It would be an amazing thing if you had a play of my trivia game, Trivia: Brain Box Quiz!, and gave me your thoughts :)

It's free on iOS

@tescomobile Thanks Harry, will do

[Steven at Brain Box Games @BrainBoxMobile]

@tescomobile hi there, my partner has pac code ported from Tesco to Sky this morning, and calls from any network other than Sky fail. Is there a way to check the port from your end?

[Steven at Brain Box Games @BrainBoxMobile]

New game incoming...

@TechWhirlUlt Would you recommend turning off HDR?

[Steven at Brain Box Games @BrainBoxMobile]

@lawnjelly Built in masks would be amazing

Did you know that the @defold game engine has existed since 2009?
It's been free since 2016, and source available since 2020.

If you haven't heard of it before, please check it out!

@jhonnygoransson Looks amazing... thank you for sharing your code

[Steven at Brain Box Games @BrainBoxMobile]

@jhonnygoransson @defold @BalatroGame Quick and working code is nothing to be ashamed of 😆

[Steven at Brain Box Games @BrainBoxMobile]

@aaronfranke7 @Akien Respectfully, I'm new to Godot and didn't know how to report a bug.
Didn't expect a fix in a day, just wanted to make sure it was reported as iOS plug-ins will prove to be more and more important.

[Steven at Brain Box Games @BrainBoxMobile]

I've made @Akien aware of a bug which stops iOS builds with plug-ins working with Xcode 15, but where else should I report it? I think it's quite a big issue! #GodotEngine

[Steven at Brain Box Games @BrainBoxMobile]

@Akien @Akien Sorry to trouble you again, but I think I have confirmed this with a blank project which build for iOS fine. Added https://t.co/n9XcCrYxZo and linking won't work with numerous reference errors - don't know how to report this but I'm sure others will run in to this :)

[Steven at Brain Box Games @BrainBoxMobile]

@Akien Hey there, I'm using Godot 4.1.2 (latest export templates) with Xcode 15 on Mac Mini Silicon, and can't build for iOS with any plugins enabled. An ld error, but not classic, says normal at the end of the error message. Any ideas please?

[Steven at Brain Box Games @BrainBoxMobile]

Is anybody able to build for iOS with Godot 4.1.2 (latest export templates), Xcode 15, and any plugins enabled?

No plugins and it builds fine.

Plugins enabled and ld errors in console (says normal and not classic)

Does everybody have those days when you think everybody else is doing much better than you are?
