A new version is available on Steam and TGC servers. Changes -

- Changed Java detection on Windows
- Updated command list for the parser due to a flaw in the previous build
- Fixed inability to export HTML5

- Fixed a crash on iOS when attempting to restore purchases
- Updated Android export to enable exporting to an App Bundle for Google Play
- The Java Development Kit (JDK) must now be installed prior to exporting an APK or App Bundle
- APKs are now signed with both V1 and V2 signatures to support future versions of Android
- Fixed Google Service App ID field in Android Export dialog being limited to 12 characters
- Fixed array FromJSON() crashing when converting an empty string into an integer or float
- Fixed a problem with the print command not dealing with more than 20 digits in a float. Previously anything greater than this would cause a silent crash.
- Fixed a crash when using SetMusicLoopTimesOGG.
- Added a new find feature for unsorted arrays called IndexOf.
- SetEditBoxTextSize command reference updated.
- Updated command reference for Len and ByteLen.

APK, AAB and HTML exports working fine on WIN10; thanks for the update.

re: "Changed Java detection on Windows", does this mean we shouldn't have to manually set the Path to "\jdk-17\bin" as below?

and, WILL there be AAB/APK export for non-WIN Classic users at some point?

otherwise, for those who weren't following the Studio thread(s) regarding JDK set-up (if still necessary):
  • Ensure the latest Java Development Kit is installed (currently JDK 17)
  • Add JDK bin folder to your Path in Environment Variables (User)
    >> Right-Click on "This PC" > Right-Click "Properties" > Advanced System Settings > [Advanced] Environment Variables (lower right) > select PATH then EDIT and add NEW (full) path to bin folder (OK when complete)
    >> Example: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17\bin"
  • Restart System (or Log Out & back in)
  • Export APK or AAB

The note about Java was a reference to a fix for the issue for the build that didn't get released in September. In the future we need to add a new field to the export dialog to allow people to manually set the JDK path in the event it isn't detected.

Linux and Mac users can export APKs. We ran into some issues when dealing AABs on those platforms. Hopefully we can solve before too long.

After installing this version (Steam & TGC) McAfee flagged up a virus, AGKCompiler.exe RealProtect - LS!fad062c3e0ef.

McAfee quarantines the AGKCompiler.exe when I attempt to compile a program.

I've never had any issues with any other version of Classic or the latest version of Studio.

@Zaxxan

Is the version of that file in the update code signed? It may not be properly code signed like previous versions were, so some antivirus programs that rely on pattern matches and/or popularity may flag it as a false positive. You can either make an exception in your A/V program or wait until TGC code signs it and provides an update.

@Orvillian can you please confirm that this app has been signed correctly and is virus free. I am sticking with the June update for now.

I have signed the IDE. I'll check in with Paul as to why the anti virus might suggest a problem.

Again, the file in question is 'AGKCompiler.exe' (located in the \AGK2\Tier1\Compiler folder), it is not the IDE. I checked with the latest update for Classic and 'AGKCompiler.exe' is indeed not code signed while previous versions were. So antivirus programs that rely on pattern matches and/or popularity may flag it as a false positive. Once it is code signed like previous versions, it should be fine. Additionally, the 'AGKBroadcaster.exe' file is also not code signed in the latest release like previous versions were.

I still can't get this to export to AAB. I downloaded the 10-11-2021a version.I have updated JDK and made sure my paths were correct.

I'm using Tier 1. I can export to APK but it fails for AAB. I get a message box saying "Failed to sign APK, is your keystore password correct." I try to generate a new key and program fails again. I had to roll back to a previous version to generate the key in order to make an APK file. Program fails and exits when trying to read the key for AAB files

@Orvillian, I can't broadcast with this new release of Classic. The data transfers OK but the the app quits/crashes with no error. Studio works OK with the new player. Can you please fix this ASAP as I don't want to wait 3 months for a fix as this is a show stopper for me.

sorry about that. i was looking at the IDE signature


@zaxxan,

since you have studio, i've sideloaded the player that ships with it (09/30/21) onto my android phone and it appears to be broadcasting fine from classic (and studio).

@Virtual Nomad, I have a test version of AGKBroadcaster which works with the playstore version of AGKplayer and now and have the player working with the Classic vetsion

For some reason the AGKplayers that are part of the AppGameKit installation will not install on my phone even though I have 'install from unknown source' selected.

.IndexOf() was added in Studio's V2021.09.20
Quote: "Added a new find feature for unsorted arrays called IndexOf.
An example of it use would be: index = array.IndexOf ( 123 ) – so index will be assigned the index of the array if it can find the value 123, otherwise it will be -1"

aka:

Syntax:
index = MyArray.IndexOf ( Value )

Result:
if Value found, will return first Index of MyArray containing Value, else returns -1

it's obviously slower than sorted arrays and .Find()

and, both could use expanded functionality.

otherwise, i haven't seen any test results of .IndexOf vs something like:

MM, is that crashing under the 2021.10.19 player found on your HD @ ...\App Game Kit 2\Players\Android?

otherwise, making sure that you've updated Classic to 2021.10.19 where this thread is re: the previous version (2021.10.11).
