Google Play support currently broken

Post by Bob the Hamster »

So just a heads up, the OHRRPGCE's Android support is currently (mostly) broken for Google Play.

If you have an existing project in Google Play created before August 2021, and you are very careful NOT to opt in to "App Integrity" you may still be able to upload updated apk files.

For any new projects, you are currently blocked. With Android 12, Google switched to a new format called .aab (Android Application Bundle) which we don't support yet.

Sorry I did not realize this sooner, I know several people were looking forward to releasing android versions of their games.

For a temporary workaround, you might still have luck with Amazon's App store, and you can always put apk files in itch.io for people to sideload (Although that will still only work on Android 11 and older for now)

My Google Stadia doesn't work anymore either. Can you fix it?
