Hello again everyone! I know there have been some suggestions from you guys for us to stop work on the Windows Creator and I really don’t think that’ll happen. I would like to thank you guys again for all your patience, you guys are awesome! Now on to our current state:
I’ve seen some issues being had with Game Center (games not being recognized) as well as the “Request Purchase Data” behavior causing crashes. We’ve come to the conclusion that these are being caused on Apple's side. There are some threads open in the Apple dev forums on the subject about the Game Center issue (check out the end of this thread: https://devforums.apple.com/thread/241761?start=50&tstart=0). The issue with the “Request Purchase Data” behavior causing crashes is both ours and Apple’s fault. The crash is due to how we handle receiving null data for the price and name values. We’re working on a fix for the crashes that should be coming out in the near future, but this won’t fix the issue of Apple sending us null values in the first place.
Release 12 for Windows users. (This is the Windows version of Mac creators’ release 0.12.10) We’re still working hard on getting Windows Creator up to date with our Mac Creator. One such bug that’s currently being looked at is: Creator will crash if you stop the Viewer on an iOS device then click "Back To Editor"
Release 0.13.0. for Mac users. (The next big release for Macs) Work is coming along on this. I know everyone is excited for this release, but it’s still a little ways out. For those who don’t know, a couple of the major additions that will come with release 13 are Facebook integration and the new rendering system. It’s my understanding that our first pass at Facebook integration will include being able to post to walls (images, text, and even URLs). The new rendering system should bring improved performance and memory usage with it!
New nightly build for Mac. We’re still working on getting a nightly build through our new build system, and whenever we get that worked out we’ll be releasing a nightly build for you guys to mess around with!
New marketplace. Good progress has been made here with one major feature still being worked on. Our web guys are also working on a new homepage!
