Perhaps all the Scirra devs are working on the new 'runtime' - seeing as C3 'browser based' is so robust and all.

We've closed around 95% of all issues filed for Construct 3 - well over 1000 reports. We have thousands of happy users who use it daily. Can you point to any specific issues that are giving you trouble?

Not right now as Ive been out of country, but no doubt when I use it this weekend I will have issues if the last 3x are anything to go by: build server, adMob ads plugin etc.

Alternatively, just go read others recent posts - you'll find something.

Update: I saved you the time, here's one -

Many software tools out there only have updates every few months. I think we've really spoiled you with regular updates if you think 18 days is a long time!

And I think we (the customers) have really spoilt you by not raising holy he$$ over the fact that C3 is buggy and unreliable - yet youre now fragmenting again.

Instead of working-on/releasing yet another strain of Construct (runtime) that has to be maintained, why not get what we're paying for into decent shape- C3? Barely a day goes by without some link in the process being broken or not working as expected. Yet everybody seems to be OK with it - its bizarre.

Hi. I just created a privacy policy by going to" app-privacy-policy-generator (dot)firebaseapp(dot)com "

and under "information you collect" i just say user-permission and in the right hand side choose admob. Then I created a blogger blog - tulendragupta(dot)blogspot(dot)in and paste it there and then copy the link and add it in the google play console.

Hope that helps.

Nice - thanks so much.

I have the same thing. I cannot build today "Unsigned release APK".

In the interest of fairness, edited my comments as I just got home and the build is working for me. So far.

I'm not trying to be an a$$ here but I'd rather Scirra spend my subscription $ focusing on fixing and maintaining the online C3 environment. No point in making things "faster" if they rarely work in the first place. It seems every time I sit down to work "somethings broken".

I finally gave up and added a privacy policy for my very simple game

How did you do that, website? Thanks

> Dear All,

> I have made a simple mobile game using construct 3 latest build R89. I then made an unsigned release build and signed it with my key. when i upload it on google play console. i am getting this message - "Your app has an APK with version code 1000000 that requests the following permission(s): android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE. Apps using these permissions in an APK are required to have a privacy policy set.". my game is very simple and i dont intend to read any phone data so i make an android studio build and opened it up, there in the android manifest file I did not see any user permission stating read_phone_state.

Are you integrating ads? If so, the admob API is probably using the state of the phone (connectivity to serve ads etc.) - it was an admob bug that was supposedly fixed.

I did some modifications in my game, but only design related and when I tried to re-upload my game on Google Play I get this message "Your APK is using permissions that require a privacy policy: (android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)" Does anyone know why is this happening and how can I fix it? Do I really need to have a Privacy Policy? I export the game as unsigned .apk and sign it with the same key as I always do. Thank you!

But I just uploaded a new version of the .apk, without changing any configuration in the google play account (last one I uploaded worked just fine). So can "child appropriate" behavior be inferred from Construct 2 or what exactly do you mean?

When submitting your app, there is a check-mark that asks if the app/game is intended for children. I have found that if that option is checked, Google then asks for a privacy policy. If unchecked, they don't.

Google polices change so often it is possible that new requirements were introduced between your versions.

I think you have a good point ,

with C3 Scirra selling game development as a sub service now, including the build service,

and considering many here (myself included) will be weekend only developers.

I dont think it is unreasonable to expect some sort of weekend monitoring and emergency cover / support for the tool, especially the build server. (assuming not in place presently)

Thank you! I'm really not trying to be awkward here. I'm merely asking for what I'm paying for.

I think there is a misunderstanding here.

No misunderstanding. I have C2 and ONLY paid for C3 for the build services. I can do everything I need to with C2 EXCEPT build seamlessly - hence my subscription. I have no option to "visit another bar", it's the only bar in town - unless I grow my own hops, ferment the beer, and then serve myself (build offline).

I'm paying for time-saving functionality, and I'm not getting it.

Uhm...how can you blame C3 / Scirra for your "logistics" by being at work and not being able to work on C3? Scirra can't be responsible for when and how you can use the software only for potential issues you may be having. Posting about how you can and can't work and losing time and wasting your SUB just silly ...

So just so I'm clear; I should not be complaining that a service that I am paying for is not avaialable when I have time to use it? That's your stance?

In that case; if I book a vacation for when I'm not working, then turn up at the hotel to take the vacation, and I am then told that my room isn't available, but it was last week (when I was working) - that's OK with you guys?

What's going on here? Am I honestly the "bad guy" because I want a working environment that I'm PAYING for?
