Multi-touch on android auto not working

Hi guys, thanks for Hudiy it's a nice project alternative for the old Openauto pro.
I installed it on my raspberry pi 4 model B with a waveshare screen that support multi-touch.
Problem :
On Android Auto google maps or waze, I can't pinch to zoom. The raspberry receives the multi-touch so the problem is probably on the applicative layer.
Do you have any idea to fix this ?

Hello,
By default labwc emulates a mouse using touchscreen input. If that is enabled (enabled by default in labwc on Raspberry Pi), applications will receive mouse events instead of touchscreen events. You can disable this in $HOME/.config/labwc/rc.xml by changing mouseEmulation from yes to no in touch node
https://labwc.github.io/labwc-config.5. ... emulation=
Additionally, we recommend updating to version 1.6/2.2, where we have improved multi-touch support for the latest labwc.

What about for autobox? I thought the new carplay update was allowing multitouch for zooming in etc. I can’t seem to get it to work

Unfortunately, Carlinkit dongles do not support multi touch.
