  • No, the free version cannot build APKs. That feature only comes with a paid plan.

  • Iain's been working on official plugins, like new IAP and ad plugins.

    We could make official versions of some third-party addons, but if the third-party addon is working OK, there's not really a great incentive to do that. For the most important ones though, we probably will at some point.

  • Thanks, it's a lot better, but there's still a number of problems. (They might have been just added though, since a lot of work was just done.) Here's a new report: pt-BR-2017-11-08.txt

  • Check the bug tracker for relevant issues. It's probably this one.

  • The point of the translations is for someone with zero knowledge of English at all to be able to use the software. Currently we have a lot of bilingual users since historically Construct has only been in English, which probably means it seems easy enough if some terms are still in English. However if you don't know a word of English, something like "MovingAngle" may as well be "abcdefgh". Translating it should at least convey the gist of what it means, even if it's an unusual term or something.

    I mentioned in another post we may add a setting to leave expression names in English, and another exception might be any technical terms that have become de-facto standard in other languages.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Ok, so what do I do now? Export iOS and Android separately and run through PhoneGap build individually?

    Yes. It used to do multiple platforms at once, but like I said it made the app files unnecessarily bloated, so it's basically the same but you do them one at a time now.

  • What do you mean by setting the position of the cursor or a touch position? There isn't a feature to move the mouse cursor, and I don't think there's an API to force the user's finger to move But it sounds like you might be after the CanvasToLayerX/Y system expressions.

  • I would suggest translating expressions rather than leaving them in English, possibly with the exception of some system expressions that may be more confusing to translate (at the discretion of the translator - I'm not really familiar with this, but I think some English technical terms have become standard in other languages).

    We've considered adding a setting to display expressions in English instead of translating them so you can have it both ways, so there may as well be a translated version if possible.

  • I don't think it's feasible to either support hundreds of different versions of C3 (depending on when various people's updates have expired) with essential fixes, nor to completely abandon users whose updates have expired (some things will simply have to be fixed, like when a new iOS update breaks something or other). There are other complications like the fact the free edition is kept up-to-date, so if you logged in to an account with expired updates, you'd have to somehow be downgraded to an older version, which is difficult, and breaks compatibility with any projects you were working on in the free edition.

    Paying for a period of updates probably works if the software updates about once every six months. We, on the other hand, have done two updates this week already... and it's only Tuesday.

  • PhoneGap is called Cordova now, except Adobe's build system is still called PhoneGap Build. Choose the Android or iOS export options. You need to do them separately, to ensure only the files that platform needs are included in the app.

  • Using folder based projects is planned for the desktop builds, which we will work on after we come out of beta.

  • I didn't do anything to fix this. Only the things in the changelog were different in r248. Either one of those things was somehow responsible, or it's a sporadic issue that has simply gone away for the time being.
