3.3.0 Beta

I posted a new update to the beta channel on google play and it should slowly roll out over the next few days.  3.3.x will mostly just focus on bug fixes.  Once updating the app, you will notice a new prompt on startup asking to grant the "manage external storage" permission.  This is now required for GMMP to run.  I did a full write up on the reasoning behind this permission here.  The plan for 3.3.x is to stay in beta for a while (and only on google play), but there should be more regular updates to it.

Changelog:

3.3.0 (2022/03/15):

New:

  • Updated target sdk to Android 12
  • Updated ffmpeg to 5.0
  • Updated other dependencies
  • Added MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and prompt for android 11+ (required for all of gmmp's functionality to work)
  • Optimized x86 and x86_64 ffmpeg builds
  • Updated translations

3.4.0

Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
