This new version of AppGameKit brings all these new features and tweaks:
Translations
- The IDE now supports Google translated texts for Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Russian languages.
Android
- Fixed Android apps that set ARCore as required being rejected by Google due to missing AndroidManifest.xml feature
- Fixed tapping on notifications from the app whilst the app is open on Android causing a blank screen or image corruption
- Android expansion files can now be used to store 3D objects, OGG and WAV files, and any file opened with OpenToRead
- Use the prefix "expansion:" to load files from expansion files, e.g. OpenToRead("expansion:MyFile.txt"), the file will be extracted from the expansion file to the write folder then opened as normal
- Subsequent requests to open "expansion:MyFile.txt" will read the file directly from the write folder without re-extracting it, unless the file has been deleted
iOS
- iOS will now automatically change the app orientation if SetOrientationAllowed is used when the device is in an orientation that is no longer allowed
IDE
- Added check box in the IDE preference to produce 64-bit executables on Windows instead of 32-bit executables
- Fixed an error about a missing games_app_id entry in the values.xml file when exporting for Amazon if the Google Play App ID field has a value even if it is greyed out
- Steam Windows users can now post their projects to the Steam Workshop and download shared projects with these new menu items. This is a Beta feature which we encourage you to try out and send us feedback on.
