I’ve just downloaded Processing 4.0b2. Sometimes I get an error on startup or on switching to Android mode. In _Add Mode_ I can see “not compatible”

Does that mean I can’t run Processing 4 in Android mode?

It looks like this is indeed the case, you may have to go back to version 3.5.4

@bigboss97 **Update:** The latest processing4.0b8 supports the latest Android Mode for Processing4 version 4.5.0a4  
Use Contribution Manager to install the latest Android Mode.
