"News" not working on Google Play only

[Imperf3kt]

I make use of renpy news, which I may soon replace with the renpy.fetch feature once I get a chance to play around with it.

I noticed today that on the Google Play version of my project, this feature is simply not working.
The button for news appears but it does nothing when I tap on it. It also does not have any text on it, though I'm unsure if that is related.
I make the button like this

Code: Select all

if not renpy.emscripten:
    imagebutton:
        alt "news"
        auto "gui/buttons/default_%s.png"
        hover_foreground Text(_("News"), xalign=0.5, yalign=1.0, size=22)
        idle_foreground Text(_("News"), xalign=0.5, yalign=1.0, size=22)
        action ShowNews()

This works fine on PC builds and regular Android apks, it's just specifically the Google Play version that doesn't work.

Does the Google Play bundle behave differently or have I somehow made an error in implementing it?
