Technologies used in this game:

+ Gideros, of course

+ Chartboost
+ Fortumo
+ InMobi LTVP
+ And our self-made "Installer", which will pull the most appropriate data for a specific resolution from the server (thus avoiding redundant data for user)

CongoRatz!

fxone · June 2013

big congrats of course, but finally I would like to play in Game42

( Look at this report from your game [fail to install]:

Version: 100
Resolution: 320x240

oooppsss...

Actually we don't support small screen yet. Don't know why we made a mistake for the filter.

Thanks a lot for the report @fxone (and sorry that we can't make you happy yet)
Going to re-upload the correct build...

atilim · June 2013

yay! congorats!

mysps · June 2013

hmm.. says not available in my country?

USA not available really?

phongtt · June 2013

Hi @mysps. Unfortunately it is not available for US yet

This is a drawback of Forumto's carrier billing service. They need time to approve for some countries such as USA, China, South Korea,...

I hope I cann make it in a few weeks

phongtt · June 2013

Hi guys,
I'm encountering a serious issue with screen size filtering.
Seems android:smallScreens=false doesn't have any effect.

how to solve this??

mysps · June 2013

Ah ok. Thats a pity for such a great game that you have on iOS.

Hopefully they will resolve it asap!

fxone · June 2013

@phongtt what is your "android:targetSdkVersion" in AndroidManifest.xml? If at least Android 3.2 (13), then we have an answer. According to their documentation: "Beginning with Android 3.2 (API level 13), the above size groups are deprecated and you should instead use the sw<N>dp configuration qualifier " More: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

atilim · June 2013

@fxone oh.. I was also wondering what are these sw<N>dp files when I create a new project on Eclipse.

Rickyngk · June 2013

It's solved, my bad, two reasons:
1. Duplicated supports-screens tag
2. Placed in wrong position, it MUST BE child of manifest, not application

cheer !

phongtt · June 2013

@fxone: we'll try to support your device in next update

hgvyas123 · June 2013

wow CongoRatz

>-

phongtt · June 2013

Small screen device is now supported \m/

Still have some other works before submitting the update

fxone · June 2013

@phongtt if you mean version 1.0.1 it's not available for my device

FYIO

phongtt · June 2013

Ah no, sorry for the confusion. That quick update was actually to correctly remove support for small screen device :P

The real update which supports small screen is in progress, not submitted yet.

phongtt · July 2013

Version 1.0.2 has been live with small screen support & zoom feature for Caro grid.
(For Ads we rotate among Chartboost, InMobi, and Heyzap)

@fxone: I hope now you can enjoy it on your phone

fxone · July 2013

@phongtt Alert! After downloading data occurs "force close" error. I've just sent report to your developer console.. Restart the game causes this same.
[edit:] Probably you got 'nil', trying to get device model etc. Some Android's methods are not available for Froyo system. It's only suggestion.

hgvyas123 · July 2013

@fxone @phongtt

i had also downloaded this new version and game works for me

phongtt · July 2013

@fxone looks like your device is Android 2.2 right?

fxone · July 2013

@fxone looks like your device is Android 2.2 right?

@phongtt that's correct :-B

phongtt · July 2013

Thanks a lot @fxone.

We've just fixed the crash issue your reported and confirmed it with https://www.manymo.com

fxone · July 2013

@phongtt can you explain this explode of downloads on Game 42 at Google Play store :

?
I was observing your app last week: it was between 100-500 downloads. After this weekend it looks amazing

phongtt · July 2013

@fxone
It's the promotion from AppGratis

Howerver, we got big trouble during that time, resulting in a lot of 1-star ratings due to false virus alert from Avast (and some other antivirus programs) and due to the game had too many permissons.

I and my pal @ricky_ngk had to stay almost over night to fix the issue, cleaning up the redundant permissons, as well as removing Fortumo, exchanging emails with some kind customers interesting in the game but questioning about the permissons, chatting with @Atilim, etc. After that the situation has been better, most new users rate it 4 or 5 stars.

Big lesson learned

Nascode · July 2013

@phongtt did you remove fortumo for lowering permission required? What permissions you left on latest release?

Would like to know your complete experience on this

Congrats for getting many downloads! Just curious, is AppGratis for iOS available again?

phongtt · July 2013

@Nascode
You can see the permissions here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.guava7.game42

In fact the reason was due to Fortumo using "telephony" feature of Android API in order to parse the result of the transaction via SMS, which is sensitive to antivirus programs.
Removing Fortumo means no "Read/Receive SMS" permission.
We also removed GPS permission which incidentally has by default by Gideros (geo-location functions, as @atilim said)

For iOS, AppGratis now only communicates free apps via email newsletter.

phongtt · July 2013

Oh, btw, Google Play has a new interface today!

phongtt · July 2013

I've just got a mail from Fortumo confirming that they've sorted things out with Avast and it should be Ok now. I may re-add Fortumo but I'll be careful this time.

Nascode · July 2013

@phongtt thanks for sharing your experience

phongtt · September 2013
