Play: Create Better Apps 4+

Big Updates to Rive Support in Play!

All Rive files are now rendered natively! This gives a massive performance boost and also lets us render the latest effects in Rive, including vector feathering. You do not need to update existing Rive files within Play project—Play will do that automatically.

Other important updates for Rive in this release:
• You can now select an artboard in the uploaded Rive file from a drop down, rather than typing in the exact artboard name.
• Interactions in Rive carry over to Play! If you build a Rive that supports gestures, you’ll now be able to interact with it in Play. Previously, our interface with Rive was limited to inputs (where we could set information) and events (where we could listen). Now, we can actively interact with the Rive in Play.
• We’ve added new Rive Actions:
• Set Artboard: Sets a Rive file’s artboard and state machine through an interaction.
• Set Rive Input: We’ve deprecated the old action (the one without the artboard dropdown) and created a new version that includes the artboard dropdown. Existing interactions will remain as they are.
• Set Rive Volume & Set Rive Mute
• The From Animation event no longer requires an Event Type. We can now automatically detect the event type.
• We’ve added expressions to read current input values. We’ve added getInput(name) and setInput(name, value) to read and set input values from the expression editor.
• New Rive content modes including Fit Height, Fit Width, Layout, No Fit, Scale Down, Fit Height, Fit Width, Layout, No Fit, Scale Down.


UI Alert
You can now create native alerts in Play! Easily create an Alert or Action Sheet style native alert and display it based on user interaction. Within a native alert, you can customize action items or input text fields.
Simply use the new Alert trigger and actions in Interaction Mode!
• Alert triggers create a native alert with a title, message, and selected style. Alert trigger do not display an alert.
• Alert Actions create action items within an alert which can fire additional actions when tapped.
• Alert Text Field actions add an input text field to the alert, letting users enter data from within the alert’s UI.
• Show Alert actions display an alert created using an Alert trigger based on user interaction.


Other Improvements
• Code Export now supports Blur, Blend Mode, Shadows, and Borders.
• Viewers can now see prototypes on the macOS Simulator.
