ALT The primary issues with accepting external content submissions are legal. There would need to be some kind of legal agreement set in place to establish the rules (as well as potential damages if those rules are breached) for the use of that content that all parties agree to. This would protect the developer from issues like the content submitter later reconsidering and deciding to sue for partial ownership of the game that their work was used in or for an injunction to stop sales of that gam

The headset will "likely" be called the Reality Pro, and will eschew iOS and MacOS in favor of its own xrOS operating system.

I found the cause. In our case, we are using a total of 7 BGMs for one game. I change this for each scene, but when changing the BGM, the existing BGM did not stop in some sections. I simply did Pause. In this case, the problem occurred because the BGM was not released. I solved it by stopping the BGM unconditionally when the scene is destroyed.

rudiHammad: auto someLambdaFunc = CallFunc::create( [=] () {. CCLOG("Byeeee"); } ); This is not a lambda expression, but rather a Cocos2d-x Action. You probably meant to do this: auto someLambdaFunc = [=] () -> void {. CCLOG("Byeeee"); }; More info here. CallFunc is used if you want to run some custom code in an action, such as via the Node::runAction() method, and has nothing to do with lambdas besides accepting one as a parameter.
