In Construct, you are effectively still working in a browser on mobile (via a webview), and Cordova wraps the Android/iOS specific parts. So you either have to still code it like you would in the browser, or you'd need a Cordova plugin to use it in an app. Again this is something you'd need to talk to them about.

You linked to the documentation for Android apps, which you can't use in a browser. But if they provide a JavaScript API, it might be possible with that. I can't say for sure though, since it depends on their service. It would be best to direct questions about their service to them.

It's better to use a Text object. Putting text in an image will be comparatively poor quality and lose the ability to make any dynamic changes.

For security reasons, browsers block access to cross-origin (i.e. different domain) iframes.

The only way you can get data from a cross-origin iframe is via the postMessage API - and the iframe page must be specifically coded to receive messages and send back the information you want. If it doesn't already do that and you don't control the iframe page, it's not possible to get any information from it.

It's hard to tell from just this. It looks like you might have a browser extension installed that is interfering. Try disabling any browser extensions.

I just tried using Construct offline and it worked fine. It's difficult to help without knowing what happened. Maybe you cleared your browser cache or something - that would delete the files used to run offline.

It's difficult to help without more information. Try pressing F12 and check the browser console for any additional error messages.

I don't think Firefox supports web apps like Chrome does at the moment.

Construct 2 will be retired in July. If you want a modern and well supported product with good on-going support for various features and platforms, upgrade to Construct 3.

I'm afraid it's difficult to tell from just this information. If you think it's a problem with Construct, please file an issue following all the guidelines - we need all that information to be able to help.

The C3 runtime is far faster than the C2 runtime across a wide range of benchmarks.

The CPU usage measurement is an estimate. You should not read too much in to it, especially with small variations like the one you described. The manual entry on the cpuutilisation expression describes its limitations in more detail. IIRC we also fixed some bugs in the cpuutilisation expression for the C3 runtime - in some cases activity is incorrectly not measured at all in the C2 runtime, so the C3 measurement should be considered more accurate.

The 'Use worker' setting is also documented in Project properties with an explanation of each option.
