Ashley I see more and more reports in different posts that safe area expressions return 0 on phones with a notch. I thought it was only my phone, but it seems like it's the same on all Android and Apple devices.
Can it be a bug? Or maybe the construct-mobile-notchfix plugin causes this?

Same thing happens with me it returns 0.

Hi, guys how do I use safe area expressions to support the notches on a phone as at the moment my content goes behind the notch and it covers buttons on my UI, How can I detect the notch and move the UI according to the detection?

Yes I agree, the developer Is not responding, the plugins are sold as supporting c3 but it says nowhere that it doesn't support c3 runtime?

Unfortunately, the trick didn't work on iOS as it adds black marks on both sides like if we use letterbox Scale but much smaller Black bars.

Also the "construct-mobile-notchfix" is not included on the config.json and config.xml when you export to iOS.

Here are the results:

Auto & ScaleOuter & Hide Statur Bar

Cover & ScaleOuter & Hide Statur Bar

======================================

Letterbox Scale & Auto

Thanks for posting the results.

Construct isn't an appropriate tool for making a website. There is no good answer, because it's designed for making games, not responsive websites. I'd advise sticking to HTML.

Ok no worries

Hi guys I want to make a website using a construct layout as my website, but what viewport size would I use so I can support mobile website etc as well as a normal PC screen sized website?

Is there a reason you're not starting with the official documentation? This is all covered in the tutorial iOS application development and publishing with Xcode.

As It states you need a mac.

Is testing on ios not as simple as android. As with android we just export to a debug APK and then load it onto a device. Is it not the same with IOS?

After 2 mounts you should provide at least explanation or suggestion for this, why those PlatformInfo functions don't work for notch/cutout area. This is must have features for any mobile game...

Ashley

Or we have to buy plugin like this constructcollection.com/construct-mobile-notch

I have asked the same on my post:

construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/support-notch-phone-151201
I think an example on how to use these expressions to adapt your layout to the notch would be useful!

construct-mobile-notchfix (which uses the full screen area) is only applied if you tick "Hide status bar", since it is assuming you want to use the full screen display area. You can untick that to leave the default notch handling behavior (shrinking to avoid it) instead.

If you do use the full display area, the Platform Info object safe area expressions tell you where to move anything important so it's not obscured by the notch.

Ashley
Are there any examples on how to use theses expressions to avoid the notch?
