[sage mauve]

yeah maybe someone from unity can answer this question

cause we got no clue about it

it's not a big problem for me it's just piss me when i get gradle error when my space is low

[brazen birch]

The problem isn't asking for help, it's the self entitlement that someone isn't answering your question fast enough.

I didn't think I've ever seen a Unity employee respond to a question in the #📱┃mobile discussion

Objectively speaking, you aren't asking a question about a common issue the average person knows about.

Nor is it a problem an average person really would care about.

[sage mauve]

i don't expect fast response, but also don't want to wait months for a response

i 100% understand what u talking about

[brazen birch]

Let's check. My time, you posted a vague question at 2:39 yesterday and complained by 9:12am the next day about not being answered fast enough

[sage mauve]

maybe it's my time zone

i posted in the wrong time

bro what are you typing ... it's like 2 min now and it still get llyod is typing

[brazen birch]

No it's you demanding answers and making side comment within 24 hours of asking a question very very few people could answer.

I did read your message about midnight my time, and thought hey maybe I'll help this person out next grade build and see why it is populating that folder. As I'm probably one of the few people able to do it.

Then I saw the side comments complaining about how terrible discord is for help. And I thought, why am I even debating helping? I don't work for unity :D. And then oh my the self entitlement begins.

Believe it or not, this is not the only discord channel I'm in, and sometimes I don't reply right away 😄

At any rate, I think it's time to block and move on. Someone else can help if they want to I'm sure.

I'm done with the self entitlement

[sage mauve]

bro thank you so much i feel sorry for complaining now

[brazen birch]

No, because then as I'm trying to explain, and juggling staff asking me questions- you start making side comments about me typing too slow.

[sage mauve]

sorry for that too

we just spammed the mobile channel lol sorry mods

[brazen birch]

For me, this process is a bit different depending on your admob version and unity. Are you using the latest admob and 2022? We published another Android update a few days ago with the latest of both and can check how we handled it, if it helps.

I do remember it was not pleasant, the latest admob + unity + api changes didn't work out of the box, and I needed to install a manual gradle and android sdk

[buoyant moat]

is this only for the first game I publish or will I have to go through this for every game I want to publish?

bc my account is new

[brazen birch]

Each app and game currently

So each time

[sage mauve]

Hello, got a question about unity android build slow loading after splash screen i get a white screen for like 2sec - 6 sec i'm using unity 2020.1.1f1 and vuforia
i've tried to do an empty scene but got same problem and doing a boostrapper didn't solve this problem
i've enabled vuforia delay init and got fast loading about 1sec - 2 sec, so is it related to vuforia or just unity ?

[buoyant moat]

Oh no 😫

[brazen birch]

Only for newer personal accounts currently

If you switch to a business account it definitely will go away, but they also ask for certificates of the company now etc.

[buoyant moat]

Also I have another question regarding admob I am afraid of getting the bad traffic ban thing should I put a limit on how many ads a user can watch per min?

to avoid ban

or no need

[brazen birch]

Right now they are asking old accounts to provide IDs and tax identification. But I'm very surprised they don't have the same restrictions yet

[brazen birch]

It's definitely a risk, right now we don't have the limit in our games, but we slow down how often they can see them by about 10 minutes between

But the risk is there. A competitor or someone malicious theoretically, could also spam the ads to try and get you into trouble too

[buoyant moat]

ill for sure keep that in mind then, thank you!

[brazen birch]

I'd definitely put at least a timer between, just as a precaution. That way if you do go over it's a few extra ads, not someone spamming 50

There are other games I've seen though that use multiple ad mediations, and rotating between them

[buoyant moat]

thats one way of doing it

[brazen birch]

But it's hard enough getting one working properly:D

[buoyant moat]

its so sad to realize that making a game is one thing, and then publishing and ads and marketing is a whole other world, exhausting. I just wanna make games🤣

[brazen birch]

Yeah I was not quite joking with the team this morning about pulling the ads from our mobile games and just making it company and game updates for our own stuff

[buoyant moat]

If only games could market themselves.

[rain leaf]

according to this, only new account
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/14151465?hl=en

[brazen birch]

Yes, their question was if it is needed for every single app and game made going forward using that account (and the answer is yes)

[haughty escarp]

Yes, we are using latest AdMob and Unity 2022.3.14f1, and we are confused about the new Google that will start on January. Do we have to add their own consent solution or a custom traditional way like other games until now?

[lavish bolt]

do i still need a mac or something to release a game in apple store?

[brazen birch]

Yup

Or macincloud etc

[lavish bolt]

thats shit :d

[open laurel]

Apple ecosystem

[lavish bolt]

Yea… unfortunately I have a iPhone so I can’t even release a mobile game for android

[open laurel]

yo, android is cheap. $100 for your lifetime

[lavish bolt]

hahahaah

[open laurel]

you are based on US?

[lavish bolt]

USA?

[open laurel]

yea

[lavish bolt]

nope im from germany

[open laurel]

ok better then, xiaomi could do the job for you

*not an advice

[lavish bolt]

Yes i know there are many cheap androids out there with good perfomence buuuuuut i dont want to buy them because i have a phone hahahah

but if i want to make mobile games i need to

i mean i can test my game on the unity app on apple store

[open laurel]

you have to buy a lot of mobile phones if you are bulding mobile, no kidding.

Because mobile phone is weak, I have 3 phones. weak, weak-medium, medium-end.

the time I test my weak phones, a lot of games cannot run properly on it 😄

unless its a AAA company such as supercell (brawl stars), riot games (LoL)

indie games, dont hope they even ran on my phone, because they have poor optimization

[lavish bolt]

bro ahahaha I just started learning c# and unity so maybe at first i should stay on pc games ahahha

[open laurel]

great path

[lavish bolt]

you seem to be a experience dev?

[open laurel]

cant say myself, but I had shoot myself in the foot couple of times

[lavish bolt]

just say that you know what youre doing hahaha

[open laurel]

mobile -> have to manage SDKs, plugin, Input cames from UI, complex UI Scaling, performance,wide range compatibility.

[lavish bolt]

okay i dont know any of these

hahaha

[open laurel]

just stick to PC for like 2 games, then you should kinda strong to go mobile

[lavish bolt]

okay thanks for your advice 🙂

[latent violet]

Hey guys... Quick question for the mobile devs who port to play store, there's a play console new policy about verification of account and there happens to be a deadline which you can set.. But does this apply to personal account type?... I wanna know cuz right now my account is on organization even tho it's just me but am planning to switch to personal that's why i wanna know now if the verification also applies to personal account type or just for organization type.. Thanks

[brazen birch]

My understanding is for both. Personal accounts need to provide ID etc. Corporate accounts just needs our corporate registration stuff. I'm expecting after that for older personal accounts to get the same 20 user test requirement

I tried to get our verification in at the earliest date, just because it's an annoyance. But it'll be interesting to see how this impacts store apps. Between required API updates (that by default doesn't even work with their own admob), 20 user tests on personal accounts, new data and ad permission requirements, then locking down unverified accounts, it's going to drastically change what's in the store I think

[latent violet]

TBH... It's gonna be bizarre

Am planning on switching platforms cuz so far... There's no hope in play store at this rate and the fact they do things most times automatedly is just annoying e.g suspension of app and no valid reason or why

Play store to me is dead.... I'll try out my hands of IOS App store and I hope things get well over there cuz alot of people are advising me to focus there rather than play store

[brazen hazel]

does it work good .. for ios build?

[brazen birch]

We have apple devices, and I haven't used it in about 12 years. At the time though it was certainly usable.

You usually zip project -> Google drive -> log into macincloud -> unpack and build

You'll need to setup xcode and all that fun stuff the first time though

[limber jungle]

Hi. I want to use the camera app of the phone to capture photos instead of implementing it inside the app and using the photo immediately after the capture. does anyone know how to do it?

These are my steps:

1. Open Android device Camera from your Unity app.
2. Capture Image.
3. Preview captured image
4. Callback function called with captured image file path after completed camera operations.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Windows.Media.Capture;
using Windows.Storage;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class CameraCapture : MonoBehaviour
{
    private PhotoCapture photoCaptureObject = null;

    void Start()
    {
        // Create a new instance of the PhotoCapture class
        PhotoCapture.CreateAsync(false, OnPhotoCaptureCreated);
    }

    void OnPhotoCaptureCreated(PhotoCapture captureObject)
    {
        // Store a reference to the PhotoCapture object
        photoCaptureObject = captureObject;

        // Create a new CameraParameters object
        CameraParameters cameraParameters = new CameraParameters();
        cameraParameters.hologramOpacity = 0.0f;
        cameraParameters.cameraResolutionWidth = 1024;
        cameraParameters.cameraResolutionHeight = 1024;
        cameraParameters.pixelFormat = CapturePixelFormat.BGRA32;

        // Capture a photo asynchronously
        photoCaptureObject.StartPhotoModeAsync(cameraParameters, OnPhotoModeStarted);
    }

    void OnPhotoModeStarted(PhotoCapture.PhotoCaptureResult result)
    {
        // Check if the photo mode was successfully started
        if (result.success)
        {
            // Create a new StorageFile object
            string filename = string.Format("CapturedImage{0}.jpg", Time.time);
            string filePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, filename);
            StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(filePath);

            // Capture a photo asynchronously and save it to disk
            photoCaptureObject.TakePhotoAsync(file, OnCapturedPhotoToDisk);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Unable to start photo mode!");
        }
    }

    void OnCapturedPhotoToDisk(PhotoCapture.PhotoCaptureResult result)
    {
        // Check if the photo was successfully captured and saved to disk
        if (result.success)
        {
            // Call your callback function here with the captured image file path
            string filePath = result.resultFile.path;
            YourCallbackFunction(filePath);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Unable to capture photo to disk!");
        }

        // Stop the photo mode
        photoCaptureObject.StopPhotoModeAsync(OnStoppedPhotoMode);
    }

    void OnStoppedPhotoMode(PhotoCapture.PhotoCaptureResult result)
    {
        // Dispose of the PhotoCapture object
        photoCaptureObject.Dispose();
        photoCaptureObject = null;
    }

    void YourCallbackFunction(string filePath)
    {
        // Your code here
    }
}

probably this is the solution.

[wicked thistle]

Hello. Is anyone able to help me Gradle?

[brazen birch]

Best to post the error / log 🙂

[wicked thistle]

So, I must have put the zip64=true in the right place, I hope, cause I'm getting this error: * What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'Gradle'.

Could not find method shadowJar() for arguments [build_3v985ozfhyh23p6tkrrcsbrwd$_run_closure2@6bfb6ac6] on root project 'Gradle' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

I dl'ed the shadowjar plugin, but now I don't know what to do with it or if i'm even going down the right road.

The whole thing started with the error during build about 'archive's size exceeds the limit of 4GByte" thus I had to activate the shadowjar zip64=true which lead me to the error above.

[brazen birch]

Hmm, if it's over 4GB, that's a definite problem.

Ah that's why you are going to zip64

I'm assuming it is the streaming assets?

The downside is Google will also reject the APK for being oversized (if submitting to google).

[wicked thistle]

So being the game is going over 4GB is bad to start with. What is usually causing this? The number of assets, the size of textures/materials?

[brazen birch]

I know the official answer is asset bundles. But yeah hacking gradle to do bigger archives may work

[brazen birch]

Definitely assets

[wicked thistle]

Well, I def don't want to 'hack' anything. It told me there was an error and I was trying to fix it.

[brazen birch]

Google will block apks > 100mb. And will allow OBB files < 2GB

[brazen birch]

No no, it's a good work around, it's not meant in a negative context

The right answer is going to be finding all the assets, and combining them down to asset bundles / addressibles. But 4GB is very large. So I'm wondering if some files aren't compressing.

I have to done this in a few months, but you could manually run gradle with the zip64.

[wicked thistle]

No, that's ok, thanks. Solo game building is extreme enough without all this behind the scenes stuff. I just want to hit the build button and have it work the way it should.

I personally think gradle causes more problems then it solves. My game used to compile fine before they implimented it.

[wicked thistle]

You're talking about the asset folder right? Its currently sitting at 5GB.

[fallen compass]

Yes, all of those. Do a build, then look at the editor log to see a big list of everything that is in the build, ordered nicely by file size

[warm isle]

Hello!
How can i make my game fit to scren resolution but keep the pixel ratio?
Ex: if i have a 16:9 pixel ratio, but my screen is 2080x1080p(which is 130x16 X 120x9. I want it to scale to 120 pixels on each axis, but if one side is bigger to change the camera size, not stretch it

[brazen birch]

The camera won't stretch but will fill. You can either override the display ratio on the camera by changing the view port scales, or add black borders via UI

At least that's how I'd tackle it. The phone won't allow you to change the actual screen resolution, so you'll have to fake it

A simple example is to use a layout group, and set only the middle panel size. Let the rest be black and auto scale. That would automatically lock in a specific aspect ratio and blackout the rest. Just keep in mind you'll need other UIs to follow that rule

I should note as well I've always done this through code, but I cant see why a layout group wouldn't work

[sonic otter]

I use a canvas scaler set to scale with screen size (set my reference res to 1920:1080) which kinda sets your aspect ratio. Then match to height on everything

[fallen compass]

That's only going to affect the UI, not the actual game

[sonic otter]

oh derp, misread that

[mental trench]

i've been getting this error in the console for few days. i've tried to fix the gradle deamon issue inside my main project and even took help from chatgpt and bard but couldn't fix it. i then created a brand new project just to check if there's anything wrong with my unity itself so i created a new mobile 2d project and added android adaptive performance, then added a new project keystore and tried to build it (i had aab file selected too) and the build failed with this one too that you can see on the console screenshots. When i want to get only the apk to check the game on my phone the build works well and i get the apk but when i want to get the aab and publish this happens.

[turbid narwhal]

Read the other errors too, they sometimes give way more information.

[mental trench]

yeah right im looking into it

[plain stream]

Hi. I'm having repeating issue with building apk for unity android that would work with Firebase.

[midnight musk]

anyone know of what may cause an android app to crash load specifically for android 14 from the play store?
Currently on editor 2021.3.7f1, tired using API level 33 & 34, both having the same crash.

trying to install an android 14 emulator to test right now because none of my test devices currently are available to install android 14

[buoyant moat]

Hello, how much limit is recommended to set, In order to avoid the traffic violation thing from google ad mob, and also is it better to limit ads from google ad mob or from Unity?

my game is a platformer game. Every time the player dies twice an interstitial ad is shown, and every time he dies he is offered to watch a rewarded ad to be revived
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luigigames.goingup2dplatformer&hl=en_US

[full pagoda]

@umarhyatt scroll above already solved this problem

[mental trench]

Brother, if you have a minute. So could you please connect to my computer via remotedesktop.google.com as I can't set it up. Of course, if there is free time to help.

[midnight musk]

If anyone else ends up searching here because they have the same issue, I fixed it by disabling "Optimize Frame Pacing" which is absolutely insane that it fixes the issue.

[full pagoda]

Too bad you didn't see it.

[haughty escarp]

Hello, @buoyant moat! We're getting crazier than ever with Google AdMob. A few days ago everything seemed to be working fine, but now we are getting some errors in Logcat en no ads shown! Here's the log:

"Code": 3,
"Message": "No fill.",
"Domain": "com.google.android.gms.ads",
"Cause": "null",
"Response Info": {
"Response ID": "null",
"Mediation Adapter Class Name": "",
"Adapter Responses": [],
"Response Extras": {
"mediation_group_name": "Rewarded_Android_Mediation"

Here's the line where it fails: InterstitialAd.Load(adUnitInterstitialId, new AdRequest(), LoadInterstitial);

We get this after loading the ad on app's first initialization

LoadInterstitial -> LoadAdError error

[buoyant moat]

I was updating my game and I am getting so many errors I didn't figure them out yet I'll let you know if anything comes up

But your error is different than mine

[haughty escarp]

Errors on Ads too (in your case)?

[buoyant moat]

At first I had a gradle error after updating google ads sdk, then i just deleted android folder resolved and all was good then unity is giving me a burst error

No my error isn't ads

[tired lily]

no fill is a common one, just means there aren't any ads available. You'll see this frequently for low value users. Implement some delay (exponential backoff) before you retry loading

[haughty escarp]

We use some interstitial ads at some points of the game and rewarded as well. If there’s no ads available, it is not supposed that Google will provide some?

[tired lily]

no fill means you asked Google for an ad, and nobody is willing to pay you to show the user one at that time. It happens a lot for low value users, but it can also happen because of ad exhaustion or suspected fraud

[haughty escarp]

And how can we rise our value or end with that ad exhaustion or suspected fraud? Our implementation of ads is not available to users yet because it’s an upcoming update

[tired lily]

you can't. Most ad networks provide a developer flag, test mode, or special ad testing ad unit ids you can use

but you should plan to handle this error gracefully because it'll show up a lot

[haughty escarp]

How would you handle it? 🙏🏻

[tired lily]

wait 2^(failed_tries_in_a_row) seconds and then try loading another ad

[rain leaf]

use ads mediation maybe?

[haughty escarp]

Yes, we are using Google AdMob Mediation

[limber merlin]

Hey, whats the best way to scale down game resolution (lets say to make it 0,5 of original size) so that it only affects rendering of 3d objects but does not affect ui?

[rain leaf]

Not sure if the best way, but you can use lowres camera rendertexture, and display it using upscaled canvas rawimage

[dusty willow]

So can you just not build to IOS(to iphone) on windows?? I'm baffled how anybody releases to iphone on windows

[rain leaf]

afaik, you can only build to iOS using xcode, and xcode only available on macOS

[haughty escarp]

We’ve received this message about Data Safety form on Google Play Console

Does anyone now how to solve it? The app got rejected due to this

[haughty escarp]

Any idea @buoyant moat @tired lily?

[tired lily]

it sounds like your data safety form is wrong. Those ad networks collect data on your users

[brazen birch]

Correct! And yes it annoying:D. You can get by with servers like macincloud (we use Mac minis)

[dusty willow]

ooooof thanks

[latent violet]

Hey guys, pls how do i update android sdk to latest ones... I my project... It's capped at android 11 and my device is at Android 13...so how to update it, am on unity 2021.1.24f1

[buoyant moat]

I was getting a "admob publisher data not found" error, after so many tries, I just removed the ID's of the app, and the ad Unit's and then added them again and that semes to work
I used this script for logging which helped me find the error instead of android logicat https://github.com/gportelli/UnityScreenLogger/blob/064252aba5c7169a0d3d5cbdbc59c386d9085dd7/Assets/ScreenLogger/ScreenLogger.cs
I hope that is your case for ads not showing

I used this video to make the thing for app-ads-text thing for admob https://youtu.be/NaNM72ZPUPY?si=N_YRErCGTJ6mhW_V and for the GDPR consent thing for EU I used this video https://youtu.be/pJPN2QWFSfg?si=lsGwtT4bbU_n3t3-

and everything worked out fine

[onyx kettle]

My IAP button works correctly. As far as I can tell, my restore button is also set up correctly.
However, hundreds of customers are reporting that when they re-download my game, they lose their in-app purchase and the restore button does nothing. I just deleted my game from my iPhone and reinstalled it - sure enough, the IAP is missing and the restore button doesn't work. If I click the purchase button again, it asks if I want to buy the IAP again.
I'm going a little crazy here, and my game is now flooded with 1 star reviews from angry customers. I feel terrible. If someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated!
Please let me know if there's more info I can provide. Thanks so much!

[tired lily]

what type of IAP is it? Restore isn't for consumable purchases so the fact there's a consume purchase checkbox in your screenshot is probably the start of bad news for you

[rain leaf]

If you implemented consumable IAP purchase, you should also implement Cloud Save too, so player wont lose their saved data (and purchased goods) when they install your game on another device

[onyx kettle]

It's non-consumable. The "consume purchase" checkbox means that the IAP is "used" after the customer purchases it.

Apparently the Restore button works for some of my customers, but not others. It doesn't work for me

[brazen birch]

These look like custom scripts under those buttons. So not enough info to help. But I'd start by seeing what the debug log says when you click the button and the reason why it is giving you the message. Is the app store saying the inapp wasn't purchased? If it's a nonconsumable the app store should tell you itself it was already purchased and not let you do it a second time. The sdk and platform you are seeing the issue on may matter as well.

[haughty escarp]

Are you implementing that with Economy?

We've succesfully done the implementation between Economy, Unity IAP and Google Play Store (Android)

But it's getting crazy on iOS, because we don't know how to validate the receipts

Documentation is not helping...

Does someone has a workaround for this?

[dusty willow]

question for y’all. what’s the oldest mac i could go with for iphone builds? reaching out to friends for old mac desktops/macbooks under the assumption that it doesn’t have to be atleast a certain year

[river roost]

@dusty willow you will need to be able to run a certain xcode version which will require a certain OS version. So best check what the current requirements for that are.

[dusty willow]

I see. haven't found a good resource on that. This post references macbook 2017. https://forum.unity.com/threads/oldest-mac-device-for-ios-build.1516442/
There's also this on the asset store but apparently you need to use on a mac one time before it will work.
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/ios-project-builder-for-windows-15522

Do ya'll just have a windows and a mac or what do you do? Just release for one?

I'm sure this is a popular rookie topic but I'm curious what you guys do

[haughty escarp]

If someone has worked with IAP for iOS, we'll appreciate any help regarding Receipt Validation 🙏🏻

[brazen birch]

The devices go out of date all the time, so there really isn't a list. Usually xcode requires the latest OS. So if it doesn't support the latest OS you are out of luck.

We can't use apple devices day to day. We do a lot of XR and apple just can't be used for VR.

In our case the team mostly has windows i9 / 3080 or some variant. Then we have a bunch of newer Macminis and MacBooks that they have just for apple builds. We only have a handful of team members that actually do builds, so the apple things are only needed by 3 or 4 people

But for most people, macincloud works early on, or a lower cost Mac mini

Get one too old and you are out of luck. Get one kinda old and you'll be out of luck in 3 to 6 months or so.

[tired lily]

you'd need to provide some detail on what's not working. Local or remote validation?

[dusty willow]

Thanks for the info. Macincloud is new to me.. can you use that to get an iphone build to your phone?

[brazen birch]

I haven't used it in about 10 years, so I can't advise much. But it is much harder than having devices on hand.

[rain leaf]

I've 'done' this in the past (like 5+ years ago) so maybe it's unrelevant now, but the reliable way to validate receipt on iOS is via backend validation, not sure how it's exactly done since the backend guy did it though 😅

[grizzled tangle]

Hi, I start working on a game but I'm struggling to set up the External tools. I have these errors and I don't know how to solve them can someone help me please? I tried everything from the internet nothing seems to work, my unity version si 2022.3.5f1

[grizzled tangle]

is there someone that can help?

[haughty escarp]

We're trying to accomplish the App Store's validation with Economy (Unity Gaming Services), but the purchase does not get validated when we test it with TestFlight

[haughty escarp]

Hi, Kornuletz! Please check the Android version you are targeting to, and check if those versions have been installed. This has been an issue for weeks, and I think starting Unity 2022.3.15 has been solved (but i'm not sure)

We decided to build from a Mac instead of Windows and we got it

This is the error that we get, @tired lily

And this is what is included in the documentation:

We've tried appleTransactionReceiptBase64, appleTransactionReceipt and purchaseEvent.purchasedProduct.receipt... but nothing works

The response expected (as documentation says) must be like this:

Not a JSON, it's an ASN.1 with other format

public PurchaseProcessingResult ProcessPurchase(PurchaseEventArgs purchaseEvent) {
string appleTransactionReceipt = default;

if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.IPhonePlayer ||
    Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.tvOS) {

How do we have to integrate this using Economy?

[grizzled tangle]

I don't understand at all the last question

[grizzled tangle]

@haughty escarp not working is there a unity version that has no problem with these settings because I'm sick of trying to fix this and still doesn't work

[haughty escarp]

The question is for another user 😅

[grizzled tangle]

oki 😄

[haughty escarp]

Not sure about that…

[tired lily]

We don't use economy (we use our own backend), but one gotcha was that there are different endpoints for prod and sandbox validation. Does Economy use them both? you can't tell the different based on the receipt only, so you have to try prod and if it fails there, you try sandbox

[haughty escarp]

Economy has its own environments (Production and Development) and we have tried them both, but we are not sure if it’s using both endpoints. How did you get to that endpoints? Any extra info will help a lot 🙏🏻

[tired lily]

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get_transaction_info. Economy seems a bit light on documentation for how it's doing validation so it might just be a configuration issue on your end. But you can make a call directly here with your transaction id to make sure it's working, and that should narrow things down at least

[haughty escarp]

But… if Economy does not process the purchase, it is not valid, I guess…

[tired lily]

Maybe the flow is different for you? But in ours, it's like this:

1. Unity IAP to make the purchase. Receive a transaction id. Purchase is pending
2. Validate locally
3. Validate remotely with the app store endpoints above
4. Confirm the purchase in the app once validation is successful. There's a lot happening for us since we have our own infrastructure, but essentially we're rewarding the player with their purchase
   It looks like maybe the last 3 steps are done for you based on the docs, but you should still be able to snag that transaction id and verify manually yourself. You can probably get more detailed info about what went wrong if it fails, in case Unity's solution is giving you a misleading error

Hi Guys!
I am using Ironsourse Mediation with admob ad network and I want to integrate CMP. what is the best and easy to integrate sdk for cmp in unity3d?

[loud peak]

Hey

I am building a game in unity for ios and android and the game has googleads which works fine in android but when i build it for ios then unity doesn't generate framwork files of googleads in xcode build

adding googleads sdk manually in framework gives errors

and i have also changed unity version and googleads version

nothing works

i compile the xcode project file of my game with unity 2019.4.15f in my windows then i try to build the game with xcode files in mac.
and btw unity 2019 has too many bugs in mac so i can't use it in mac.

[buoyant moat]

hello everyone, a little silly question but where do we reward the player here?

[buoyant moat]

I figured it out its here

[indigo elbow]

does someone how to fix this? i was building mobile game and i always have this

[iron acorn]

Share error details.

[indigo elbow]

I think is those

[iron acorn]

Details...

You know you can click the error and there would be more text at the bottom, right?

[indigo elbow]

Oh

[indigo elbow]

this is a long one

[brazen birch]

I'm not sure how you are going to fix this. But the API target 33 needs you to accept the license terms, and you can't really from Unity

[indigo elbow]

is not fixable?

[brazen birch]

No it's not that. It's fixable

But very hard to explain over discord

[indigo elbow]

you can tell me how to fix instead of explaining

[brazen birch]

The best way, is to install Android Studio. From there you can use Window > Android SDK (there are two toggles, one for the SDK and one for the build tools). I'd install API 33, and 34 from there to a custom folder (I.e. C:\dev\android\sdk.

That will let you bypass all the Unity command line installers for sdks and build tools and future proof you.

Then in Unity you need to go into the Editor preferences. Copy the old SDK path in case you ever need it, and point it at your manually installed SDKs.

[brazen birch]

Sorry for the slow response, on my phone :D. But that'll let you bypass Unity and use a nice GUI to manually manage all those versions going forward.

As you get comfortable with ADB, it'll also let you install, manage and work with your android phone more directly

You can use it for all kinds of things, retrieving files, device logs, managing versions, Checking manifest files and signing keys etc.

But more immediately it'll let you install SDK 33 and 34 and get a nice gui if there is an error

Tldr; manually install the SDK

[indigo elbow]

in hub?

[brazen birch]

No, that is for Unity. I'd manually install Android Studio from its website and bypass the Unity installer

[indigo elbow]

ok

[brazen birch]

Basically, Unity installs the Android SDK behind the scenes. But it does it silently, so if it breaks or misbehaves it is tricky to fix it...

So my advice is to bypass that and install the actual
Android Studio so you can manage the SDks yourself.

It's very quick to do if you know how, but a lot harder when you don't, and just hard to explain well over discord

[indigo elbow]

@brazen birch

[brazen birch]

Yup that's OK

[indigo elbow]

what should i choose?

hello?

[brazen birch]

You don't have an existing version to import from, so just hit OK

[indigo elbow]

don't send?

ok i already click one

[brazen birch]

It doesn't really matter what you pick for any of these tbh

[indigo elbow]

ok

[brazen birch]

Once it's done, and launches, you want to go Window > Android SDK I believe

[indigo elbow]

how long is this?

or should i cancel it?

@brazen birch so i did cancelled it and i got it

[brazen birch]

Sorry, busy household over here. I can't remember what option you need to pick to get past that screen.

It may have been customize but that's just the what do you want to do wizard screen.

[indigo elbow]

God damnit ok maybe I should watch a tutorial or something with this

[indigo elbow]

so i downloaded 2021 version of unity and i got these errors

[burnt nexus]

#🤖┃ai-navigation

[indigo elbow]

@burnt nexus

[burnt nexus]

No clue, never used Gradle

Better wait for someone else to help

[indigo elbow]

does someone know how to fix this error?

this is unity 2023

[burnt nexus]

AssetRipper Games..?

[indigo elbow]

oh yeah

i use that app to make my projects

i mean program

anyway the error says about like il2cpp

that i don't want to add that

[burnt nexus]

Do you have il2cpp in your project or are you using Mono as your backend?

[indigo elbow]

mono

[burnt nexus]

Prolly not the cause of the error but could try changing it to il2cpp

[indigo elbow]

what

are you sure?

[burnt nexus]

They will be able to mod it, albeit maybe they'll have to deobfuscate it more

But you should still try changing it to see if it's the source of the issue

[indigo elbow]

how can i change mono to il2cpp

to fix this

[burnt nexus]

Also a quick side note: il2cpp builds take quite a bit longer so

[burnt nexus]

Go to Build Settings and open the platform you want to change the backend of. Go to the Advanced (or sumn) tab and scroll until you find the Scripting Backend option

Or a Google search will also do

[burnt nexus]

"Player Settings" in the bottom

[indigo elbow]

ok

[burnt nexus]

I'll go now so if you need help still you can google/wait for others to answer

Gl on fixing this pesky bug

[indigo elbow]

ok

[iron acorn]

You need to start sharing error details properly... Copy paste the error details as a code snippet or upload it to a paste site if it's too long.

Hi. I'm having trouble enabling v-sync for Android Platform. I tried a few methods, but all seem to be unsuccessful.. Can I get some sort of guidance on enabling VSync? Any solution or advice would appreciate it.
I can also tell methods I tried enabing v-sync:

Player Settings > Quality > VSync Count = Every V Blank
Through scripting: QualitySettings.vSyncCount = 1

[frozen vapor]

This server does not allow decompiling/modding questions.

[indigo elbow]

Fine

[glossy sluice]

[tired lily]

did you read the docs for vSyncCount?

[glossy sluice]

I have and I am aware vSync count is ignored on mobile devices, but I know certain unity mobile games that have vsync activated and works perfectly fine

[glossy sluice]

I guess that's what you reffered to

hope I am not mistaken

[tired lily]

so you saw the reference to using https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-targetFrameRate.html on that page where it mentions vSyncCount doesn't work for mobile devices, right?

[thorny vault]

Could anyone clear my doubts? I'm trying to implement Unity Ads, but I follow everything step by step but the banner only loads in unity, when I test it on the emulator or on my cell phone it says that it was not possible to load the banner. However, the app has an internet connection working properly. Link to the tutorial I followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seTvVkaU2dk&ab_channel=Mir

[wicked zealot]

Did you follow a tutorial or something? Both tasks say that they couldn't find the IronSource Mediation SDK.
I've only ever used IronSource once, to test it out, but I didn't run into that problem

[latent violet]

Hello guys... Pls i need help, does anyone have any template or CSV that already have all data setup for Data safety in play console?

Play store said I need to setup my data safety and I don't have any clue on that, my game has ads and they said since my game has ads, I need to set up the data safety but am told I should ask for a already made template or CSV setup... So pls if anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate

[half lake]

Hello! I had a game in the play store that got removed for causes that I don't fully understand. I asked quite a time ago here what was the issue, and we came with the result that the problem was that I was using a sdk from unity ads which collects persistent device identifiers. I removed everything about the ads from my game, but something's still there not letting me upload it again. Here I'll upload some screenshots from the message that google sent me, thanks fro the time.

[tired lily]

do you have unity ads or any aar's related to Unity ads in your project at all?

[vestal heron]

hi, can someone tell me what's the best way to track a user's location at all times, so that if they go near a certain location, I can send them a notification?(for android)

[half lake]

I removed everything about ads and it still said that, even tried to create a new project and copy the assets folder, and nothing. I don't really know what a aar means, I'm kinda new into this 😅

[tired lily]

your images are from the review process, nothing should be "blocking upload" or you'd have nothing to send to review

[brazen birch]

I wouldn't use Unity for it. But a background service checking the GPS location periodically - you may not be allowed to do that in a background service - you may need special permission from google / apple for that. You'll need to disclose the tracking in your data form and if storing it they will ask you to explain how a user can request deletion. Finally, you'll need to recheck permissions and keep battery use absolutely low - over time the GPS permission will get removed by the OS, and if you use too much battery it will terminate it.

[mild warren]

using gpgs and opening a saved game for the first time will throw success for opening and give me an empty file or an error?

[rain leaf]

iirc, it will give success, but the best way to find out is to test it yourself

[snow prism]

hello everyone,

i want to my unity project (included firebase and photon fusion) build to iOS platform. first i solved "'GoogleSignIn/GIDSignIn.h' file not found" error, after that occur new error on XCode 15. This error is "Framework 'FBLPromises' not found". How can i solve this?

[snow prism]

#📱┃mobile

[restive aspen]

Try to download the googlesignin framework from https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/ios/sdk/

Extract the zip file. there this two files drag and drop in your xcode project's Frameworks folder. Then project clean and build.

• GoogleSignIn.framwork
• GoogleSignInDependencies.framework

don’t cross post tho

[snow prism]

"FBLPromises not found" error i cant solve this.

[restive aspen]

try to open podfile and then type pod Promises

to open podfile: open Podfile in the directory of your project

[cyan rose]

Hello i have those errors that appear suddently in my project when i try to build it to android, in the past i could build it without problems but now it fails everytime even if i change versions of unity, can someone please tell me how to fix this issue?

[brazen birch]

You'll need to click on the error message with the 4 in it, and read through the body of the message to find the problem. All that says is it failed to build

[latent violet]

Do you have Java Jdk installed?

[cyan rose]

It's says that it's a problem related to gradle that my current version is not compatible, which is really strange because I didn't change anything related to it

[cyan rose]

Yes JDK is installed

[latent violet]

@cyan rose try building again with good internet connection, it may help in updating or downloading the gradle

[edgy gulch]

just renewed my apple developer membership and 🫠

whenever i hit account it redirects me here

[brazen birch]

I manually manage my android sdk and gradle outside of unity - which does fix those errors, but is a lot more work

[half lake]

So i just wait?

[tired lily]

no, you need to be clearer about what's going on. If "not letting me upload it again" means you can upload it, then submit it to the review store and it got rejected, you should say that

[lost magnet]

Hey everyone! I'm new to the Discord. Anyone have any good advice for getting your first iOS game up on the app store? Is there a good checklist (I've seen the official one and this one from Buildfire seems comprehensive enough):

But more generally if anyone has gone through this before and has any tips/advice or pitfalls that the listacles like this may not capture, I'd love to hear. Thanks

Hi, guys! We’re still integrating In-app purchases into our iOS game, because everything has worked fine in Android

We are currently facing this error “EconomyAppleAppStorePurchaseFailedException: The product ID specified in the configuration does not match the product ID specified in the receipt”

Hello guys, I'm testing my game on Android 13 (API level 33)
And I see that when I tap the back button, it doesn't respond most of the time (meaning that I have to tap it multiple times)

        // Make sure user is on Android platform
        if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android) {

Do anyone knows how to solve these gradle build error:

[queen kayak]

Hi guys, i´m trying to export my game to android, however i´m having issues with exporting, i´ve tried installing a custom sdk, jdk, gradle and ndk instead of the ones unity provides but an error pops up always "Failed to update AndroidSDK package list. See the console for details" This error pops up when i use the custom SDK i installed in android studio, when i use Unity´s built in SDK it pops up the "Gradle build failed" error, i´ve been trying non-stop since yesterday, but i can´t seem to solve this issues, is there anything i can do to solve this? i´m using Unity 2022.3.10f1, but i´ve also tried with Unity 2021.3.33f1 and Unity 2022.3.16f1 and i still get the same errors

[worldly pumice]

what ads you use? Max, Ironsource, admob . . . or what ? do you use firebase? if yes, what is it version?

[queen kayak]

i use Unity ADS, and i don´t use firebase

when i use unity´s built in SDK it gives me these errors

[worldly pumice]

nvm, i have no exp with Unity ads SDK, sr 😂

[queen kayak]

oh.. D:

[urban moon]

i have the same error and im using iron source 7.7.0 + firebase 11.6 + playgames 0.11.01 (latest)

i have manually cleared the plugins folder and resolved now on build i get duplicates for kotlin

org.jetbrains.kotlin.kotlin-stdlib-jdk7-1.6.0
org.jetbrains.kotlin.kotlin-stdlib-jdk8-1.6.0
org.jetbrains.kotlin.kotlin-stdlib-1.8.0```
Edit: it works when i remove 1.6.0 before each build

All I could find online and reading documentation was to use: TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput = true;
wich seems simple enought haha, but for some reason is not working for me! The preview field keeps popping on my game and I don't really understand why
I have put this line globaly at the begining of the game, not sure if I am missing something.. Has anyone achived this successfully?

[fallen compass]

Photos are a really stupid way to provide info when asking for help, especially when they're as poorly taken as this atrocity.

Either screenshot the console, or just copy and paste the text (first into google..)

[fallen compass]

The TMP inputfield component has a field to disable it, doesn't need to be done via code

[obtuse turtle]

I am not using TMP! I am using the uiToolkit, but maybe there is someting similar, ill look around

[fallen compass]

Ah, I haven't touched that, as it's not got feature parity... hopefully it has something similar

[tired lily]

so what error do you get when uploading? you can't even get to the first screenshot unless you've uploaded a build and google can scan through the bundle files

[dusty willow]

[rain leaf]

you mean it still get rejected? I read somewhere that you've created a new project and copied the asset folder and it still rejected. Does the asset folder include plugin folder which might also contains unity ads plugin? If its so, it might be the cause why your games still get rejected

Hello Guys , I am facing a problem in developing my runner game for mobile, and this problem is that I want to make a generator for infinite levels that do not end, like runner games, so that you know more about the thing I mean. I mean, I do not want to make infinite tiles. I just want to make a generator that creates stages. Whenever you complete a stage, he gives you another stage, but with different things, meaning the obstacle will be in a different place, and the money is in a different place, and so on, and I want automatically. I mean, whenever you complete a stage, he gives you another different stage, and changes the number of the stage or the number of the stage. For example, when I finish one stage, they are given a stage. Randomly, he writes number two and notes: I never want the stages to be the same.

would it be recommended installing the "ads mediation" (com.unity.services.levelplay) package when using external iron source sdk already ?

[elder wren]

Has anyone encountered this while trying to install a .apk file?

[reef stratus]

Hey is is listed anywhere what versions of Unity support what Android API levels? I want to target the max api level (33 afaik) but I also want to use the oldest version of Unity possible (im updating an old project)

[latent violet]

Bruh💀... Are you for real?

[elder wren]

wym?

omfg...

wait i thought it was "cancel install"... y tf are the "cancel" and "install" buttons so close to each other? 😂

[latent violet]

That's why i was laughing 😂

That's how it is

[buoyant moat]

I really recommend sticking with admob mediation since level play is still new and has so many bugs I tried countless times to try to get it working and failed

[urban moon]

for me it actually works after 5 days of try harding useing unity 2022.3 + firebase + iron source + google play games. But i wonder whats about that package, its not mentioned anywhere and what is it about

[buoyant moat]

Thats great, Ill give it a try sometime then

[urban moon]

i wouldnt recommend tough

as i have to manually remove 2 files before each build

xD

[buoyant moat]

Lol

[urban moon]

thats also the reason im asking if i should have used that package instead of iron source sdk

[harsh hedge]

Currently working on a smol unity game for a uni project, and I would like for it to be run after pressing a button in a regular android studio activity, but I've had diffculty even finding guides that explain it, as none of them go over how to add them to an existinf android project. Does anyone happen to know how this would be done?

So far I've seen that you can export an apk, or export it as an android studio project. But I'm unsure how you can go from that to putting it on an existing project

[tired lily]

start with the example
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/uaal-example/blob/master/docs/android.md

[harsh hedge]

just realised, it says it requires unity 2023, when I'm on 2022. Will it straight up not work otherwise?

I can do the whole exporting and loading it up in android studio so i'd hope the rest works

so when you export it, everything above the unityLibrary folder can be whatever already exists within the app, but you only need the unityLibrary copied over from what you export?

this is taken from an article on medium btw, not my own just yet

[harsh hedge]

following it and ended up getting this which is a bit annoying

or rather, this seems to lead to that I think

[tired lily]

where does it say that? there are branches for 2019-2021 LTS and the docs say "starting with 2019.3"

I haven't done this myself btw, just read about it

[harsh hedge]

just says this

but it seems to be working for me anyways

besides this error above

[tired lily]

the very next line is [Note] For Unity versions from 2019.3.0b4 to 2022.2.0a17 use 19LTS-21LTS branch. For Unity versions from 2022.2.0a17 to 2023.1.0a16 use 22LTS branch. though

[harsh hedge]

I must be using one of those then by happenstance

but I can't wrap my head around this error it's throwing up

[shrewd lotus]

Hello Fellow Gamers and Game Developers!
I'm in the process of doing a closed test for my android game and require 20 testers to be opted into the test for 14 consecutive days.
If this is something that interests you then send me a message so we can exchange email so I can add you to the testers list and send you a link to opt in and find the game.
I am also willing to opt into other Devs closed tests in return.

P.S. I have limited the amount of levels in the game for this test as to not spoil it before release

[harsh hedge]

not sure why but unity can't find my local gradle install when I've clicked the same path that android studio itself uses

[harsh hedge]

And I'm still getting this error. I could run both projects separately just fine, but as soon as I import the unityLibrary module it breaks

[harsh hedge]

how long is this task supposed to run for when syncing a unityLibrary module?

[harsh hedge]

8 minutes it seems X/

[harsh hedge]

how do you properly set up the gitignore for an android studio project that uses a unityLibrart module?

I don't want to push too much but I don't know what is needed

got all these ones but I don't know what I can properly push to get so pulling it works

even then I can't even push it to github at all because this file is too big to put on github

[harsh hedge]

should I just gitignore the whole folder unityLibrary so you have to export from unity instead of pulling?

[half lake]

there are no plugins from unity ads that I know (this is the assets folder I copied)

[half lake]

that is the error, when I uploaded the build to google, they sent me that email telling me what the problem was

nvm I found a file .aar with the name "com.unity3d.ads.unity-ads", I deleted it now, and I'm making a new build, I hope this fixes it🙏

[fallen compass]

You have to click each one and read the stack trace (the information at the bottom)

Ik, but idk how to solve it

[sonic otter]

build errors like that typically mean you're using the wrong jdk

I have a jdk for android studio separate from unity's jdk. I have to use 2 because my android studio has different dependencies

[humble vault]

One question, how do I fix this error I have? I haven't been able to create a project for several days

[sonic otter]

do the project files exist?

did you move the path?

is the drive dying?

[limber plaza]

same here. which one is admob mediation?

[wispy grotto]

Anybody have idea how to solve this problem?
A mooved files on an older project from Resources to StreamingAssets, and I get this problem. I deleted the meta files of them, the library library, but keep getting the same problem with the same 2 files and with the same GUID in the error. I'm trying to build it into Android.

Is it at all possible to develop for IOS without having a mac to submit the game to apple?

I have an iphone but from what i understand you need a mac. Which i dont currently have.

[rain leaf]

possible? yes

[wispy grotto]

You can make a hackintosh from intel notebooks, some ppl successed with AMD notebooks too. I have one from my previous ThinkPad.

[brazen birch]

That means somewhere you attached that script to something just doesn't contain a scroll rect

Or it is losing the reference, such as can happen with a singleton etc.

Using FindObject is really a last resort thing. You should set those references via public references in the inspector.

[brazen birch]

It's a pain, but honestly, just getting a Mac is the answer. I can't stand the platform myself. But hackintosh can get out of date and difficult to keep updated, macincloud or other cloud services could be used. But it's a lot easier to just get a Mac that supports the latest OS and xcode and that will be maintained for the next 3 or so years at least.

[honest tapir]

But i dont have this error when i play on the editor...

And it is a prefab, i cant set the object as a reference... :/ is there any workaround?

[brazen birch]

You probably need to play from the main menu scene and move into this one to see the error in the editor

Hey, I am making a game and need 20 testers for the google play store requirements to publish it. Anyone interested DM me your email (must be gmail) so I can send you the invitation to the test for android. Thanks!

The game is called Fist Project, I can share a web version but not sure if i can send links here

Or if anyone knows a good way to get the 20 testers, it would help a lot

[humble vault]

I haven't moved anything in a month, I know I didn't install Unity and when I installed it and created the project, that's what I saw

[sonic otter]

" I know I didn't install Unity and when I installed it" off of this just reinstall unity

and make sure you install a version with it

[humble vault]

I don't think it works because I was reinstalling it several times, until I formatted my computer lol

[brazen birch]

Web won't work, it needs to go through the play store, and I believe they need to test for 2 weeks.

[iron copper]

i know

its just a webgl build

[brazen birch]

If it helps I think there are review circles on reddit to get you your 20, and in exchange you have to help out others

[iron copper]

thanks, i will look that up

[brittle thunder]

Can somebody please help me with android sdk, its says that it cant update Android SDK ive done everything i gave up please help

[thorny panther]

you have to look the target device, what is the latest updateable version of android, coud be 5.1 lolipop than its harder but possible to find a old sdk they build *.APK , not aap .
Middle Versions are easy and default if you use emulator, developer mode: enable no / unknown signature . not only version but apk 32 bit or 64 that is the question.
alternative android stores have a lot version sdk but also 32 / 64 bit - some of few device even 64 bit works only apk in 32 bit. Start high 64 to lower till 32 bit android by try.

[thorny panther]

always wonder where is the webgl unity-plugin/flash/player for mobile it was not a premise of previous ea ceo, but to have a android player webgl+webgpu (kind of flash/player unity plugin installed) would speed up games for sure multithread for next next ceo. with a link press here to load with unity-flash-player-app (hardware accelerated sandboxed allow restrict reights decide battery usage gpu flags ondevice plugins webrtc connect ) instead building lot of versions apk, else stayin webgl 2 / webgpu is a bit slow await multithreads 8 core cpus not to use just 1 in browsers

hi, anyone thats had to add bloom glow to your projects, how did you go about it? everytime i try, i loose 30fps

[brazen birch]

You'll need to go through those errors. When you expand them out you'll find the actual error underneath

It's in the subtext of the error

[brazen birch]

Most bloom techniques use post processing, and yes post processing is expensive on mobile. You need a mobile friendly post processing shader or other hacks to make it work nicely.

Bloom in of itself I've used extensively on mobile without much in terms of noticible quality declines though. But it may depend on URP vs Built in etc.

[ripe pivot]

I’ve been trying for weeks to find hacks or alternatives but have come@up short, right now I just have volume and bloom on very low intensity and I still get get awful fps

[ripe pivot]

I’m using urp

[brazen birch]

Ah I can't help with URP I'm afraid, we haven't been using it as we haven't liked the benchmarks so far

[ripe pivot]

Okay, could you explain the other option?

[brazen birch]

I don't think it would help, we have a post processing shader we use, but its for built in

[ripe pivot]

So what would you recommend I could do in my situation?

I’m only asking due to there not being much anyway and it’s put my projects at a dead stop

[brazen birch]

I'd fake it, fix it, or skip it. I don't know how you'd go about fixing anything in URP though for post processing performance. I'm just not familiar enough with it to give meaningful guidance I'm afraid

With built in, I used a great now depreciated shader set from the asset store, and have modified them to be more performant and I usually use those on mobile titles if I really have to

But I also use normal post processing in the built in renderer on our mobile VR projects without much overhead (keeping in mind to do so very sparingly). So it's not something I look into very often.

I'd probably start by looking for any non post processing full-screen shader effects for URP. Or benchmarking and testing any mobile post processing bloom equivilent for mobile.

[ripe pivot]

Wow okay thanks, didn’t realise a bit of glow would be so much effort. By any chance do you know any links or resources towards that?

[tender cloud]

Hi guys,

I have the following piece of code that I use in my Android game to leave it.
It's working well on different phones, but I recently changed mine which is on Android 13 and it detects that I hit the escape key like 1 out of 3 4 times

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        // Make sure user is on Android platform
        if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android) {

            // Check if Back was pressed this frame
            if (Keyboard.current.escapeKey.wasPressedThisFrame)
            {
                Debug.Log("Key Pressed"); // I added this just for debuging
                previousState = GameManager.state;
                GameManager.Instance.UpdateGameSate(GameManager.GameState.Leaving);
            }
        }
    }

I have logged this

MIUIInput [KeyEvent] ViewRootImpl windowName 'com.company.game/com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity', KeyEvent { action=ACTION_UP, keyCode=KEYCODE_BACK, scanCode=0, metaState=0, flags=0x48, repeatCount=0, eventTime=53889710000000, downTime=53889621000000, deviceId=-1, source=0x101, displayId=0 }, phoneEventTime=10:34:36.402

Anybody knows how to detect clicks from an on-screen Dpad for example in code?

[bronze hollow]

Hey guys, if there's any expert dev active on here, I could really use some guidance on URP and BiRP. Which is better for mobile, considering that I'm a solo developer and want a decent graphics/performance ratio without having to spend weeks on tweaking every single setting, and considering the fact that I rely heavily on assetstore assets

[wicked zealot]

Not an "expert dev", but I'd stick with BiRP for Mobile if you want to target low-end devices as well.
I didn't check URP performance on mobile for months, but the last time I did, BiRP had waaayyyyyy better performance (out of the box, without adjusting URP Settings).

The best thing would probably be if you create a Sample with the amount of Geometry that you're going to have in your Project and then build it once with BiRP and once with URP and compare the performance

[bronze hollow]

Yeah I really do want to work with URP since Unity is pushing it pretty hard

but fact is its a pain in the ass

[wicked zealot]

URP is awesome, I started using it exclusively, but I'm not targeting mobile anymore 😄

No jokes, my "Sample" a few months ago was a single LowPoly SkinnedMeshRenderer with an Animation playing, and BiRP gave me 60 FPS while URP gave me pretty bad stuttering.. for a single GameObject in a Scene..

[bronze hollow]

Yeah they say that URP is supposedly a lot "better" for mobile, but the content they're releasing for URP in their samples as well as other stuff is more for PC

Let's hope they have better optimization in Unity 6

[wicked zealot]

It would be great to get a "MRP".. Mobile Render Pipeline.. one that "just works" for any low/high end Mobile Device out of the Box 😂
But I'm still assuming that the "bad" URP performance was due to a lack of adjusting the settings properly, many people told me that it's "better" then URP when setup properly.

As said, it would be best if you'd just create a Sample and test it for yourself.

Oh, and forget about PostProcessing if you target Mobile.. 😅

[bronze hollow]

PostProcessing with URP* I have managed to use color grading, ambient occlusion, and bloom while retaining performance in BiRP

[brazen birch]

I'll second what is said above. I built and benchmarked a URP vs BiRP a while back. Saw BiRP still had better performance. And quickly realized URP is really just a make work project in thr VR space at least.

I have a few inherited projects from other studios that use URP, and they are stable enough. But I literally see zero reasons to use it right now.

[fallen compass]

I only use URP for mobile projects now

work and personal

[low maple]

so i have this problem where first time a new user launches the game the GooglePlayServices RequestServerSide Token is null and then if they close the game and open it again it works any idea why ?

[low maple]

its like first install start =fail then if i start it again it works

[brazen birch]

Maybe it isn't waiting for the request to finish the first time, second time is quick because it's cached

[nova imp]

To exclude specific classes with reflection functionalities in ProGuard files in Unity for Android, you can use the -keep option in your ProGuard configuration file. For example, if you have a class called SomeClass that uses reflection and you want to keep it from being obfuscated, you can add the following line to your ProGuard configuration file:

-keep class com.example.SomeClass { *; }

Replace com.example.SomeClass with the actual package and class name you want to exclude. This rule will prevent ProGuard from obfuscating the specified class and its members, including those accessed via reflection.
My question is what exactly I should write. Just namespace and class name?

[ripe pivot]

If Post processing is not an option to have glowing objects in my mobile game, what have others done to get it to work?

Hey I saw you once talked about fast bloom here some time ago, did you have any luck??

[brazen birch]

Yup! I use a set of modified post processing scripts from a now defunct unity asset called TOZ I think it was. These were built in the 4.x era. I usually use them for mobile and VR. But I don't use URP, etc. I will use standard post processing when I absolutely have to, but it's performance isn't great for VR and needs to be done very sparingly.

[ripe pivot]

Yeah I’ve bought two fast bloom assets from the store which justdont work and spend weeks messing around with post processing and still get below 30fps. I’ve never spent so long on something. What exactly do you use now for mobile

[brazen birch]

The same one I mentioned above. You could try creating your own if you need to. You might be able to create a decent one using shader graph

I’m not too good at that. I’ve tried to look for some online but nothing really comes up. Did you make your own shader and I am using urp

Has anyone experienced game not getting installed on a certain device?
While my Android game successfully got installed on many phones, I tried it on a single tablet and it didn't install. I checked the CPU of the tablet and it's also ARMv8, like my phone, which has the game installed.
What could be wrong?
It's Android 11, so no problem on API level as well.
Also I believe there's no problem with free space.

[analog plover]

"didn't install" isn't enough info to even guess why

see what logcat says

Hey guys, I'm trying to build my test version of the game for ios, I finished the process in Unity and I've got the Xcode project, How do I build an IPA and make it public so everyone that I want can download it, I've heard there's a special store for a test version of apps, anyone knows what is it?, and how can I build and publish on it? or there is a way without using any store?

[fallen compass]

Upload to the appstore, then go to the 'testflight' tab in appstore connect for that app

[marble jacinth]

is there a way to use android studio to debug an app on a device? I can't find a project to open in android studio that'll get it halfway to the right UI for debugging on a device

[marble jacinth]

or is there a way to debug what assets are making it as far as the device? my APK seems a bit small, and I'm getting black screens with UI on them and missing UI textures

[finite tiger]

You can use Console Packages na?

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/gui/lunar-mobile-console-free-82881

[gilded schooner]

so while building games for android, is there any way that I can make these games to go directly into the Game Launcher?
The same way how most of the games we download will be get moved to Game Launcher

[marble jacinth]

is there a way of seeing what assets made it into an APK? unzipping it isn't enough

[rain leaf]

the build log in the editor log should show which assets are included into apk

[marble jacinth]

does android support .NET Framework and does such support AppDomain ?

What is a "D-U-N-S" and why do I need a organization?
Organization sound so expensive and wrong because I am a small dev that is not even earning money with the products I made.
So why do I need a organization and how expensive is it to make and own one for google play?

[fallen compass]

You don't need one for google play

[arctic marlin]

OK its to high for me.
How can I disable my google play dev account because I dont agree with the new license agreements.

they always wanting from me so much and I literally have to dox myself in the public to get google play greenlight.
So I dont want to continue with it how I delete or disable my google play dev account without deleting my google account itself?

Hi everyone, I'd like to know how to make my 3d character move with a joystick (made from an image) and move the camera in 3rd person view by touching the screen. Can you help me?

[brazen birch]

I'm assuming you know this is a Unity discord, not a Google discord. But I'm sure you can open an email to their support channel. My advice is to always be polite and clear on what you need. They can deactivate your account in its entirety if they feel like it. So don't provoke them if you can avoid it.

And yes, they are starting to require proof of organization (same as Steam, etc). Or proof of personal identity. In 6 months, the only way to be on their store, is to send them documented proof of who you are. And yes companies are expensive, I have to also submit yearly taxes, annual returns etc for each of them, all that fun stuff. You can expect to spend anywhere from about 500 to 1,000 depending on where you are to open one up.

[brazen birch]

You may want to look up third person controllers and virtual joystick controllers for Unity.

[arctic marlin]

"Please select a date to verify your Google Play account before February 29th - otherwise you will automatically receive one from us"

• what is this and why is it something I need to select a specific day for it?

Do I have to get in a phone call with a google employe or why do I need to reserve a day for it?

 In November, we announced that all developers would need to verify their accounts to comply with the updated Play Console Usage Policy.  It was also announced that developers can choose a convenient date by which their account must be confirmed.

 We noticed that you have not yet selected a confirmation date for your developer account (LetMeDwight).  Choose a date in Play Console now so you have enough time to prepare.  Appointments will be made in the order in which reservations are received.```

[tawny radish]

I have a problem, after clicking on input field old android version not showing keyboard, build is il2spp target api 33
after treing to find solution for hours without result, i've decided to buy keyboard asset on asset store, but there was no popular ones, so that means problem i have is not a common problem, so if there is anyone here who had similar problem and fixed it please share your opinion

[brazen birch]

Google has a series of new policies coming in. Your Google play account must be your personal identity (you'll need to send them your ID etc), or your branded account must be an actual registered legal business (you'll need to send them proof of organization)

Probably, in part, related to US tax evasion and money laundering.

Right now anyone can make an account for $30 and sell almost anything

As an aside, Apple already does this in part, and it's why it takes so long to open an Apple Developer account. Sony, Nintendo and Steam all have a similar process.

[fallen compass]

$25 not $30

[brazen birch]

I'm Canadian and forget the USD conversion sometimes 😄

The fees in my head are always 130 for Apple and 30 for Google. Interestingly I think of steam as 100 not 130.

[fallen compass]

ah, I assumed you were talking USD because of the line above!

[arctic marlin]

But why do I need a specific date to make this?
Is this a phone call why can it not be made just with a email they send me right away instead sending me a announcement to register for a specific date to make this information showing thing?

[brazen birch]

I suspect they are doing that just because they have millions and millions of developers to go through and don't want to do it in a compressed timeframe. It'll be more of a paperwork and ID sharing process. I suspect a lot of accounts are fake or brands without an organization. So they need time to replace the brand / legally register the business, get listed with a DUNS etc.

I have no doubt this will result in the number of developer accounts reducing by about 75%

[brazen birch]

I should also say, I thought it was a bit odd as well. If I had my way, I'd just submit the documents now and be done with it.

[arctic marlin]

Wow, I took a look to reserve a date for my google play meeting. What is this meeting and what will they gonna do with me?
I only know that the reservation is now in the 12/2024 because there are so many other devs also doing the same kind of meeting with google play.

What is this and what will happen on the 12/2024 for me?
I only know I have to make a reservation otherwise google will force me a date that I am not able to choose.

Hi!

I{m very new on this, I wanted to create an AR app to scan pictures and being able to watch a video, I was able to do it using Vuforia, the thing is that there is 1 specific mobile where the app does not work, so I tried to create another AR app but using ARFoundation this time, but I was not able to move forward because the AR Session Origin is not on the XR list. Does anybody know why is this? Also, I wanted to know if it is possible to build the same on iOS using a Windows

[brazen birch]

You have to build for ios with ios, or a build server of sorts unfortunately

```I don't know why I'm getting this. I do a bit of dynamic loading, but none of my paths include `/Assets/Resources` since that's included automatically right? everything else is loading, I can't even see what's NOT loading.

it's not a broken path where the part after `/Stories/` is missing

I do a debug before trying to load anything dynamically and this doesn't seem to be related to that for some reason

[marble jacinth]

nevermind, it was me. I found it.

I guess that doesn't work on android. does anyone have an example of how to do it?
I found this that seems to handle mobile/desktop, but they say it doesn't work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37553313/in-unity-getdirectories-does-not-work-on-android

I guess I should just hard-code the list of directories I expect, and all of the folder structure?

you might want to use addressable for that, or use streamingassets

Hi

i have a question

How can I make it so that I only need to glide to press?

I am making a 2D platformer for mobile and I am using unity's input system for it. I want it so that i can just slide my finger to to the other button instead of lifting it up at pressing it down again. For example I am pressing the right arrow key and i want to go to the left, I want to just slide my finger to the left button and not press it again.

[rain leaf]

Use virtual joystick
Or you can also make it yourself, using InputSystem Touch
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Touch.html

[last verge]

dude was it not a fair price cause i already sold it for $200

[analog plover]

Did the sale by chance include your developer account?

They do that to do things like get access to your account, or inject malware into your game etc.

hello,
i just installed unity hub and then unity version 2021.3.1f1 from the archive, and not from the unity hub.
Now when i try to add the Android Build Support the option doesn't show in Unity hub. How can i add modules to this version of unity?

[analog plover]

You can't. Install it through the Hub.

[jolly bobcat]

i tried but the only versions available are these, i need the 2021.3.1f1

[neon thicket]

You can get previous versions here:
https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive

[jolly bobcat]

yes i downloaded it from there, but when i add it to unity hub and right click, i cannot add modules, as you can see.

[neon thicket]

When you downloaded it from the archive, did you choose the Unity Hub option?

[spice bay]

Guys, which IPointers to use for mobile. Does anyone have any idea, I am stuck and searched all the forums for this.

Yes

i need the LTS release, and it looks like this. I downloaded both unity and the android build support, but i don't know how to add the latter to unity, it's so annoying

[neon thicket]

That didn't answer my question

[rain leaf]

mostly yes, with some exceptions like when you add permission, the playerprefs filename might be changed and you will lost prev progress (the old playerpref is there, but since it use new playerprefs file, the progress is reset)
Not sure if it's already fixed in new unity version
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21604119/resource-code-path-changing-for-pkg-on-android-app-update

[rain leaf]

did you download and install the Android Build Support?
Here's an example, I'm just too lazy to find the 2021.3.1f

https://unity.com/releases/editor/qa/lts-releases

[brazen birch]

You need to click on the red things in the console to read what the real errors are. It's in the body of the error message.

[jolly bobcat]

there's no unity hub option for the lts release

[jolly bobcat]

should i download the android build support and run the .exe?

[rain leaf]

Yes, just download it and run the exe.
That's just the easy part though... you'll have to setup android sdk manually after that 😅

[jolly bobcat]

i see

should i do that from inside the unity editor?

[rain leaf]

you have to manually download and install all of them

android sdk, ndk, gradle, java, etc

        {
            string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(fullPath);
            return Array.FindAll(allFiles, file => Path.GetExtension(file).Equals(".csv"));
        }
        else

hello i wanna ask about optimize build game to .aab, i've already compress everything like mesh, fbx, texture with below to 3mb, but when i build it become over to 20mb for individual file, how can i fix this ?

[fallen compass]

Use the Android Logcat package?

[fallen compass]

You can't an empty Android build is just around that size

[kind zephyr]

I mean the total size build is around 300mb. I need to small size for uploading to play store

[fallen compass]

Why say the size is 20mb then 🤦‍♂️

After you do a build, click the 3 dots on the console and open the editor log. In there it will tell you the file size of each and every file/ asset/ etc that is in the build. Find the big ones and see what you can do to lower their size, or possibly remove if it shouldn't be there

So since google play plugin happens on awake now what if user has no internet should i create a script to check for internet on awake aswell and act acordingly ?

[brazen birch]

rework the input to be mobile friendly, remove any javascript dependencies that may have been added.

[brazen birch]

i would think the plugin can operate with or without internet?

[low maple]

Thats the thing idk how exactly it works all i wanted was to delay the authentication to google play games and have it start on a loading screen instead of when app opens

[brazen birch]

I'd give it a test - turn off data and wifi and launch the app on the phone. But I'm sure they have a no-internet scenario for the plugin

It would be weird if it didn't

[low maple]

Its funny still signs in 😄 still see the google popup at top of the screen with no internet on or mobile data

Aparently its intended if the user is allready signed in which lets be honest everyone's phone is

They call it silent signin

anyone know how selling from an app works these days, do u still need to use google/apples own methods and they take a cut? or can u use say a paypal sdk and avoid paying them their cut?

[brazen birch]

Google will disable your account if you don't use their inapp and put the app in their store.

Apple just opened licensing to allow it. But you still need to pay them a royalty plus 42 cents a user I believe

In practice it's locked down more than ever

https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/25/24050200/apple-third-party-app-stores-allowed-iphone-ios-europe-digital-markets-act

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/google-to-change-app-store-s-billing-options-post-antitrust-suit

Google however is starting to relax the policy post lawsuit

All of this is in reaction to Epic fighting to allow third party inapp purchases.

Has anyone also experienced inconsistency in frame rate when testing on mobile. I’ll build my game, run it and get constant 30 fps with bloom on but then if I close the app and open it again or try to play it some other time I’m getting frame drops where I once never did. Or when I turn off post processing completely and still cannot keep a constant 30 fps but then again closing the app then opening it again it’s a totally different outcome in frame. Yes I have use object pooling and all the other steps into to make the game more efficient for mobile and check the debugging to see what is causing the frame drops but it’s always so inconsistent to when it might happen or even happen at all I’m not sure what to focus on fixing.

you can try profiling to find what is causing the slowdown, but if it is indeed cpu throttling, there's not much you can do, except optimizing your game further (if possible)

Im trying to run my game for android at a fixed 16x9 aspect ratio but I cant figure out how to do it

[brazen birch]

Many phones can't, it's typical for an android phone for example to be manufacturer limited to 30/60fps. They don't want you burning up the cpu/gpu and battery

[brazen birch]

You can't, you need to fake it. You can't alter the screen resolution for mobile, so you need to add black bars etc programmatically if you do. That said your then removing screen sizing from viable phones, so those users may not be so happy about it

[brazen birch]

You can just read/write files to somewhere, I.e. playerprefs or Application.persistentDataPath or whatever it's called.

There are tons of examples online

Sorry not related to what you asked i was just asking for my own problem cuz idk its weird

[onyx lagoon]

I have a problem

So I've duplicated my project to test add another feature (Leaderboard) and what I did was follow coco codes video on sharing projects and mistakenly I deleted the keystore which led to this problem.

I also tried creating another keystore using cmd because unity wont let me and after I did I used it and it wont let me write the password even if I wrote it correctly.

I have these in my projects:
Firebase (Gmail login)
Google Pad (Play asset deliever)

I have tried several things:
Change my project location (Not in a one drive folder)
Remove the editor dll files of firebase
use a different keystore
change unity versions (3 times)
Changed the jdk sdk ndk and etc to custom downloaded versions

NOTE: The game is already uploaded to play store

Any help will be apperciated 😄
Here is the error code

[low maple]

@onyx lagoon if you are using google play app signing you can upload a new key and request a new public key

i had a similar problem only i did not lose the keystore i deleted the oauths from cloud while everything was setup what i did was refresh all keys and worked after.

[forest spruce]

install logcat package in unity and check logs

i don't remember it's name

oh, it's Android Logcat package

google it

[tardy charm]

Yeah ik, already tried that.. got 0 errors, but a couple warnings that still didnt give me a clue about the problem

[forest spruce]

if it crashes there should be an error that makes it crash

[tardy charm]

I didnt find anything tho, it just freezes right after the splashscreen

[gloomy wing]

for some reason when i build my game to iOS (issue is not on windows only iOS) my main camera refuses to render multiple layers, only one layer
the UI and TransparentFx layers just refuse to be renderered for some reason, or maybe its rendering the environment infront of them

these blue buttons are on a world space canvas (UI layer) and just do not appear whenever i build to iOS UNLESS i add a new camera that only renders the UI layer but then the UI is always infront of walls and stuff

also, this plane refuses to show up as well - its just using standard and its on the same layer as the environment but is NOT present in iOS builds

[onyx lagoon]

TYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I was struggling for multiple days!!!!!!! 😭

[dapper snow]

Hello, I'm looking for someone to test a game I'm making. It's a 2d runner with a Trivia integration. It's apk. Let me know here or DM me

[onyx lagoon]

But there is also one more problem I cant use/create a new key I created a new key by the help of cmd but I cant use it

[low maple]

You need java installed or use the unity key creation

[latent violet]

This is the end for me guys

[onyx lagoon]

Ok

[low maple]

Lel what did you try to do ?

[onyx lagoon]

Tried it but shows the same error

I used a custom jdk tool

[low maple]

This might sound stupid but are you using onedrive as your project folder ?

[onyx lagoon]

Oh no I already changed it from a onedrive directory to another one which isnt there

Someone already said that to me

[latent violet]

Nothing... Woke up to the message and the annoying part is they didn't even give a specific reason or cause of it

[onyx lagoon]

ACtually the keystore is in onedrive

[low maple]

seems like they gave you a vague reason mhmh developer program policy

https://play.google.com/about/developer-distribution-agreement.html?sjid=7698166651955602446-EU

might show in spanish for no reason but right click translate

[onyx lagoon]

Ok I've changed the location of my keystore and now as you can see it still doesnt let me build

[low maple]

You might have the wrong password as location is correct i assume

i have this bug on 2023 where once i place right password once it fails

then i have to remove it and place it again

and works]

only the password field

[onyx lagoon]

ok

[onyx lagoon]

I have retried and did everything but still

Is there a way to access your keystore using cmd to verify the password?

[low maple]

yea

navigate to your jdk bin folder

and use this

keytool -keystore path-to-debug-or-production-keystore -list -v

keep in mind you must be in bin folder

[onyx lagoon]

Does it work in windows\system32?

[low maple]

for me its

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin

no why lol

don't mess with system32

[onyx lagoon]

Ok

[low maple]

Just make sure you got JDK installed

i use jdk-21

[onyx lagoon]

Ok so my password is correct

[onyx lagoon]

I use jdk 11

On unity 2023.2.5f1

[low maple]

mhmh im running out of ideas

Have you tryed copy pasting error on gpt might give you some ideas

[onyx lagoon]

Same here I have been using unity since 2019 and still dont kbnow how tos olve this

[latent violet]

Google is just trash... IOS App store is better

[onyx lagoon]

I did but I didnt gave it some attention

[onyx lagoon]

No it doesnt works tried a lot

Well this issue is difficult to solve

[onyx lagoon]

I am still trying to solve this issue but no success

[brazen birch]

They can ban you just as easily. I greatly prefer building for Android, but iOS is often less effort to maintain

I don't really like either

[latent violet]

But when i asked some devs who are into IOS App store, they said it's more better than Google play store and if they actually ban your game, they give you the reason in specific details and you can actually fix it unlike Google

[brazen birch]

Not really, every platform is a black box. It just depends how nice they are on that day.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Google's policies or the mess that is their policy system and store front. But apple is not a safe haven in that regard.

It is usually less fuss though.

As long as you don't mind having to buy apple products to build, paying a yearly fee, dealing with xcode, their weird signing, and making a bunch of new policy agreements everytime you go to submit a build.

[latent violet]

But their Customer support is better than Google play store

[sharp moon]

Good afternoon, have anyone used EPPZ cloud save/load before?

https://github.com/Geri-Borbas/Unity.Library.eppz.Cloud

[low maple]

So i have a question about addresables if i use them how exactly do they work for example scene 1 uses a bundle of addresables and then player moves to a new scene and comes back to scene 1 does he have to download the addresable for scene 1 every time he loads scene 1 or its like a 1 time download on device ?

[brazen birch]

It's cached on the device at that point and loads it in the same as it would the scene resources.

It basically checks if it is cached, if not, downloads it.

A bit more on memory vs disk and how is here:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AssetBundles-Cache.html

[low maple]

Thanks il look into it

[rancid spear]

hi i wanted to created a simple 2d game the issue i have is how do i scale the game objects so i can play it on different devices like phone or tablet?

[brazen birch]

The camera view will auto scale. The trickier part is the UI. There are a few ways there, but using a canvas scaler set to scale with screen size at 0.5 is usually the easiest trick

[rancid spear]

i have no problems with ui for me right now ui is kinda the easiest part as you said with the 0.5 scaling, but i dont understand the camera view auto scale. how does it scale automatically and hold the position at the same time? 🤔

[low maple]

Use the simulator to view different options and looks also a 2d game you can also tap on the 2d indicator at top of your scene editor and view the gismo of the camera in real action

[brazen birch]

The quickest way, is to hit play, and change the view settings to different scales and resolutions, and you'll see how it handles the camera view

Its a bit harder if you want a fixed camera view over say a game table and not following a player

[low maple]

I think if you use camera space it won't matter nothing will show up 😄

[brazen birch]

In that last case, what I usually do is screen to world point on the 4 corners of the table, and that'll tell you how far off the camera is

But cinecamera or whatever it is would probably do it too

[marble jacinth]

I'm setting up asset bundles for my app so I can get it into google play's test track

1. is there a way to assign everything that's inside a hierarchy to an asset bundle?
2. a lot of my content is in /Resources/ because it's dynamically assembled at runtime. is that going to have an impact on asset bundles? I want all this stuff to be in the external bundle.

[unreal flume]

Hello, I wanted to build my game for Android, however, right as I press build button, it seems to give out this error, anyone knows how I can solve this?(I tried almost everything I can with online solutions)

CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to update Android SDK package list.
C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.35f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\cmdline-tools\2.1\bin\sdkmanager.bat --list

[brazen birch]

I install android studio as a stand alone thing, it has a GUI for managing SDKs. But thr error you saw isn't the full error. It's saying it couldn't see what SDKs are installed.

Fixing it can be difficult. You want to see if there are other errors. And the command you see there you can run at command line and see what it does

[glossy sluice]

I'm having an issue where calling Application.RequestUserAuthorizaton(UserAuthorization.WebCam) in a coroutine on iOS doesn't prompt the user to enable their device camera.

[cosmic yew]

Hey, I am using the Safe Area Helper asset to make sure my UI is rendering only in visible parts of the display. We just tested our app on the iPhone 15 and the bottom UI is still messed up. Would you still recommend using that asset or solve the problem differently? Using Unity 2020.3.34f1.
(Link to asset https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/gui/safe-area-helper-130488)

[brazen birch]

It sounds really buggy to me

https://forum.unity.com/threads/ios-app-never-asks-for-microphone-permissions.450307/

That one gets into mic, Webcam, etc.

[brazen birch]

It's a third party asset, I think you may need to ask the people who made it.

[glossy sluice]

Yeah that's the conclusion I came to as well. In the end we had to manually edit PreProcessor.h in the xcode project and that seemed to do the trick

[brazen birch]

I think the only really relevant point in the post though is checking the log in real-time to see if it is coming back true, false, showing an error etc. And it might be missing the raw xcode permission for Webcam.

[brazen birch]

Yeah that's the lazy approach I was thinking

And then just document it in the projects Readme for the time being

[fallen compass]

Why would doing anything with xode affect Unity building?

There’s more than one error log, click and read them all, then google to relevant bits to find the problem and solution.

Hey, I've started development on my first mobile game but the playtest with unity remote 5 isn't working. I've gone into project settings and selected any android device and enabled Android SDK in preferences. I'm currently using unity 2020.30f1. The problem is that the game isn't being mirrored to my device, making it so I can't playtest.

I am trying to publish my game on playstore. But the app review got rejected due to links not complaint. After doing some research, I figured it is because of the Discord Server link I have put both in the game and the description, and the game is for all ages. Removing it should ideally fix the issue, but I cant understand if I should modify my studios website that I have put both in the description and the game. The website includes images of weapons, and the link to discord server.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

It depends a lot on the project. As a rough goal, I get concerned when a project is over 750k tris and 200 batch calls.

EDIT: Solved! this was an issue with Game Center not being enabled for my apple app id. After enabling game center, regenerating my provisioning profile, and then manually enabling Game Center in xcode, I was able to sign is succesfully with my personal game center account.

Hello mobile devs,

I'm attempting to authenticate with Game Center as described here:
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/manual/authentication/manual/platform-signin-apple-game-center

upon calling var player = await GKLocalPlayer.Authenticate(); I get this error on my device:
GameKitException: Code=6 Domain=GKErrorDomain Description=The requested operation could not be completed because local player has not been authenticated.

So it is throwing a not-authenticated error while authenticating... hmm... I think what the Apple dev was attempting to communicate here is that the player has not enabled GameCenter on their device, but I absolutely have done that and am logged in with my personal GameCenter account. Is this some sort of sandbox account thing, or do I need to be logged into a tester apple id somehow?

Thanks in advance

[brazen birch]

You can also just delete them. I usually only create two, high (PC) and low (mobile). Unless it's a really complex project

[rain leaf]

even on mobile, you can create some kind of 'adaptive performance' by switching quality according to framerate

Hello guys.. So my Google play console account got terminated for no specific reason, tried appealing countless times but no hope... So now am planning on focusing on IOS App store but am told to first get a Macbook so I wanna ask.... Which Macbook is better to use.. I don't have a big budget but I wanna know if there's any Macbook that can run Xcode since I'll be using my windows to continue creating the games

[brazen birch]

You are right to be cautious. To submit to apple, you need to use the latest xcode. And that only runs on the latest OS. Which only runs on more recent Mac hardware.

So you want to get something new enough to be usable for 2 or 3 years.

To complicate things - if you want to build for their new headset, you also need an m1 or higher

Then just pay your yearly dev fees. Get unity pro if you want to build for visionos. Gotta love the apple Ecosystem.

[latent violet]

So any recommendations?

Like the types and stuff.. Don't mind me... I don't have any clue about the Apple encyclopedia in relating to thier devices

[brazen birch]

Not really no, we just buy the team macbook airs. They just use them for building projects and otherwise go unused.

I'm not much of an apple person so I'm not sure what's good and recent enough

At my personal station I use a recent Mac mini for builds - it takes up less space that way for me

[latent violet]

What's a Mac mini... It's a Laptop?

Oh just searched and saw it's like a cpu

[fallen compass]

CPU is a single processor inside a machine, a mac mini isn't "like a cpu". A mac mini is a small PC, a desktop mac

[tardy charm]

Hello Devs,

I have a problem developing a mobile game for android, which I can't fix for weeks...
When I build my project as .aab and install it on my phone (||Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra||) and try to open the game,
right after the unity-logo splash screen the game freezes. It doesn't load into the first scene, which is the main menu.
However, if I open the game, and instantly minimize it (not completely closed from background, but instead went out from the app)
before the splash screen is finished showing, then reopen it from background apps.. it loads the first scene and works just fine.
You can see the action in detail in the following videos that I uploaded.

I don't know why or what the cause of this bug is, I even tried analysing the logcat, but still can't find the problem.
It would be very nice, if someone who is advanced at android game development could help me solve this issue.
I can send the game .aab file (and other necessary info if needed) via DM, if anyone is willing to take a look at it and help me.

Thanks in advance

[tired lily]

What else have you tried? Does a barebones project work? Did you try different Unity versions? did you try different scenes? Did you start ripping out pieces of your project to figure out which thing causes it to break?

[tardy charm]

i am using unity verison 2019.2.0f1 LTS and i've event tried an empty scene as the first one to load, but the game still froze after splash screen.. when i tried running the app on firebase robo test, it worked without any errors. but trying it on physical phone, it crashes. i've sent the game to some of my friends with different android versions, but still the same result. so the phone isn't the problem

[tired lily]

what about the other things?

[tardy charm]

i tried what i could. the thing is, it works fine on computer and it also works fine on mobile if i open the game in a specific way as shows in second video above

i think it has something to do with player/platform settings

[tired lily]

does a project with nothing but a scene in it work?

[tardy charm]

yes

[tired lily]

does a project with nothing but a scene in it and the same player and platform settings work?

[tardy charm]

hmm didn't try out yet

Data Collection and Secuirty (Google Play Console). I want to release my android game on google play store and I need to fill out the Data Safety form on google Play console. I do not have any ads, use any services or anything that I would be aware of, it's just an arcadey game I made. Is there anything collected (like crash logs for example) that every unity game just does by default that I need to disclose?

[brazen birch]

Unless you disabled them (and you should) unity does collect analytics

Oh wow, will do thanks.

[tidal island]

I have an issue
I cant open my APK file on API Version 34
and I need version 34 or it wont work

No errors in Unity, also tried several android devices on the correct version. The error when opening the APk I get is:
There was a problem while parsing the package

• I have tried building again

• Tried different unity versions

• Started again from scratch, same thing

• I have tried restarting PC

Any help appreciated!

[iron acorn]

I told you in the other channel, but share the whole error details.

[tidal island]

There are no errors within Unity itself

It's just that 1 error when I try opening the APK on any of my devices

[iron acorn]

Then the build didn't complete correctly. Were there no errors/warnings during the build?

[tidal island]

None at all.

I mean, all I got is:

Build completed with a result of 'Succeeded' in 10 seconds (9718 ms)
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

[iron acorn]

Also, use logcat or similar tool to see the device logs.

[tidal island]

No errors or warnings

[fallen compass]

use the logcat package to find out what's happening when you try to launch the app

[tidal island]

Alr thanks

will hjave

[fallen compass]

install it via the package manager

[tidal island]

I can launch it fine on bluestacks

I just cant open the APK file to click install on a device

Not sure if I still need logcat for that

[fallen compass]

this sounds like you're doing it wrong

you have to put the apk file on the device, then use the folder/files app to go to that apk and tap it to install it

[tidal island]

Yeah thats what I did 👍

[fallen compass]

then use the logcat.

[tidal island]

alr

is logcat an app or a tool in unity?

[fallen compass]

You googled the error yeah?
https://www.google.com/search?q=android+apk+there+was+a+problem+parsing+the+package&oq=android+apk+there+was&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyBggBEEUYOTIICAIQABgWGB7SAQgzODQ4ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

[tidal island]

Yes

basically a corrupted apk normally

but in this case

idk

I tried a clean apk install

[fallen compass]

because the list of things you said you tried, which wouldn't have any affect, aren't gonna do anything

[tidal island]

build I meant

[tidal island]

Okay

So api version 34

what android version would that need

[iron acorn]

Google

[tidal island]

ahh thats probably why

my phone doesnt support android 14

[iron acorn]

If you say you need that version, you must also know what android version that is.😅

[tidal island]

ill try it on my sisters phone

alr ty guys

cya

getting the s24 ultra in a few days so itll work

[fallen compass]

you know there's also a difference between the TARGET api version and the MINIMUM api version?

[tidal island]

I actually didn't haha

I just saw they were originally both the same version number, so I assumed they are always the same

[fallen compass]

Target needs to be what Google requires (33 currently), minimum can be lower

If they were always the same, there would be no point in having the two and being able to change them separately

Don't use foreground services.

i dont know how to turn off

please teach me sir

[brazen birch]

I can't, there isn't enough information, sorry. But something in your project is requesting access to use the service. It's being added to the manifest. You need to figure out why and stop it, or change how you request the service and declare it on the website. I can't provide any details beyond what the website says unfortunately.

[marble jacinth]

one of my prefabs is saying that it's unrecognised and can't be included in the bundle:

Unrecognized assets cannot be included in AssetBundle: "Assets/Resources/StoryPrefab/StoryPageTemplate.prefab".
UnityEditor.BuildPipeline:BuildAssetBundles (string,UnityEditor.BuildAssetBundleOptions,UnityEditor.BuildTarget)
CreateAssetBundles:BuildAllAssetBundles (string) (at Assets/Editor/CreateAssetBundles.cs:24)
CreateAssetBundles:BuildAllAssetBundlesResources () (at Assets/Editor/CreateAssetBundles.cs:16)

what would be causing that? I have a lot of prefabs that are just working, including the sub-prefabs that are used in it

[marble jacinth]

I think this might be why. what is that?

[iron acorn]

Does it reference a script that is not included in the original project?

[marble jacinth]

Might do, thank you

Oh wait no, it can't

I made all the scripts

It does use spine animation components though

Maybe the prefabs shouldn't be in an asset bundle

[iron acorn]

Asset bundles only allow referencing scripts and components that are included in the main build.

[marble jacinth]

Gotcha

I'll fix that up, thank you

[ebon path]

I've also asked this in #archived-shaders but since it seems it might also be a mobile problem, I'll ask it here

so I have a ShaderGraph that creates my water texture, it's ripples, etc. The thing is, idk why, but it doesn't export to mobile. I've built to my Samsung S23+ plus multiple times and I JUST realized the shader isn't showing up at all, although in the game view in Unity, the shader shows up and is correct.
Maybe it's because I'm using URP? I'm not sure. I have no experience with shaders and no clue where to start when it comes to troubleshooting

The last image is my water on my phone. It seems the shaders solid color is showing, with its alpha value. But the voronoi noise I'm using for the ripples isn't working/showing

[marble jacinth]

Is it computed voronoi or texture cached?

The simplest thing to do is to just use a texture that does what you want. Vastly faster, no curly mobile shader issues

[hearty oriole]

Hello, I need assistance. The graphics on my PC look good, but when I test them on my phone using Unity Remote, the graphics appear very pixelated. I have set the resolution to landscape 1920x1080, and my phone has an FHD+ resolution of 2280 x 1080. I want the game to look the same on every device. I only speak German and have limited English proficiency, so I might need some time to respond as I use Google Translate. Thank you for your help!

[brazen birch]

Unity remote isn't the real application. You need to actually build it and run it on the phone. If it doesn't look good in the actual build, you need to adjust the quality settings as PC and mobile will use different quality configurations.

Hi, it's been another week and i'm still stuck on this... I would really really appreciate ANY help or tips please!
