Sure, but are any of these new Apple Watch features worth me giving up my on-device blood oxygen readings?

I never saw this idea up on the whiteboard 🤨

Make Games Anywhere: Introducing Godot for iPhone and Xogot Lite Since the beginning of time, or at least since the launch of Xogot for iPad, developers have asked: “But can you put Godot on the iPhone?”

Today we are launching Xogot for iPhone, along with a free edition.

The iPhone has been a challenging process for shrinking the UI even further.

Check the details on @josephhill.bsky.social blog post:

Make Games Anywhere: Introducing Godot for iPhone and Xogot Lite Since the beginning of time, or at least since the launch of Xogot for iPad, developers have asked: “But can you put Godot on the iPhone?”

The latest Xogot update brings Godot to the iPhone!

...and we've introduced a new free tier for iPhone and iPad!

It's now even easier to get started building, testing, and running full Godot projects entirely on the go.
