I've uploaded a new version to Steam and the TGC downloads area with the following changes

* Fixed cloud data commands on Android sometimes failing to connect to Google Drive
* Fixed iOS export with a blank Universal Link field causing the IDE to crash
* Fixed retina display on Mac causing AppGameKit apps to render in the lower left corner of the window
* Fixed IPAs exported from the IDE causing errors about transparent icons during upload to iTunesConnect
* Fixed warning about iOS spash screen being stretched when it was actually fine
* Increased Android keystore generator certificate validity from 10,000 days to 20,000 days for Google Play store changes
* Fixed crash when loading a Spirter file that contains an image without a bone parent
* Added support for animated GIF images with the LoadImage command
* Added GetRawJoystickName to return the OS assigned name for a joystick on Windows and Linux
* Fixed Amazon IAP causing a crash at startup
* Added PlayYoutubeVideo for iOS and Android to play the video in a popup, desktop platforms will open the browser to play it
* Added ShareFile command for iOs and Android

Let me know if you have any problems

Thank you

Could you at all possible have this as a New Project starter code at all



But this is my preference as I use screenwidth and screenheight through out my apps and it maybe helpful

And i tried to make a YouTube Playing DLL Plug in with no success, so a great update here...

Happy to see another update, especially GetRawJoystickName and the animated GIF loading is nice, too.
Thanks!

Paul, unfortunately it doesn't look like the Android Cloud feature has changed at all. It still shows the choose the google account window and then returns -2 after selecting one. It could just be my device. I only have the one Android device to test with.

iOS works fine. If you do remove it in the future because you can't get it to work properly are you going to remove it for both Android and iOS or just Android? Just wondering if it's worth including in my app and have the code filtered for iOS only. I don't want to do that if it's likely to be removed completely in a near future release

The commands won't be removed, we rarely if ever do that, they will just be left as is

Thanks Paul !

ShareFile is cool, but someone know : if a file is shared by an AppGameKit application, how to accept the shared file ?
Someone have try and know the code (if it's possible) ?

@Riusz, I've not tried ShareFile but I assume it's exactly like ShareImage but for any filetype/extension. The example says that one way it can be shared is by attaching it to an email. So that would be one way the recipient could receive it and they wouldn't need to know your code.

What they do with it really depends on what you're sharing.

Should I generate the keystore again? I will not have problems when uploading the new APK to the Store? The generated keys will be different !!
What should I do?

Thanks, I'm starting to use it! Works.
I must try on Raspberry pi3.
In Android it always returns empty ...

"XInput Device" is the controller of xbox 360 controls always? True? It does not work getting the POV the digital cross!!

I have tried the GIF option and it looks great.
However I have problems with Playvideo.
I attach the code that worked in my Trial Version (working) and that of the Premium Version (it does not look more than the sound of the video)
Go!

Lovely to be getting these updates!

Long shot, but does the animated gif enable you to have a spinning loading icon (ie background type processing).

On MacOS Mojave the editor is noticeably more laggy than the previous version. Scrolling up and down though source code and highlighting blocks of code are no longer smooth like previous versions.

If you copy the two Geany files from an older version of AppGameKit into this version then the IDE works at the normal speed again.

@Paul

There is a bug in 2018-12-12 on MacOS.

GetDeviceWidth() - Returns retina resolution whereas in previous versions it was returning the none retina resolution
GetDeviceHeight() - Returns retina resolution whereas in previous versions it was returning the none retina resolution

GetMaxDeviceWidth() - Returns none retina resolution ( same as before )
GetMaxDeviceHeight() - Returns none retina resolution ( same as before )

@Paul

First of all: Thanks for your steady work and the continuous updates.

Is it possible, when drawing things to the backbuffer, the DrawLine and the DrawBox command work perfect together, but not the DrawText command?
What I mean by this is, it's no problem to draw lines above the drawn box, but drawn text upon the previously drawn box is invisible.

At present I manage this by setting the desired color with the combination of SetClearColor and ClearScreen
or
in case I need to draw a picture while the program is already running and I'm to lazy to hide all the sprites and texts etc. I use a simple sprite with a 0-Image with a depth laying above all other stuff and draw upon this.
