Found a bug on Android (seemed to have been there in previous version as well).

I just published my game (Case Open) and on both my phone and my pad the following happens on both my samsung phone and my pad:

1. Go into the app
2. Play a level
3. Use the Exit button (right top)
4. Use Quit in the main menu to exit the program
5. This invokes the Tier1 End command.
6. The program closes
7. Try to start the program again, by clicking it's icon. (it may actually work ones)
8. You get a blakc flash and it returns back to the android screen

To start it again I have to go into the "SWITCH APPS" menu and close the app from there.
Trying to switch to it from there doesn't work either.

After I close it from the switch app menu, I can start it again by pressing the icon for the app.

This is unacceptable for my customers, they will not play the game this way.
The iOS version does NOT have this problem, it closes fine.

Other Apps I download from the Appstore work fine after quitting thhem and restarting, si it definitely seems an AppGameKit Android issue.

Help is much appreciated, because I cannot publish my app this way. And I assume others will have the same issue.
Thanks,
James

Abiz, that has indeed been reported and is awaiting a fix. It appears to be the same problem causing apps set to the background to not be able to restart/resume. And since apps never actually shut down with 'end', they can't be restarted again either. Here is the report: https://github.com/TheGameCreators/AGK-Studio/issues/738

Feel free to add your results and steps to duplicate to that GitHub post.

Just to let you know that I've uploaded a new Mac version (2020.11.12b) that fixes a crash in exported iOS apps if they try to make a network connection without having networking permissions.

I cant say problems, but a question, i like appgamekit, i have the non-visual version and i dont really need the whole visual bru-ha . However, i was wondering : is there any other reason to upgrade like improved performance or something . I read something about vulkan introducing raytracing too, will that be included somewhere in '21/'22 ? . If i get improved performance and it still runs on linux i might seriously consider to buy it sometime next year (im a broke bum after all i have to consider these things)
thanks in advance
