Browsers prevent web pages playing audio until you interact with them, so that random web pages/ads can't annoy you with music and sounds unless you want them. Since this is designed to prevent abuse, there is no way around it, other than designing your game to use a click/touch to start the game, as — described.

Try pressing F12 and check for a more detailed error in the browser console.

Clearing your cache and reloading Construct may help.

Unfortunately browsers don't have permission to launch external apps that way. You should be able to use other workflows though, such as copy-pasting the image, or saving it to a project folder.

Running in the background is usually wasteful and will unnecessarily consume system resources and drain batteries. If you want to do something like issue a reward to the player based on how long it's been since they last played, you can do that by measuring the time the game was in the background for in 'On suspended' and 'On resumed', and that's far more efficient than wasting resources for hours/days.

Swipe in from the side of the screen to access side bars. Swipe in repeatedly to cycle through other bars. This is how you reach both the Layers Bar and the color palette in the Animations Editor.

I would advise to just use the default letterbox scaling for the time being.

It's an easy question to answer because if you try removing the "" and click 'Done', Construct will show an error as it's an invalid expression.

Construct should disable selection of the main game canvas. If it's still selectable, please file an issue following all the guidelines.

The build server will have no impact on the runtime performance.

People constantly replied to years-old threads thinking they had the same problem, but it was completely unrelated; or asking if the thread was still relevant, when it was years out of date; etc. etc. So threads are auto-locked after one year.
