  As far as I'm aware, the vast majority of Android devices work just fine both in the browser and in APKs. Only certain specific devices seem to have issues. I'm afraid I don't think a GPU driver issue can be ruled out just yet: rendering and GPU drivers are extremely complex, and the mere fact that APKs work slightly differently to the browser means it's possible a GPU driver issue affects the APK but not the browser. I still don't know what's really going on here - it would be best to follow it up with Google and answer any questions they have to help them get to the bottom of it.

  There are all sorts of uses: you can deform and warp the appearance of objects, make interesting shape platforms to run along, etc...

  The key point is it's a 2D feature. If you try to crowbar it in to trying to do 3D, it won't work like you want it to.

  It's a 2D feature, not a 3D feature. The distortion is 2D and not the same as 3D perspective. Triangles are also drawn in a specific order, so it might not look right if you do extreme distortions that make triangles overlap.

  I'm afraid it's still not clear to me what you're trying to do, why there needs to be communication, and why it can't be solved just by exposing triggers and actions in your plugins so there doesn't need to be any cross-plugin communication (which is the preferred design).

  In general, plugins should not communicate with each other. It tends to be a brittle and inflexible design. What are you trying to do exactly? Normally there's a better way to do it.

  If you design a game that is very demanding on the GPU, it will use a lot of GPU resources. This is more a general game design issue than specific to Construct since it's true with any graphics technology. For more advice see Performance tips.

  I'd advise using the latest version of Construct 3 (r225) and the modern C3 runtime. Otherwise I'd assume it's a problem we already fixed.

  I tried an iOS export yesterday and it worked fine.

  There's nothing meaningful I can see in that log.

  This is all documented in the manual entry on functions.

  JavaScript functions and functions in the event sheet are different. Typing "Functions." in an expression only displays functions in the event sheet.
