v2.2.0 + v2.2.1 release: install web games as first-class Android citizens
MitchA downloadable app for Android
What’s this?
(the last Mitch update that I plan to release, for the near future)
Mitch v2.2.0
- Allow “installing” web games as shortcuts to supported Android launchers
- Shortcuts will use the store page’s favicon for their icon
- Recently launched web games will now show up as “dynamic shortcuts” (accessible by long-pressing the Mitch app icon in supported Android launchers)
- (Finally) fix web games always stopping immediately when Mitch is in the background
- Embed web games in <
iframe
>s for better security and compatibility
- This should fix some issues with scrolling. If a game has broken scrolling, try launching it in a standard web browser, or try complaining to the game’s developer.
- Fix wrong splash screen color when launching web games sometimes
Mitch v2.2.1
I forgot to include these features in v2.2.0 so I pushed a quick patch:
- Long-pressing on a link in the built-in browser will now copy the URL to the clipboard
- Added a very questionable workaround for broken font loading in some web games
- WebView security improvements
