Bluetooth mouse not working AT ALL on iOS 17

[UPDATE] WORKAROUND: AssistiveTouch must be enabled for the mouse to work in iOS 17.

I haven’t used a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard to play Minecraft on my iPhone in months. Not since like 1.19.5. But today I decided I wanted to play Minecraft Bedrock again, and since my Windows laptop has now become a glorified paperweight, I have to use my iPhone to do so, since I don’t have an iPad or a Mac with Apple Silicon. But when I opened the world, my Bluetooth mouse does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It used to work perfectly fine (at least for movement, attacking/breaking, placing, interacting, etc.). It never worked in the menus but now is completely unresponsive in-game. I’m really frustrated because I absolutely hate using touch controls on Minecraft, and now it doesn’t seem to recognize my Bluetooth mouse anymore. I have no idea if it has to do with some weird change in iOS 17 that wasn’t in iOS 16 or maybe something broke since the release of 1.20. I just want to use my mouse again
