The AppGameKit Player app on the iOS and Google Play stores is now using the AppGameKit Studio version of the player. This new version is backwards compatible with AppGameKit Classic and we have no plans to introduce any changes that will break this compatibility. However, this does mean that apps broadcast to these players may behave slightly differently to apps which you export from the AppGameKit Classic IDE. Firstly, apps running on the new iOS player will be running on Metal instead of OpenGL ES, so performance may be different between exported and broadcast apps. There may also be differences in app behaviour if one version has bugs that aren't present in the other.
