[neat furnace]

So, maybe I solved this problem, now trying build again

I was confused with App ID and Interact ID or smth

App id - on all app

Interact ID - only for AD

[deep star]

why it stucked for 30 minutes

oh nothing it is now "unstucked"

[glossy sluice]

I have a game that looks perfect on an ipad and then when i change it to a phone it looks horrible ( the art looks bad) can anyone help me fix that?

[fallen compass]

not if you don't show anything

[glossy sluice]

ok 1 minute

[fallen compass]

Looks like you're using Text and not TextMeshPro

[glossy sluice]

nope

im using text mesh pro

but its also the balloon

it looks horrible

[glossy sluice]

is there a solution?

[odd arrow]

@glossy sluice Did you try resetting scale slider on the player window?

[glossy sluice]

how do i do that

[fallen compass]

move this up to 100 .. but the device then won't fit on screen, but it'll let you check the quality.

[glossy sluice]

the quality didnt change

i want to make it look good on phones

[odd arrow]

You need to step back and review your settings. Maybe create a test scene with defaults to see how it looks. You might have changed scaling on objects or pixel per unit settings, etc.

[glossy sluice]

is there some guide out here to learn the basics principles of an idle (plays itself) mobile game rpg style?

[dapper portal]

So everything looks fine on the model in Windows build, but when I switched to Mobile it made this happen to my Normal Maps. Anyone know how to fix this?

Weird part is it isn't the whole model

[brazen birch]

Not sure if it helps, but I have RPG Quest 2 in the store (free self playing idle RPG, text based) in the store fronts.

It took a lot longer than I anticipated.

I'm happy to answer questions, but not sure if there are resources out there. I just kind of pushed it through

[plush copper]

Hi guys, any one could help me get through the android TV support learning? Where I should start and if there a clear complete guide for that (ping me please)

[scarlet berry]

are you talking about the balancing or the game mechanics to keep players hooked?

I'd start with checking for the issues on their github and looking for the sqlite3 plugin in the project and make sure it's configured properly

[glossy sluice]

im trying to export to android and i keep getting this error: A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.res.Aapt2ProcessResourcesRunnable See the Console for details.

[analog plover]

See the Console for details

[glossy sluice]

not really, im talking about the general architecture how to build a game with backend in mind i guess, from what i understand so far, unity can act as a client and i saw there were some already made backend solutions but those come at the cost obviously, so idk what people do in general, i guess that main thing im looking for is "how to design a game to which i can add multiplayer later on". I was also wondering if it exists defined techniques as to how to organize a RPG style game, like how people made frameworks for the web, things like that

[knotty mesa]

I'm having a really hard time building for android on Unity 2022

it gets stuck building scene 0

and resolving android dependencies

I dont even know where to start

i get this but updating doesnt work

[knotty mesa]

if i use highest installed it gets stuck here

for context its a very casual game with small memory and performance footprint

[lapis tree]

I think nobody knows the solution for this.

[rain leaf]

could be just a placeholder

[lapis tree]

Like how.explain.

Any method.

[rain leaf]

What to explain?
It might be just a general placeholder for test ads

[lapis tree]

i kept the placeholders but its still showing interstitial. i checked admob also there is no error.

is there something to do with ads-app.txt in domain.

if its that the error. then how to put ads-app.txt on domain does anyone know.

Hi
Has anyone had issues with “ installing CocoaPods “ ?
I’m on an Apple M3 pro.

[urban moon]

Anyone of you having issues with latest IAP 4.12.0 package aswell ? Google play console is throwing errors in almost every build i upload and users have reported login problems. May in conflict with (Firebase Authentification 12.0.0 or Google Play Games plugin for Unity v11.01 or Level Play 8.1.1) ?

[bleak stump]

i should use show or load intertial ads ?

been trying to clone a project from Domestika and open it with the correct version in Unity, but the entire project keeps loading with blank files and nothing in the editor. I have tried using a new version too and have had pretty much the same result. What could I be doing wrong here?

[rain leaf]

something like this?
frames++
or maybe you mean optimizations?

hi, a have a video player with an mp4 which just plays once at the start of my game, for some reason, it works perfectly on the editor but when trying it on a build on my phne it just doesn't play and the app freezes. I suposse it has something to do with the coded but i have no idea what to do.

[tawny wind]

My game crashing when using android 14 ?? Unity version: 2022.1.23f1
Any explanation ?

[sleek eagle]

Check logcat (and update to LTS, that version is old)

[tawny wind]

What unity version is LTS that has fixed this problem ? It's not showing for me

[sleek eagle]

the latest 2022lts version, something like 2022.3.36 or something

[tawny wind]

I downloaded the 2022.3.0 and actually I don't find the 34 API level. How could I add that?

[sleek eagle]

Why did you get the oldest version there is?
There have been 1-2 years of updates

Just get the latest via unity hub

That version definitely has bugs/issues

[tawny wind]

I find that last LTS version is 2021

And I'm in an old unity hub version since I have problems with installing with the new version.

[sleek eagle]

There also is a 2022 version from last week or so

[sleek eagle]

Maybe fix that then 🤔

[tawny wind]

Maybe if you could try to provide me the version number

[tawny wind]

Tried a lot of ways that time. best solution for me to downgrade the unity hub

[sleek eagle]

I did...

[tawny wind]

Okay I will try that.

[tawny wind]

Same issue, Didn't find 34 API level

[rain leaf]

have you transcode the video yet?

[dapper portal]

if it is just checking it the box then yeah, i don't know if i should do anything else

i managed to make it work, it had to do with the script it had, i changed it a little and now it works, but i really don't know WHY it works

basically, before i had the next scene loaded as an async process and it changed to it when the mp4 finished, and after deleting that now it works

[pine ferry]

Unity hub will install all that automatically. I am not going to dive into making a workaround for a workaround. Fix the original issue, being unity hub

[pliant relic]

guys does anyone know if i can put 3d objects from blender into 2d game for android? cuz there are sprites in unity and i m note sure if they are convertable from 3d to 2d,did not see useful youtube guides on it.Like can i just change the 2d model to 3d and keep the physics of 2d model?

[worn vine]

@pliant relic hi you can use the render texture from 3d camera, or google 2.5 d game on unity

Is it necessary to say I use encryption in App Store if encryption used in API only and I have no idea what kind of encryption?

[pliant relic]

oh okay thx,i ll check it out

[tawny wind]

I tried that. Now it's the same thing....

[sleek eagle]

Did you install Unity with android and both submodules via the hub? @tawny wind

[tawny wind]

Yes

[vague violet]

been testing my game for multiple devices recently. hooked a Lenovo tablet to my pc and turned on debugging mode.

For some reason the terrain on it is super low res and text doesn't show, even though everything else in the game works. Game works normally on my main phone and pc built version. Anyone can help me here?

[worn vine]

Hi, my idea was to store SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier to user account for the case if he uninstalled app and lose data to be able to restore his data based on deviceUniqueIdentifier but it is always different after reinstall app on iOS is there way to get uniq number for each iOS device?

[cunning heron]

everything looks low res cause you exported it as low res. theres option for low medium and high

uncheck low and check on high.

[rain leaf]

The value changes when the user deletes all of that vendor’s apps from the device and subsequently reinstalls one or more of them. The value can also change when installing test builds using Xcode or when installing an app on a device using ad-hoc distribution. Therefore, if your app stores the value of this property anywhere, you should gracefully handle situations where the identifier changes.
Source:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uidevice/1620059-identifierforvendor

I think it might be better if you use Apple ID to save player data instead

[worn vine]

Thank you! I got it. - It is changing only because I run build directly from Xcode. Looks like if I distribute app it should be unique for device and same after reinstall.

[finite tiger]

How do I get rid of these errors when building for Android? 😔

[lapis tree]

change the highest level api...

And it's Mono, not ilcpp2 😔

Okayy it worked when I set it to 34

ok.

I am looking to set up saving games to the cloud for ios - what route would you recommend? I'd like the game restore on a new device to be automatic (like google play services) if possible. thanks in advance!

[worn vine]

@fluid marten I use Unity.Authentication services Facebook login to cross platform save in my Android/iOS game. But I didn’t release it yet so don’t know how it will be going. Right now looks like everything is working (tested myself only).

[kind basalt]

Does anyone have experience with the GPGS API? I did everything this guy does in the video, but I'm not able to log in with Google Play Games. (I'm testing it on the app on my phone, which I downloaded via Google Play internal testing).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D-WcSXZD_U

I think the only difference is that I got the SHA1 without going into the Java bin, I used the keytool command from the home directory.

[tired lily]

sounds like the wrong hash if you're using an internal test build. Use the app signing key cert fingerprint

[kind basalt]

ok. i'm gonna try

[knotty finch]

I'm trying to build an app using In App Purchasing and Google Play Games Plugin. I needed to upgrade the In App Purchases plugin to use the latest Google Play Billing, as they're deprecating the older version, and now I'm getting duplicate class errors from gradle regarding Jetifier.

I tried deleting resolved packages, enabling Jetifier, disabling, deleting the External Packages resolver and reimporting ... I tried basically everything, nothing fixes this error.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[tired lily]

did you wipe everything the resolver downloaded? sometimes it leaves remnants

[fluid marten]

thanks, I'll check this out

No clue what they mean, any tips?

why whenever i close unity i open it another day or time the ui it just ruins itself?

it was like this

[brazen birch]

Those aren't the same canvases though. Ones a prefab and the broke one is not.

But hard to say what's happening without looking at how you are setting up your UI. Unity has a pretty wonky UI system and a lot can go wrong with it unfortunately.

@knotty finch @solid lake
Enable "Custom Main Gradle Template", "Custom Gradle Settings Template", "Custom Gradle Properties Template" and "custom androidmanifest" in player settings

[knotty finch]

I tried that, but let me try again.

[urban moon]

resolve afterwards

if still not working try changing your settings for External dependency manager (EDM -> android resolver -> Settings) and enable:
Patch AndroidManifest.xml, patch mainTemplate.gradle, patch gradleTemplate.properties, copy and patch settingsTemplate.gradle from 2022.2

and resolve again. It should generate a "GeneratedLocalRepo" in your asset folder and remove plugins from Plugins-> Android

[knotty finch]

Execution failed for task ':unityLibrary:generateReleaseRFile'.

  The project declares repositories, effectively ignoring the repositories you have declared in the settings.
  You can figure out how project repositories are declared by configuring your build to fail on project repositories.

Thank you very much @urban moon
I enabled "Custom Main Gradle Template" ("Custom Gradle Settings Template", "Custom Gradle Properties Template" and "Custom Main Manifest" were already enable. Also "Custom Launcher Manifest" is disabled and I left it so)
I resolved, then built and I got some new errors. To fix those I had to add "namespace 'com.unity3d.player'" inside the new mainTemplate.gradle and to disable "Optimized Frame Pacing " from Adrnoid's "Resolution & Presentation" project settings.
I resolved again, built again and got again duplicate classes errors.

I wanted to try your 2nd solution (enable "Patch AndroidManifest.xml, patch mainTemplate.gradle, patch gradleTemplate.properties, copy and patch settingsTemplate.gradle from 2022.2") but those are already enabled (see the screenshot with the content of the GeneratedLocalRepo folder).
See the attached txt with the duplicate classes errors I still get.

@everyone can somebody help me with google admob ads implementation?

My problem is the android build. On editor, ads works fine, but when I try to build it for android devices, I get some errors and build fails.

I have updated the unity project at 2022.3.16f1 and admob plugin v9.1.1

[pine vigil]

it was vulkan :v jajaja ty ;D

[urban moon]

Are there still files in your plugins/android folder .aar .jar (plugins) ?

it will be necessary to delete them once. they shouldnt be generated on resolve.

it can be necessary to clear the library folder once too, or fresh reimport external software like firebase.

[urban moon]

have you followed all steps exactly like i said.

[knotty finch]

Yes

[urban moon]

according the message you are missing a required plugin. Sounds like your google play plugin is misconfigured or not imported correctly.

[knotty finch]

It's not, but I can try again

[urban moon]

is the plugin inside the GeneratedLocalRepo after resolving

if not the edm settings may still not setup correctly. Check if generate local folder for dependencys is enabled or something like that (not on a pc currently)

Hey all, just a quick question surrounding debugging android builds from visual studio. I've created a development built, enabled script debugging and when I hit the launch unity debugger from VS I can see my device listed. However, it never actually connects. I get the little cursor loading wheel for a few seconds and then nothing happens

I get no useful output from logcat, I'm about to try setting up another device to see if the issue persists, but if anyone has any thoughts or ideas that would be great

Hi, I successfully published my game on App Store but Google banned my developer account with a reason my game contains Malware what should I do?

[neon thicket]

Not sure what you want us to do. Ask Google for clarification? Maybe look at your game and figure out what would be considered Malware (assuming you didn't intentionally do something)

[worn vine]

I ask here, because maybe there is someone in the channel who already faced similar problem. My app is very clear that the problem there cannot be any malware inside.

[neon thicket]

Google seems to think so, so you need to convince them otherwise?

[glossy sluice]

i cant make it go android

trying to upload a avi on vrc

and it for some reason i can add modules

[alpine grail]

anyone know how to get a more detailed error code on android builds?
i wanna see what line of code is failing if possible

[worn vine]

game over I try to convince them and got the answer (it is funny coz they review my app 6 days but this answer is immediately) - After reviewing your appeal, we have confirmed our initial decision and will not be able to reinstate your developer account.

[neon thicket]

Well, then you will need to figure out why they thought so, and then avoid it next time.

[worn vine]

I have no next time it is over I cannot create new account and my current account is banned, and they give no explanation

[neon thicket]

I mean, when you make a new account

What was even your app, anyway?

[worn vine]

Math game for childrens

[neon thicket]

Did you collect data in any way?

[worn vine]

DeviceID facebook in game ID and saved Player game currency thats all

[neon thicket]

None of that is COPPA compliant I'd imagine. But tracking the DeviceID sure sounds like malware on paper, to me. There's no reason you need that?

[worn vine]

The reason was to find the user in database if user need support but looks like it was bad idea

[neon thicket]

Typically, especially with a kids game, that would be done with an account owned by the parent, yeah.

[worn vine]

Well, I can try to go Amazon or Samsung stores

[fallen compass]

I'm positive device ID is considered private/ personal data, which requires you to declare it when you're filling out the data privacy forms. I'm also pretty sure you can't collect this sort of data for an app aimed at children

[fallen compass]

Use the Android Logcat package - install via the package manager. Connect it to your device when running your game, it'll spit out loads of info, hopefully something useful

[pulsar violet]

Have IOS trouble don't work scroll properly or event trigger (Drop, OnBeginDrag) not sure. But it works on Android and WebGl

Seems like event triggers just won't work

[sonic otter]

are you using dynamics?

Got it, doesn't reveal to me what is triggering the error

[pulsar violet]

What you mean? I use EventTriggers for snap content such as Drop and BeginDrag. And not use new input system

If turn new input and upgrade event system could it help?

Hello, I'm having some build issues that are making me tear my hair out.

Google tells me that I have to update to at least SDK 34. Ok fine, I do that.
When I do that, Unity tells me that I need at least Gradle 8.0. Ok fine, I point the external tools at a local copy of Gradle 8.0.2. No problem.
When I did that, Gradle tells me that I need at least JDK 17. I pointed Unity's JDK at a local copy of JDK 17. Problem! Unity refuses to use anything other than its pre-installed version of JDK 11.0.14.1+1.

Why am I in this Catch-22? And can anyone help me out with it?

[sonic otter]

I think you'd have to redo the process of installing the JDK through Unity instead of using a local copy. They have extra stuff in their JDK that normal one doesn't include

I tried doing the same thing of pointing Unity's JDK to the one installed through android studio and vice versa and it failed for me

[austere tartan]

I don't think that'll fix it since it forces JDK 11. Right now I've upgraded the project to Unity 6 because it comes with JDK 17 and am building. That might just be the fix, unfortunately...

I was able to export the project and build it through Android Studio, but the process was... a lot.

[sonic otter]

Oh man, yeah I haven't messed with v6 at all yet so I don't know the changes

[austere tartan]

I had to delete and renew all of my gradle template files, but updating to unity 6 worked.

Hi everyone, hoping everyone having a good time, i wanted to ask a few questions
-which unity 3d editor version is the best to use atm

• should we use api 34 or 35 as target api currently?
• and according to the api , which versions of admob sdk, applovin sdk, firebase sdk, etc should we use , im kinda confused cuz i have to upgrade a projects api from 33 to 34 but having some issues

[sleek eagle]

Use the latest 2022LTS, that has the API required to publish apps
Use the latest target API with that (in player settings just use latest as the option)
Not sure about the sdks, haven't worked with them

[winged cairn]

I have a slight problem because I added the Firebase plugin to Unity as I want to set up push notifications, and now Unity won't generate an AAB for Google, showing that the Gradle version is too low. 😦
Do you know any solution for this?

Hey! I'm trying to build for android in Unity 6.0.10f and i keep getting " java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity"

I tried using a custom AndroidManifest.xml and setting the theme, but it won't take. Anyone know why? I don't know where the styles.xml is

[brazen birch]

Agreed with the above, 2022 LTS is stable. For target API, you want 34+ for Google play, and 32 exactly for Meta. The higher you can go for Google play the longer that version can stay in the store

[haughty escarp]

Hi, devs! We're trying to implement Mobile Notifications on our Android & iOS game. For Android, we've seen an Android Notification Center, which seems to be the only way to customize the icons of the notifications. We are using AndroidNotificationCenter.SendNotification function but it doesn't work (nothing executed). However, Android Notification Center is initialized because we are also receiving ID from the scheduled notification (not sent). Another way is NotificationCenter.ScheduleNotification, and executing this the notification is received, but without the icon customization. What are we doing wrong? This is frustrating!!

Thanks in advance!

[manic nebula]

Hi! Does anyone get these crashes on Android after upgrade to API level 34 ?

Hi @urban moon
I have the same problem with IAP 4.12.2 and Unity 2023.2.20f1
I tried what you say here and deleted the .aar and .jar files inside Plugins/Android folder, I also "Force Resolve" and "Deleted Resolved Libraries" with Android Resolver

And now I have this error:

In mainTemplate.gradle, I just deleted the dependencies that were causing the problem.

In my case, these two.

Interesting. I get an instant crash saying my theme doesnt derive from Theme.Compat. I thought it might be related to the unity version as its a brand new project

Hello people!
I have some experience with unity and I have few question :

How is close is mobile developpement to "normal" developpement ? Is it just the input/control part that changes ?
Can I build for android and IOS with the same project ? I know it used to be possible, but the forums online with that question are a bit old, so I'd like a confirmation please

[fallen compass]

Can I build for android and IOS with the same project ?

Yes, nothing has changed, don't know why it ever would.

@craggy marsh ☝️

You'll probably need some android specific bits and some iOS specific bits - when interacting with things outside of the app, so learn about platform code defines

im working on a project on unity i want to put it on mobile - first person horror game. i've run into some performance issues. is it a good idea to hire a shader programmer to make the specific shaders wich would be highly optimized for urp project for mobile or do i settle with default urp shaders like lit and simple lit?

[quasi osprey]

does is lag in editor, build, or both

[balmy nest]

What is this kind of popup called and how do I add one of these to my own game? (It shows up on the bottom center of the screen on android when an app sends it. It seems to be a pretty standard android thing, not an in-app thing)

Aha! It's called a toast notification

[tame vault]

[gilded furnace]

How show a leaderboard in my project?

[vague violet]

would you like your leaderboard synced online or offline? this also isnt a mobile thing

[vague violet]

fun fact about android: the default max FPS is 30

set Application.targetFrameRate

[gilded furnace]

Its a leaderboard of cloud Unity a take de valué in a var but i dont know how show

[fallen compass]

The documentation will tell you.

[quasi osprey]

this new thing with google needing 20 people to opt in to your closed test is so cringe.

[gilded furnace]

I dont see in documentation

[vague violet]

https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/leaderboards/manual/get-started

official full step by step tutorial

to focus on the part you were looking for, how to take a variable from the leaderboards, an example is https://services.docs.unity.com/leaderboards/#tag/Leaderboards/operation/getLeaderboardScoresByPlayerIds

[gilded furnace]

Need convert JSON and save in a list? @vague violet

[vague violet]

up to you?

if you're relying on leaderboards for data storing then this is not the way to go

[gilded furnace]

I dont need storing, only show in a panel

[vague violet]

yea its up to you

i dont use unity cloud so idk how sorting the leaderboardw would work if you stored the score as json\

[gilded furnace]

You use firebase or other?

[vague violet]

mainly playfab and making my own backend in python flask

making your own backend in flask is a great learning experience, though not very secure

[vague violet]

not sure if it works but one way to get around this is by email salting. [e-mail] and [e-mail] are the same, though many systems will think they're different.

you can invite yourself 20 times 😃

[quasi osprey]

can I get in trouble for that tho?

[vague violet]

nah

what are they gonna do

[quasi osprey]

wag their finger at me 😦

[vague violet]

ive also been publishing to the play store today

my old game got removed because my old website died so there was no privacy policy link

even though the "privacy policy" is a 5kb document "no data collected"

[quasi osprey]

dang. do you gotta get 20 downloads too?

[vague violet]

around there yea

i was just using it to test google play store publication

i did alpha release of a bigger game today, waiting for it to get approved

[vague violet]

oh as in 20 referrals? no

i did an open test so i didnt see it

[quasi osprey]

oh it doesn't let me do an open test until I have "access to publication" which needs 20 testers opt-in

I think it might be because it's my first publication?

[vague violet]

idk if it was the case for me

[quasi osprey]

yeah it's a new thing

[vague violet]

its been a while

[vague violet]

big yikes

idk if the users must install the app

if so then its big sad

[quasi osprey]

it is very annoying. They don't have to download it but they have to opt in through the website and I have to put there emails on the tester's list

Pretty sure you can also bypass that with a business account though, we haven't had to worry about it.

[craggy marsh]

Hey! I have a question :
I'm currently learning to developp for mobile, so I'm watching many tutorials, the usual. The guy I'm currently watching always start his tutorial by reminding I should start by changing the build environnement to android, because he test his games on android.
Can someone confirm that if my games works for android, I just have to change the environnement to iOS and I'll be able to build for iphone without issues ?

[fallen compass]

no, that is not the case

[craggy marsh]

ah 😅 are you implying that if I want to make a game for ios and android, I'll have to make 2 projects ?

[fallen compass]

No, I did not imply that whatsoever

Nor is that what you asked, you're leaping to conclusions.

[craggy marsh]

Could you clarify how stuff happen to build on android and iOS ? Do I just change the build environnement ?

[fallen compass]

Do I just change the build environnement ?

yes

[craggy marsh]

Ok so I did just have to change the environnement to iOS 😅

[brazen birch]

You use the same project for multiple platforms. However not everything works on every platform. You may have an old plugin that doesn't support new android or ios, or other issues. ARFoundation is a great example of something built into Unity that intentionally doesn't support the same features on both devices

Typically, I recommend (when using a new engine) to do the following:

• create a basic project
• add the plugins / assets you are expecting to use
• setup some basic scenes
• switch platforms and build test for android
• switch platforms and build test for apple

That will at least get you familiar with the entire build pipeline and let you check the assets and shaders and plugins that you want to use, as well as letting you document your build process.

Later, once you have a better idea of what is stable etc, you won't need to really do that. But by then you'll have reusable templates

[craggy marsh]

Thank you! That's much more clear 😁 I'll keep the advices in mind!

[brazen birch]

The reason for for the early test is to let you change any plugins that aren't working before getting too far in. It's rarish, like 9 out of 10 will be fine. But it'll be really hard for you early on to redo a shader or rewrite a plugin

[fallen compass]

your question was

and I'll be able to build for iphone without issues ?

And that will not be the case, you will probably run into issues building iOS because things differ.

[craggy marsh]

Yeah I got that part, it's similar to others good practice from other environnement 😁

[craggy marsh]

my question was more about getting clarification than a yes/no answer ^^"

[ancient geode]

Hey guys, how do you build (virtual machine) and test the IOS version of your game without having un iphone ?

I don't mean publishing, really just testing

[tired lily]

switch target sdk in build settings from device sdk to simulator sdk

[ancient geode]

oh that still exist, nice !

And if someone want to test it on an iphone, do I have to have a dev apple account, even if I don't publish on the store ?
I mean on Android I can simply send the apk.

[analog plover]

Yes, you do need a dev account for other people to test on iOS

[sterile horizon]

what about side loading it with something like sideloadly?

Apple has introduced a new feature in Xcode 7 that allows you to deploy and run any number of apps on any of your devices, simply by logging in with your Apple ID. You will no longer need a paid Program membership to deploy apps on your own device (and you certainly no longer have to jailbreak your device if you're not comfortable doing so).

[sterile horizon]

I take that back, for others to test the app, yes you need a Dev account.

[ancient geode]

ok ok, good to know, thanks 🙂

[sterile horizon]

I am slowly working down that road myself. Trying to make a fairly simple app for ios/android. Haven't messed with unity in years though so it is a bit of a learning curve trying to re-learn some of this

i want to implement Firebase+googleadmob+applovin with api34
can anyone give me list of the versions ill need for each of these versions please

[balmy nest]

so, after building to iOS, how do i sideload to my iphone? My result was a bunch of files. I'm on windows 11 if that matters

[heavy wraith]

After building in iOS on a PC, you need a Mac. Copy the files over, open in XCode, configure your account signing and other project settings, build and then you can run it on your plugged in tablet or phone. There is supposedly a way to build on a remove server, but I've frequently seen folks having issues with it.

[balmy nest]

So, no way for free on Windows 11?

[heavy wraith]

Most iOS devs seem to just do all the development on the Mac as that is easier and skips a few steps.

Not that I am aware of, no.

Hi, I'm new to unity development and i tried to create a simple mobile game to know basic mechanics but I don't know how to adapt the game resolution to all phone devices and fix the low frame rate bug (which occurs only when i play the game on a phone, on the unity editor frame rate is ok).

[humble gyro]

Hey everyone, i'm have issue to build for android. I have error with my gradle. I have Firebase, Google SignIn and Facebook Auth Atm. I'm looking for someone who understand gradle or who is able to give me some direction to looking forward. Thanks a lot

[sleek eagle]

1. Unity should have scalable resolutions by default. For UI use the canvas scaler (plenty of guides online)
2. For performance, check the profiler while running the game (debug build, autoconnect profiler)
   2.1 When using URP disable SSAO for starters, aka use the low quality tier to start

[sleek eagle]

Any reason not to update to the latest LTS?

[haughty escarp]

That's what I finally did, and I was able to build for Android 34. Not 35 for now...

[sleek eagle]

35 isn't required anywhere afaik. Once it is it should be in a Unity update

[haughty escarp]

Yeah I think so!

Hello

I think it's a very common problem when connecting to Google Play Games Services

*** [Play Games Plugin 0.11.01] 07.26.24 8:17:11 +03:00 ERROR: Returning an error code.
System.Action:Invoke()
GooglePlayGames.OurUtils.PlayGamesHelperObject:Update()

I tried to insert both the SHA from my keystore and the sha generated by Google (there are two of them, one is a regular one and the other is an upload) into the OAuth Android client, but it didn't help, it still pops up

should I create 3 different Android clients with different sha? Or could the problem be something else?

[gleaming steeple]

1. The canvas is ok, the problem is the resolution of camera on GameObjects (already tried with 16:9 and 18:9 resolution, but it results stretched on phone).
2. I'm already doing that.
   2.1 The game i created is 2D and doesn't have a SSAO setting.

[sleek eagle]

1. Which Unity version? And do you modify the scale of the objects?
   With the default Unity templates I never saw stretching. Maybe check the resolution settings in Player settings

2. And what does the profiler say?

[gleaming steeple]

1.1 Unity 2022.3
1.2 Yes
2. On PC (Editor) varies from 60 to 250 FPS and on mobile varies from 15 to 60 FPS.

[sleek eagle]

Maybe there is another bugfix if it's a bug

If you manually adjust the scale, it's probably a code issue there

For the performance profile it and see

[copper knoll]

Maybe someone has encountered this and knows how to solve the problem?

[tired lily]

you'll need to provide more detail than that. Hopefully there's more info in the android logs

Game works everywhere, except on IOS - it freezes after the unity logo, The weird thing is - everything seems to load in the background, the push notifications, Ironsource and etc.

any ideas how to debug this?

logs are basically empty, it all stops after ironsource initialization

[fallen compass]

read the console in XCode while it's running

[mild warren]

there's nothing there, it's normal logs and then they just stop

after ironsource is initialisd

[fallen compass]

Gonna have to be more manual then to track down where it's happening. First thing to do is disable ironsource and see what happens

[mild warren]

yeah, guess so. Thanks

i am experiencing an error saying Gradle build failed, I googled how to fix it, I watched youtube videos, and i havent tried this yet, so i thought it was worth a shot. I literally googled gradle build failed unity error.

lol, there are billions (slight exaggeration) of reasons why you'd get a gradle build error.. like I said in the other channel, FIND the actual error in the console.. and google that line

googling "gradle build unity error" will get you no where

if you think the error is "a gradle error", you haven't even begun debugging it

the last guy was apparently stuck on that for two weeks too because he couldn't be bothered to read that text box, or look at what the errors were

New editor version, blank project built successfully 👍🏾, how does that help me find the issue(sorry of my questions seem dumb I'm a beginner)

[harsh parrot]

I'm having some issues that only seem to appear when testing on mobile, and not in the editor. I was hoping anything that worked in the editor would work on mobile, since the game is not performance intensive. What are the potential causes of differences of this sort?

[tired lily]

it lets you rule out config/sdk/ndk issues which can be complicated to fix. Did you upgrade your project to the new editor version (better use source control) and try again? The next steps are to start ripping pieces out (or adding dependencies to the blank project) until you figure out which thing is breaking the build

[harsh parrot]

(in my particular case it seems related to Dotween.Sequence.AppendInterval(), i.e. ui elements waiting for specific periods of time with the idea of syncing with other effects)

[tired lily]

you'll have to provide more info. The hardware and capabilities are totally different than a dev machine so your hope will lead to frustration. Test early and often

[harsh parrot]

I guess you should never use wait-for-given-time controls then, and always use events?

[tired lily]

no, sure you can. There isn't anything that stands out about your case in particular, which is why we need more info

[harsh parrot]

maybe I need to read the pinned thing about mobile performance

[autumn prairie]

So which one do I do? Build the project in the new upgraded editor version? Or add things to the clean project?

[tired lily]

unless you've written your code in some weird way that fails at 30 fps, that's probably not your problem

[tired lily]

whichever of those is easier

[harsh parrot]

yeah I was just asking to see if there were common theoretical fail points for discrepencies between editor and mobile, since there appears to be several phone-unique behaviours with my game and I'm not quite sure where to start with that besides just arbitrarily changing the implementation and seeing if it works

[winged mist]

How do I fix this?

[tired lily]

See the Console for details, and then Google solutions to the error(s) there

[winged mist]

already did it

[tired lily]

Don't you think that maybe posting what the errors are would be helpful?

[tired lily]

well the top one in this channel is not understanding that mobile-only sdks only run on mobile, ex: "the ads work in the editor"-type problems. Your code by itself doesn't raise any flags, unless it's somehow frame rate sensitive

[tired lily]

are you trying to build with api 32? Why?

[winged mist]

to be honest it's my first time using unity, so i'm kinda lost, so I don't know how to answer your question

[tired lily]

set target api level to 34 and minimum to 24, then rebuild. Unity might prompt you to download it

[winged mist]

where do I set this?

[tired lily]

Player Settings > Android > Identification

[tired lily]

there is a shortcut to it from the build settings, but it's the Player option in the right window

[winged mist]

found it

[winged mist]

it worked! thanks!

Does anyone know if an android build on a chromebook with "Chrome OS Input Emulation" disabled will Input.GetJoystickNames() report the keyboard as a connected input device?

EDIT: Tested with the chromebook emulator and yes it looks like a device named "qwerty2" gets connected, however annoyingly this seems to be an emulator specific device.. https://android.googlesource.com/device/generic/goldfish/+/refs/tags/android-platform-12.1.0_r17/input/qwerty2.idc

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to subclass the AppDelegate for an iOS unity project, but running into a dead end. Does anyone know if there's some documentation or similar around this?

[warm isle]

hi can anyone help me pls?
https://discussions.unity.com/t/gradle-build-fail-after-importing-google-admob-into-project/1495482

[tired lily]

some snippets in this thread were helpful https://discussions.unity.com/t/unity-appcontroller-subclassing/510386/47 otherwise might as well ask here

[tired lily]

try again with target api 34

[rain leaf]

have you check the "render outside safe area setting"?

[frigid gulch]

That's probably it, will check when I have time. Big thanks 👍

[slate ruin]

what is this

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':unityLibrary:androidJdkImage'. See the Console for details.

it updated SDK

[unreal fox]

i cannot build my game to android

in windows i can

android cannot

[sacred creek]

How do you know, you cant build?

[unreal fox]

i solve the problem

thanks

[unreal fox]

@sacred creek

i take a another problem

just on android

[sacred creek]

Please dont mention me just for attention. I will roam around channels now and then, like everyone else does. And maybe write down your problem instead of waiting for me or anyone to ask what the problem is.

[slate ruin]

Ahh you got the easy one

Change your API levels

It will ask you to update sdk before building

I think just don't use the lowest one and instead of using "highest" option select the actuall highest

@unreal fox

lucky you

My problem everyone ignores 🤣

Anyway if what i said doesn't work just make a project backup and reinstall sdk unity whatever

[slate ruin]

heres my error, i tryed hell lot of things, nothing worked out for me, begging for help

for context im trying to build for android and some unity library jdkimage cant be resolved. for windows obviosly it builds with no problems.

same thing happens in both newer and older version, even when the whole project is just one scene with TMP

[tired lily]

Is your username actually "?ura"? You might have a nonstandard char in there that's confusing it

[slate ruin]

no way

if thats the problem

im gonna break my screen

i do have a wierd ass character in there

[slate ruin]

My god i think it was the Đ actually

Cause I made a new windows user and it worked

Thank you ❤️

(im gonna break the screen once I finish the project)

It's a nice 160hz 1440p ultrawide but fuck it

How does the "Render Over Native UI" project setting work? I have it enabled and when I build to android, I can still see the os buttons on the bottom when I swipe up. I'm wanting to disable the swipe up feature completely during gameplay in my app

I've tried all the solutions, of course

But the problem was with my version of Unity

I installed another version and it worked successfully

Hello guys, i struggle with building a game for iOS since i moved from 2021.3.15f1 to 2022.3.34f1. To be more precise it finishes build but when it comes to archive stage (xcode) it fails with error

where x looks like my bundle identificator (mygame.dev.testflight)
I wasted 2 weeks trying different things and reading forums, no result

Hello
how can I Build game on IOS?
I Build the game and I got all this:

[heavy wraith]

You'll need to open the project in XCode on a Mac, configure the project correctly for signing and other specific settings for your project. Then build and run on a device to debug. For larger testing and distribution there are tools like Testflight you can investigate.

[molten axle]

ok I dont have a Mac

[heavy wraith]

Then there is no practical path for successful iOS development for you. I'd focus instead on PC/Android.

I've seen workflows using Cloud services for building and test, but the discussions always bring up a lot of issues and limitations. It doesn't appear to be a long term path for success.

[molten axle]

the game is for Android
but my friend has IOS he need to try it

[heavy wraith]

The sad truth is Mobile development isn't well-suited for indies and hobbiests.

Hmm then what does Render over Native UI do? Seems it would render over the native UI, including the nav. But it doesnt do anything at all.

[analog plover]

I think it's for when you have the Unity player embedded inside another app so that it shows the other app below the player. But in general no mobile app can disable the native navigation, Unity or not. That would make it possible to lock the user in the app without any way to quit it which the OS doesn't want you to do

The same way as all other errors. You type the error message to Google search

Okay I will try and come back again

Yes. 2022.3.6f1 is more than a year old.

2022.3.41f1 is the latest

Yup that fix every thing

bro thanks alot

Now I'm dealing with a new problem but I'm very happy any way

hey guys i need help with building an android project, im getting a gradle build fail after enabling custom main gradle template, but when i dont enable it i get an error the play asset delivery is version 2.0.2 which is older than needed 2.1.0 and it tells me to change it in the main gradle template so i have to enable the custom one to change it

what should i do ?

[tired lily]

debug the build error

[vernal trail]

what do you mean by that

[tired lily]

when it says the build failed, look at the error and then fix it

[quasi osprey]

is this on a barebones project or a full project with a lot of moving parts? I would suggest making a simple test project and trying to replicate the error there and then you can fix it somewhere more simple

[vernal trail]

i get some namespace errors that i dont understand, i can send them here if you guys know about them

[quasi osprey]

sure

[vernal trail]

without the custom gradle stuff i get this error

and i get this

and i still dont understand the base module thing

[vernal trail]

i made the changes that this says to do

now im waiting for the build to end in fail so i can send the rest of the errors

i get this pop up

[vernal trail]

the first one i think can be solved by changing some stuff in the maintemplate.gradle

but the others i dont know

[quasi osprey]

and this happens even in an otherwise blank project?

[vernal trail]

Im not sure, i havent checked with a blank project. But the gradle build errors started coming after i changed the unity editor version from 2022 to 2023 so i can use play asset delivery with addressables

[quasi osprey]

yeah when I was hitting gradle problems with my app I just ended up starting over and moving the assets in after making sure all the backend stuff worked

[heavy wraith]

In profiling my game on Android, I'm noticing the SendMouseEvents.DoSendMouseEvents() Invoke call is using up about 8% of the available frame time when Timescale is set to 0 and nothing is taking place. This seems quite high for a platform that isn't using mice. I've confirmed I'm only checking Input.Touch in my handling update loop. Is this to be expected? It is confusing why this method is doing a GetRayIntersectionAll every frame.

[torn hatch]

where can i find this version of ndk. i looked everywhere

[torn hatch]

can someone please share the ndk file?

[frank sun]

Hi there! I’m porting an app to Android for a museum visit thing. It’s supposed to run locally so no need to upload it in Google Play. The application however is a bit of an edge case because there are 8 Go of data in the streaming assets folder, split between addressables for localization, images and films. They all need to be accessed locally. I had to split the binary files in order to be able to build. So far so good.

Upon running the application if I do a normal release build I can open the application on Android without the Streaming Assets loaded as expected. I don’t seem to be able to manage to find the right path to use to actually access the files, neither with Application.streamingAssetsPath, neither with Application.persisitentDataPath; I am using UnityWebRequest to load the files. It works in the editor.

Development build fail to boot on the tablet. This is quite annoying because I’d like to see what the heck is happening in this app. The whole documentation for Android is quite frail and honestly this project also is a shit edge case... Is there something here that I am missing about .obb and files locations in Android? I’ve been struggling with this for 3 days now and have no clue what to do to.

[tired lily]

what path are you using with Application.streamingAssetsPath? #1 problem there is not understanding that it's compressed into a file. For the tablet, what does logcat say?

[frank sun]

I’m having this coming up at the moment of the crash of the dev build

2024/08/11 11:50:17.745 8340 8340 Error AndroidRuntime Process: com.<company>.<nom_app>, PID: 8340

[tired lily]

good, so nothing to do with the obb. What's in your merged android manifest? that will tell you which receiver it's talking about

[frank sun]

i’m not too sure where to find it. there isn’t anything in the Temp

however that’s the manifest from the android plugin
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.unity3d.player" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"> <application> <activity android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity" android:theme="@style/UnityThemeSelector"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.UnityActivity" android:value="true" /> </activity> </application> </manifest>

[tired lily]

easiest thing to do is export to android studio and look at it there, but with some cli tools you could also extract it out of the built dev apk. That's assuming you can't find the receiver in question in a third party asset/plugin you're using already. I find it easier to look at the final result and then work backwards since so many do some postprocessing on it

[frank sun]

right. gosh. i hoped i could avoid android studio so far

but the strange thing is that the normal builds do boot

then in the logcat it complains it’s not finding the requested files with my debug log messages (which is okay at least i have somewhere to start)

i find it super strange it’s only when i try a dev build that this issue arises

[tired lily]

what requested files? Don't you have two separate problems here? I thought it was tablets don't boot, non-tablet boots but streaming assets not found

[frank sun]

ok so i’ll recap, there are indeed several problems at once

• application boots on tablet on release build, but can’t find the streaming assets folder and data doesn’t load. non streamed assets data does load as expected.
• application runs perfectly in the editor
• development build crashes when opening on the tablet and causes the aforementioned error
• trying "build and run" with a local copy of the install doesn’t work, the files stop copying after a while and the data is incomplete (sorry i hadn’t mentioned this point before)

[tired lily]

okay let's start with the first one. What is the path you're using UnityWebRequest with?

[frank sun]

So I tried with both Application.streamingAssetsPaths and Application.persistentDataPath

in the current version in the debug it’s not finding the persistentDataPath even though I manually copied the files in, I think it’s the root of the directory that is messed up
2024/08/11 12:06:05.924 13361 13390 Warn Unity No data found at /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<com.company.app>/files/Backgrounds/fr_val_01_00.png

from /Android/ the path is correct, it should be returning something

[tired lily]

again, streaming assets are actually packed into the apk/bundle itself and it's not a loose file. So hopefully your path starts with jar:file:// right?

[frank sun]

didn’t Application take care of adding jar:file:// by itself?

according to the compilation context?

but I’m using a split binary because a single APK file would be way too big, from my understanding it is not to be packed in the bundle itself?

[tired lily]

looks like streaming assets are split into the apk expansion files, so you might just be targeting the wrong file. But is this going to work? It seems like you're limited to 2x 2GB expansions? If it's not going on the play store, can you get away with a single apk?

[frank sun]

that’s what I am wondering.

Here’s the path generated for the streaming assets and i have no idea how this is supposed to point to the generated .obb
2024/08/11 12:54:45.453 18844 18865 Warn Unity No data found at jar:file:///data/app/~~wwhOrY4UOgmVDPRbUonDBA==/<bundlename>-Y_Hppbqy3qpxbQooJEJw3g==/base.apk!/assets/Backgrounds/fr_val_01_00.png using asynchronous method

this is why i had more faith in a persistent data path where i can just manually copy the assets in on the targeted device, the client only wants 2 or 4 tablets, it’s feasible to manually install them all

[tired lily]

that's probably a better way to go than a split binary, in my opinion. Android stores the expansions in a special obb dir so the path looks wrong to me. You'd have to look at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getObbDir()

[frank sun]

thanks a lot for the link! i’ve been sweeping through the logcat and there is an error when i load the .obb in the correct place with the correct bundle name Error Unity Unknown compression method (file zip crc32 : 73736100) When the .obb file is wrongly named (which Unity does), the app just goes over it and doesn’t load the contents, but if it’s manually corrected it gets stuck at this error. From what I gathered it looks like it has something to do with the permissions in the manifest. I’ll try to rearchitecture the project to fetch the large files in some persistent path and keep the rest in just one apk. It probably will be much easier for the maintenance team to just change a file rather than ruffle through weird folders.

[storm cape]

Hey guys not sure if this is the right place to ask this but didn't find any better fitting category. I need to be able to build games for IOS development. Is it realistic to use a Virtual Machine for this purpose? If anyone does so, whats your experience? I wanted to avoid having to buy a mac just yet.

And if so, would running this VM on an external SSD be TOO slow for building a pretty small game? We talking ~~50MB apk

[sleek eagle]

I would say make it cross platform. Make sure it works on android and when the app is close to final also test it on ios devices.
A VM, next to being low performance, often cannot properly build apps due to hardware checks. The best bet without a mac is to set up a hackintosh PC for builds, but this also is very tricky

I've tried with both. Hackintosh did work in the end, but sadly there is no vision pro emulator support on x86 hardware

currently using unity 2021.3.30f1

Google Ads 9.2.0
AppLovin 6.6.2

[sleek eagle]

Tried updating Unity? 2020.3.48 is the final 2020 lts

[daring fable]

not yet i will try that in a moment thanks for idea

[daring fable]

unfortunately this didn't fix the issue

[daring fable]

So I founded solution and its weird, worth to note that my current project never had installed probuilder and for anyone that have this issue, just install probuilder and open probuilder window and thats fixing everything and pro builder window must be always active bcs if it is closed then this issue come back immediately
I think this works because nothing resets/changes settings of move arrows even restarting editor doesnt effect this, so probably I think any assets/packages that are modifying move arrows should also fix it

[dawn pasture]

Hey, can anyone help me with my game's resolution. I'm trying to create a 2d pixelart mobile game. It looks fine on my game screen , but when i load it to my unity remote it looks super blurry.

Searching it up im getting a bunch of recommendations like pixelperfect camera and setting up my URP. Can anyone give me some tips. Thanks!

[sleek eagle]

Don't use unity remote @dawn pasture

Thats just streams a video

Make an actual build

[dawn pasture]

Okay thanks

[short shuttle]

If i make an App with integrated gallery and camera function to take pictures in App, they can still be saved in the integrated gallery without the user having to make an account for anything, right? 😅

[polar vortex]

Does unity automatically cap FPS to 30 in Android builds?

[polar vortex]

You can also change remote resolution in preferences!

[sleek eagle]

Yes, you can change it by setting the target framerate in code.
I suggest to make this optional as it kills battery

[polar vortex]

Yep ill do that

i recently added FPS counter in game, didnt knew that game was running in 30 FPS

[heavy wraith]

I recommend having fps be adjustable in a settings screen. Having tested a couple dozen Android devices, I've discovered that some will experience very large fps drops if you try to set it to -1, 30 or 60. It varies from device to device. Even across a family of devices some will work better at 30 and others at -1. So I've had to make it selectable in game, in hopes the player can improve their own experience. I'm not sure of the cause, and am surprised it isn't a bigger problem for folks overall.

[polar vortex]

Thanks for saying

[marble jacinth]

how do you turn down the verbosity of logcat? I don't want info messages

there's nothing about it in the logcat settings

[quartz kernel]

Filter it so it only shows logs tagged Unity

In the unity android logcat you can right click on the tag to add it

[marble jacinth]

yeah I'm getting a ton of bytecode commands in the log like MoveNext()

my problem is with addressable. it only happens in a non-dev build on android. when I get the initial dependencies it tries to access them before they're done. on second load it already has them though so it works

that's what I'm debugging, at least I think that's what is happening

I guess I'll go to #📦┃addressables

[tulip comet]

this is just sdk key missing not causing build issues and i havei inserted the key now, as for the fb sdk well issue hasnt been resolved but the urgency has been dismissed

[analog plover]

It's an error so it definitely blocks build

If it still doesn't build then there are other errors

[tulip comet]

yeah just unity fb sdk compatiblity issues with other sdks

    }

}

UnlockScroll is the specific one I'm testing if it matters.

[tired lily]

and are the achievements defined in the play console? are you successfully signed in with pgs? are there any errors in logcat? If you're using the plugin for Unity, normally those constants are defined in an auto-generated file from the resources xml in the play store where you configured the achievements

and this is almost too dumb to ask, but you're testing on a device right?

[broken steppe]

@tired lily Yes to all except possibly successfully signed into pgs. That's just making sure what's in the Start goes through right?

[tired lily]

how do you expect achievements to work if the user isn't signed in?

[broken steppe]

@tired lily It's not logging in to google play. Any common troubleshooting tips? I've got the plugin installed and set up resources.xml and all that

[tired lily]

common mistakes are not signing your apk properly (if debugging locally), not including your local and app signing key fingerprints in the Android credentials, not having your Oauth consent screen published, or if it's in test mode not having added testers

[broken steppe]

@tired lily I think I had to update my key stuff when I made it live initially, is it possible I broke my debugging environment?

[tired lily]

if you're signing with a different key, yep that would do it

[broken steppe]

Like it's literally a live app with achievements that work, but I can't get them to work at all

In unity/apks

[tired lily]

you should have two credentials, typically you would use the upload signing key when building. Check your keystore settings and make sure it's set when you build an apk for testing

[broken steppe]

And when I push it live, change it back?

[tired lily]

your app signing key would be the live build one that's probably working, so another way to confirm is to distribute a bundle on the internal test track

no, you have two credentials all the time

one for bundles that google signs on test tracks + production, one for your local builds which is probably also your upload signing key fingerprint

if you look in logcat, you're probably going to see an error about a fingerprint or certificate mismatch which tells you what's gone wrong

[broken steppe]

@tired lily It's been so long since I deployed it - I've forgotten where to change it in Unity. I know where to find it in Google Play Console/Cloud

[tired lily]

player settings -> publishing settings

[broken steppe]

@tired lily I get this in logcat.

[tired lily]

you're missing some proguard entries, then

enable custom proguard file and insert this text into it https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/blob/master/scripts/proguard.txt

[broken steppe]

Hm, tried that - same error.

I tried deleting the whole plugin and re-installing earlier today.

[tired lily]

which file precisely did you insert that text into and where?

[broken steppe]

Assets/Plugins/Android/proguard-user.txt

@tired lily

[tired lily]

and you enabled custom proguard in Unity right? Are your android dependencies missing then?

[broken steppe]

@tired lily Yes, that file appeared after enabling the custom proguard.

How would I figure out if I'm missing android dependencies?

[tired lily]

did you use EDM4U to resolve them?

[broken steppe]

Just the built in dependency manager

[tired lily]

depending on the settings, there might be a bunch of .aars in Assets/Plugins/Android or one of the gradle files in that folder will list a bunch of implementation*** text

[broken steppe]

@tired lily This is all that is in that folder

[tired lily]

what happens if you re-resolve?

[broken steppe]

Nothing. It just says it resolved. I'm installing EDM4U

[tired lily]

export to android studio and have a look around then, something's missing

[broken steppe]

What exactly do I export? I haven't used Android Studio before

[tired lily]

tick export project and then open it in Android studio

[broken steppe]

@tired lily It just works in android studio

[sage pagoda]

What do you guys use to play test your games? Unity Remote 5 or Build them?

[analog plover]

Remote just streams video to the phone. It's not much different than playing in the editor other than you get to try how the touch controls feel. If you want to test that it will actually work you have to do a build

[brazen birch]

Yeah I don't have a reason for unity remote 5. It's editor then build test at the end.

I feel like unity remote is going to have more problems than answers.

[marble jacinth]

hi! I'm getting an annoying issue going from editor to device (android) where my elements are either unsorting depth-wise or being clipped by the camera.

In this case I have a blocking load screen that should appear in front of everything but it's disappearing. The elements in front of it are showing though. I'm actually not sure if it's a depth/buffer format issue, or how I'm displaying the blocking texture that's disappearing versus the text that IS showing

it only happens on the device so it's difficult to inspect

[brazen birch]

I've had something like that happen, it was being caused by objects or particles too close to the camera and messing up it's occlusion culling. Not sure if that will help you, I've seen it happen on 3 projects on the Quest, and once could never find the culprit.

But you can also try to reduce the min range of culling on the camera and see if that helps. Android also averages the x/y/z a little bit, so something that is fine on the Z plane in editor or PC will clip or block on device.

[marble jacinth]

that's a good point, cheers. is there a way to turn occlusion culling off for just that plane?

the edges definitely sit outside of the camera

[thorny depot]

What's the error here?

One thing that may (or may not help) is hovering the bubble next to the package version in the second screenshot and read what's written

[marble jacinth]

is there a way to build straight to the device but not run? I need to test my initial load but I hate watching it build

I've never figured out how to easily put a build on the device without running it

[tired lily]

small editor script to run the build + invoke adb to install the bundle/apk

[brazen birch]

I just use adb directly. It'll let you manage installs, pull logs and files, uninstall things etc.

[marble jacinth]

Cheers I'll have a look

I love how easy it was to make the editor automatically advance the build number

[shut shale]

i just switch to android build and testing on it give alot of lag

why?

[shut shale]

delete everything and still laggy

[tired lily]

what are you profiling exactly? this looks like what I would expect if you were profiling the editor, but using Unity remote

[shut shale]

yeah im using unity remote

the game is very laggy

[tired lily]

so what's the problem? you can see that it has everything to do with the editor encoding video to stream to your phone. Build to your device if you want to test performance

[shut shale]

ahh i see

is this normal?

[tired lily]

looks okay, except maybe generating a lot of garbage per frame. Look at it in hierarchal view

Does anyone know if RevenueCat’s Paywalls are available for Unity?

[warm isle]

Hello!
I'm trying to implement vibration in my unity android app but for some reason it doesn't seem to work.

using UnityEngine;

public static class Vibrator
{
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
    public static AndroidJavaClass unityPlayer = new("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
    public static AndroidJavaObject currentActivity = unityPlayer.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity");
    public static AndroidJavaObject vibrator = currentActivity.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getSystemService", "vibrator");
#else
    public static AndroidJavaClass unityPlayer;
    public static AndroidJavaObject currentActivity;
    public static AndroidJavaObject vibrator;
#endif

    public static void Vibrate(long milliseconds = 250)
    {
        if (IsAndroid())
        {
            vibrator.Call("vibrate", milliseconds);
        }
        else
        {
            Handheld.Vibrate();
        }
    }

    public static void Cancel()
    {
        if (IsAndroid())
            vibrator.Call("cancel");
    }

    public static bool IsAndroid()
    {
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
        return true;
#else
        return false;
#endif
    }

}

I als tried using only Handheld.Vibrate(); but it doesnt work on my android phone and when i run it in the editor it only outputs in the console iPhoneUtils.Vibrate();

[tired lily]

check your android manifest and see if it's missing the vibrate permission https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#VIBRATE

[warm isle]

it does have the request

[tired lily]

what do you see in logcat when you call this?

the JNI calls in static fields are also suspicious to me

[warm isle]

it shows nothing related to vibration

as if i am not even calling it

but i know it is calling it

i also tried using this code: https://gist.github.com/munkbusiness/9e0a7d41bb9c0eb229fd8f2313941564 because aparently since android 8(api 26) the vibration has changed

i tested it on another phone and it works

but i still dont know why it wouldnt work on my phone

i installed a vibrator app and it does aacctivate the vibration

[tired lily]

start out by using Unity's built-in function to get things working. You said "have the request" before. What request?

you mean it's defined in the android manifest right? It wouldn't be a runtime permission you request

[nova hazel]

Hey everyone,

I’m having a really tough time getting a blank Unity project to build for Android (.APK/.AAB) after adding these packages:

Mobile Notifications
In-App Purchasing
Google Mobile Ads for Unity
The build keeps failing, and I’m just trying to set up a project that can use these features without constantly running into errors. At this point, I’m open to using any ad network, notification service, or in-app purchase setup as long as it works smoothly.

I’ve followed several tutorials and even tried some suggestions from ChatGPT, which helped with some issues, but new ones keep popping up. I’ve been stuck on this for a few days now. If anyone has any advice or alternative solutions, I’d really appreciate it!

I've attached the errors I've been getting, I tried on both 2023.2.20f1 and 2022.3.0LTS

Thanks!

[tired lily]

easiest solution: install ios build support for your version of the editor in Unity Hub (even if you aren't planning on using it)

[nova hazel]

I installed IOS build support, the same errors still come up, but thank you for the suggestion.

[rain leaf]

how long is the vibration?
some android device needs some time before the vibration motor could even rotate, I've seen some device needs at least 200ms or else, the motor fails to rotate

[rain leaf]

that's weird though as I'm sure I've ever need to accept any sdk agreement before 🤔

[strong cliff]

Hello everyone, I am making a 3d vampire survivors like game for mobile with features like in app purchases and ads integration, first I have decided to create the prototype of the game, what should be game architecture so that it's scalable ?

[neon thicket]

How can anyone even begin to answer that question?

[rain leaf]

Unity is more like component-based architecture, so why not just use that?

[strong cliff]

What I am actually asking is that what design pattern to follow for the game manager, which has the responsibility of managing menu functions, loading levels, making game paused or unpaused ? I don't know what to use, should I use singleton, service locator or Scriptable objects ?

[clever terrace]

Hello guys, may i ask if anyone has been using Facebook SDK recently?

[brazen birch]

I think you are getting ahead of yourself. Each of those serves a different purpose and you should bring them in as needed...

A singleton is just a way to static access monobehaviour objects, otherwise it would just be a static class. It's just a lot better than doing a bunch of FindObjectByType calls.

Script able objects are just a database like method that supports monobehaviours. So it's just sometimes marginally better than using json data for your project, because you can actually drag and drop prefabs etc into it. At the risk of course of not being able to edit them nicely later.

I for one would use SOs for level configurations or character templates etc. I'd use a singleton for the data loader class. Maybe on a game managed with a sub audio manager, etc.

It depends on the needs of the game though.

[strong cliff]

Is using game manager as a state machine a good idea ?

[brazen birch]

If it's simple for sure. For complex ones I'd have a level manager

Because that would persist in your intro amd menu scenes etc, and the logic isn't of value there.

[strong cliff]

Thanks for the help 🙂, maybe I am just overthinking for a mobile game.

[nova hazel]

It still would be very appreciated if someone could help fix this, I am willing to pay money for your time. Big thank you to the few who have already helped!

Edit: i have made a job posting, disregard this

[tired lily]

what other errors do you have? or are you still stuck on the sdk licenses?

[clever terrace]

Current FB SDK seems very buggy for me. When I built the game, I cant launch it at all. The open button not clickable. After few debugging,

I found that deleting AndoridManifest seems fixed the issue launching the game. But it bring to another issue where the game cannot use any of FB call. If build the game and not deleting Android Manifest at plugin folder will cause the game no able to launch again. I'm suspect something in android manifest could be the problem.

Anyone have solved this issue?

[thorny depot]

To fix some errors, set android version target to sdk34 (android 14)

UnityEditor.iOS.Extensions.Xcode you should remove this line that's somewhere in your code if you're building an android app (looks like it's in some files of the mobile resolver so not sure if you can, but it should not prevent building your app)

The errors also says that you should accept the licenses for sdk version 34

> Failed to install the following Android SDK packages as some licences have not been accepted.

[sour gate]

Hey, I am using unity 2023.2.8f1, Building for Android SDK 34, my project uses Iron source 7.9.1 SDK, Google Play Games SDK 0.11.01 , com.unity.purchasing@4.11.0 and a few more , every time I upgrade any of them, I get issues with resolver (EDM/External Dependency Manager for Unity) or Gradle builds
for instance, now in resolver it says it successfully done (but resolve and forced resolve), but no AARs or Jars being downloaded to /Assets/Plugins/Android/ folder.
also it throws a few issues like that android SDK 34 not supported in Gradle version < 8.2 (unity 6 < bundled with Gradle 7.3), and when AARS does there (when not manually deleted) they will say duplicate classes errors, etc and wont build.
I am really lost here and tried everything

[sour gate]

This is example of when it works ofc (once update, I got only the window above without actual files)

now when I upgraded all, it did resolve but new fun xD:

Those are the errors in console

If anyone has any idea what's wrong, please assists 🙌

not sure if it related to SDK 34 or the upgrade TBH, I am trying Unity 6.0.16 now..

[sour gate]

scammers such as "richardchris", please dont even bother..

[ancient badger]

I was wondering if there's any way we could simulate running the game on lower end (e.g. mobile) hardware in the editor, so we can get a more realistic view of how the game performs, and can optimize accordingly. Having to constantly build and run on target device takes a lot of time. It doesn't have to be super accurate.

[wooden basin]

Nothing in the editor, I would look at using the android simulators to try and see how it works, but I think there might be problem with the rendering but that will depend on your game if it is a viable option. I would say the "best" way is still to have a few lowend devices to build and analyze with.

[primal solstice]

Can anyone help me to solve this please? I'm using Unity 6

[open laurel]

heyya, I stumble this issue too

you have to upgrade to latest LTS I think (2021.3.43f1, 2022.xx.xx) works for me for now..

Well, after upgradinv to unity 6.0.16f1 it shorta resolved

had to do a few stuff

it wont copy the aars/jars but they somehow exists in end apk..

or atleast the sdks works 🤣

also, needed to update all gradle.properties min sdk to match min of project

in all sdks

they were 6,9,16

and also regenerated all gradle files

idk why it behaves like that, but it works..

[ashen musk]

I am working on a Project for 3 Years now. I sticked to the same Android SDK. I cant update it from Unity hub because its "installed" already and i cant untick the boxes. When i build and install on android, it tells me that it isnt the latest version. Should i upgarde manually or stick to it?

[brazen birch]

You'll likely need to update it. Android kills off older SDKs periodically to be jerks :D, so you'll want to be on a higher target SDK with them most likely.

But it depends what sdk level it's set at. It's also OK to leave that update until you are ready to start publishing. It most likely wouldn't impact much except for the odd plugin

[ashen musk]

Thanks Mate

[north jetty]

How do I fix this:

Your advertising ID declaration in Play Console says that your app uses advertising ID. A manifest file in one of your active artifacts doesn't include the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission.

If you don't include this permission in your manifest file, your advertising identifier will be zeroed out. This may break your advertising and analytics use cases, and cause loss of revenue. Learn more

You can remove these errors by updating your advertising ID declaration

Apps that target Android 13 (API 33) without the AD_ID permission will have their advertising identifier zeroed out. This may impact advertising and analytics use-cases. Learn more

Do two released mobile games with a total of 100,000+ downloads have any impact on finding a game dev job? Whats your opinion, and what has the most impact for recruiters?

[brazen birch]

It would depend on what you did, who it was for, size of the team, involvement, engine, how much tangible work was yours, the new job you are applying for etc. It is better than not though.

[north jetty]

Already did. Turns out it is because the first version of my app on playstore didn't have and even if existing ones do, playstore will always remind u that there is a version that doesn't but u just have to select to ignore the warning and upload it. It will upload sucessfully

And for some reason playstore never provided a way to delete old artifacts so far I am aware of so u will always get that error whenever u are uploading to playstore but since I am already way past that update I just have to ignore it

[tired lily]

normally the warning will tell you the version code of the affected version, and you can see that warning appear if you have it on a test track still

[north jetty]

It's my 1(1.0.0)

[tired lily]

you can release with that warning np, but if you're relying on advertising revenue, having the adid zeroed out will crater your revenue

[north jetty]

I am in 20(1.0.4)

[tired lily]

do you have a release with version code 1 active on any test track?

[north jetty]

I thought ad revenue is separate, I mean isn't that admob thing?

[tired lily]

separate how? Advertisers use advertising id to track players. If it's zeroed out because you have a permission issue, advertisers will pay you less because they can't target your users very well

[north jetty]

oh

But how do I delete that old version then? I thought it's stuck on playstore

[tired lily]

you just need to replace it with a new release. If it's on production, promote an internal test build to release. If it's in a different track (closed etc), promote an updated bundle to that track

[north jetty]

To 1.0.0?

[tired lily]

the bundle code is what matters. The warning is telling you 1 (1.0.0) is the active release for one or more tracks. If you created a closed test track and never replaced it, that would be one common cause

[north jetty]

Ohhh

Yh

I have an old internal testing

[lyric sail]

is there some usual way people do on screen joysticks and buttons? like where exactly do yyou place the buttons and joystick, or do you just do it where it feels best?

[vague merlin]

Hello. If I use Unity Ads in my game on Google Play Store, will google consider me as "monetise on Google Play" ? It seems they make address public if that happens

[iron acorn]

Yes. Any ads would mean that you're monetizing the game.

Hello, I faced a problem while converting my project in Unity 2020 version to a mobile version. I went to Build Settings and clicked on Android and a message appeared saying, “You do not have a license.” Well, here I got confused, although it was not an error message, just writing, and I went and searched, and when I searched, I found that I had to buy the paid version, even though I was only using the personal version because it is free. Is there another solution other than buying it?

[tired lily]

you don't need a license. Check Unity hub and make sure you have a personal license activated (free)

[sage anchor]

Thx Brother

[visual peak]

Asking this here because I'm not sure I believe GPT's answer:

If a dev publishes a small free game on Google Play and App Store, and the developer's revenue comes exclusively from Unity Ads in that game, then does the developer have to pay for Unity Pro license and other royalties if the revenue is higher than $100K?

[toxic fiber]

How do you scale everything in a canvas to fit on mobile devices?

[analog plover]

yes

[visual peak]

So Unity will take a commission from the Ads revenue from Unity Ads itself, and then will also require Pro license purchase from the developer and further royalties?

[analog plover]

Yes, Pro license after $100k and runtime fee after $1 million. They have said that the runtime fee is negotiable if the game uses Unity services.

[visual peak]

Great, thanks

[visual peak]

Do you also happen to know whether the developer has to declare revenue to Unity if the revenue is lower than $100K?

[analog plover]

You only have to declare revenue after $1 million for the runtime fee

[visual peak]

Many thanks

Hi there, I am building an app for Android with Unity 2022.3 and the app doesn’t find any file inside of the Application.persistentDataPath. When I do check in the directory from Windows I can see it but it’s a folder that is inaccessible from the target tablet and the paths of the internal storage (there isn’t any SD card) that the tablet says is in use does not match the path that Unity generates. Is there any way where I can find the correct path to the application data from the tablet? It’s a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

[tired lily]

what are you trying to do? The way your last sentence is phrased makes me think you're expecting to find files in there that you didn't specifically write

[frank sun]

i did write them but i think i got confused at the fact that it’s a tablet that has no external storage

but since application.persistentdatapath still points to a storage/emulated path, it actually would need the permission?

i am trying to read files that are in the com.<companyname> file in data and the logcat tells me that the files do not exist even though i can literally see them in the windows explorer

but i have no way to check internally from the tablet because it’s not rooted

[tired lily]

you don't need permission if it's exactly Application.persistentDataPath, but if you're trying to access something else the OS might not let you

there are some weird edge cases possible, for example you might not be able to list the dir contents, but you can access the file if you know it's there

[frank sun]

i am trying to read the file through a UnityWebRequest.Get

now I managed to get at the root on the tablet the location retrieved by the code is correct, but the request fails. It doesn’t fail on the desktop build

i’m so confused at this thing

[tired lily]

you could try tweaking permissions, but they shouldn't be necessary: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getExternalFilesDir(java.lang.String)

what does your web request look like? might be a protocol issue

[frank sun]

the weird thing is that observing the logcat, when i do manually open a file from the folder in the gallery by example, it also throws a lot of warnings not finding it

`` UnityWebRequest www = UnityWebRequest.Get(path);

        yield return www.SendWebRequest();

        if (www.result == UnityWebRequest.Result.Success)
        {
            Debug.Log($"Data successfully retrieved at {path} using asynchronous method");
            status = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogWarning($"No data found at {path} using asynchronous method");
            status = 2;
        }

        bytes = www.downloadHandler.data;``

and this is the warning it logs when i open the files from the tablet itself

[tired lily]

does you path start with file://? that used to be a requirement

[frank sun]

nope indeed

gotta try this

gosh it works

thank you so much @tired lily ! i’m feeling super silly lol

[surreal crag]

What steps should you be taking these days to make sure your Android game isn't ripped/cloned/modded too easily on Android these days? Does compile using Proguard make any difference and is it worth your time?

(I know it sounds like an edge case, but one of my past games I once mistakenly shipped a broken version where all the IAP was unlocked, and to this date that build accounts for 60% of my DAU in Indonesia, so someone's redistributing it somewhere...)

Also does google play protect etc provide any protection and is it worth looking at?

Finally, does Application.genuine really do anything under the hood?

Sure, nothing prevents a certain level of once you release an APK, it's everyone's forever, and there's only so much it's worth doing if your game isn't a top-charter, but I'd like to avoid making some of my dumber past mistakes...

[tired lily]

Proguard is useful to reduce apk size. Application.genuine does some checking to make sure the package name hasn't been changed but otherwise is mostly useless. If you're only targeting the google play store, using play integrity might help. Otherwise, use a server to verify purchases + enforce version checks, especially if your daily users are costing you money

Is it fine to primarily use Mobile Simulator view instead of Game View? Some questions:

• Normally people use 1080x1920 reference resolution for Canvas Scaler, but I can't use that in Mobile Simulator. Is there a specific device screen that's best to use instead?
• Is there a way to get the "Stats" information in Game View to also be viewable in Mobile Simulator view?

[fallen compass]

• For mobile development you should only be using the device simulator.
• Select whichever device you want, it doesn't matter. I tend to use one that I physically own. It helps to work with 1 device selected, and then swap to others to check everything is ok (that's part of the part of it..)
• The canvas scalar doesn't care about the device simulator resolution. You're adding a REFERENCE resolution, you can use 1080x1920 if you want

[ancient badger]

Do you personally put the reference resolution to the main device you own? I thought that if we don't put in the same reference resolution as the device we're primarily using, then any UI objects we place may end up being positioned or sized incorrectly, is that not true? As the scene view conforms to the current selected device in the device simulator.

I'd also like to ask if you think using "Screen Match Mode" as match width or height, and "Match" as 0.5, is the best settings to use if trying to support both phones and tablets (portrait only). That's the most common settings being recommended when trying to research online, just want to make sure.

[fallen compass]

Reference resolution is set to what the designs were made at, not the device.

Supporting both tablet and phone depends on how much UI there is.. the more UI heavy it becomes, you're better off having 2 lots of UI created. (1 for phone, 1 for tablet)

[ancient badger]

For tablets, many games just don't expand the main UI content fully, and leave some padding around the sides (so it's more like a phone in reality), and only fully expand the background images.

I want to do that approach, but I couldn't find any way to set a max width to the main UI container. For phones, everything can expand fully to the screen space available. Once the screen is in tablet territory (past set max width), we stop expanding and let it stay centered so there's empty space on the sides. Do you know of any solution?

Example phone vs tablet (added red for visibility):

[wary crag]

keeping stuck in android build at this stage. Any solution?

[potent cloak]

I have been waiting for almost an hour one time

CPU?

[wary crag]

5 3600

[potent cloak]

build size?

[wary crag]

is it ending?

[wary crag]

idk actually

but not too much

[potent cloak]

first time building it?

[potent cloak]

Yea

Kinda weird stuck in the Mappin File though

usually is in compilation

[wary crag]

yeah, just upgraded to 2022 and first time building it in

[potent cloak]

That's why

once you build it becomes a lot faster

but first time is pain

[wary crag]

if it's going to be okay, I'll even wait ten years.

[potent cloak]

Depending on the build size it changes. More than 30 minutes for a 150 MB build can't happen though

[wary crag]

can i see build size before building it?

[potent cloak]

Not that I know

Once you built it you can see all the details

[wary crag]

my last apk build this

[potent cloak]

There is an asset store package that makes you see all the allocation for Textures, Models, etc. in the build

[wary crag]

build report tool right?

I am using it and actually its not more than 200-300mb

Probably something is wrong in project but i will wait and see

[potent cloak]

Yea, so I would say around 30 minutes

[potent cloak]

I've never had problems building though. Maybe just once that it was stuck for real.

But in 5 years just once is not that bad

[wary crag]

me too but last couple days im trying to install supersonic sdk

I got many errors and solved them but when it came to the build part

a complete nightmare

[potent cloak]

Nightmares will hunt me tonight

I have been stuck for days (not now, I have actually learnt a bit how to manage that luckely)

Conflicting dependencies found

[wary crag]

I got you very well..

[potent cloak]

Classic game dev dream in action

I remember when I have tried messing with Unity's Terrain System on mobile. Almost worst than a Build Failed error.

[wary crag]

Sometimes its not our problem actually, most of my problems were caused by the editor

[potent cloak]

Nah, I had a problem with firebase and google play. It turns out that both had the same dependency so Ambaraba Cicci Cocco and I deleted one.

But once I would have just deleted Unity

[wary crag]

I gave up on installing the firebase SDK, I couldn't stand it

[potent cloak]

Kinda though if you have Google Play Services too

But it really depends on the unity version

[wary crag]

Yeah, agree

[potent cloak]

Firebase is so good for saving data though

Like reliable, fast, and efficient

[wary crag]

Why didnt you prefer UGS?

[potent cloak]

They did not exist when I created that game

And I dont have to put the credit card into Firebase

*Until I use it too much

[wary crag]

So in your next project, will you use UGS?

[potent cloak]

Nah, I am used to Firebase and until it works I'll use that

[wary crag]

Cause i am looking for solution to manage the player datas and i decided on playfab but everyone recommends ugs

[potent cloak]

I don't care what everyone reccomends (you dont even know if they are paid or not) I just go with what I like the most

[wary crag]

You are absolutely right

[potent cloak]

By the way building a custom server with RESTFUL APIs is not impossible so I plan to do that in the future

At least you pay just the electricity bill and you decide the rules, not a change in terms or conditions of whoever knows.

[wary crag]

but wouldn't it be vulnerable to possible attacks?

when we look at it from the security perspective

[potent cloak]

Why would you attack a server handling leaderboards of a minigame?

And if that was the case obviusly you would have to secure it

[wary crag]

I assumed it would be a bigger game since you decided to create your own server🙃

[potent cloak]

Nah, doesn't need to be big, it's just to avoid surprises and at the end of the day is prolly cheaper.

[wary crag]

I think it will cost you around 500€ with other materials.
