Hey Karel!
Cool that it’s finally coming to WOA!

  1. Question: if I stick with my device, I don’t have to do anything, correct?
  2. If I switch between my iPad and iPhone as before, do I have to do anything?
  3. Am I right in understanding that I have to share my account on Apple so that I can download it on Android?

:red_question_mark: If I stick with my device, I don’t have to do anything β€” correct?

:white_check_mark: Yes, correct.

If you continue playing on the same device and platform, no action is required.


:red_question_mark: If I switch between my iPad and iPhone as before, do I have to do anything?

:white_check_mark: No.

As long as both devices use the same Apple ID / Game Center account, your progress will continue to sync automatically.


:red_question_mark: Do I have to share my Apple account to download the game on Android?

:small_orange_diamond: It depends on what you want to do.

  • :cross_mark: For normal play: No. Apple Game Center and Android are separate platforms. You cannot use an Apple account to play on Android.
  • :white_check_mark: For a one-time platform transfer (when the feature is available): Your Apple ID is used only as a secure carrier to move your progress once to Android.After the transfer, the progress will be linked to Google Play Games.

:warning: This does not enable playing on both platforms at the same time, and it does not sync progress continuously.


:compass: Short Summary

  • :check_mark: Same device β†’ nothing to do
  • :check_mark: iPhone ↔ iPad (same Apple ID) β†’ nothing to do
  • :counterclockwise_arrows_button: iOS ↔ Android β†’ one-time transfer only (when available)
  • :cross_mark: No simultaneous cross-platform play

Hello, just a quick question.

All of my progress is on my Android account and I also have an Apple account on my Phone. Would it be possible to also have my progress on my apple account and my Android account at the same time? I would like to play on both my Android tablet and my IPhone but with the same progress. It’s probably me just being an idiot but I just don’t really understand the guide above and was just wondering if I could have the same progress on my IPhone and my Tablet.

If so, what steps do I take? , and if I do some progress on my IPhone for example, would the data transfer over to my Tablet?

Many thanks,

Calling this β€œcross platform profile support” in the release notes (at least on iOS) seems to be high risk of confusion, as this would probably imply for a lot of people that you’ve added a way to sync progress over both platforms (e.g. being able to play the same WoA profile on an iOS tablet and an Android phone). Frankly, I don’t think I’ll be alone in saying that was kind of what we were expecting/hoping for.

Instead, we appear to have got a one-time profile migration (as you call it here), with permanent consequences of locking out your original Apple/Google account from ever being able to migrate back.

Hello,

This function allows you to move your progress from one platform to another in case you switch devices (for example, from Android to iOS or vice versa). Until now, players had to start from the beginning when changing platforms. In some cases, we performed manual transfers, but this required significant effort on our side.

Please note that this feature is not intended for playing on both platforms simultaneously. A profile can be actively linked to either Google Play Games or Apple Game Center at a time, not both.

:warning: Version 3.4.1 – Profile Switching Issue

Hello everyone,

With the release of version 3.4.1, a small but important bug has appeared that affects some players.

:red_exclamation_mark: What is happening?

Currently, it may not be possible to switch between different game profiles on the same device .

This is not intended behavior .

:white_check_mark: How it is supposed to work

You should absolutely still be able to:

  • Use multiple game profiles on one device
  • Switch between them as needed

The only intended limitation remains:

One game profile = one carrier account

(Apple ID on iOS or Google Play Games account on Android)

There is no change to this policy β€” only the switching mechanism is currently affected due to this bug.

:hammer_and_wrench: What we are doing

We are already investigating the issue and working on a fix.

Our goal is to restore normal profile switching functionality as soon as possible.

:folded_hands: We apologize

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, especially for players who actively manage multiple profiles on one device.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we resolve this.

Fly safe,

Flyboys Games Team :airplane:

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Temporary Workaround – Switching Between Multiple Accounts on One Device

Some players reported that they are currently unable to switch between multiple accounts on the same device.

While we are working on a proper fix, the following temporary workaround has been confirmed to work.

:warning: Please note: This is not a permanent solution β€” it is only a temporary method until the update is released.


:compass: Workaround Steps

If you want to switch from Account A to Account B, please do the following:

:one: Sign out from your current platform profile

  • Sign out of Game Center (iOS) or Google Play Games (Android)

:two: Delete (uninstall) World of Airports from your device

:three: Sign in with the other platform profile

  • Log in to Game Center / Google Play Games using the second account

:four: Reinstall the game from the official store

:five: Launch the game

The game should now load the newly signed-in profile.


:white_check_mark: Confirmed Behavior

Players have confirmed that this method allows them to:

  • Play Account A
  • Reinstall and switch to Account B
  • Reinstall again and return to Account A

It is repetitive, but it works reliably until the issue is resolved.


:warning: Important Notes

  • Make sure each account is properly linked before uninstalling
  • Do not attempt to modify files or use unofficial tools
  • This method requires a full reinstall each time you switch

:rocket: Permanent Fix

We are already working on restoring normal multi-account switching without the need to reinstall.

Thank you for your patience while we resolve this.
