  See the manual section on Exporting with Advanced minification, which includes advice on debugging issues. It's difficult to provide any further help unless you provide more information, such as a sample project.

  The Online multiplayer in Construct tutorial series covers a lot of what you'll need to know.

  My best guess is a browser extension is breaking Construct. Try disabling any browser extensions you have installed.

  JavaScript doesn't contain enough information for accurate autocomplete - if you want that, make sure you're using TypeScript.

  I'll take a look at setting that up. Feature requests are regularly reviewed, but as I mentioned before, we get so many it is a very large amount of work even just to respond to them all in any useful way. If any suggestion you care about for any reason is closed due to expiring, and you still care about it, you can just resubmit it - you will only have to do that once a year.

  It's normal that some cross-domain requests send a "preflight" request before the actual request, for security reasons. If the server is correctly configured then this shouldn't affect how it works. There's more information in the MDN guide on CORS.

  See the guide in the manual on using an external editor.

  The code in your initial post appears to be correct. Maybe you didn't set the right script purpose properties. The easiest way to get help is to share a project file, so others can see exactly what you've done - otherwise all we can do is guess.

  As writing JavaScript code for a multiplayer game is a very advanced use case, the script API just gives you access to sending and receiving messages, and then you can write your own synchronization code on top of that. That's the approach used in Command & Construct.

  Performance will most likely be absolutely fine and you don't need to worry about it. See Performance Tips in the manual for more advice.

  Construct moved from UIWebView to WKWebView several years ago already. If you're seeing that message for an old app, exporting it with the latest version will move it to WKWebView. However if it's an old app, updating it may have some compatibility issues, so you might just want to leave it as-is - the warning only says they don't accept it for new apps, and existing apps can continue to use UIWebView.

  I'd be willing to put each issue on its own 12 month timer, but I can't find an easy way to set that up - it looks like all the existing stock GitHub actions are for other management workflows, such as only closing issues if they are stale (inactive for a period of time), whereas I want to automatically unconditionally close an issue after a time delay.

  If anyone can point me to something easy that does that by mid-January I'll set that up, but otherwise I'll just manually close everything as originally planned - I'm too busy to spend long trying to figure out how to do custom GitHub actions.

  If you're using PNG and JPEG, you're behind the times - at least use the modern WebP format, and if you are willing to reduce image quality to get smaller file sizes, then use the AVIF format for lossy images too.

  There's not enough information here to be able to help. The easiest way to get help is to share a minimal project demonstrating the issue. E.g. make a new empty project with just a button that shares some test data when you click it; if that works, it's probably a mistake in your project, if it doesn't, then you can share that on the forum to ask why not, or use it in a bug report.

  There's not enough information here to be able to help. In general if you believe there is a problem with Construct then please file an issue following all the guidelines, as we need all that information to be able to help.
