Hi all,

Just a big thumbs up from over here (I know that was a joystick) for the broadcast feature. First time I've used it. I had an iPad and Android phone on the same network, both running AppGameKit Player. Pressed Broadcast and they both ran the app at the same time. No problems. MOST impressed.

Quick question: On AppGameKit Player, do the apps behave in exactly the same way as if they were installed from App/Play store, etc.?

Ta!

in playstore it is a combination of interpreter core + bytecode.byc file in media folder.

should do (unless you had any extra permission requirements in your app i guess though not 100% sure)

The code (APK or IPA) you upload is the player (pre-packaged with your game). So yes it should run exactly the same.
However you might have some differences with permissions, IAP, and Ads (since permissions will vary between the AppGameKit Player and your game APK, and IAP/Ads might require your game ID (com.company.game) to be registered and it will only work with that version, meaning you can't test IAP on the Player but you can on the complied APK)

The app store specific features will likely not work properly on the player. This includes leaderboards, achievements, in-app purchases. Sometimes it can also create a mess for later as Android may cache some ID's for the app and get confused a they change when loaded from app store vs broadcast. Of course, anyone who loads only from play store will not see this.
