I'm making my first mobile game (testing on iPhone), and I'm running into a problem with the touch screen controls. If I touch and hold, it takes about a half second for the game to actually detect that a touch has occurred. The game itself is a somewhat precise platformer, so this becomes a bit of a problem as the player progresses. I'm not sure if this is a problem on the Godot side or the iPhone side, or somewhere in between.

I should note that the lag does NOT occur if I immediately swipe a small amount after my finger makes contact with the touchscreen. If I could replicate this responsiveness with a normal touch, that'd be ideal.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I forgot to say, my setup currently is using the 2D touch buttons, though I've also tried using Control buttons that respond to touch.

Turns out it was an issue with Godot 3.2.3. I just deployed using 3.2.2 and it's all good now.
