  • Just remove your test addon from the Addon Manager.

  • The overhead of the event engine likely makes the difference negligible.

  • But has Scirra/Construct filed or notified Apple of this problem as an engine developer?

    So far I don't believe I've been able to reproduce the problem myself. We cannot file a bug report if we can't reproduce the problem - if it looks like everything works, how can we tell Apple it's broken? Getting us to reproduce the problem is just an unnecessary extra step anyway, as all we'd do is forward the issue on to Apple. So it will be quicker to cut us out and report the problem directly.

    Does Scirra have a contact at Apple or relationship they can follow up on?

    Absolutely not. Apple are notoriously secretive to the point of absurdity, e.g. they mark bugs as fixed but can't tell us when the fix will ship, only saying "Apple does not comment on future releases" as a standard response. If Apple made anyone available to us, we'd definitely talk to them about such issues, but they do not make any such person available nor do they appear to have a culture that would be open to such an idea.

    So in short, you're probably best off reporting iOS regressions directly to Apple. No software is perfect, all platforms have bugs and occasional regressions - this really is business as usual in the software world. And if people keep trying to pressure us to do something about it when it's impossible for us to do anything about it, it will only make it take longer to solve the problem. This has happened before in other ways and to be honest it's pretty frustrating for us; I know you all just want it to be fixed but it is genuinely out of our hands and we have few options - Apple need to fix it and if you keep telling us to do something about it then you'll get nowhere, because so far there's nothing we can do.

  • I already prototyped something similar but it's blocked on a bug in Safari that causes it to break all rendering.

  • If you run in to a problem please file an issue following all the guidelines, as we need all that information to be able to help.

  • Make sure you specify "scale outer" again in the Request fullscreen action. It lets you choose a different fullscreen mode when entering the browser fullscreen mode, and if you want to keep the same setting you must set it again there.

  • Use the Post binary to URL action of the AJAX object. Pick your Binary Data object, and its data will be posted as binary to the server.

  • If anyone sends us a project that is a corrupted zip, all I do is try WinRAR's 'Repair' button. You can try that yourself. Usually it doesn't bring everything back though - corrupt data usually means something has gone missing.

  • I just want to emphasise my previous post that points out if something worked on iOS 14 but broke in iOS 15, it's likely Apple that broke it, and so such problems are probably best reported directly to them. If it's iOS or Safari that is broken, there's usually little we can do about it ourselves; only Apple can fix problems in iOS or Safari.

  • Yes, you can use raw binary data with the Binary Data object. You should never need to have to use base64 unless you are trying to put binary data in a text format, e.g. in a JSON file.

    I don't know what you mean by float64 - that's a data type, not a compression or encoding scheme like base64.

  • This is a very difficult problem - by far the easiest thing to do is allow them to overlap, but perhaps add some extra logic to move them in different directions in some circumstances. See past discussions here and here.

  • Exported HTML5 games are definitely not affected. The Log4j vulnerability is based on Java technology, not to be confused with JavaScript, an entirely different browser-based technology. Therefore HTML5 games use entirely different technologies that are not affected.

    The only place Java is used in Construct's exports is for Android apps, and as far as I can tell, the Log4j vulnerability does not affect Android. So in short, it does not affect any of Construct's exports at all.
