The AppGameKit Player app on the iOS and Google Play stores is now using the AppGameKit Studio version of the player. This new version is backwards compatible with AppGameKit Classic and we have no plans to introduce any changes that will break this compatibility. However, this does mean that apps broadcast to these players may behave slightly differently to apps which you export from the AppGameKit Classic IDE. Firstly, apps running on the new iOS player will be running on Metal instead of OpenGL ES, so performance may be different between exported and broadcast apps. There may also be differences in app behaviour if one version has bugs that aren't present in the other.
If you wish to continue broadcasting AppGameKit Classic apps to the AppGameKit Classic player then you will need to side load the AppGameKit Player app from your AppGameKit Classic installation.
We hope your enjoy this new build of AppGameKit Classic!
As usual, Steam owners of AppGameKit Classic will have the update ready for them. TheGameCreators customers can download the new version direct from our servers from their order history area of the TheGameCreators website
