We mentioned in the release notes it's difficult to maintain and seems to have little usage. Also note it's an iOS-only feature so has nothing to do with Android.
The Local Storage plugin saves to a database in the app data folder. You shouldn't sync the whole app data folder on Steam Cloud though - usually you just want a small amount of specifically chosen data per user. You can do that with the File System plugin and Steam Auto-cloud - see this documentation for more details.
Try the Learn JavaScript in Construct tutorial series - 'for' loops are covered in part 4.
TypeScript needs to generate JavaScript that refers to a filename like "./globals.js", because that's how it works in the browser. You can configure TypeScript however you like, so long as it outputs that. I think I saw that TypeScript 5.7 is going to be adding some new options around this.
1. The new minifier should work the same as the old one, and that includes full support for savegames.
2. The new minifier doesn't achieve quite as small sizes as the old one, which is a known difference, but it has much better support for modern JavaScript so we have to switch to it anyway to be able to keep making further improvements to Construct. It should still be highly effective at protecting projects against reverse-engineering as it still makes the code very difficult to read.
It works for me.

Our LTS schedule is oriented around a summer release for the next LTS branch - and we've already released it.
We don't currently intend to backport any new features to LTS releases. The goal is only to maintain them with essential bug fixes and compatibility updates.
Send your project to supportrca@construct.net and we'll take a look. Note most such recent cases have been due to an issue this guide covers.
You can already do a similar thing if you add instance variables to act as signal parameters.
All we did is change an audio playback workaround that was already used in some cases, to be used in more cases.
There are no changes in this update that should affect project compatibility. If you believe there is a new problem, please file an issue following all the guidelines.
