  The feature was redesigned last year. See the blog post Construct 3's new redesigned functions.

  As far as I can tell, both the moving "push" object and the walls are solid, so if it pushes you in to a wall it's exactly the "crushing in a confined space" situation I described. There's literally nowhere the player can go that isn't overlapping a solid. So what is the engine supposed to do? It's an impossible situation, so the problem is with your game design - you should avoid doing that.

  You've probably misconfigured the keystore - double-check you entered everything correctly.

  The Construct project source file is what you make open source.

  The exported project is not human-editable, so it is not what you make open source and that aspect of it is irrelevant to this discussion. It's like saying a compiled EXE is "open source" because you can edit the assembly, but it's not, the source code that was used to compile it is what is open source.

  I'm not sure what you mean. This has been the documented way to handle memory management for years, by the way.

  It should never happen. All behaviors have rigorous algorithms to prevent them ever becoming stuck in solids wherever possible, except in extreme circumstances such as crushing it with solids in a confined space. It's hard to say more without seeing a sample project.

  See the section "dynamically creating objects" in the manual section on the C3 runtime.

  All you need to do is place all objects the layout will use on the layout, and destroy them on startup if you don't need them right away. Then Construct's memory management will handle everything smoothly. This was true in C2 and is still true in C3, except the details about how dynamically loading objects that were not already pre-loaded are different (since it's now done in a way to improve performance and reduce in-game jank).

  Your Construct project file can be open source. You can also of course publish your project. That is different to using Construct's source code for purposes that it was not intended.

  It works fine here. It's impossible to help without comprehensive details about exactly what you are doing - see the bug report guidelines for the kind of information we need.

  That's what the addon SDK is for.

  No, don't use the Platform Info object. See the example Detecting input method for the best way to do this.
