You can select your supported app formats and have separate uploads for each of them, making your app download for end users smaller and lighter.
M1 Plugin Support
As well as API30 support, we’ve also added native support on M1 Macs for the plugin LiveCode for FM needs to run.
40 Fixes and Enhancements
This release brings over 40 fixes and enhancements to the tool experience as well as to your compiled apps. Some stability issues on Big Sur have been addressed and tool usability improved.
