I used to export my games using phonegap and cocoon.io a couple of months ago but now something strange happened. I can not use any of them. I've also tried to test it on projects that have already been built before but now I see weird errors that I don't understand...

Here's the error of phonegap:

Error - The minSdkVersion as specified in your config.xml (or the default value) is less than required by an included library. Check the log file for more information: org.xwalk.core

And here's the error of cocoon:

I wanted to know how good is it. Does anyone have any experiences with it? Is it better than phonegap, cocoon io etc. in terms of performance? And if so, how much?

Most effects are slow on mobile, but are you sure that they are the main reason of poor performance? Are you getting reasonably good FPS if you disable all effects?

Well tbh; I believe the main reason is construct's poor export options. Because when I preview over wifi it works pretty good.

Do you think the new exporter of construct 3 will do a better job?

Thanks for the tips though!

I made a game that uses a lot of webgl effects and there is just no way around it. I have to use them. But the framerate is just awful. However, it is much better when I test over wifi. But I use Cocoon to export my game and when installed it's not even playable. I even dropped the size of my layouts to 20, 38 which is pretty small. So I need to know if there is a way I can optimize my game given the fact that I can not stop using webgl effects and also how can I improve the quality of the exported game.

This is the kind of WebGL effect I use:
