This is done by providing API access to app specific directories which don't have any limitations and allows us to bump the target sdk version to 30.
In addition, we're also bumping the min sdk version to 19 as version 18 is no longer supported by Google Play Services and only account of 0.3% of Android devices.
It can be turned off in the export preset with `package/classify_as_game`.
Upstream definition: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element#isGame
> `android:isGame`
>
> Whether or not the application is a game. The system may group together

Also fixes replacing `android:allowBackup` in custom builds.
In addition, add support for scaling and applying filter to the splash screen on Android.
One limitation of the api being used is that the splash screen aspect ratio is not maintained when it's scaled up.
This is what GitHub Actions now provide and they removed the previous 21.3.6528147.
A bit annoying to have our hand forced this way but it's still 21.x so should be good
to upgrade.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
The issue was caused by PR #36906 which changes prevented the generated shared libraries from being stripped.
Since the change is only needed for development (debugging) purposes, it's commented out by default.
With the NDK installed locally, gradle plugin 3.6.0 seems to enforce
a specific older NDK version, and will fail building if you don't have
it installed with:
```
No version of NDK matched the requested version 20.0.5594570.
Versions available locally: 21.0.6113669
```
Upstream issue: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/12440
- update gradle plugins versions
- add formatting rules for AndroidManifest and gradle build files
- cleanup java_godot_lib_jni
Note: logic was mostly moved around and no new logic/functionality was added.
Due to the port to Vulkan and complete redesign of the rendering backend,
the `drivers/gles3` code is no longer usable in this state and is not
planned to be ported to the new architecture.
The GLES2 backend is kept (while still disabled and non-working) as it
will eventually be ported to serve as the low-end renderer for Godot 4.0.
Some GLES3 features might be selectively ported to the updated GLES2
backend if there's a need for them, and extensions we can use for that.
So long, OpenGL driver bugs!
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
A better fix would be to make Godot's export code properly parse the
tag over multiple lines (and maybe even use XMLParser instead of doing
it ad-hoc?).
As for the APK names, we could alternatively pick the first .apk found
in the `debug` and `release` folders without expecting a specific name.
Fixes#32414.
The application module `app` serves double duties of providing the prebuilt Godot binaries ('android_debug.apk', 'android_release.apk') and the Godot custom build template ('android_source.zip').
