And the problem is what?

What version of AppGameKit are you working with?

What platform (iOS or Android)?

If Android, did you download the most recent one from the 'My Products' TGC page?

If iOS, did you build your own player with Xcode?

the player at the app store is extremely outdated.

There is alot of compiled newer players in this forum.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread , ZTE Skate , 480x800 , 800 mhz cpu , Samsung Galaxy Y , 240x320 , 832 mhz cpu
Android 4.0 Sandwich , Dmtech 3g 9738B , 1024x768 , 9.7 inches , cortex A8 1.2 cpu , 1 gb ram.

I'm sure that's a typo, but I like it

I wonder if there's a similar typo for portrait?

Porktrain?

Porntrait?

We would need to see what you are doing in your code before we could help. Just in case you are doing anything that forces one orientation.

Here is a simple Tier 1 bit of code so you can see if your Player is even recognizing orientation changes:


But it is absolutely a must that you have the latest player. Prior to v1076, the Players were not using native stuff to detect and switch orientations.

Attached is a v1076 Android Player apk. Yes, it is named interpreter_android.apk, but it is a full Player.

When you first launch the player, turn your device so it is in landscape mode and then tilt it towards you to ensure that landscape orientation has been activated. Then, when you run your app, it should react suitably in the player. I have found that when I first launch the player it will often be in Portrait until I tilt the device towards me in landscape, to prevent portrait/landscape from getting confused in the app itself. Just a thought.

I still find it frustrating that the player/viewer hasn't been updated on Google Play or iTunes since v1.04 or so. I doubt many users are anxious to compile the players themselves, but they must if they want to test their Tier 1 apps with the latest AGK.

Even the AppGameKit Player for Android that has been posted in 'My Downloads' is buggy, the one AL compiled and shared is the only one that works well for me on Android. I imagine new users will be very confused and aggravated by the incompatible players, and it is not easy to find current builds from random forum posts.

I was not aware that the current Android Player that is available on your TGC 'My Products' download player ('Android AppGameKit Player (beta)', the AppGameKit developers put that there after there were enough complaints) was buggy.

But I agree that the one on the Google Play store should be up to date.

And as for iTunes, Apple will not allow TGC to post any Player whatsoever. The only thing you can get for an iOS device on their store is a Viewer, which is practically useless. This is something that Apple is restricting, not TGC.

I am not a TGC employee, just a volunteer. And I do appreciate the frustration new developers (and old) can have with Player issues. I'm fortunate in having a setup that lets me build my own iOS Player. I generally do not use Players. I build in Xcode and Eclipse and download/connect to install on my devices.
