Changing script type to classic works better than what I did. Now all my audio is working!

My latest builds on actual devices don't move on from the loading screen. I loaded an xcode project that I did successfully on Monday and it loaded fine. I go back and rebuild it with C3-Cordove-Xcode and then it hangs up on the loading screen. I make a simple C3 project to test, and that loads with no problem, all other more complex projects are hanging on the loading screen (except for those made prior to Tuesday). I thought it might me an issue with memory on my devices, but on my iPhone there is plenty of memory (my iPad was a bit tight).

This is all making me think that something broke on Tuesday of this week with cordova.

Edit to add:

After fooling around with this, I noticed that in the projects Advanced settings, there were two things that were different from a NEW project versus an older one (not that old). They are 1. Use Worker and Cordova iOS scheme. The old default was set to: no and legacy. The new default is: auto and modern (app:). Once I changed to the new default way, the app loads.... BUT now there's no sound! :(

Edited again!

So now it seems you have to preload sounds or there is no sound at all.

Wow, I was just about to post this very question! I save a backup of a game, but now I'm testing this feature on an iPad and it will save it to a slot, but then I invoke a download (where I usually can select where to save it) and it won't do it.

Supposedly you can do all that via the Browser plug using "on update found", and "on update ready" followed with a "reload" given that you have uploaded a new offline.json with the new export.

I'm thinking that this being tied to the offline settings is causing some confusion.

Here's a simple project to show the basic idea.

Export and upload the project then add some content and re export and upload again.

I'm confused how this works. Shouldn't there be a line that checks the local memory to see if the browser should be reloaded?

This is my fix for the caching problem (I'm still testing it and it seems to be working).

Create an .htaccess file that will tell the browser not to cache certain files. I chose to not cache the following files with the extensions: css,html,js. I do want to cache my images and audio files.

Make an .htaccess file (in the root directory of the export files - where the index.html file is) with the following code:

RewriteOptions inherit

# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

# Set the “ea-php56” package as the default “PHP” programming language.

<IfModule mime_module>

AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php56 .php .php5 .phtml

</IfModule>

# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

# DISABLE CACHING

<IfModule mod_headers.c>

Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"

Header set Pragma "no-cache"

Header set Expires 0

</IfModule>

<FilesMatch "\.(css|htm|html|js)$">

<IfModule mod_expires.c>

ExpiresActive Off

</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_headers.c>

FileETag None

Header unset ETag

Header unset Pragma

Header unset Cache-Control

Header unset Last-Modified

Header set Pragma "no-cache"

Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"

Header set Expires "Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"

</IfModule>

</FilesMatch>

If you have control of the server, and what ever method is used to point to the game, then a different directory is by far the most dependable method.

Its also better for testing, version control, etc.

The problem with doing it this way is, for people already using the game, the browser will set and get local memory from a new area, so they will be starting all over (unhappy customer).

Are you using a static page on your website or a CMS?

I use a static page.

I just made sure I had all the MIMES set (I do), thought that was it since two of the required ones were missing, but I'm still not getting a complete update (sometimes it's half updated or not updated at all). When I go into F12 I see this:

And if I do a refresh when F12 is open, then everything loads. A refresh without F12 open does nothing.
