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

- Fixed expansion file commands causing a crash on Android 9 and above
- Fixed SnapChat commands not working on Android
- Updated Android export dialog to remove unsupported versions of Android from the drop down list
- Fixed SnapChat commands not working in exported iOS apps
- Fixed gl_FrontFacing in shaders being inverted when rendering to a render image
- Added deeplink parameter to SetLocalNotification command which will get passed to the app if the notification is tapped
- Fixed virtual buttons with non-square images incorrectly recording a button press when tapped outside the image
- SetVirtualButtonSize(id, x, y) will now set the button size correctly when using non-square images

Let me know if you have any problems

I have a problem with this update, precisely with the virtual buttons.

In my game they stopped working, the GetVirtualButtonPressed function
does not return 1, when I press the virtual buttons.

in the previous update: 2019.09.10
it works perfectly,
GetVirtualButtonPressed has been broken in this new 2019.09.27

I am forced to use the previous version.


-------------
A suggestion for virtual buttons: Possibility to change the Z depth
SetVirtualButtonDepth (id, Depth)

Virtual buttons are always painted above all sprites and texts, nothing can be painted above them.

Can you create small example that demonstrates the problem? The example I used to test the fix worked fine.

did Classic receive the same 2019.09.17 Studio updates where appropriate?

The last Classic post was 2019.09.10 with 2019.09.27 next.

This is as expected, the pointer state can't change until control is handed back to the operating system to poll the input state

All the changes to AppGameKit Classic are in the AppGameKit Classic change log. Where changes were applied to both Classic and Studio they will appear in both the Classic and Studio change logs.

Waths the reason agk only support android 4.4 and api 19 now?
I lost many users with the transition from 4.1 and api 16.

I only wonder if its tuning and performance issues?

what?

the OUYA only supports Android 4.1, so what now? The OUYA export is there, but also no Android 4.1 in the drop-down.

I am working long time on a game for the OUYA, but now I can't use App Game Kit Studio anymore for export? And also App Game Kit Classic has only Android 4.4?

I don't know what could have caused that

I was not aware that Ouya only went up to 4.1. I'll add the old versions back into the APK export dialog

Quote: "Waths the reason agk only support android 4.4 and api 19 now?"

The SnapChat commands require 4.4 or above, but if you're not using those then I think it should be fine to use lower versions, I'll add the option back in to the next version

Fyi got a message from Google that you will only be able to submit games with API over 28 from November.

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/113469#targetsdk

Apparently after November 1st any attempt to submit a APK below android 9 will be rejected.

@EdzUp - AGKV2 and Studio should both be good to go there as they were recently set to target API 28 back in August. Google's system may alert you to older builds of your games that may be on other branches (such as an old beta branch when you have already rolled out a current release build). So there can be some false alarms related to old builds of a game on other branches. If you export using recent AGKV2/Studio updates (08-01-2019 or later for AGKV2 and 08-05-2019 or later for AGK-Studio), those builds shouldn't prompt an alert.

In my game this function is used:
SetViewOffset
to move certain Sprites of the game ... and others fixed FixSpriteToScreen.
With the text elements I also fix them FixTextToScreen
Everything is OK.

It turns out that if SetViewOffset and Virtual buttons are used, they are affected ... it is a BUG introduced this latest update!
that is to say: SetViewOffset will move the coordinates of the Virtual buttons (the graphic change is not visible), but if the active button coordinates with SetViewOffset

using SetViewOffset should not affect the coordinates of active virtual buttons.
The virtual buttons only work well if I set SetViewOffset (0,0), the problem is that I don't want the Sprite content to move

Push notifications come through with a blank message when the app is open and focussed. Tested Android only.

To update on my last message. The blank notifications are coming through for users that are testing an alpha version of my app. So it's definitely a new bug with AppGameKit and not just happening on my device. They are blank if a push notification is sent why they have the app open and focussed. I believe in the past push notifications wouldn't come through at all if the app was open. I'd prefer that then blank notifications
