v2.2.0 + v2.2.1 release: install web games as first-class Android citizens


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
