  This should have been fixed in r175. Please only file a bug if it reproduces in the latest release.

  Try it in C3 if you can, we've made a range of improvements for the iPhone X display there.

  No, iframes do display on iOS 12 and older. They just aren't scrollable, but that doesn't matter for YouTube videos, since they don't scroll.

  According to caniuse, it looks like Safari does not support speech recognition.

  Have you read the Multiplayer tutorial series? It covers many of the P2P concepts involved.

  According to our measurements, and from other industry estimates we've seen, P2P connections work about 90% of the time across the open internet. Of course if your device is in the 10%, it may seem like "it doesn't work at all", but it does work the vast majority of the time. You can cover almost all the last 10% by hosting a TURN server, which is what most commercial P2P games/apps will do to ensure connectivity. However it's a bandwidth relay server and means you'll have to pay the hosting costs, which is why it's not enabled by default and you have to set up your own.

  Icons are also used when using the browser "install" feature (for Progressive Web Apps, and all exported web projects are PWAs). E.g. this lets you create a desktop shortcut to a web game, and it uses the icons for the shortcut.

  Some (but not all) exporters also look at the icons and use them as the app icon where possible.

  With the most recent versions of chrome allowing local files, could we just write scripts in our editor of choice?

  Yes, you could save as a folder project and then edit the project's .js files in a different editor.

  Yeah, you don't need reflection in to the property list for that - you can already read property values, get callbacks when they change, and set initial values in OnCreate() or OnPlacedInLayout().

  You can embed YouTube videos with the iframe plugin.

  It's not supported because nothing in Construct needs it. What do you need it for?

  It's normal that mobile devices warm up when they are doing intensive processing, and most games are intensive since they run both the CPU and GPU constantly.

  As far as I can tell it's not technically feasible right now, with or without streaming. In fact it's possible using complex streaming technology actually makes it even less feasible, not more. To me "solve it with streaming" sounds too much like "solve it with magic".

  I think iPads actually support the 'Request fullscreen' action now, so you could try using that, although (as has always been an issue on iOS) there are fixed overlays/touch zones that you can't remove, so you have to design your game around. It's only iPhones where 'Request fullscreen' still does not work.

  That bug with the font not reverting back seems to be a weird one though

  It's just a typo in the BBcode. It says [\font], not [/font].

  Here's a clearer test: dropbox.com/s/fqduhek8ncez338/emojifonttest2.c3p

  It seems to work fine in Chrome and Firefox on Windows, and Chrome on Android. It doesn't work in Edge on Windows, but that is due to be replaced with Chromium-based edge soon anyway. I haven't tried Safari though.
