Cheers Paul, slight issue with the Tier 2 Mac build. When I run the build it goes fine with no errors but shows a black screen until I move the running window and then it shows the blue screen with the FPS.
Anyone else got the same?

It seems other projects using GLFW are having the same problem with MacOS 10.14, I've added some code that will move the window slightly after it is created which seems to work around the issue for now until GLFW 3.3 is released. The TGC download file is the same so just re-download the Mac file, Steam will auto update.

The Pi version is now live, it always takes a little longer to finish

@PaulJ

Hi Paul, looks like Mac is really struggling with AppGameKit, having problems with Tier 1 also with drawing to screen. This drawing code draws to the bottom left quarter of the screen instead of full screen which it is supposed to do and which is what it did before the update. Also problems with building iOS IPA's from AppGameKit as crashes.
Drawing is using render to image with double buffer method.

Hi Paul, When I attempt to export an iOS IPA from our current Tier 1 project, AppGameKit (Version 2018.11.08) crashes with the following message displayed: "AppGameKit quit unexpectedly." Reverting to the previous version of AppGameKit (2018.10.10), the IPA is exported successfully.

The Mac rendering in the corner of the window looks like it might be caused by retina displays, I've uploaded a new Mac version (2018.11.08b) which should fix it, although I can't test it here. That version also includes a fix for the IPA export crash which was caused if the Universal Link field was left blank.

@PaulJ, I haven't checked the IPA export crash yet but the rendering is now full screen so thanks and yes I do have a retina screen so must have been that then.

Cheers.
