The last option is the lazy / easier way. But may not fix the issue if the problem is with something else in your project throwing the Gradle version off

[lilac herald]

i've now tried both solutions combined, it doesn't work, im getting this error:

pls dont ignore

please let me know if you're still here trying to help me

I've posted a stackoverflow question for my problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74745443/gradle-error-when-building-unity-project-for-android

[brazen birch]

Sorry, busy day over here. Stack overflow is the best place. The error is the same, for some reason Gradle isn't installing the SDK tools you need. It's not an easy one to explain over discord

Gradle errors are always fun and cryptic at times. To make it worse, some versions of unity ship with broken Gradle installs. So it can be quite frustrating until you get an abnormal amount of experience with gradle

[lilac herald]

i get that, is there any way i can fix the correct gradle install (maybe by reinstalling unity or by installing different version)?

[brazen birch]

Yeah, a few sections up, folks are tackling the same problem. You can customize a Gradle properties file to specify the settings. Or manually run commands to install the missing SDK to Gradle. But it's just hard to explain over discord

[lilac herald]

btw, do u think i can delete this folder

[brazen birch]

It's one of those things that takes a few seconds in person but a lot of text online

[lilac herald]

yes, but there were no answers in the stackoverflow questions

[brazen birch]

No I mean someone had a very similar problem in here yesterday in the #📱┃mobile chat

[lilac herald]

this is maybe a lot to ask, but can you try using teamviewer to fix my problem?

[lilac herald]

oh k

[lilac herald]

or just like any way that its easier for you to explain to me?

[lilac herald]

if you tell me exactly what to do, i could probably do it

[sly lark]

Hey everyone, getting this weird error when I try to build:
(21,70): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'AndroidExactSchedulingOption' does not exist in the namespace 'Unity.Notifications' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
(21,9): error CS0103: The name 'NotificationSettings' does not exist in the current context

But I am not sure why:

I am building for android using this API:

[lilac herald]

if you're still here, pls explain to me your solution

if you have time ofc

[tired lily]

you don't have the right version of the unity notifications package, based on the docs you need 2.1+

[sly lark]

I think its solved, just need to test now and see 🤞

[timber crown]

Got a real weird one here: I own a Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 6a. I have a tiny project that runs at 240fps on my PC and 60fps on the Pixel 3 but when I put it on the Pixel 6a, it runs at 15fps. I've tried setting Application.targetFrameRate to 240 and 60, didn't fix it.

Two oddities I've noticed in profiling: 1 - The game actually runs faster when I'm tapping the screen and interacting. Once I stop, it slows down again. 2 - When I hit the multitask button to change active application, it begins running at 60fps.

I can provide profiler information if anyone thinks it'll help them diagnose it.

any help?

im trying to add ads to my game using mediation but it doesnt seem to load

[heavy wraith]

Hey folks. I am developing in Unity 2022.2 in Windows for an iOS target, move over the folder to my Mac, and compile in XCode and deploy. But this workflow only works about 70% of the time. For reasons I cannot explain, sometimes the Windows build process adds an IL2CppOutputProject in the folder, and then XCode barfs in its build process with unhelpful error codes. The builds that succeed are when Unity does not make this folder. I cannot determine why, as the build options are rather straight forward. Figured I'd ask and see if anyone had ideas?

[wild spruce]

did u like sync ur unity hub with ur dashboard? prolly bcuz of that

[crystal coral]

I have logged in in unity hub, It says my game IDs in project settings but whenever i try to open the code editor its completely empty

[wild spruce]

can u send ss , that might help

[crystal coral]

which part exactly do you need ss at? project settings?

[wild spruce]

yea

[crystal coral]

alright am loading the project

[wild spruce]

oki

[wild spruce]

did u try logging in , in the services section , in project settings

i had similar issue with my game when adding ads , that helped me out , idk much more than that though , but with the ss provided , i am sure others can probably help u out

[crystal coral]

i logged in an selected the organisation aswell

[wild spruce]

okioki

[crystal coral]

@wild spruce this is the ads section and the error am getting

[wild spruce]

i might be wrong but , u kinda dont need to touch the ads section if u are using mediation , check the mediation window if everything is looking oki there

[jagged mesa]

Doesn't look like you installed the Ads package...

You have to hit the install button...

[crystal coral]

I've got Advertisments with mediation from package manager

[crystal coral]

Ill send you a screenshot once I get on it

[jagged mesa]

I may have to look at it tomorrow after I get up...

[crystal coral]

@wild spruce @jagged mesa

[wild spruce]

if u are not using admob for this game , try uninstalling it once , the warning should probably go

[wild spruce]

the game id the game is asking for might be the one for admob

[crystal coral]

these are my settings from the dashboard

eh ill just get rid of mediation

doesnt seem to work with me

[wild spruce]

okioki , sorry i couldnt help much , a noob myself

[crystal coral]

its alright i think my project is cursed haha

but hey AdMob works fine now

aside from mediation

Hi maybe this is the right place to ask. Does anyone here know how to go about creating something like prisma 3d app?

[brazen birch]

I had to google what it is, but it wouldn't be too hard to replicate technically just a lot of time to duplicate the feature set.

There are probably open source alternatives for Unity you can download to get started with

We've built a few modelers and sculpters for VR. It's mostly just time consuming getting good UX the first few times around.

Something like this has the base functionality

https://github.com/createthis/mesh_maker_vr

[wild spruce]

How do u guys save your level progress , like i wanna save which levels are unlocked , which are completed so on .
Should i use multiple dictionaries<string,bool> or something else , really need help figuring this out

[brazen birch]

@wild spruce I usually have 4 classes. A master data class for loading/saving serialized files

It has 3 sub classes, User Settings and Session data.

Session data resets automaticslly every launch (it tracks how many enemies you killed this session for example)

Settings data is for all users and levels, contains things like volume. It auto loads and saves on launch.

User data is what stores all the individual achievements and level things for that specific save game. It is manually loaded when they select a game save slot.

In your case, I'd probably store a list of Levels and their Success stats in the UserData. That way you can create multiple save games and users. I personally wouldn't use a dictionary, I'd use a custom class as a LevelDescriptor, with the LevelName as probably an enumerator. This way you can track more such as coins collected, and other metadata

[uncut oak]

That's awesome, thank you!

[wild spruce]

Thanks a ton , really

[eternal notch]

Can anyone tell me what to do i am getting this error while uploading the abb file on playstore

Anomalous Permission Usage
Your app is requesting permissions which are used by less than 1% of functionally similar apps:

android.permission.GET_TASKS
Users prefer apps that request fewer permissions, and requesting unnecessary permissions can affect your app's visibility on the Play Store. If these permissions aren't necessary, you may be able to use alternative methods in your app and request fewer permissions. If they are, we recommend providing an explanation to users of why you need the permissions.

Note: This guidance is based on a comparison with functionally similar apps, which change over time as new apps get published and existing apps change behaviour. Therefore the warning may change even if you don't change your permission usage.

[analog plover]

It's a warning, not an error

[tired lily]

why are you requesting that permission? remove it from your manifest

[eternal notch]

i cant find the permission in my manifest

i searched entire solution there is nothing like android.permission.GET_TASKS

[tired lily]

do you have any third party package that might be adding it? export to an android project and see what the merged manifest looks like

[eternal notch]

yeah in android studio i was able to see the permission

but i think i can edit from there

cant*

[tired lily]

you can't, but now you have confirmation that it's being added. Are you sure you don't have a postprocessing script somewhere? and it's not in a custom android manifest?

[eternal notch]

let me check

cant find anything

i checked all the manifest file present in the project and there is nothing

[tired lily]

then there is a postprocessing script somewhere editing it when you build

[eternal notch]

what is postprocessing script?

[tired lily]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Android.IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Callbacks.PostProcessBuildAttribute.html

[eternal notch]

so i found the scripts tried to comment out the code written on in and still the same case

[tired lily]

did you do a clean build to the new folder? Maybe it is being added in more than one place

Why do you have scripts adding this permission in the first place, though?

[eternal notch]

Not sure i am just updating the existing project

[eternal notch]

Will it create any problem because its submitted and after that its showing this

[analog plover]

The warning tells you what the consequences are

[eternal notch]

So i have a static scene (like the level is made and the camera is static on the scene) as i see that the different android phone have different resolution so how i can i make that scene dynamic?

so when i play my game in the editor the camera is correctly displayng but when i export it to my phone, its like shrinks the view horizontally so to keep the resolution to the correct aspect ratio

basicly how do i make it respect the width and change only the height

it respects theheight and changes the width

[fallen compass]

Use the device simulator instead of the game view

[tender summit]

i want it to simply respect the horizontal and change only the vertical

people with all kind of aspect ratios will play it

so im asking just to make it flexible on one axis

[fallen compass]

What's actually the issue... the UI?

[tender summit]

no

the view

[fallen compass]

You should be using the device simulator for mobile regardless

Maybe, and bear with me here... you should share screenshots of the issue 🤔

[tender summit]

i dont want to show the game, so let me put it simple

imagine a sphere, on PC the sphere perfectly fits in the view,

[fallen compass]

I'm out then

[tender summit]

on my phone the sides of the sphere are cut from the view

i think thats very simple explanation

you have to understand that i dont want to share the idea

[fallen compass]

no one is going to care enough to steel your idea

[tender summit]

well sure but still

[waxen blaze]

is it possible for variables to be tampered when it is installed on android ?

[brazen birch]

It sounds like you just want to move the cameras depth manually based on the screen horizontal. There are a lot of ways to do that, but that's the quickest way to do what I think you want to do. Pure guess though as no real info or context was shared.

You probably want
Screen.width and transform.position.

And simply push the camera back on the Z axis, multiplied by the screen width/height ratio (to counteract the Unity view scaling) and multiplied by the perfect test screen width divided by the actual screen width (device difference)

Or buy this maybe

Does anyone know how to get touch input without generating garbage collections?

I get this spikes when tapping the screen, with also the GC Allocs

(I've also tried using a panel covering the screen as a button)

[polar leaf]

I'm getting an odd crash on some Android devices, anyone has an idea what the cause might be?

[sleek eagle]

Usually a graphics issue
Which unity version?
Which render pipeline?
OpenGL or Vulkan?

[sleek eagle]

I think its the GetTouch(0) part. No way around it. Maybe with the new input system, but not sure.
400B of garbage is nothing to worry about tho

[wise lily]

Hi, my game is lagging alot on the android platform because of the high resolution, what can be done to get all the resolutions suitable for the device so the player can choose from it? I tried (Resolution[] resolutions;) but it's getting the current resolution only, thanks.

[sleek eagle]

In URP you can use the render scale to do this, while keeping UI at the proper resolution

[fallen compass]

Have you profiled it to be sure that it's the resolution?

[sleek eagle]

And that yeah

Probably better ways to look then just resolution

[wise lily]

Oh thanks, I look into that, but I mean what resolutions should I add for the players to choose from? SD, HD, and FHD? For example these definitions will not look well on a tablet, so how can I get the best resolutions for the current device? Or should I list all the possible resolutions? Thanks

[wise lily]

Yes it's lagging even on simple main menu scene with just buttons.

[fallen compass]

ok.. and _what did the profiler show _??

[wise lily]

Maybe I'm missing something, I'm new to the profiler and optimization

[fallen compass]

I don't yet understand the timeline view very well.. if you click this you can change it to the raw something, which IMO is clearer to understand

Also, if you click on the rendering section, that will give some details down below that might be useful to you

[wise lily]

That's the scene it has nothing in the Update only buttons which execute simple functions, It's running on a Samsung Galaxy s8 with 1440 x 2960

[sleek eagle]

Then it's not a resolution issue. Do you use urp?
If so, is maybe bloom and ssao are on?

@wise lily

[wise lily]

Yes I'm using URP, but in this scene there is no post-processing applied and it's lagging

[sleek eagle]

Check the urp asset and urp renderer

Probably SSAO is on

[wise lily]

Thanks!! It's a lot faster, I didn't know that SSAO needs a lot of power

It's like 20 times faster!

[sleek eagle]

Yepp

[sleek eagle]

It sucks on android sadly

I complained already but it won't be exclused in balanced sadly

[wise lily]

Yes I'm using it for imported 3d models on runtime it definitely makes things better.

[wise lily]

I'm checking the asset store there is a bunch of SSAO effect may be made better for android

[polar leaf]

OpenGL, but I don't think this is a graphics issue.
The crash only happens after we introduced some audio related features using NativeAudio, and the stacktrace points to audio related things too.

For native list with temp allocator, is it better to create it again or clear it?
For example for a list with 100,000 members

[ashen sonnet]

can Unity build on any older android version or is it limited? I would for example want to build on Android 6 with unity 2021

[sleek eagle]

You cannot build for lower than the lowest API in the player settings afaik

Less then 0.5% is on android 6 iirc

[sleek eagle]

Well, as it says, are the video shaders included?

omg yes it this hahaha, anyways thanks

so this means I can build for Android 5.1 at its lowest?

[magic agate]

Hi all, does anyone in here have experience in writing plugins, or java code into the plugins folder for starting activities etc?

[tired lily]

better to just ask your question

[magic agate]

Hi all, im somewhat confused by how we setup activities in Unity. I am using the direct java code in the plugin folder. My understanding is

• extend UnityPlayerActivity (eg myActivity extends UnityPlayerActivity) , setup your main activity in the manifest to point to this newly extended activity.
• In this java class you can add your own methods and it allow you to invoke startActivityForResult and be able to deal with those results.
• Allows me to be a little smarter and call out to other activities.

With multiple activities I want to invoke, I am am confused with the steps on having this work and then get me back to Unity.

• Ideally I would like each activity in it's own java file.
• When it's like this, I suspect I can then launch each one from the main extended activity (launch from myActivity) eg:

public static void NewActivityLauncher(Activity activity)
{      
    Intent myIntent = new Intent(activity, NewActivity.class);
    activity.startActivity(myIntent);
}

So now, from that additional activity I am say popping up a dialog and hopefully getting the results and going back to Unity.

• Is this the right way to do multiple activities in Unity?
• Once I launch the extra activity, how could I get myActivity to be fed the results and go back into untiy? Is the process more like activity.startActivityForResult(myIntent) , override onActivityResult in myActivity and then return back to Unity (or call Unity to run some method and pass back the results) ?
• Also, if I passed in additional arguement to NewActivityLauncher, how would I pass them to the NewActivity class when starting the activity?

[tender summit]

[solid quest]

pleas help me

[tired lily]

this all sounds fine to me. You can put your java files directly into Unity and they'll be included in your android studio project (ex: Plugins/Android/[reverse-com]/YourActivity.java). Interop with Unity can be done with https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AndroidJavaObject.html and https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AndroidJavaProxy.html. You may need to put any resources you need (layout etc) into a .androidlib under Plugins for your new activities

This refers to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9170832/list-of-java-class-file-format-major-version-numbers Unity 2021.3 uses JDK 8, you need Unity version which targets JDK 11, which currently is only supported by Unity 2022.2.

[fathom seal]

Imagine me, I have an Issue that has taken me 20+ hours and made no progress at all

If anyone wants to help here it is (Is a 2d platformer), any single movement in my android build has a stutter each 3 - 4 seconds but it can be without it for ~15 seconds it happens in a even a new project, It is not exclusive to physics. I have an fps counter and it seems pretty stable 58-60 fps. A square moving by translate using deltaTime, and you can see the "micro jumps". With the player moving using physics same, it is even more visible because of the camera.

Is the kind of thing "You just have to check this box'' solution but I'm pretty sure it is not that simple, I've tried almost everything inside my comprehension and people's internet comments

so if anyone has had this issue and solved it please, pleaseeee help

Thanks love to everyone

I've tested it on PC and some android devices it has only happened on those

[tired lily]

What does the profiler show you?

At first glance it sounds like GC to me

[fathom seal]

You have no idea what just happened

[fathom seal]

What is GC

[tired lily]

garbage collection

[forest tide]

My game fps is so low on mobile, like 25~40 frames with drops . what to do ? 😦

[sleek eagle]

Run the profiler @forest tide

[forest tide]

How i would know what makes fps low when the game is on mobile

It does run good in editor

[sleek eagle]

PCs are faster than phones generally and phones have tiled GPUs

Run the profiler to get more insight and apply optimization techniques and get the settings right

Without a lot of info or access to the project it's almost impossible to help with performance for an outsider of the project

[forest tide]

I'm making an infinite runner game like , so i don't think that i can use occlusion culling or baking light so i'm left with realtime lighting and using LOD alongside with combine meshes

[sleek eagle]

Check out dynamic batching, atlassing, if you use urp use simple lit (or mobile shaders if you use built in), etc.
Many more things to do!

[forest tide]

Dynamic batching is to check the static box right? if so then i already did that alongside with using simple lit shader except some other materials

[sleek eagle]

Woah no, turn off static if something moves

That's for static (stationary) objects

[forest tide]

No i doesn't .

[sleek eagle]

Huh?

Read up on static batching and dynamic batching

If something moves, use dynamic

[tired lily]

yes, you can bake light even on prefab and use it on non stationary (moving) objects.

Hi guys, can someone please help me make my swipe movement smoother? I'm trying to do it like in this game to move the pole: https://youtube.com/shorts/8Myh92qRXJs?feature=share

Here is my code: https://hatebin.com/flcdygqtpq

[nova imp]

why doesn't it work?

PlayerSettings.SetIl2CppCompilerConfiguration(BuildTargetGroup.Android, Il2CppCompilerConfiguration.Release);

Change Mono to IL2CPP
It is still Mono

hi how do i adapt the resolution of a game to fit any screen and look normal?

[sleek eagle]

Depends on the game.
The canvas can be scaled if setup right and UI elements can move with anchors

You could also add black borders on phones to force a 16:9 ratio, but this is not an optimal experience

[hexed gate]

do you have a tutorial on how to set it right>

?

[sleek eagle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/HOWTO-UIMultiResolution.html

[hexed gate]

ty

[sleek eagle]

Just google unity scale canvas with screen size

Also many videos

[hexed gate]

yoooo it actually dosnt look like shit now :))

you re cool man

[fallen compass]

Always use the device simulator too, not the game view, when working with mobile

[rapid sun]

Hi All, I hope this is the right place to ask this but I'm having some problems with my FPS when building and running my game on android. Everything works fine on my PC, so I decided to run the profiler while running the game on mobile and everything is running around 1000FPS which is great, except the VSync under CPU Usage is causing my game to drop to like 15 FPS. And when checking what parts of the game are using the most CPU time I get TimeUpdate.WaitForLastPresentationAndUpdateTime. I don't understand why VSync is causing this issue because I turned it off in Settings>Quality. I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows what's going on

[sleek eagle]

Vsync is hardware managed on mobile. So it is basically always on

I am guessing it's a GPU issue as with most mobile games

[rapid sun]

That's a shame. It's a really simple 2D pixel game that I'm running with no shaders, lighting or any fancy so I don't see why that would cause any issues for the GPU. I've also tried lowering the compression quality of my images but that doesn't improve anything

[sleek eagle]

Correct, compression is just how much storage and/or ram it uses.
Without more info I cannot help much, but maybe look into texture atlassing if it's a 2d game. That way you could decrease the amount of draw calls

[rapid sun]

By that do you mean store all my sprites in 1 image? Because that's pretty much what I'm doing. All the assets are in a single sprite atlas for each level and I just tell unity where each individual sprite is in the atlas

[sleek eagle]

Then check the frame debugger. To see how many draw calls you got

Should be a small amount for mobile games

And check stuff like post processing

And enable IL2CPP and other optimizations if not already.
https://youtu.be/7S6QQKtvNo8

[rapid sun]

Thanks for the link man. I'll check that and the frame debugger out

[sacred creek]

Is this a debug profiler from your device or your pc?

[rapid sun]

It's from my mobile device

[sacred creek]

Are you setting the app to a framerate target at some point?

[sacred creek]

And is the GPU part showing you something?

[rapid sun]

Where could I find the "GPU part"?

[sacred creek]

at the same spot as your CPU part you screenshot

Rendering its called

[rapid sun]

On the overview part I get GPU:--ms and under rendering I get this

[sacred creek]

That does look super lightweight.

[rapid sun]

Yeah which is why I'm confused that it seems to be a GPU issue

[sacred creek]

Does your game feel as laggy as the profiler shows?

[rapid sun]

Yeah, but most of the game is static. It's only when a scrolling animation happens when changing levels, and when clicking on an object that opens a UI dialogue that things start to feel lagy

For my moving animation I'm using Vector3.MoveTowards and I'm multiplying my speed by Time.deltaTime. As for the UI most of it is already instantiated but disabled and if I ever need to allocate some new resources I use an Object Pool design pattern. So going from PC to mobile shouldn't really cause any lags

[sacred creek]

Not sure I asked ths already, did you set targetFramerate at some point?

[rapid sun]

Yeah I set it to 0.016667 or something like that, basically 60fps

[sacred creek]

Well, try to remove that line and test again. Maybe your device just cant handle it?

[rapid sun]

I tried setting it to 1/120 and 1/30 as well but that made no difference

[sacred creek]

Hm okay

What renderpipeline are you using in your project?

[rapid sun]

I haven't done anything with rendering pipelines. This is pretty much just a new unity game built of the default 2D template

[sacred creek]

What device are you testing on?

[rapid sun]

One Plus Nord with a snapdragon processer and 90Hz refresh rate

[sacred creek]

That should be fast enough. Maybe try another version of unity, backup your project first. But such a simple project does not sound like the actual issue.

one thing, if you google, you get this. the video might help: https://forum.unity.com/threads/profiling-on-android-device-get-spikes-of-20ms-on-vsync.1026589/

[rapid sun]

Thanks. There is a new update for the Unity editor that's just released so I'll update to that. And I'll check out the link when I get back to work tomorrow 👍

[sacred creek]

Yeah, sometimes it is just a buggy version of unity. Be sure to test with a not beta version too, just to avoid weird bugs noone ran into or similar 😄

[chrome flax]

Did you try the snapdragon profiler to measure gpu work loads

[lucid lintel]

What are the best practices for collecting gameplay data in real-time?

Some options I'm considering:

• PlayerRefs to batch then send chunks over the wire as .json
• Send over HTTP and retry failed sends
• Maintain a TCP connection during gameplay to live-feed data

[rain leaf]

analytics?

[iron hatch]

does anyone know why Application.targetFrameRate = 120;
Locks the fps at 90 when my mobile has 120hz display with 18gb ram? (I am doing in a empty scene no way there is bottleneck for cpu or gpu) Is this a unity issue or is there another setting I need to change?

[neon thicket]

@tawdry scaffold Don't crosspost in the future. This isn't a coding question either, but seeing as it's already been discussed, leave it in #💻┃code-beginner.

[tawdry scaffold]

they told me to ask here

[neon thicket]

Yet it's continued in #💻┃code-beginner. The point is, you discuss your issue in one channel. If you move, then actually move the conversation.

[sleek eagle]

Connect the profiler to see if it's not a bottleneck somewhere

[arctic marlin]

I still search for a possibility to build my Unity 2D Game for the Rasperry Pi (Linux ARM)

Is there any addon or mod for Unity to get a build option for that?

[sleek eagle]

Sadly unity has no linux arm support and isn't planning on adding it (while 2023.1 does have windows arm support...)

[arctic marlin]

windows arm, but no linux arm? I though Windows would be even way less known and used for ARM than Linux.

[sleek eagle]

Yep same

You can post on the forums and maybe it gets seen and reconcidered.
Also add a comment on the platform support roadmap

[arctic marlin]

how hard is it? many peoples mean it would not be that hard to change the backend export

[echo beacon]

Hello, one question, how can I open a map app to see a route? For example, if I have a label with a route that when pressed opens it, if I can open it with Maps, Google Maps or Wise, this is for IOS.

[tired lily]

url scheme or universal links

[echo beacon]

Oh, do you have an example of this? I've been looking all week and I haven't found something that does the same for me. A selector appeared to see which app I open the route with.

[ocean niche]

Has anyone here managed to get Cloud Save working with Google or iOS authentication?

Any time I import the google play plugin I'm getting build errors for android.

[tired lily]

there is some documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/MapLinks/MapLinks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007899-CH5-SW1 https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/get-started https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/urlscheme
You might not be able to do anything about the selector if there are multiple apps that can handle the scheme. I thought on iOS, it was always the first installed app but my memory on that is a bit fuzzy

[echo beacon]

oh okay I will prove this links ,thanks for anything

[stark quartz]

Hey guys, I've been trying to have IAP on iOS for hours (got it working on Android, it's also working in editor with iOS target).

I get this in Xcode:
AP Exception catched: Unity.Services.Core.ServicesInitializationException: You are attempting to access UnityServices.State from a non-Unity Thread. UnityServices.State can only be accessed from Unity Thread

I suspect it is because I'm using an async void to initialize IAP (it's called by the Awake function):

async void Initialize(Action onSuccess, Action<string> onError)
    {
        Debug.Log("Initializing Unity Gaming Services");
        try
        {
            var options = new InitializationOptions().SetEnvironmentName(environment);

            await UnityServices.InitializeAsync(options).ContinueWith(task => onSuccess());
            onUGSInitializedDelegate();
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            onError(exception.Message);
        }
    }

This initializes UGS, then calls a delegate that initializes IAP. I've been trying many ways, but I can't find another way to init IAP after UGS (and if I don't wait for UGS to be initialized, I get an error too).

I've also tried initializing IAP in the onSuccess callback, but I get this error:

UnityEngine.UnityException: get_persistentDataPath can only be called from the main thread.
Constructors and field initializers will be executed from the loading thread when loading a scene.
Don't use this function in the constructor or field initializers, instead move initialization code to the Awake or Start function.

Im sure there is a simple way, but I can't find it

[stark quartz]

Alright so I initialize UGS in awake, and IAP in Start, it seems to work. However, on my iOS device, I get: UnityIAP: Received 0 products
I have a sandbox setup but it doesn't work

[foggy pier]

anyone been having loads of crashes from there GP console with this error
JNI ERROR (app bug): global reference table overflow (max=51200)global reference table dump:
the stack trace always ends in libc.so but also a lot of libart.so in it

[rotund dome]

Any idea why I get these random spikes? Happens like every 15-30 seconds, cant' figure out the reason (Deep Profile on Android)

[foggy pier]

if i had to make a guess its the garbage collector

[rotund dome]

Gfx.WaitForPresent --> The main thread is ready to start rendering the next frame, but the render thread has not finished waiting on the GPU to Present the frame. That's what it indicates, but why does it happen once in a while, and it's not actually happening every frame?

[rotund dome]

Oh :/

Then the garbage collector graph should show something, am I wrong?

[foggy pier]

i was just guessing that from the spikes of GC allocated every few frames

though would put the cursor right on the spike and see what is going on in the player loop

[rotund dome]

Yes, yes, I also have when into that, and reduced a lot, jump is still creates garbage though

[rotund dome]

Ok!

In terms of garbage, I'm using a pool and caching everything reasonable, so garbage as I have profiled is like 0.6kb every jump, everything else is garbage free, idk if it's a lot

The jump is triggered often, like once every 1-2 seconds

So, the garbage collection happens 3 frames before the big spike

I'm not sure if it might be the reason, like I'm aiming for 16ms, so 0.39ms shouldn't be much, compared to that other spike in rendering produced by gfx.waitforpresent

[arctic marlin]

I took my Raspberry Pi and installed Windows 11 ARM on it, then I compiled my 2D Unity Game for Windows ARM, but I always get a "Failed to load Mono" Error Meassage, if I try to run the .exe

[tender summit]

hey guys

build completed but installation failed

any ideas?

[tender summit]

apperantly is the build tools

so

i see

i have a bunch of them

do i need them all?

can i delete anything under 30?

i dont think ill be using them

[lapis badge]

I downloaded androidNDK file externally from browser and idk where should I move it into the file..its showing missing in the external tool

[brazen birch]

You didn't show the full error message.

But my guess is that it is either missing build tools or can't find them. Unity and Android can struggle with things in non-english folder paths.

Anyway, so it sounds like Unity can't find files - and your fix is to delete more? Those SDKs are installed via the Android SDK installer and we're added by projects that had a different min SDK setting.

Delete them if you like but I'd expect that to break things.

[stark quartz]

Hi 👋 My IAP localization keeps being rejected in App Store Connect, I don’t know why (I have no details from Apple). Did anyone have the same issue ?

[tribal ledge]

I am wanting to use my app in popup/split screen view, but when put into popup view and minimized (into the little circle tab) it keeps crashing. Any idea why? And am I able to prevent that?

[rain leaf]

been a long time since I make games for appstore, but try checking your plist file and see if your item ID is listed there

[pulsar isle]

should my canvas scaler be set to match width on locked portrait ?

[rain leaf]

depends on your UI design

[woven marlin]

Hi hi
I just successfully build my apk through my unity editor on laptop
Then i uploaded it to google drive
But once my smart phone downloads it. It doesn't installed automatically

And i can't find it on my directory

Once this done just nothing happen and there are no trace for my apk

[sleek eagle]

Maybe download from the gdrive app instead of link @woven marlin

[woven marlin]

Oh i just split 64 and 32

[sleek eagle]

???

[wispy bronze]

My built APK won't launch and just crashes immediately instead. I got this issue only after I installed the Google Play Games Services plugin in to my project. Does anyone know what to do about this?

[sleek eagle]

Check the logs @wispy bronze

[wispy bronze]

The logs? Like in Android Studio or something?@sleek eagle

[sleek eagle]

I don't use android studio.
If you use build and run and enable autoconnect profiler you can see logs etc in unity (even without debug build you can see the logs with logcat)

[wispy bronze]

Thanks for the advice! It seems it's an gradle issue. Hmm...

[wispy bronze]

^^

[sleek eagle]

Elaborate, what's happening? Which error?

[wispy bronze]

Ughhh, tbh honest I didn't pay attention too much lol

I deleted my plugin, I want to know the difference without it

And then I will download it back

[rapid sun]

I know that this was quite a few days ago but I finally found a fix to my problem and thought I'd share it here just in case anyone is dealing with the same issue. After trying different frame rate values in edit>project settings>Time nothing worked, but once I set the framerate to 60 using Application.targetFrameRate and replaced Time.deltaTime with Time.fixedDeltaTime everywhere it fixed my issue and everything now runs supper smooth

[heady bluff]

How do i only get one value out of the gyroscope?

[glossy sluice]

Did you imported to duplicate class with google? Just delete one of them

Hello friends, i build an apk as a bundle of google it‘s just white file on my imac. So what do i have to do to upload on google store?

[wispy bronze]

@glossy sluice Thanks, I fixed this about a day ago😁

[tranquil scarab]

So with the Unity Starter Assets FPS Controller I got the FPS Controller in my game, and on my smartphone.
But the Move sprite to move around forward and back, stays in place where it is, and so does the look pad sprite.
I noticed from Playing Call of Duty Mobile that the move sprite, and the look pad sprite appear anywhere on the screen depending where you place your finger on the screen, on your smartphone.

Can you adjust the settings on the FPS Controller in the Inspector panel to make the sprites appear when you place your finger on the screen instead of the move and look sprites being fixed in one place on the screen, like a joystick float
If not is this something that has to be coded in C# for the sprites to appear on the screen when the player presses their finger on the touchscreen on their smartphones?

https://youtu.be/dAdYlDvEHUY found this

https://youtu.be/TPzOgMfoCGY in this YouTube video a guy called Hoosan talks about what I am trying to do at 3:55 in the YouTube video, he talks about Add Event to make the sprites move to a specific area on the screen when
the player presses the touchscreen.

I have been on this problem a loooong time and I am worried that I cannot do it, can anyone help me?

[tranquil scarab]

hi

[austere summit]

Does anyone knows whats causing this? Im using the unity generated manifest file.

[novel hill]

How can I drag the screen on mobile?

I have a top down game that I control the camera with wasd on pc, how can i drag the screen on mobile with touch controls

also pinch to zoom in and out

[vague pilot]

Also another question why is my small game so big when I bulid it and my project like 10GB

[glossy sluice]

Hello friends, i build an apk as a bundle of google it‘s just white file on my imac. So what do i have to do to upload on google store? Please help

[neon thicket]

Upload it to Google Play like normal?

[sleek eagle]

Probably many guides on YouTube for touch controlls and pinch to zoom etc

Depends on your project. Some script is turning it off

[sleek eagle]

The library folder is cache, which is used to accelerate development etc.
Only stuff in the Assets folder can be included in builds.
And only the content which is used will be included and even shaders and engine code could be striped if not used

[stark quartz]

It was only the translation that was being rejected, I resubmitted and it worked 🤨

[vague pilot]

Sorry I should have deleted the post it is fixed thx tho

[ivory turtle]

Trying to get my game running on an iphone with unity remote 5 (I'm using unity on windows). Unity does find the phone and I have Itunes open which also finds it. I already managed to get the game run on my phone once, but ever since then it did not work again for some reasons. I am getting this message that I don't understand and it might be the reason but idk. Any help would be appriciated.

[vague pilot]

Are you sure everytime you plug it in you allow it

[ivory turtle]

are you refering to that box that pops up asking me wether or not I trust the pc?

[glossy sluice]

Hi, how to fix this problem?

[ivory turtle]

@vague pilot

[vague pilot]

yea

[ivory turtle]

Well whenevr it did pop up I said trust but recently it has not popped up again

[vague pilot]

Try turning both your computer and your iPhone off other then that I dont know why it would not be working sorry

[vague pilot]

just keep trying to unplug it and plug it in and make sure you trust it also remember to put it on play mode

[ivory turtle]

Well it just asked me to trust and still doesn’t work when I run it. Yeah imma try to restart all devices now. Thx for your help though

[floral light]

Hi, trying to finish my 1st commercial game and I can't pass the build point so I can upload it to google play for the testing phase.

If I lower the targeting API level from minimal 24 to target level 30 the build completes with no issue, but google play does not allow any app below target level 31.
Build fails when targeting API level 31
I'm using Unity 2020.3.2f1 and installed android SDK build tools 30.0.3 with Android Studio SDK manager.
In publishing, settings:
enabled AndroidManifest.xml and added: "android:exported="true" in the activity section.
enabled LauncherTemplate.gradle and specify "buildToolsVersion '30.0.3'"
enabled MainTemplate.gradle and specify same "buildToolsVersion '30.0.3'"

I also tried opening my project with a newer unity version 2020.3.25f1 but then I get over 650+ compiler errors. So this is a dead end.

I am stuck here I need help 🥺

[glossy sluice]

Hi, trying to respawn my player after he dies. It works fine and the player respawned but isn’t visible again why?

[sleek eagle]

What do you mean visible?
Seems like a #💻┃code-beginner question btw @glossy sluice

[sleek eagle]

Id say try the latest 2020 lts. The compiler errors might be an easier fix then you think

[vague pilot]

First of all congrats on finishing a game second of all based on my experience I had to install another unity version So maybe try that.

[glossy sluice]

My friend it’s easy: go to android studio and click on configure

[glossy sluice]

After clicking go to sdk and apply api level 33. After this you go to your project under player settings in publish settings api 33. Then build again. Unity will show and ask you if you want to update your sdk just click yes and that’s it

[glossy sluice]

Hi again, so I need to upload my game on google play store but first I have to upload url with my data. I don’t have this. Any advice?

[bronze aurora]

Hello there
I've been getting this error for the last 2 days now, I'm trying to build .aab file for my game to be uploaded to the Google Play Store. I've checked on YouTube and have corrected the key passwords, but I'm still getting this error. Please help me, I'm pulling out my hair!

[split dew]

guys what is this? I mean, of course everyone would want their game to be of high quality then why is this meter/checkbox?

I am making an android game (it's just a small 50mb board game satisfying) so should I make the android quality as ultra?

[sleek eagle]

It tells you what to do. Look in the console for more info

[sleek eagle]

You can remove the ones you don't need. For me with VR I have 1 preset for quest 2, 1 for pcvr medium and 1 for pcvr ultra.

Higher quality presets are heavier to run and certainly not all devices can run on ultra. A game shouldn't run at 15 fps on ultra if it looks the same at low but at 60fps. Make sure that if you pick one for android you still disable all the features you don't need (like realtime reflections etc)

[split dew]

how to disable these and can you list some of the important ones here. I dont have much idea.

[sleek eagle]

Just go though what's there and see if you need it and run the profiler when you build to your device

[split dew]

whats profiler?

got it

[bronze aurora]

Please forgive me, I'm sort of new to all this , but I don't really understand what the console is saying

I'm guessing it has to do with the Advertisement Legacy Package?

[sleek eagle]

I think so yeah. At least something ad related @bronze aurora

[glossy sluice]

Hi again, so I need to upload my game on google play store but first I have to upload url with my data. I don’t have this. Any advice?

Where can I get it?

[glossy sluice]

Hi, i have a question, why after implement AdMob my app build start crash

[tired lily]

look at logs, could be a lot of things

[bronze aurora]

HEY I FIXED IT!!!!

I just had to delete everything relating to Unity Ads and the Ads package

I guess I'm going to have to monetize my game using Unity Ads with Mediation, so if anyone has any videos on that that'd helpful lol

[glossy sluice]

Is there any idea?

[bronze aurora]

Can you translate?

[glossy sluice]

Hi again, so I need to upload my game on google play store but first I have to upload url with my data. I don’t have this. Any advice?

[tired lily]

1. create a privacy policy
2. upload the privacy policy to a website

[pine moon]

Hoping for someone to help a bit on my question: So I have a touch screen computer. Does Unity's Game Testing Window just not recognize touch screen commands for testing out touch screen coding when making a mobile game?

[tired lily]

they might be interpreted as clicks. Unity remote is normally how I test device controls/sensors in the editor

[pine moon]

Unity Remote?! Well now I feel stupid I don't know what that is

Actually, is there any way I can bother you with clarification on the encoding to using a touch screen to "tap" an object in Unity? Since you seem to have experience in that.

[tired lily]

What do you mean, tap? I assume Unity is interpreting your touches the same way as mouse clicks, instead of touches. You'll need to use the touch api instead
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetTouch.html

[pine moon]

I read that touch screen controls are no longer synonymous with mouse clicks as of 2019. Before 2019 you could just click "get mouse down" and a tap on a touch screen would also be read as the same thing

now apparently I need to encode "touch screen controls" to get a simple screen tap

and I won't lie I've been struggling.

I tried doing this to one of my objects, but either it didn't work or Unity's testing window doesn't detect taps. If this is correct code pls let me know:

void Update()
  {
  if (Input.touchCount > 0)
  {
  //do something here.
  }

}

if that syntax is correct then I guess I only thought it wasn't because I wasn't testing it properly. As I said above I don't know anything about Unity Remote

[tired lily]

are you using Unity remote to test now?

[pine moon]

nope, I actually need to learn more about unity remote

is that syntax correct if so then YAY I just need to use unity remote

OH so I download Unity Remote on my phone?

[tired lily]

if you're testing touch controls specifically, yes. Otherwise use Input.GetMouseDown and make sure Input.simulateMouseWithTouches is true

[pine moon]

Oh

Input.simulateMouseWithTouches is something that is new to me. Ok so where do I make sure that is true?

ok so then I am probably doing ok with my game - and the touch control probably works then is what I'm gathering, I just apparently didn't realize the regular unity interface doesn't allow for my touch screen monitor to test touches

[tired lily]

if you didn't disable it, it should already be true. But that would be one reason you wouldn't be able to use mouse down, if you were reading some kind of guide that had you shut it off

[pine moon]

No, I just read a news report with a Unity Website that said "Unity is disabling all touch screen inputs with the Mouse as of 2019. When you program mouse clicks they will no longer be the same as touch inputs afterward. You will have to encode touch inputs to make them work with the game from here on out."

[tired lily]

maybe the editor just doesn't like touch screens. I'm surprised it doesn't work if you switched to OnMouseDown and see nothing though

[pine moon]

I'm using this code: if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))

should it be Input.OnMouseDown then?

[tired lily]

your website is probably wrong then, as I'm using OnMouseDown and similar in a number of games on 2021.3.11f1 and it works fine on mobile

[pine moon]

oh thank god

so I don't have to worry about extra encoding

but wait is GetMouseButtonDown not the same as OnMouseDown?

if it is the same then I won't worry

if it isn't then I have to fix that code

[tired lily]

they should be similar. Why not make a local build and test it?

[pine moon]

I will just I can't right now, I have a blazing migraine and I spent 3 hours last night worrying over that website talking about something in 2019. Apparently a few youtubers believed the same thing. but if it still works as it used to then they must be on crack or something.

that worry is taken off my shoulders, tyso much man!

or woman

[lime violet]

Trying to use the unity mediation (ive used it before and worked fine) but now on the code generator im getting this

on the unity dashboard, ads are enabled

also shows the ad units under the ad units tab but for some reason the code generator says there are no ad units

First of all, Happy New Year to you all!
My original post: #📱┃mobile message
So this is how I solved it:
Jumped from 2020.3.2ff1 to 2020.3.43.f1 and opened the project and found 797 errors.
almost all of them were conflict files for plasticSCM.
Since I use version control I roll back to the 2020.3.2ff1 version and delete all plasticSCM from the project, I didn't use it. I used GitLab with LFS. switched back to 2020.3.43.f1 dropped down from 797 to 54 errors.
Did the same thing again with the IAP-purchases package. Commented on all scripts that used their libs I plan to import it back but for the new 2020.3.43.f1.
After the IAP-purchases package was removed opened it again on 2020.3.43.f1 with 0 errors.

Build settings selected a minimum lvl24-API to target lvl31 and the build pass was clean with no errors(this step was impossible in 2020.3.2f1).

Uploaded the app bundle to google play with no errors and now I'm in my closed-testing cycle.
Problem solved.

Thank you @sleek eagle You were right! When you said "The compiler errors might be an easier fix then you think".
Thank you @vague pilot upgrading the project to latest 2020 LTS was the solution for me after all.
Thank you @glossy sluice the steps you provided did solve the issue but I also needed to use a different Unity version.

[heady bluff]

using a gyroscope, is there a way to get the rotations of it before the game starts? i have to prop it up at a perfectly 90 degree angle as the project is loading for it to display the correct measurements

[sleek eagle]

Awake runs before showing anything on screen.
Start is before the first screen iirc, so also not noticable if gyro activates in Awake

[heady bluff]

i understand how the start method works. Looking back at my first message, i worded it horribly. I intended ask how i would get the values in the gyroscope to display in the start/awake method. Unity seems to set the rotations on the gyroscope as 0,0,0(on start or first frame of the update) no matter what rotation the gyro actually is. due to this i need to prop the phone at a perfect 0 degree angle to correctly display the values. i no longer want to do that because there is lots of possibilty for error

[sleek eagle]

Ahhhhh I get it now
Maybe this will help?
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Gyroscope-gravity.html

Otherwise im not sure, maybe make a forum post if no one here knows

I'm trying to test my game on my device using unity remote, but it does not show up under the devices tab, anybody know how I could fix this?

anybody can ping me if they know what to do

[glossy sluice]

Youre welcome

[glossy sluice]

My friend i have a question too. If you want to upload an aab to google you have to link your url of data terms somewhere. How did you solve that? Do you got your own website? I didn’t. How it works actually with your testing cycle ?

[floral light]

Yes, I did provide a privacy policy. I did exactly as @tired lily replied to your question earlier.
"1. create a privacy policy
2. upload the privacy policy to a website
3. paste the url to your privacy policy into that box"

My app is in "in review" status and I still don't know are my steps correct.
Google provides all users with feature "sites" there I created my privacy policy. When you write your privacy policy you publish it on google sites and you get url for your new public privacy policy page. Copy url and paste it in the "der datenschutzerklarung"

If my game becomes approved only then I can be sure that this step solves the privacy policy request.

I first wanted to run the closed testing for my game so I can find early bugs before I launch the game.
When you create a close testing cycle you need to provide the list of testers. The list of the tester is an e-mail list of people who will get this e-mail notification when your game is approved. So they can see and download the game from the google play store. Nobody else can see it or download it.

I don't really know if this belongs here but I can't find a channel that really fits my problem, I'm working on a map for a vr mobile (oculus quest) scene and I need to optimize my scene as it has too many polys for the quest1. I found an addon called "mesh optimizer" and decided to use it. I have about 70 pine trees that need optimizing and the script that came with the addon has an optimize button that I need to click so that the polys get reduced. Multi object editing is not supported by this addon and that would mean that I need to press the button for every pine tree in the inspector. Is there any faster way to do this?

[glossy sluice]

I appreciate it. Thanks a lot. Ok, that means I have to build a website? Can I see your website?

[floral light]

You don't need to build your website, you can use google sites...this is my privacy policy site https://sites.google.com/view/gameforge-tower-barrage/home
But as I said I still dont know is this a valid solution my app is still in review status

Hello, I try to implement deeplinking on android, I follow the tutorial https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/deep-linking.html, the deeplinking works if the app is not already launched, but if the app is in background, the deeplink launch the app and the app froze on the main scene.

[tired lily]

sounds like you have an infinite loop somewhere

do you open the url you receive at any point?

[fringe sparrow]

has anyone used ironsource service for mobile ads? I got sent an email from "[e-mail]" requesting that I send them bank info "Account number and Routing Number" to their email. But I am scared since I have never done this. Is this how its normally done?

[tired lily]

no

https://developers.is.com/ironsource-mobile/general/set-payment-method/#step-1

[fringe sparrow]

thank you

[haughty mantle]

No I just show data received in this url, my app generate a deeplink for an other app, the other app open it and sign the message and open a deeplink to my app with the result.

Guys, I'm trying to upload a android build to Google Play. All is fine but I get an error saying that the included Play Billing library version is unsupported. We dont have IAP in the app at all so I'm wondering why is unity building it into the aab at all. We havent even enabled the iap package or anything.

[haughty mantle]

Have you a google play library in your package

[sharp smelt]

No there are 0 google play integrations. We are only using the AR foundation package

I'm suspecting that the In App purchasing package that is installed by default is putting things in the build by default

[sharp smelt]

Can confirm, the IAp package was doing it. Even when IAP was turned off in project settings

[glossy sluice]

Does google answer yet?

[tribal ember]

hi, im trying to build into ios through xcode, but i keep getting this error. Anybody know what to do?

[glossy sluice]

Hi, does Google answer yet?

[floral light]

I got App rejected, reason is data safety section in Google Play User Data policy: Invalid Data safety form...I need to fix this but I'm not sure where to start. I only store players' game progression and purchase items on users' devices. And the user can take a screenshot from his game(no personal information in the image) and share it on any social network.
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

[tired lily]

did you fill out the data safety form?

[floral light]

Yeah but I guess somewhere in all this process I made a mistake and I trying to figure it out. The thing is I'm seeing this and doing this for the first time so it's kind of normal to make so many mistakes, I just want to make it right 😄

[tired lily]

you might have made some claim that you don't know isn't true, for example saying you don't collect gaid but actually due to IAP you do. Something like that can get you rejected

[floral light]

It must be something like that, I just need to confirm it, find it, change it. Thank you

what is there to solve? provide a valid data safety form. Probably an automatic rejection based on app behavior not matching claims

[mortal cove]

check if all you sdk and jdk are up to date

[bronze aurora]

Hey

I think I figured out your problem.

I had a similar one

But basically

Go to data safety and try and make sure the information matches this https://docs.unity.com/ads/en/GoogleDataSafety.html

Once I edited that, I sent the app to be re-applied and they accepted.

[bronze aurora]

Make sure it follows the information here https://docs.unity.com/ads/en/GoogleDataSafety.html

[hard blaze]

greetings. Trying to upload an aab to google play store. It gives me a message that my target API needs to be at least android sdk 31. But, when I choose that in Unity, it says its not installed.

I tried downloading android studio, and redirecting Unity to the installation. But gradle now fails on all builds.

So, I tried upgrading project from 2020 to 2021 (hoping the build in Android SDK allows for targeting 31), but google play still rejecting, saying sdk needs to be at least 31

Edit: Solved by having android studio targeting the android install in Unity and installing api 30 and 33 (i skipped 31, because heard there were issues with it)

[narrow ice]

What exactly do i need?

[small sierra]

im trying to make a mobile app for the first time for a school project and im wondering if i would be able to use unity to make the app?

i know it would be possible but im mostly wondering about any issues i could face in the in the future if i did

[sleek eagle]

If it's a simple app with a lot of UI, make sure your canvas scales with screen size. And lock the game mode resolution to the ratio you want.
Other than that just try what you want :p

[sleek eagle]

Which light? The stand? The background?

[rustic prism]

On the wall

[sleek eagle]

Like the yellow on the background?
Is it done with just a texture? If so, which texture

[rustic prism]

The yellow is the light source coming from a directional realtime light, not a texture. I'm getting this blocky lighting only on the phone, looking fine in the editor

[sleek eagle]

It it 3d or 2d urp?
Do you use the same quality preset for mobile and desktop?

[rustic prism]

It's 3d urp, yes I did use the same preset

@sleek eagle Other example of the lighting being blocky. The more detailed one is on the editor the other one on the phone.

[sleek eagle]

Seems like shadow resolution
Can you send a screenshot of the quality settings?

[rustic prism]

Yeah here

[sleek eagle]

Can you also show the matrix at the top with the checkmarks?

[sleek eagle]

Yep, android has a lower preset as I said

It's at balanced (green check)

[rustic prism]

oh alright, how can I change that green check?

[sleek eagle]

Arrow at the bottom

Or remove the unused levels altogether. Will also save build size maybe?

[rustic prism]

that was the fix..I'm cracking my head on it for hours

[rustic prism]

Yeah I will try it, thanks for helping me I been stuck on it for a while now

[sleek eagle]

Glad to help :p

[rustic prism]

Just want to ask is there a way for me to achieve the same level of details in the lighting without it effecting the performance so much?

[sleek eagle]

Probably other places you can optimize more. Even on quest 2 I got 4k res shadows working

If possible baking it will do wonders tho, but idk your game

Optimization is hard to help with without the project

Here are CPU tips I made: https://youtu.be/7S6QQKtvNo8

Will make a video on URP settings as well

[rustic prism]

Thanks I will look at that now

[rustic prism]

A fix for people who encounter the same problem and the performance is still an Issue, If you want to get better shadows just change it in the pipeline that is in charge of the level you want.

[sleek eagle]

Or optimize the high performance one (;

Also disable SSAO if it's on. That and bloom is massive

In the URP renderer for that asset

Hello All. Im added google play services plugin in my game and unity resolving self. And resolving stays like this. Not continue resolve. Please anybody help me that how can solve this problem ?

[tired lily]

if no obvious issues in console, enable verbose logging in EDM4U and try again. Uncheck use gradle daemon in EDM settings

[amber matrix]

Now im installed files directly and resolve fixed problem but now im taking this error and i dont understand why its happen. I wrote the all using instructions

[tired lily]

how old are the instructions? the literal top hit on google for PlayGamesClientConfiguration is that it's not used any more

you are following directions from here, yes? https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity

[amber matrix]

Yes

[tired lily]

yes what? If you are following the instructions, where does your code come from?

[amber matrix]

Im downloaded plugin from there

And what should i use instead PlayGamesClientConfiguration ?

[tired lily]

you should follow their code example linked in that same page instead of wherever you are getting this old deprecated stuff from

[marble sinew]

Hey People.

Just to make it short:
We got this project that includes a level editor within it, and we wanted to allow players to share and export their own levels, I know we can include an import/export system to open the levels within the game itself but (with the project manager's suggestion/insistence) I wanted to know the possibility of building an APK from an already built app; so we can export the player-made levels as a separate build/APK and share it that way.
This might not be possible due to the compiler being on the engine and such, but is it possible via native android libraries or other options ? searching doesn't bring good enough results for me.

Thanks in advance.

[tired lily]

go with option 1, option 2 is insane and has no practical chance of success

[marble sinew]

Thought the same way, Thank you

Hello, Is it normal right now, that Windows ARM Builds doesen't work on Windows ARM?

I can find nothing about that in google, this discord and even the Unity Forum.

[sleek eagle]

2023.1 has this in alpha iirc

Oh do you mean as export target or for the editor?

2023 has it as export

[arctic marlin]

the exported game always have this "Failed to load Mono" Windows Error Meassage if I try to run the .exe

[sleek eagle]

Are you on the latest alpha?

And maybe try il2cpp

Iirc mono had issues and il2cpp did work

[arctic marlin]

il2cpp made a Compiler error I think

[sleek eagle]

Then fix that :p

[arctic marlin]

but I can try again

[arctic marlin]

tell me how

[sleek eagle]

Tell me the error haha

Also you can ask for help on the forums. There is a thread about windows arm support, and they probably monitor it

should I use Framework or Standard?

for the Api Compatiblity Level AND the Editor Assembies Compatiblity Level

[sleek eagle]

Standard

[arctic marlin]

both

?

[sleek eagle]

Probably

I haven't tried it myself but standard generally has better support

In visual studio you need to add the c++ for windows arm modules @arctic marlin

[sleek eagle]

We can't give legal advice here. Too many different things dependant on where you are from and what exactly you do etc.
In general you pay taxes over the income you earn ofc

[arctic marlin]

Desktop or Mobile C++?

because its Windows ARM

or Gamedevelopment with C++?

The Monitor, the Phone or the Controller Icon?
@Dev Dunk

[sleek eagle]

In the seperate modules maybe. You need c++ support for windows arm @arctic marlin

Not sure if there is a overarching set for this

[arctic marlin]

I'M not sure should I install: "Desktop Development C++" Or: "Game Development C++" ?

[sleek eagle]

Neither

You need to look in the other tab

I'll get my laptop

Guessing this one

And maybe the win 11 sdk

[indigo condor]

anybody using apple cloudkit? I'd like to make sort of a group with people using it to share knowledge

The Game crashes after I start it... Its strange...
I also made a emtpy Unity scene with just a cube and the camera and this could stay for an hour, but my game does crash if I try go to the options or like in the video, try to load the scene.

[sleek eagle]

Check the logs

[arctic marlin]

what logs?

[sleek eagle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LogFiles.html

The player logs

Then you can see why it crashes

[arctic marlin]

dont get it.

there was no crash screen after it

the game was just closed

[sleek eagle]

Yes

So check the logs xD

[arctic marlin]

what logs?

[sleek eagle]

At least you see what happened before it closes

The logs your game generates

Check the location in the link I sent

[arctic marlin]

I dont get it

it that a asset I need to install in the game

the button just change the scene and the option button just enable a UI panel.

its a simple game not a dribble A game with high quality loading screen with logs included.

[sleek eagle]

What?

You said it crashes (or closes unexpectedly) right?

[arctic marlin]

only what you see in the video. and after this "!" meassage with the game icon. it closed with NO Crashlog in the background

[sleek eagle]

There always will be logs generated when you play a unity game iirc

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\CompanyName\ProductName\Player.log

Or

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages<productname>\TempState\UnityPlayer.log

Yo, I'm making my first game which is an offline single-player one but has ads and in-app purchases and such.
But i've never worked with saving and stuff before and playerprefs are not safe or secure but i found an asset on the unity asset store which is a free one and people seem to recommend it , it's called "Save Game Free - Gold Update" and i plan to use it but it also gives you the option to save to Cloud, but what Cloud is it saving to? sorry if its a stupid question, i hope someone here could help guide me on what's the best way to do this :)

[tired lily]

whatever your server is

you'll need some kind of backend if you want cloud saving

[cold sable]

Could i cloud save on android services?

[tired lily]

why not? https://developers.google.com/games/services/common/concepts/savedgames

[cold sable]

I meant is it free for everyone who owns a developer account?

And if i choose to save locally for now, could i move to cloud later without the players losing any progress after i update it?

I have a small game that looks like 100mb, so I created an installer and installed it as a test, and it was 1,10gb. Does someone know why this happend?

[elder wren]

you can try reducing the size with minify

I'm trying to add leaderboards to my game but after importing the google play services package, I get this error when trying to build, does anyone know what reason this could be happening? (API 31):

I've seen people online say it has to do with the keystore password being incorrect but this is not the case for me

[tired lily]

did you See the Console for details.?

[elder wren]

there's more but these seem to be the most important errors

[tired lily]

are you building an example project? why does com.google.example.games.mainlibproj.BuildConfig exist?

[elder wren]

nah i imported google play services to a project that i was already working on

no idea why thats there 🤔

how do i change it? I could go to the directory listed and change it manually but I'm not sure if that's advised lol

[tired lily]

how did you install it, exactly? Did you follow the Plugin Installation directions?

[elder wren]

I just got the .zip from the github page

I took the unity package file from the current-build folder

I'm using version 10.14 because apparently there's a known bug with the latest version

[tired lily]

and the project builds okay without it installed?

[elder wren]

yeah, before I added the google play package I had it working properly with ads (from admob)

[tired lily]

try a blank project next, eliminate any other possibilities. The presence of some example code makes me think something is installed incorrectly

[elder wren]

alright, I'll try later on and see what happens

I just did a clean build tho and now I have a new error

is there any solution for this that doesnt require editing xml files?

I have edited them to solve this problem before but I'm not sure if that's how I should be going about fixing this

[tired lily]

hmm does admob already have a dependency on play services? that error looks like you have com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID defined in multiple manifests

[elder wren]

it doesn't but it does come with a manifest file

this is google play:

this is play services:

[tired lily]

are you viewing these before or after processing? export to android studio and look there, they probably have some postprocessing scripts because otherwise these are too bare

[elder wren]

export like this right?

mb I've never exported before

along with the 2 other manifests from before, now I see this one

mb theres that 1 too

howcome there's no prefix of u003 on the APP_ID?

theres 5 in total

[tired lily]

they all get merged together, that's why you're seeing that previous error

[elder wren]

so just delete one of the APP_ID's?

[tired lily]

are you sure you configured your project correctly? You did all the steps? Exported resources from play console and into the project?

[elder wren]

huh?

ohh wait u mean

this?

[tired lily]

maybe time to dive into the source generating those manifests then, it's getting that example package from somewhere

[elder wren]

well there's 1 thing that I didn't mention

I'm implementing ads and play services with a unity store asset

Mobile Tools from Gley Games

I'd assume it would be as easy as following the documentation and it works but that's not the case unfortunately

atleast in my case... I'll try the blank project later and see because maybe there's just something that I'm overlooking here

anyone know a solution??

[tired lily]

look for any errors in logcat

[hybrid ginkgo]

errors like this?

i have no idea how to fix it

[tired lily]

proguard probably ripped out that class. Build the player in dev mode, if that fixes it add a custom proguard file so those classes don't get removed

[hybrid ginkgo]

im still fairly new to this, so i have no idea what are you saying, sry..

i dont think i can build in dev mode, cuz the game already in play store..

though i am just using internal testing for now..

[tired lily]

you don't do any testing with a local build?

[hybrid ginkgo]

well, i usually just build it and upload in internal testing, where only i can test it..
again, im still new in game development.. x'd

[tired lily]

regardless, now that you have the error you can find a solution pretty easily

internal testing is for distributing to other testers, and rarely debugging certain issues that requires your app to be signed the same way an actual production release would be

C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2022.2.1f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\OpenJDK\bin\java.exe -classpath "C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2022.2.1f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Tools\gradle\lib\gradle-launcher-7.2.jar" org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain "-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096m" "assembleRelease"
How can I fix it

[fallen compass]

oh, so you just ignored the important part of my msg..

[lost rose]

I didn't get that part

what is stack trace and where I can find it?

[fallen compass]

the obvious place to look, because it's to do with the error you posted, is in the console

[lost rose]

That is a console only, isn't it

[fallen compass]

there are two sections when you click on an error.. the error and then more info in the section below

[fallen compass]

is the error you have selected, the first one spat out from a failed build?

[lost rose]

Yes sir

there are two more after this one

and then the build is failed error

[fallen compass]

read each one

find something that's actually useful

[lost rose]

no idea

[fair stream]

Sorry for late reply

This is the error

[tired lily]

are you initializing with the right ad units? And you're testing on an actual device?

[fair stream]

Yes

[tired lily]

hiding info isn't going to help solve your problem. How are you initializing the sdk? What configuration settings do you have? What are the exact ad units you're using?

[fair stream]

I'm not hiding tbh

[fair stream]

I'm initializing it using gameamker studio
this is the configuraiton

Tbh I used to always click on my own ads as a tester

[tired lily]

I don't recognize the code you're using to initialize with, and all of your screenshots are clipped for some reason

[fair stream]

Oh

[tired lily]

show more of your initialization code

[fair stream]

Okay

[tired lily]

where is UnitAds_Init defined? is this a gamemaker thing?

[fair stream]

it's a Java extension

maybe i'll upload the java file here

@tired lily have u got a unity game id for testing?

NVm i guess i found one

[tired lily]

are you sure your initialization logic is right? the error code you are getting back is for an ad load error, and the initialize method you're using seems to take a different listener than what you're giving it

I'm looking at this: https://docs.unity.com/ads/en/AndroidAPI.html#UnityAdsInitializationError, https://docs.unity.com/ads/en/AndroidAPI.html#UnityAds and https://docs.unity.com/ads/en/AndroidAPI.html#IUnityAdsInitializationListener

[fair stream]

There is a problem in my code not my game id then i guess

I have two different unity extensions

My id worked with another extension

But in an oter project

[tired lily]

I'm going to guess that the sdk is initializing correctly, but since you never request any ads or use the ad units you're getting an ad load error

[fair stream]

Hmm

[tired lily]

you should be calling UnityAds.load at some point, so unless there's code missing that's definitely going to cause failures when you try to show ads

[fair stream]

Nevermind

Things worked fine

@tired lily Hello. Im installed google play plugin in the my project and i did build and then its done . I could upload my game on the play store but when try to open my game on the phone then its game always stopping

[tired lily]

does it work locally? does logcat show any issues?

[amber matrix]

@tired lily im tried on the editor and worked game correctly but when i bundle and upload play store than game is always stopping. And i didnt check logcat logs

[tired lily]

the editor is no substitute for a device, ideally physical

build locally and look at the logs, seems like 80% of the time somebody comes here with an android crash on launch it has something to do with proguard and missing classes

the logs will tell you exactly what's happened and it's easy to fix if so

[amber matrix]

@tired lily But im building with Google Play App Bunle and you know its bundle not apk . So how can i try on the phone ?

[tired lily]

uncheck build as bundle

Hello Labs, what do you think about using google sites for websites?

[teal pilot]

Hi everyone, does anyone have any suggestions for a cloud platform to store user accounts for an online mobile game - this is mainly to store the user’s progress

[amber matrix]

@tired lily Thank you 🙂 But now i have another problem im opened new project and tried to build and im taking gradle error. ,

Why did it so like this ?

[amber matrix]

Im taking this errors

[lime ice]

A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade

More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/kotlinx_coroutines_core.version'.

Anyone any idea how to fix this?

[tired lily]

look at the actual errors

[amber matrix]

I looked but didnt understood. I think this happened because of gradle but before not have any error for the gradle

[tired lily]

you didn't post what the errors are

how did you get a bundle if you can't build an apk?

[glossy sluice]

Hello Labs, what do you think about using google sites for websites?

[proper depot]

General (and maybe stupid question here) Android question here... but if I wanted to read and write to a folder what directory would be good to use on the Android filesystem?

[tired lily]

[feral sapphire]

Is there a way to add custom Dynamic Island activities on the iPhone 14 pro series from a unity app?

[tired lily]

why wouldn't you be able to? You can interop with native code https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/NativePlugins.html. You can even drop C/C++/ObjC files straight into a Plugins/iOS dir

[eternal notch]

i have a question suppose i download the asset bundle from the server in android and now i want to load that locally do anyone know where it stored?

Cause currently i am downloading the bundles in resources forlder and its not loading in android but fine loading in editor

[tired lily]

did you make the Resources folder in a writable location? the way you phrased that makes me think you believe the folder structure under Assets exists in a build. That all gets mashed into various .res files and packaged into the apk (with some specific exceptions). Look at Application.persistentDataPath and https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Caching.html

[amber matrix]

@tired lily Im taking this errors

[tired lily]

I don't understand what you mean. The popup is telling you to click on each of those errors in the console to read what they are since there is more info there

[amber matrix]

@tired lily Probably u didnt see this image

@split dew First disable button interactable and create a timer and timer finished then enable button interactable

[tired lily]

click on each of those errors to find out what they are, like the popup told you to do

[amber matrix]

Im taking this error ;
WARNING: The option setting 'android.enableR8=false' is deprecated. It will be removed in version 5.0 of the Android Gradle plugin. You will no longer be able to disable R8

And im searched about it but cant solve problem

Sorry then just create timer like this ;

@split dew int timer = 5;
if(timer<=0) { //ads show code
//restart code}
else{//restart code}

@split dew in update timer-=Time.deltaTime;

Hi. I'm getting all these Adaptive Performance messages popping up in a brand new project. Should I be worried?

[amber matrix]

@tired lily Now im understood my problem im deleted project and same project old then i tried to build and i can now. When i delete googlemobileads and installed unityads that time im taking these errors. Why its so ?

[tired lily]

keep looking through the errors, the one you found is a warning

[copper sleet]

Would i come here to get help with joysticks for mobile?

[tired lily]

look in your device settings, usually there is an ads menu or something similar under privacy. Google it for your specific device if you can't find it

[tired lily]

you can change those settings afterwards in the play console, don't worry about that

your advertising id is unique to your device. On my phone it's Settings > Privacy > Ads menu, where you can view, delete, or reset your ad id

are you seeing test ads? Some advertisers won't start serving ads until your app is live in the store

[tired lily]

what ad network(s) are you using?

you need to test on a physical device. Everything in the editor is faked

[halcyon moss]

HI! How I can get good real time shadows on mobile?
I'm using Standard render pipeline, currently my shadows look like this. I saw other games with way better shadows.

[tired lily]

try tweaking the quality settings you're using

[sleek eagle]

Do a lot of tweaking and performance testing as said. If the light will always be from 1 direction, you can also fake the shadow with a sprite/quad with a shadow texture you make

Will also allow you to disable any realtime shadows which is a huge performance win

[halcyon moss]

I'm using day/night cycle so that's i need to be realtime

[tired lily]

do you have an upload signing key? you should sign your bundle with it

[halcyon moss]

@split dew add there some number, try 1

I use 8k shadows rez but the performance is not good :))

[tired lily]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-keystore-create.html

[sonic otter]

My experience with signing has been in Android studio, they make it pretty straightforward

Just link your account with google and they give you a signing key for your projects

[slender grotto]

Hey i'm trying so simulate my game on my iPhone via unity remote 5 the issue is that when i press play it doesn't work.
I also saw at the bottom of my sreen that every time i plug and unplug my phone a message is show android extension scan for adb devices is this normal knowing that i'm connecting an ios device.
My platform is currently switched on ios mode.
Anyone knows why this is happening ?

[sonic otter]

Development build enables the Debug.Log (which for performance probably don't want to do for production). Can't remember what else

Best for production to not do development build

testing is fine though

[glossy sluice]

Hello Labs, what do you think about using google sites for websites?

[sonic otter]

You've asked that question a few times, what are you trying to do with it?

[undone radish]

how can i fix this error its my first time adding ads

[halcyon moss]

I'm doing something wrong here, my game took more than 20 seconds to save, everything is working good but not the save it takes too long to save, I have rly good network connection and the file is like 10kb

[rain leaf]

it could be not realtime shadow at all
try using projector instead if you want crisp(not jagged) or smooth shadow

[tired lily]

step 1 is to find out what the errors are

[tired lily]

1: finish relevant section in play store for your listing under policy and programs -> app content
2: add testers under testing -> internal testing
3: haven't seen that one, sounds like something went wrong with proguard and the mapping file wasn't found. Dev build?
4: when building, make sure the create symbols option is enabled to also get a zip. Upload this zip with your bundle
5: bundle codes must be unique and ascending. Edit Bundle Version Code and rebuild

Hi do u know how to check error log? I have added admob my test ad works fine but real ad doesn't show up

[tired lily]

1. you tested it on an actual device, right?
2. is it published?
3. are there any ad load errors? If everything is configured correctly, you may still not see ads due to limited ad serving or no fill
4. I assume you went through all the steps to set up your app for admob, right?

[silent canopy]

1. I tested test ad on unity which it worked then I switched to real ID and from my phone it doesn't come
2. yes I published on playstore
3. I didntnt got any error how do I see that there is no fill or limited serving
4. yes

Also thx for helping

[tired lily]

define "test ad on unity". You tested in the editor, or you tested on your device and saw test ads?

[silent canopy]

I tested test ad in editor

[tired lily]

so you didn't really test ads yet. Deploy to your device and test there. The editor simulates ad watches

[silent canopy]

Ohhhh okay

Thx

[tired lily]

also make sure you've either enabled test ads in the sdk (I assume there's an option) or have added your advertising id as a test device so you don't get flagged for invalid traffic

[silent canopy]

Okay

So basically I set my mobile as test device and test ads right

[tired lily]

did you get test ads working with the default demo ad units? once you've verified that works, configure a test device and test it using your own ad units

[silent canopy]

Yes

[silent canopy]

Okay

[silent canopy]

I just now added my test device but when I try to test in my phone I find no difference

By no difference I mean ads not coming

[brazen birch]

As an FYI, after launch, it can take a week or two before actual ads are served to your device. In the meantime it won't show any ads avail

[silent canopy]

It has been months

[brazen birch]

I didn't read carefully if that was your issue

Gotcha

[tired lily]

it takes time for the test device info to propagate too, so give it some time. In the meantime, look for any errors in logcat. You're logging ad load failures right?

[silent canopy]

Oh okay also how do I check errors in logcat?

[tired lily]

also as a sanity check, what is your admob app status? I assume you already submitted it, or did that link thing that automatically submits it

[tired lily]

googleable, not worth typing out

[silent canopy]

Admob app status is ready

[silent canopy]

Okay

That's what my log cat says

When I try to click reward ad button

[tired lily]

add a custom proguard file and make sure that class doesn't get removed

[silent canopy]

Okay

[tired lily]

https://gist.github.com/radi-cho/21f2b10372dfed98180925fcf08dfc22

this looks right

didn't you say you had test ads from the example working on your device? was that a dev build?

[silent canopy]

What's dev build? I put test ads just to check in editor then I switched to real ad and uploaded on playstore

[tired lily]

so you skipped the parts where I told you to:

1. use example ads on an actual device
2. use your actual ad units on an actual device that's configured to be in test mode
   Again, the editor means absolutely nothing. The admob sdk doesn't run in the editor, it's all fake

you can see running the actual sdk barfs immediately, from your stack trace above

[silent canopy]

Wait so I add test ad ID on my actual device?

[tired lily]

the example ad units as part of step 1, yes. Because the editor is not real, so you didn't test whether the sdk was working

[silent canopy]

Also I have to paste these on custom proguard right

[silent canopy]

Okay will do now

[tired lily]

yes. Build settings -> custom proguard file. Paste (or combine) contents

then you should see test ads on your device. When that works, make sure your device is in test mode in your admob sdk and test again with real ad units. You'll see production ads that won't get you flagged

[silent canopy]

serialize any info (scene index?) you need to disk, and load it on startup. If your data is simple, PlayerPrefs will do the job

[fallen compass]

build and istall it on your phone?

[pure apex]

thanks for the answer but i am trying to load level from the resources folder it has increase the build size it works like this there are 80 level prefabs with different modes(challenge , campaign) with gameobjects in it i am instantiating it whenever level is selected. It works good on memory. I have also tried to with scriptable object(build size is less when using scriptable and not resources) but whenever i go from one mode to another when using scriptable objects the memory usage increases. That's why i am using resources. My question is that is there another approach where I can keep my build size low and without memory leaks.

[tired lily]

anything you put in the build is going to increase its size. There is a build report that is produced that will help you find the worst offenders. As for memory usage: if you're using asynchronous scene loading, you might want to periodically call Resources.UnloadUsedAssets. Otherwise use the memory profiler and find out where you're getting leaks

[pure apex]

thanks very much for the answer

If a scriptable object is referenced in the scene if Ishift from one scene to another will that scriptable object data will still be in memory?

for example if I load the level from scriptable object play the level but when I shift the from this scene to another and set reference scriptable object to null will the data it contains still be in the memory?

[tired lily]

if you didn't destroy it? Yes. That's why I suggest the Resources call; it'll walk the object graph, find those orphaned objects that should have been destroyed, and unload them

if you're loading scenes synchronously, this should already be happening. It's pretty common to use async scene loads instead though, where it wouldn't

[amber matrix]

Friends, I'm trying to set the admob interstitial in unity. There is a reload button in the game, after pressing the button, the ad will appear first, then the stage will open. I tried to do it but without closing the interstitial the scene opens immediately. The code I wrote is as follows:

admobManager.Showads();
SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex, LoadSceneMode.Single);
PlayerController.isDeath = false;

[tired lily]

is this on editor or an actual device?

[amber matrix]

@tired lily in editor

[tired lily]

on an actual device, the admob sdk probably pauses the unity player (I use a different mediator but this would be the behavior I'd expect). In the editor nothing is real, that's why it's important to use an actual device to test your integration

[amber matrix]

@tired lily So should i try on device ?

[tired lily]

yes

[amber matrix]

@tired lily Ok thank you i will now

How can I access Android APIs from Unity and in C#. I'd need to read this function
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getFilesDir()

[tired lily]

if you don't want to write any java, use AndroidJavaClass and AndroidJavaObject. Your entry point would be the Unity player class, com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer and specifically its static field currentActivity

[proper depot]

ok, I just did a quick google search, this should work, right?

     string path;
     using (AndroidJavaClass jc = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer"))
