Authors of Plugins to Update The pnlControl has been removed. This means you'll have to edit the designer.cs file for your forms and remove the pnlControl references to use this. For example...

Looks good nomad. I recommend updating your version of ARC. It appears to be outdated.

Since the new release, I cannot set the size of my Mobile Interface. It used to be 800x480px but now is insists on making it 1308x788px. If I modify my background image to that size, it complains it's too large. What is happening here?

Even the help screens show the Mobile Interface size set to 800x480px. But the new release s/w will not save any size changes I make.

I keep moving your posts to the respective threads. This belongs in the topic of the release.

ensure you have updated to the most recent release. There have not been any changes to the mobile interface control in a few years, so everything is the same.

im unable to reproduce this issue you’re experiencing. To change the resolution of an app screen, select the configuration button on the mobile interface builder. There will be options for width and height on the right. Change those for the render dimensions.

ensure you have saved the project to the cloud. Then, update the project in your mobile device. The app won’t appear on the device without those two steps

Sorry but when I change the width and height as required, they are not saved. Try this please. Change the dimensions, click save, then save your project, or exit ARC and re-open your project. The dimensions will not have been saved. I have gone back to using release 19.05.08 where this works perfectly.

It's only when saving for you? to the cloud or to a local drive?
