[wary crag]

It sounds good actually

[potent cloak]

Hhahahaha nah man

around 1K

[wary crag]

Wow

[potent cloak]

minimum

Yea, you need RAM, storage, cooling

[wary crag]

But its yours actually, instead of paying rent

In long term you will pay same amount to services too

[potent cloak]

Exactly

[potent cloak]

It will pay off in the long term

[wary crag]

And i think it will be a good machine too, you have more options to use

[potent cloak]

Yes, the CPU is the most difficult to choose though cause you need to make sure it's able to handle low but high traffic as well (you never know).

[wary crag]

Do you think it's one of the best picks you've sent?

[potent cloak]

I like these coolers so much

[wary crag]

For budget too

[potent cloak]

For the power consumption especially

[wary crag]

Yeah its looks great, i think these things more efficient than water cooling

[potent cloak]

Depends on the load

for gaming is prolly better AIO

But for sustained load (Server) I would go with that

[wary crag]

Are you planning to set up a server in the near future?

[potent cloak]

Not near future but I definitely will sooner or later

those CPUs are crazy though

[karmic rivet]

appStateEventNotifier.AppStateChange += OnAuthStateChanged; this code is not working in Unity, It is It'sAppOpen ads code for Admob ads.
error is shown in image

[iron acorn]

What's DefaultLifecycleObserver? Is that the class that subscribes?

[wary crag]

@potent cloak

I think it never ends😖

Is anyone knows what's mapping file?

Maybe i can check that

[potent cloak]

Damn

that's way over the expected time

seems like it is stuck

[wary crag]

Yeah

Do you know whats "mapping file"

[potent cloak]

It should be something real fast to do

I usually spend the most time in compilation of native libraries

[wary crag]

yeah

Thats took long time too but

The mapping file is another level

[potent cloak]

Seems like you are not the only one

[wary crag]

I think its %10000 editor related idk

i will try another one cause really no one find a solution for this

[potent cloak]

you are not using one of these to build right?

[wary crag]

2022.3.20f

2022.3.18f

same

error

i think its about gradle

i will try latest 44f

wish we can see the logs of building process

[potent cloak]

that would help too much, game dev would get boring fast

[wary crag]

my major is game development too, next year ill graduate so i better not get bored quickly lol

[potent cloak]

I have had problems with Gradle once and I am now using "gradle-6.8", you could try to see if that works.

I mean, I did try a few to be honest

[wary crag]

So you are not using recommended gradle for unity version

just directly selecting gradle from external tools page right?

[potent cloak]

Yes

the reccomended one didnt work for me

conflicting dependecies or smth

(i dont remember since it was about a year ago)

[karmic rivet]

Maybe it is an internal class of Google Ads Mobile SDK, I am trying to show App Open Ads here is the code
`private void Awake(){
// Use the AppStateEventNotifier to listen to application open/close events.
// This is used to launch the loaded ad when we open the app.
AppStateEventNotifier.AppStateChanged += OnAppStateChanged;
}

private void OnDestroy()
{
// Always unlisten to events when complete.
AppStateEventNotifier.AppStateChanged -= OnAppStateChanged;
}`

[iron acorn]

If it is, then you probably just missing some dependencies. Did you go over the installation instructions of the sdk?

[wary crag]

@potent cloak

Just changed editor

Finally.

Thanks for your help

Much obliged

[potent cloak]

Lol, I am using 2021.3.33f1 from at least half a year

Really reliable version

Not worth changing it due to the building complications

[upper prawn]

does anyone know of any potential drawbacks of Application.OpenURL() on mobile platforms, I just want to open social media links

[sonic otter]

It could open an instagram link

Or worse--tiktok

[potent cloak]

What type of question is this? What kind of drawbacks do you expect?

[upper prawn]

I don't know, I very rarely touch mobile, just a case of trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist yet, if there aren't any potential drawbacks then I'll happily continue going about my day

[potent cloak]

There is no drawback. Nothing at all. Just make sure that the user wants the web page to pop on and dont make it open automatically else it could impact user experience.

[upper prawn]

good call

[surreal crag]

I think the average dev starting out has no idea how much cloud services will end up costing them… the fud pushing cloud adoption, especially some of the higher margin bits like serverless/lambda compute is amazing.

[ancient badger]

Thanks for that information. The tutorial I watched had given me the incorrect information that it was meant to always be set to the device resolution being used in deice simulator.

If I'm using a GUI asset kit, and they suggest 1920x1080 reference resolution (they showcase it used in landscape), should I still use that for portrait orientation, or is it better to use 1080x1920? I believe they look identical either way, just want to confirm if it matters or not.

[brazen birch]

Especially if you wrap all your cloud services under a single provider (I.e. unity). Fall behind on that one payment or get a mad bill you werent expecting and everything from multiplayer to inapp, to hosting, to user accounts, analytics etc can all stop working at a moments notice...

Personally I prefer self hosted, and never worrying about ccus or mystery cloud fees. But that's just me. Phenomenally cheaper.

[torn hatch]

why is it when i export my game to webgl and upload it on itch.io that it runs much better and smoother on my phone than when i export it as an apk?
i really need help with this

[surreal crag]

Do you have some crazy background downloading package (stand up Ad libraries...) that's active on the phone build but got stripped because it's not compatible with webgl?

[torn hatch]

there was one function that was stripped

but everything seems the same

but i dont think this function have to do anything with the problem cause i tried a fresh start and made some basic stuff, ran it and it has the same terrible performance

very low frame rate

and seems kind of blurry i think

[lucid shuttle]

Is it possible to build for iOS on a Windows machine? I've been researching, and it seems like the build automation service in UGS might be a solution. However, I'm struggling with matching the provisioning profile and .p12 file. I used OpenSSL to generate them but can’t seem to get it right. I don't have access to a Mac or iPhone, so any advice or help would be really appreciated! Alternatively, I’m considering using a virtual machine. Has anyone faced this issue before? Your guidance would be a huge help

[cosmic yew]

No I don't think it is.

I updated my app to statisfy the new target API for android but the warning still won't go away. Does this take some time even though the internal test from google is already over? Using Unity 2022.3.35f1.

[lucid shuttle]

I don't have any issue with android build using build automation only I can't create ios builds

[fallen compass]

The Unity "iOS" build is creating an XCode project, it isn't creating an iOS app (this can't be done on Windows).

[lucid shuttle]

I'm not familiar with how iOS builds work. For Android, it's straightforward—you just create an APK for testing and an AAB for publishing to the Google Play Store. In Unity Build Automation, it generates the APK and emails me a download link.

So, are you saying that if I use Build Automation, it will only create the Xcode project, and there's no workaround to build an iOS app on Windows?

[serene egret]

No you cant build iOS in windows only can be done in mac

[lucid shuttle]

Is it possible using Virtual Machine?

[serene egret]

I dont have experience in virtual machine and i dont think there is macOS software in it

[lucid shuttle]

Could you please clarify my confusion? In Unity Build Automation, as shown in the photo above, does it only build the Xcode project, meaning you still need Xcode to create the app?

[serene egret]

Yes and xcode only can be done in mac

[fallen compass]

of course, your VM would be running MacOS.. and MacOS is required to make the iOS build.

Unity's cloud build will give you an installable app.

(it would be useless otherwise, wouldn't it?)

[serene egret]

is the macos software in virtual machine?

[fallen compass]

I have no idea how the cloud build system works.

[lucid shuttle]

I believe the Cloud Build service builds the app on macOS using Unity's own system, so we don't need macOS ourselves.

[tired lily]

it runs Xcode, you can build for iOS there. The problem is you need to generate certs. Where did you get your provisioning profile?

[lucid shuttle]

I got them using openssl

[fallen compass]

Why aren't you getting them from apples dev dash?

[lucid shuttle]

getting those require macos which I don't have?

[fallen compass]

no, you can get them from the website

[lucid shuttle]

So i used openssl.org

[fallen compass]

.. which has nothing to do with provising profiles or certs 😄

[lucid shuttle]

Yes, that is what I thought it uses unity own macos to run xcode.

[fallen compass]

https://developer.apple.com/account

[tired lily]

it does, and it looks like you're actually getting a build except your certs and provisioning profile are nonsense so you can't sign it, and therefore it won't run on any devices

[lucid shuttle]

Check out this vide "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iLtDb2ZKAE&t=321s"

[lucid shuttle]

@tired lily see this

[fallen compass]

that's 7 years old, and even back then you could do it via the apple dev site ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tired lily]

the video is still using the apple dev site (ancient version), it's just creating a csr

did you then create a provisoning profile in the apple site AdeelDev?

read through this: https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/devops/manual/build-automation/tutorials/building-for-ios

[lucid shuttle]

Yes I did it, the type could be wrong ?

[lucid shuttle]

I have set both provision profile and p12 file

[lucid shuttle]

Both of these files are generated by following this tutorial.

[tired lily]

did you pay the fee to be in the apple dev program? one problem it it's app store, so it'll only be installable via testflight

the provisioning profile definitely isn't

[lucid shuttle]

Yes I did pay the fee

[tired lily]

did you create the provisioning profile after creating your dev cert?

[lucid shuttle]

Yes you need dev cert in order to create the provision profile

[tired lily]

maybe repeat the step where you converted the cer to p12 then, something has gone wrong

[lucid shuttle]

Should i select the ios app development?

[tired lily]

how are you planning on distributing the build?

[lucid shuttle]

currently i just want to test it

on iphone

[tired lily]

via testflight?

[lucid shuttle]

Don't know what that is?

I don't have an iphone myself but the other person have it so what I want is the other person to test the app on its phone I think UDID is required for this

[tired lily]

ios app dev will work assuming your device is registered with your team, ad hoc will also work if you have external testers, and use app store if you're planning on using TestFlight which I would recommend

[lucid shuttle]

The main issue is that why cloud build is not building the app it could be the conflict between provision profile or p12 just like you said to create new one

Or i didn't created them correctly

[tired lily]

that's another reason why I like testflight: every time you want to add a tester, you have to regenerate all the provisioning profiles to include team device UDIDs

if your provisioning profile is for app store, TestFlight will sign them again for you

[lucid shuttle]

So for now should I create new provisioning profile using ad hoc and add it to credentials in unity build and try to build again

Since I already have the certificate

[tired lily]

any chance you mixed up certs? I would regenerate the p12 also, from the certificate you download from apple

[lucid shuttle]

I have two certificates

For Unity cloud build iOS Development cert is ok

So I will use that cert to create the provision profile

also the p12

[tired lily]

make sure your provision is also dev then, a dev cert + app store profile makes no sense

[lucid shuttle]

this could be the issue

[tired lily]

once you get this working personally, look into TestFlight. Unity's BA already has Fastlane installed and it's fairly easy to have builds uploaded to the app store and automatically distributed among testers on your team

I have to head out now. Hopefully you get it working

[lucid shuttle]

Trying the steps you mentioned let's hope it works.

[north musk]

Anyone know why my game crashes on mobile webGL? My build is kinda big could that be a reason? If you need more info tell me.

[wintry epoch]

Hi, does anyone have an idea/experience for integrating a 3D avatar into a mobile app?

[lucid shuttle]

@tired lily I have did the steps but Unity Cloud build is throwing error when building

[tired lily]

same error?

[lucid shuttle]

@tired lily It throws multiple errors not sure which one is the cause of build failed.

[tired lily]

that seems like a problem on their end, at first glance

btw you should create a minimal test project for this, cloud build fees stack up pretty fast and you want a fast turnaround to debug this issue anyway

[lucid shuttle]

Thanks for pointing out that it's now 2 dollars, and I still haven't been able to make a build, haha.

[tired lily]

that's cheaper than I expected, at one point I think I was spending 30-40c'ish per build hour

[lucid shuttle]

I am using there standard machine that is why since premium machine costs more.

btw have you used cloud build for iOS ?

[tired lily]

yes, until we started hitting $500+/mo in fees and it made more sense to set up our own build machine with TeamCity instead

I don't have any more suggestions as to what might be wrong. I have a mac obviously, and setting up the certs was very simple with KeyChain and I never had a problem with it

[lucid shuttle]

Thanks for your help! I'll reach out to Unity support.

[coarse stream]

Do i need to Enable the Accelerometer for mobile use manually or is it always turned on by default?

I am trying to make a step counter but through my logs it shows that all my accelerations are always 0

Both Acceleration and prevAcceleration return as 0.

This function is called in the update function

[tired lily]

on Android or iOS? on iOS, there's a player setting for accelerometer frequency that might be disabled

[coarse stream]

Android

[tired lily]

doesn't look like you need any special permissions for basic access. Did you consider using the built-in android step counter? https://developer.android.com/develop/sensors-and-location/sensors/sensors_motion#sensors-motion-stepdetector Otherwise, afaik it's enabled by default. One post I found said they needed to enable the gyroscope, so that would probably be the next step

[coarse stream]

i see

[torn hatch]

can someone PLEASE help me, ive been stuck for days because whenever i export the game to android apk. it performs terribly meanwhile if i export it on webgl for example and test it on the same phone it runs perfectly on the web browser. my phone runs much heavier stuff so i have no idea whats wrong and i tried following tutorials and stuff but it aint working

[lucid shuttle]

In terms of performance?

[brazen birch]

If its performance I'd start by checking the logs first (maybe its just a platform specific error spamming things and impacting performance). Then move onto profiler etc.

[sage pagoda]

I have a hypothical question for publishing on the Apple App store. If i were to pay £100 a year to publish a game... but there's one thing i'm confused about, what happens if i cancel the yearly subscription? will my game stay up still or get auto removed from app store?

[neon thicket]

https://developer.apple.com/support/renewal/

If your Apple Developer Program membership expires, your apps will no longer be available for download and you won’t be able to submit new apps or updates or access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. However, your apps will still function for users who have already installed or downloaded them, and you will still have access to certain App Store Connect features and free development resources.

[sage pagoda]

thank you and also YIKES!

[torn hatch]

yes or you could also say framerate

[torn hatch]

do you mean console log? im not getting any issues other than adaptive performance and i dont think its relevant (its not even an error)

idk what profiler is

[torn hatch]

is this the profiler ur talking about?

[brazen birch]

This should help:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/profiler-profiling-applications.html

[torn hatch]

the entire if statement here gets neglected when i build this on android. am i not allowed to make an if statement in a void on android? what is causing this exactly, works fine on pc tho

[rain leaf]

that would not make any sense to have if statement not working on android. Instead, you should check what make isArrowItem false.
also, that if(!isArrowItem) could be just written as else...

isarrowitem is set false by an ienumerator after the duration of the item and is enabled by ontriggercollision with the item

for more clarification it basically skips to instantiating the arrow instead of following the rules but like i said that only happens on android and not on pc which is very confusing to me

[torn hatch]

yup thx for pointing out the else if statement

[warm isle]

Hello! Does anyone know what these kind of popups are called?

I want to add them to my game

[rain leaf]

toast?

or maybe native popup?

[vague violet]

I'm importing the android sdk, why is the banner so small?

[tired lily]

I assume that's the editor, so you're not running any android sdk and you're shown a fake placement. And that fake placement seems to have the wrong ui scaling on it so it's not accurate

[vague violet]

Ah I see

Also when I run a video ad the banner still runs on top of it

But it should be fine since its editor mode right?

[tired lily]

it's all faked with some temp UI, yes

make sure you test ads on an actual device because behavior can be different, for example the engine is typically paused in an actual build, but won't be with those fake ads

[vague violet]

Is there a guide for testing? I couldn't find anything so far, is the advertising ID provided by google? or is it something we add by ourselves

[tired lily]

that particular one is yes, you need to whitelist your test devices or advertisers will consider it fraud if they deliver real ads to you in development and then end up paying you

[vague violet]

oh I found my device's advertising ID 😄

im going solely off the docs without a video tutorial, this is all news to me

would building the game with a debug key still allow me to test ads? or must I have my keystore at the ready

[tired lily]

I'm actually not sure on that one, I always use my upload signing key for local builds because it's required for the auth system I use to work

[coarse stream]

Just a quick question, do I need to make special provisions for JSON to work on mobile, or does it work exactly the same for mobile as it does PC?

[tired lily]

in what context? If you're reading/writing to the persistent dir no; if you're reading from a TextAsset then no; if you're reading from StreamingAssets then yes because for example on Android that file gets packed into the bundle itself so you can't just access it on disk

[rain leaf]

for parsing? no.

[prime vine]

hi, have a couple of questions
Is Adaptive Performance um... cross-platform? In, like, it's available for all(most) mobile devices?
Is Adaptive Performance even worth learning/using if i'm aiming for work in gamedev studios? Is it common thing in development?

[sacred creek]

These are some very generic questions. It depends on what you will work on. Some platforms support it, some dont. Some do it their own way like Apple decreasing FPS or throttling fans when surrounding loudness is too low. Its smart to take it into account, so nothing wrong with looking into it, even if gamedev studios might not care about this as much as other software studios might. but that also depends on the game studio of course.

[prime vine]

yeah, kinda understand that it's generic.
it confuses me a bit that there is a specific samsung AP "kit" in unity. that what makes me ask this question.
Like, it's platform specific? Or it's just like this and i can ignore that

[sacred creek]

Its what the hardware manufacturer is willing to share. If they give you API access to thermal and power levels and are willing to work or expose them to Unity or other engines, unity devs can implement it in their platform specific core code. And it would be smart for every manifacturer to do so in the future, when things get smaller but more powerful and its just another approach, that was ignored the last decades of development and should be considered more depending on the apps usage. So why not learn about it if you got some free time 🙂

[prime vine]

alright, big thanks ❤️

[cerulean valley]

Hello, I am trying to publish my first mobile game and am very close the last step really is just building it to an abb file but when it I try to build it, at the end, it always does this.

This has been particularly annoying because as I have stated before this is basically the last thing I need to do and also I've been struggling with it for days

[tired lily]

and the details are?

[cerulean valley]

I believe it is some issue with the sdk. In the actual consle after it states: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Could not determine the dependencies of task ':launcher:bundleReleaseResources'.

Installed Build Tools revision 35.0.0 is corrupted. Remove and install again using the SDK Manager.

• Try:
  Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

I have attempted completley reinstalling android studio and using the sdk files i got from there but it hasn't changed anything

[tired lily]

What version of Unity are you on?

[cerulean valley]

2020.3.26f1

[tired lily]

why so old?

[cerulean valley]

not sure never bothered to update it i guess

is that a problem?

[tired lily]

It can be yes, since the api levels have changed and you need to target 34 at least

[cerulean valley]

Ok im installing the newest version and ill get back to you

[tired lily]

hopefully newest LTS and not Unity 6, I would use 2022.3.x

[cerulean valley]

got it

[tired lily]

and make sure your project is in source control or backed up at least before you upgrade

[cerulean valley]

oh yeah, ive already lost a lot of progress because i didnt have a back up of my project, thank you for reminding me

[cerulean valley]

thank you so much

that seemed to work

dude its always the most simple solutions

[dusty locust]

heyo, I am wondering wether I should keep ARM v7/32 bit support or drop it, I am saving significant space if I remove 32 bit support, tho my personal research found that even my oldest android 5.1 device from 2014 was 64bit, so currently most if not all device should be running 64bit.

[dusty locust]

I also got the same issue, tho for me re-installing the same version fixed it, but I will recommend upgrading to a more recent one as well.

[tired lily]

does your build get rejected for being too large with it included? If not, include it because google will optimize it anyway

[dusty locust]

although my build is not rejected but my publisher is telling me to optimise more

[tired lily]

optimize for space specifically?

[dusty locust]

yeah

[tired lily]

are they looking at the uploaded bundle or judging based on what they download to their devices?

[dusty locust]

the old version was very unoptimised (I was inexperienced) so, when we decided to update it, we set the limit to be less than what the original was, which we achieved as current bundle is only 2mb heavier than the original bundle

[dusty locust]

the literal aab file created by Unity

these created using smaller (faster) file size, and above one is with both 32 + 64 and the below one is only 64 bit

these are exported from unity 6 so they don't support anything below android 6 and maybe 3 gigs of ram

majority is surely textures -> audio files -> single intro mp4

[tired lily]

they're both the same size, except one eliminates all ARM v7/32 devices

https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle

[dusty locust]

yeah the lesser one removes all ARM v7/32 devices

[tired lily]

no, the size is totally irrelevant unless you changed texture/audio stuff like that

the top one supports more devices. It will not be any larger than the bottom one

[dusty locust]

ohh now I get it

[tired lily]

google will split the bundle for you and only relevant cpu architectures will be supported, so the top one and the bottom one are functionally equivalent at the end user side

[dusty locust]

basically the size for me != the size user will download

[tired lily]

correct

[dusty locust]

now I just have to find a way to insert this into the brain of my boss

anyways thanks a lot

[tired lily]

btw I would consider both of those to be quite tiny; you aren't anywhere near the size limit

[dusty locust]

you saved me shit tone of testing

[dusty locust]

its a pretty simple 2d drag and save player from falling things game, so reaching 74mb of bundle sized scared me at first as well, but now that I think of it, I rarely ever downloaded anything above 34mb when I download from google play store

[brazen birch]

I don't care much what the size is if the game looks fun

[fallen compass]

I never even look at the size

[vernal trail]

hey guys, i have an online mobile game that uses netcode relay for the multiplayer, when i build an apk and try to test it the multiplayer works fine, but when i make an app bundle for google play and publish it on internal testing and try it, the multiplayer doesnt work, on the host side both players are shown, but on the client side nothing happens. and i can move freely and whatever i want on the host side, but as i said on the client side nothing happens.
what should i do ?

[tired lily]

add much better logging and check any config that uses the signing cert fingerprint, since internal test builds are re-signed with the app signing cert

[river escarp]

anyone here build for iOS or Android and use Addressables? anyone else get errors relating to the build for ios not being compatable w the editor?

[tired lily]

addressables built for iOS/Android aren't compatible with the editor. I tweak the remote catalog path when loading remote addressables in the editor to point to a version built for the editor platform

[pulsar cave]

Hey, I upgraded to Unity 6 yesterday and only my skyboxes have become pink when i run my game on android, It seems fine in editor and also everything else seems fine. Have you guys stumbled upon this issue?

[broken steppe]

I have an existing mobile game that I have gone in to do updates for, and now I can't get the achievements to work at all (it's a live game with achievements that work). Did I set it to a wrong token or something somehow? Any thoughts?

[burnt fox]

when publishing to the apple app store, is there a way to prevent users with less than 4 GB RAM from downloading the app?

we use up a decent chunk of RAM, so 2GB crashes for sure, and it miiight run on 3GB but we don't have the devices to test for it lol

[tired lily]

broken material, probably due to shader stripping. Try messing with those settings and looking at docs

[tired lily]

Android? Play games services? Did you build with the right keystore, and did PGS sign in successfully?

[broken steppe]

PGS does sign in. How can I tell which keystore is which? Or do I need to create a new one to know for sure?

[tired lily]

Use a keystore that matches the fingerprint you set for the android credentials in PGS config

[broken steppe]

Does it have to match anything specific in google play console as well?

[tired lily]

The keystore? No. I've had the GPGS plugin wipe the resources I set up for it on the Unity side so double-check that too (Play Console/PGS -> Setup -> Config -> Get Resources)

[broken steppe]

Oh maybe I misunderstood what you meant by PGS config. Where is this?

[tired lily]

Play Games Services in Play Console -> Setup and management -> Configuration

are you testing with internal test builds or local builds?

[broken steppe]

Local, either via apk or directly from Unity

[tired lily]

And you're signing it, right?

[broken steppe]

I have two, and I'm not sure which the live uses, or which I am currently using for testing.

[tired lily]

the live one would be the one with a fingerprint that matches the app signing key certificate (Play store -> Setup -> App Signing)

[broken steppe]

Okay, I've identified the live one. Do I need to make sure I'm connected to that one?

[tired lily]

? No, you're verifying your test app has a fingerprint that matches your credentials

Are you signing your app with an actual key from a keystore, or did you leave it blank?

[broken steppe]

An actual keystore

[tired lily]

And does the fingerprint of that keystore match any of the credentials you have set up?

key from keystore*

[broken steppe]

How do I determine the fingerprint of the keystore?

[tired lily]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11331469/how-do-i-find-out-which-keystore-was-used-to-sign-an-app

[broken steppe]

Looks like it matches the other pair of credentials I have (the non-live one)

[tired lily]

okay, and did you check if your PGS resources config in Unity was right?

You said achievements are working on the prod game right?

[broken steppe]

Yes, re-copied it to be sure.

[broken steppe]

Correct.

[tired lily]

Are you getting any errors in logcat?

[broken steppe]

I'll run it locally real quick and see

[broken steppe]

I can unlock the achievement locally np. When I create an APK and send it to my friend to test - nothing.

Am I going about testing that wrong?

[tired lily]

you went from "achievements don't work at all" to this suddenly

Go to Play console -> PGs -> setup -> publishing, open the credentials you signed that apk with and confirm you didn't enable anti-piracy

if you did, you'll have to add your friend as a tester

[broken steppe]

Yes, my fault. I misremembered. I will check

[broken steppe]

Both anti piracy are off. Anything else to check?

[tired lily]

any chance your friend already tested and got the achievements with their PGS account?

nothing else comes to mind

[tired lily]

I guess my last suggestion would be to add your friend as a tester and use an internal test track to distribute builds. They'll be signed with the app signing key and pass any security checks the play store is running

[broken steppe]

Another (potentially) important piece of info I realize I left out. These are all new achievements and are in draft status

[tired lily]

yeah if your friend isn't a tester, that has no chance of working

[broken steppe]

What track do they need to be on? Like how exactly do I need to add them as a tester?

[tired lily]

they need to be a tester for PGS specifically to have access to draft achievements

PGS -> Testers -> testers tab -> Add testers

You might as well include them in your internal test track too, that's Play console -> Testing -> internal testing -> Testers. Then you can give him a link that invites him, and any builds you promote to the internal test track will be available to him as an update

[broken steppe]

That's definitely the issue then and why it worked only for me. Thank you so much for the help and patience. I'll confirm this fixed it later when they send their emails.

[broken steppe]

Will either of these allow the APK to work or will it only work via official testing channels?

[tired lily]

PGS tester should allow APK to work. Adding to internal test mean they can get the game straight from the play store instead of you distributing it signed with what I assume is your upload signing key

[broken steppe]

Would they need to reinstall or anything? I had them try via APK after adding their emails and it still didn't work.

[tired lily]

Do they get the play games sign in popup on launch?

[broken steppe]

Ah just found their test was an achievement they already unlocked. Created a new achievement to test, still waiting to hear back.

[broken steppe]

@tired lily Thank you!

[lucid shuttle]

I guess i have to use the script approach since i can't access xcode project on unity cloud build

[lucid shuttle]

Thank you @tired lily

The issue is fixed by adding the script

[lucid shuttle]

the app crashed upon launch on iOS

What could be the reason?

[sacred creek]

You should build with xcode directly to get debug information of whats going on

[lucid shuttle]

Unfortunately I don't have xcode I am using unity build automation to build the app

what if I build with no scenes included to test?

[tired lily]

it's more likely a third party dependency causing an issue in my experience, but yes without being able to debug it locally you're going to have to try things piecemeal until you find the issue

[lucid shuttle]

like facebook, google plugin?

[tired lily]

yes

[lucid shuttle]

what if I build with empty scene just for testing will it work?

[tired lily]

Let me get my crystal ball and check

Just try it dude, without being able to use a debugger you're in a nightmare scenario. I would guess you have a third party dependency that initializes on app launch and a blank test scene won't help, but if it does you can start adding related scripts to the scene until it fails

[lucid shuttle]

@tired lily You mentioned that the initialization occurs on app launch, which means no scene is loaded at that time. Therefore, it shouldn't matter if the scene is blank. How about I delete the third-party assets and test again? Since I'm using version control, this won’t be an issue. My goal is to see the app open on my iOS device, even if it's a blank scene, just to confirm that the previous steps were done correctly. This will help narrow down the search.

[tired lily]

you can't tell if the scene matters until you've tested it and seen whether something in the scene has, for example, given a third party invalid config data and they handled it in some stupid way that leads to an unhandled exception in the sdk = crash

[sacred creek]

To be honest, developing for iOS without a mac at hand will not give you much fun... maybe try to grab an older one, maybe used macmini or something, becuase just building and hoping wont make you finish your app in years. This is just ONE bug happening, but as you add code, do things that are platform dependent and will only occur on runtime, you are not gonna have a good time.

[lucid shuttle]

I agree that eventually, I will need to purchase a Mac. However, when I started this process, I thought that since Unity provides a service for building iOS apps, I should use it. After many trials and errors, I’ve made it this far and believe it is possible to complete the task this way. As you mentioned, this approach may not be ideal in the long run, so I will consider getting a Mac. For now, I want to ensure that the progress I've made is not wasted, so I will focus on getting my app to run on iOS.

[sacred creek]

Hanging on to what work you put into to get the "workflow" going should not be the base of your decisions on how to continue if it was a lot of work just to get an iOS app going. How would the work also be wasted if you start working in xcode directly now? you still just build and run from unity instead of push to git and let unity do it. Thats all there to change but you get a ton of debug information and fix your error in minutes probably instead of hours waiting for the build, trying new things and so on. But you do you, this is just my guess

[lucid shuttle]

Got it. The remaining steps will stay the same, and Unity will handle the rest. I only need a Mac to obtain debug information. Thank you for your suggestion.

I've installed the tapjoy sdk into a test app, and after following the guide to make a basic tapjoy manager and building the app for android, I get a Autoconnected Player "Autoconnected Player" AndroidJavaException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.tapjoy.Tapjoy error

[tired lily]

you're either missing an android dependency or proguard stripped that class out https://dev.tapjoy.com/en/android-sdk/Proguard

[vague violet]

im not sure what proguard is

ive checked all stripping settings and theyre disabled

[north thunder]

Hey all, is there any way to render grass for low end mobile?

[vernal trail]

hey thanks for the response, sorry for the late reply but i didnt understand what you mean in signing cert fingerprint exactly

[tired lily]

Build Settings/Android -> Publishing Settings -> Custom Proguard File. Paste the contents of that link into it

[tired lily]

nevermind about that, mostly you need better logging. The client is probably throwing an exception somewhere

[vague violet]

hm is there a way I can update the gradle?

these files look different

[tired lily]

you can enable custom base gradle template

[sour gate]

When building my mobile game for IOS on mac, using unity 6000.0.16f1 + XCode 15.0.6 + cocoapods of Levelplay sdk 8.3.0, latest google fcm notifications and chartboost for Levelplay, facebook SDK 16+, I get the following issue in xcode during building:

I feel lost with thje IL2CPP, tried chaning everything I coudl so far

are there any compatibility issues here ?

[tired lily]

Does a clean empty project build?

you might want to look at that script and see what it's doing on line 40

[sour gate]

well, I got it now so sorta build, not sure what happened

login with apple postprocessing script that I removed made it build on xcode

it adds the entitelements automatically - so I will now attempt do it manually

[stoic vessel]

I have a 3d animating app but all I can do on it is either 3d model or animate but bones and rigging is broken so I can only animate pre rigged models and objects

[lucid shuttle]

@tired lily So the scene wasn’t the issue. Even when I included a blank scene in the build, the problem persisted. I will erase everything in the assets except for two scripts and one scene, then test again.

[tired lily]

and delete your dependencies, yes? The odds are decent that a script-less, empty scene project still crashes because one or more of your plugins are initializing and failing

[lucid shuttle]

I have removed everything from the assets folder so there are no plugins and dependencies etc.

One is post-bash script the other is DisableEmbedSwiftLibs

So it is totally empty unless you are talking about unity packages.

I can not build my android project with keystore, im using unity's gradle version and it says its not working, im trying to make .aap file and its unity's lastest LTS version of 2022

when i create .aab file with debug keystore it works and when i try to build with my keystore its stop working, how its possible that Gradle stops working when i use my keystore

I already uploaded my .aab file with same my keystore and now its stop working

@tired lily Can you help! Thanks for listening.

Execution failed for task ':launcher:signReleaseBundle'. also this error

[tired lily]

the first two are warnings. The popup tells you to look in the console. You see how there are 4 red log entries there right? Look through them

[hollow mural]

How do i fix this error i tried installing a different version of the editor and a bunch of other stuff but when ever i make a new project it gives me this error

[tired lily]

how did you install the editor? There are people who get that due to permissions issues

[hollow mural]

how do i fix the issues

[tired lily]

What did you find when you googled it? I don't know dude, I looked at a few stackoverflow results since I've never encountered that error

[lucid shuttle]

@tired lily After removing everything from the assets, the app successfully opened without crashing. This means the previous steps were correct, and a third-party dependency is causing the crash.

[tired lily]

well that's unfortunate; you've got your work cut out for you now

[coarse elm]

hello, any one know about Advertisement legacy package in unity? Im working with it and I followed the steps on the instalation guide but in the editor all the interstitial, banner, rewardedAdbutton works perfectly well but when build and export to my android device there is not banner nor ads nothing even on test mode, I notice something kinda sus in the package and in the pluggins section wich is this:

this package came only with iOS plugins is this the main reason why ads are not loading on my phone? because on LogCat on androidStudio I see the debu.Log() wich says not loaded Ad

[tired lily]

you're going to need to provide more information than that. Did you set up ad units? Did you configure the android dependencies correctly? Are there any errors in logcat?

[vernal trail]

im not sure what more logging i could implement

{
    Debug.Log("Joining Relay with " + joinCode);
    JoinAllocation joinAllocation = await RelayService.Instance.JoinAllocationAsync(joinCode);

    RelayServerData relayServerData = new RelayServerData(joinAllocation, "dtls");

    NetworkManager.Singleton.GetComponent<UnityTransport>().SetRelayServerData(relayServerData);

    NetworkManager.Singleton.StartClient();

}
catch (RelayServiceException e)
{
    Debug.Log(e);
}```
this is the code, and i did a bit of testing on a new small scene and figured out that the multiplayer works when i dont use addressables and load the scene, like if the game starts at the main scene of the game the multiplayer worked, but if i put a starting scene to load the main scene just like i do with my main game it doesnt work, i use addressables with play asset delivery as install time for the size limit in google play console.

so the problem should be that while loading the main scene something breaks or something like that. but im not totally sure because i cant check because my main games main scene is 330 mb and google play accepts 200mb

but i have no idea on how to fix it

and again sorry for the late replay 😅

[surreal crescent]

hey, im trying to make a nonogram game for mobile, everything seems to be working correctly on unity's simulator phones, but once i build and run the game on my personal phone, the main grid object isn't rendering the grid, why that could be? i was getting some errors about Adaptive Performance, but it told me to install Samsung (Android) providers and so i did, but still no grid on my phone

[coarse elm]

ad units on the dasboard yea

like so right?

[coarse elm]

I dont see android dependecies on the proyect

you mean that?

[coarse elm]

any fix for this bug?

[vernal trail]

honestly im not sure if i got this error before but i checked now and when the client tries to join the host i get this error message on the host side:
Exception: Scene 'Assets/Scenes/testing multiplayer.unity' couldn't be loaded because it has not been added to the build settings scenes in build list.

and when i double click on the error it takes me to the NetworkMessageManager script

[tired lily]

if you haven't installed one of those mobile console packages, that would be a good next step. Personally I use lunar console (free version) and configure it to appear on any error. It sounds like you are loading the 'testing multiplayer' scene incorrectly if it's supposed to be an addressable

[tired lily]

I wouldn't bother with the performance thing at all. More info needed on what exactly the 'main grid object' is

[tired lily]

no, I mean did you confirm the project has all the android dependencies it needs? Looks like it needs com.unity3d.ads:unity-ads:4.7.0. Normally there is some kind of resolution step. Are you switching to their new advertising? Your last screenshot seems to be using ironsource instead

[tired lily]

also you should enable test mode for whichever devices you're trying to test with. You could have a valid config but not receive any ads if the advertiser doesn't serve to non-live apps or considers your ad value to be low

Hey guys
Im doing the Mobile AR tutorial
I replaced the component with a newer one called "XR Origin" and I put the AR default face prefab to the face prefab.
I updated the prefab so the face mesh won't be rendered but after "build and run" it still renderes although u can see in the pic it's only the hat and the mustache (With particles as well)

Did someone experience similar trouble?

[prime socket]

Solved:
It was because this was enabled

[sick lance]

Hi guys! I have a question. If I publish a game on Google Play, and it does not have any SDK, advertising, analytics or other services. Can I specify in the Data Security section that the application does not collect any user data?

[austere nebula]

Anyone have experience with Branch for deep linking and mobile ad attribution?

[brazen birch]

Yes, if you aren't collecting any yourself, and none of the plugins are, and depending on your Unity version have also disabled their analytics

[cursive roost]

onApplicationQuit doesn't work on android mobiles, and i'm really desperate for a solution because i'm building a multiplayer game and when someone kills the app mid game they should become a looser??? is there any solution ????

i can't use on app pause and focus because i'm already using that to detect the player pased the game and there is a chance they are coming back to recconnect them, but when they kill the app there is no return

[coarse stream]

So you wish to check if a player turned their app off in a multiplayer game, and then you want to assign them as a loser?

[cursive roost]

yes, not just slide off but someone killing the app.

[cursive roost]

we have this in unity-ios which is OnApplicationQuit but it does not work for android

[coarse stream]

I am not entirely sure.

OnApplicationQuit should work but.... yeah...

I'll bring the question to a professor at my university

[cursive roost]

i would really appreciate that, thank you alot.

In the UI if they are in the same hierarchy level you could make a texture atlas after they are downloaded for them to batch together when rendering if that's what you want.
You phrased it differently here than in DM

they arent in the same heirarchical level

any way to batch them in that case?

[proven solstice]

Hi! My app got rejected on Apple Store. I am honestly not sure why. I used legal unity assets anyone know what can it be?
Specific rejection: “Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam

We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences.

Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps.”

[analog plover]

It means that your game is too similar to other games. For example if you just copy-pasted the game from a tutorial with no or minimal changes of your own.

[patent glen]

Does it apply only to the assets, or the overall design? If it's about the design I think google has different politics 😂

Reminds me of uefn

[proven solstice]

Right. Which I think is not true so what in their test flagged as such so I can remove it. Does anyone know? I am pretty sure they have not played it. So do they run some script I assume

[patent glen]

Bin/metadata check is automated for sure

[proven solstice]

Yeah. I wonder what is flagging so I can remove it

[patent glen]

Ig it's somesuperspecialmagicmysteryflag that is not supposed to be known by devs to ensure they don't find workaround

btw any1 using Graphics.RenderMeshPrimitives on mobile? I have really bad perf on drawing 1000 unlit hexagons. I wonder if I should try switching to BRG or it's not worth the time and I should just redesign my app to not use instancing at all. That's a shame, bc compute shader for matrices works like a charm and it's probably just the vertex limit or smth

[tired lily]

no secret flag, just some reviewer who glanced at your app and decided it wasn't unique enough. A lot of devs try to cash out by buying those premade games and then reskinning

[fallen compass]

Not a single person here can tell you, there isn't enough information in the message from Apple for you to know, so how can anyone here know? You haven't even shown your game.

Apple have the facility for you to reply to the rejection msgs - try sending a message asking for clarification.

[patent glen]

nvm, apparently its some crazy default urp template settings, because results are the same when drawing a single object x.x

[radiant nymph]

anyone, im getting Gradle build failed error continuously

whenever i find some fixes in Unity discussions or stackoverflow i try them it fixes but i get other errors instead, can anyone help?

when someone is available i can send logs

[proven solstice]

Yeah I sent them a message. I was just wondering if using some assets like synti is the reason cause they are too common. It’s frustrating! Didn’t expect that at all.

[languid garnet]

You are using LevelPlay?

[radiant nymph]

never heard of it tbh

[languid garnet]

You have ads in your game?

[radiant nymph]

it doesnt often happen until i use firebase i dont think it causing issues

[radiant nymph]

not yet

[languid garnet]

A, firebase, i wouldn’t know. Try to read in depth the logs since they usually include what is causing the failure

Worst case figure out which plugin/package causes it and delete it and implement it again. Its sometimes very stupid stuff, for me once i didn’t have one callback for a vibrations script and couldn’t figure it out for days

[radiant nymph]

i read them while i try fixing the stuff shown them doesnt match literally it was first saying that i needed gradle 7.4.0 while i was using 7.0.1 i installed one like 8.0.1 i dont really remember and now it gives 2 different errors

[radiant nymph]

it just gives gradle errors idrk

[languid garnet]

Try switching to latest version of unity

[languid garnet]

That fixed this error for me

You shouldn’t install your own gradle, unity does it for you

[radiant nymph]

im using 2021.3.33f1 because im not comfortable with new ones

like mostly for the pricing system but im not

[languid garnet]

Yeah, its an issue since its not gonna support newer gradle versions and you need them to upload to google play

[radiant nymph]

when i didnt it says that i need to upgrade to 7.4.0 when i installed a newer one it gives 2 different errors

[languid garnet]

Yeah, just upgrade to the latest LTS

[radiant nymph]

im just trying to test my game in apk i wasnt even building in bundle yet

[radiant nymph]

in other projects with firebase i could build it idk why not now

[languid garnet]

I understand. If you really want to stay with older versions then you have to lower the target android version to 33? I think

[radiant nymph]

i just have like 3 scenes 1 to connect 2 to login and 3rd to test sign out

[languid garnet]

Or 32

Not the latest one anyways

[radiant nymph]

oh uh

i hope it helps ill try, thanks

[languid garnet]

For me the 7.4.0 error appeared once i switched target to 34

[radiant nymph]

i was also planning on recreating the project tho so uh ye

[radiant nymph]

does the target version affects anything in the build just asking like if newer or older devices cant play?

[languid garnet]

Newest android version can’t play

For that you need to download the new unity version, but this should work for testing

[radiant nymph]

like newest

so whenever a new android version comes out it cant play thats what you mean?

or they can play once a newer version comes out?

[languid garnet]

No, the current main android version isn’t supported so you can’t upload it to google play

[radiant nymph]

does that mean that ill never be able to upload my game to the google play store unless i upgrade my unity version?

[languid garnet]

Yes, i think

[radiant nymph]

ah PAIN

[languid garnet]

Maybe someone else knows a way

But it makes sense, when your unity version was made this current android didn’t exist

[radiant nymph]

are you U18?

[languid garnet]

Like age?

[radiant nymph]

yeah like under 18?

[languid garnet]

19

[radiant nymph]

oh good

im 16 so i cant use google play console yet 2 more years to go

this is my first big project i start to make and im trying to get an advice at the beginning before i regret it

[languid garnet]

Advice: don’t do mobile😂

Anyone thats done mobile will tell you that

[radiant nymph]

im trying to make it crossplay lmfao

ah PAIN again

i need to go sleep cuz i have headache now lol

i mean im kidding but ill do the impossible

[fallen compass]

No, using synty assets won't make a difference. It'll be something like the game you've made is too similar to <these thounds of games>. EG: both stores stopped accepting Flappy Bird games for a while after the original dev removed it from the stores.

Apple will also reject games that aren't "big" enough, if it looks more like a demo, then there's not enough content

[radiant nymph]

all mobile games are literally recreated from pc like almost all of them (first i thought mobile games just switch to android project and add controls for them thats all)

turns out more complexity frfr

[languid garnet]

Converting a pc game to mobile almost never works. You need a completely different gameplay loop for mobile games for them to have even a slight chance of breaking even, but 99% of the time you’re gonna lose all your money if you are not working with a major publisher

[radiant nymph]

im hopefully not alone

im like with a friend that like helps me with the project

[rain leaf]

this is not true. While some mobile game uses the same theme/franchise with some pc games (like tomb raider, cod), they (the mobile version) are most likely developed as mobile game, not as PC to mobile port (some of them are even developed by different developer).

There might be several exceptions, like pubg, genshin or hsr, but most likely they are developed with cross platform capability in mind (not as pc game first, mobile later)

Hello how to update gradle to latest version that support Higher Target API level for Android ? My Unity Version 2022.3.32f current gradle version : 7.1.2 support only API 32

[tired lily]

it probably is warning you that it was only tested up to 32. Updating gradle is a giant pita that you should avoid if you can

are you targeting 34?

[jovial canopy]

Actually I want to target highest which is 35

But I have selected automatically highest installs

hi, I have a question > Even if I open a new project, the ms values are very high, does anyone know how to fix it?

[analog plover]

How do you reckon 2.86 ms is high

[sullen cliff]

cpu 504 ms

[analog plover]

99% of that is the editor, not the game

[sullen cliff]

when i start the game cpu main is getting 10ms, is that related to the editor

[analog plover]

You can ignore the EditorLoop part of the profile. It's just the editor overhead. 10ms while playing in the editor sounds normal.

I need help with saving a captured image using Native Gallery on iOS. While the image gets saved, the returned path is empty, preventing me from loading the image again.

I'm trying to build an apk for Android in Unity, and the scripting backend is Mono. however it doesn't support ARM64, so when I try running the apk in my android phone, it shows something like "version incompatible and please contact developer". However, it only shows up for the very first time, and the app is running fine atm (im not sure if its cuz the app doesn't have complicated things to work on yet). does that mean I have to change it to IL2CPP or is it not a big issue?

[tired lily]

fine for testing. You'll need to use il2cpp when uploading to stores though, since most will reject a bundle that doesn't support ARM64

[young hill]

hey guys, i'm creating a mobile app for a competition, and the topic this year is to create a game version of a learning app (such as prodigy for those who have played it in their elementary years). me and my group are thinking of doing something 3d, but we want the UI to look good and I've heard that it's hard to create complex ui's, which will probably be needed in my game since its built for learning and teaching. I've been reading into Android Studio, and it looks really good so far, but I'm not really sure exactly how the specifics work, like if I can have the 3d game with unity and the entire UI with android studio.

so my main question is, could I have my unity 3d game in the background, and have my android studio UI on top of it like an overlay? does android studio even work like that?

or is it better to just use unity by itself and learn how to make a proper 3d ui using the canvas?

thanks in advance 🙏

[ancient badger]

Is there any way I can get this same statistics from Game View tab to be visible in Device Simulator tab instead?

[tired lily]

if you have a lot of Android experience, this is possible. It depends on what you mean by complex and whether you mean a 3d ui or a 3d game with a 2d ui the way an Android ui would work

I would use Unity UI if you're going with Unity though, mixing Android ui with unity will make your project considerably more complex

[tired lily]

why not just use the game view? device simulator is just a reskinned Game window + safe area modifications

[young hill]

a 3d game with a 2d ui, sort of like clash of clans where you see the entire 3d world from above and the ui is 2d on the screen

[young hill]

but sure then, i'll give the unity ui a look and see if and how i can fit it to my needs

i just dont want to waste too much time learning something if i wont need it, since i dont know Kotlin nor C#

[tired lily]

how long do you have to work on this? If you're starting at zero, you should aim for the simplest mvp you can

[young hill]

well im pretty sure the competition starts in march, so i have a good deal of time

but i dont want to compromise the look and ux of the entire app

[tired lily]

march until when? making good UI can be challenging and unless you're starting your learning journey now, I wouldn't expect to produce anything without at least a couple months' effort

[young hill]

oh my bad, from now until january

march is the last competition

[young hill]

i'm in a group with 3 people, but i'm the only one doing the coding, so would you think using unity would be the way to go?

[tired lily]

if this is a group project, you got screwed over and will do 100x the work

if you're going to use a game engine, yes Unity would be the tool of choice unless you have experience with UE already

alright thanks, sounds good considering i already took an introductory course to unity last year in school

i appreciate the help 🙏

one question however tho, since I am not using android studio will I be able to run the apps on iOS?

i dont have a macOS though, so will I have to ask one of my friends with macOS to build it, or will the "Unity Build Automation" do it for me? idk i just read the unity documentation page. if the cloud build takes money, that's ok, just tell me how much as long as we can run it on iOS since we will need two devices to demo the app for the competition and we scoured our houses and only found one old android phone

[tired lily]

I wouldn't build it for iOS unless you have a mac. Borrow or buy a mediocre android if you must

[young hill]

tysm for the help 🙏 i'll try fixing up an old android i found at home and one of my group partners owns a macOS so we can use that to build it on iOS before we go to present our project

I'm trying to re-setup my whole project from scratch to obtain a clean Android dependencies resolution setup. Ideally I want EDM4U able to resolve the dependencies without me becoming mad each time for duplicate libs and such issues. I started with a clean Android project with Unity 2023.2.12f1, I added the latest EDM4U 1.2.183 (using openupm scoped registry in the Unity package manager), then I followed EDM4U docs suggestion to enable both “Custom Main Gradle Template” (see here and “Custom Main Gradle Template” (see here). Then I added the latest FirebaseAuth 12.2.1 from the .unitypackage. I can build it, but when a script tries to use the FirebaseAuth APIs, it throws DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'FirebaseCppApp-12_2_1'.

[solid lake]

in editor it works flawlessly: I'm able to do an unanimous authentication and receive the auth token. There's just some issue including the dll in Android. The Assets/Firebase/Plugins doens't include any Android folder (see screenshot).

[solid lake]

here are my Android build settings and the EDM4U Android Resolver settings

[tired lily]

did you actually resolve dependencies?GeneratedLocalRepo is missing. Firebase puts its stuff in Assets/Plugins/Android, you should have at least a FirebaseApp.androidlib there

[solid lake]

probably I didn't. I reopend the project and I was prompted with this poup. I previously ignored it because I was expecting EDM4U to already do its magic thanks to "Enable auto-Resolution" being ticked. And I didn;t notice the auto resolution on build was disabled. Now that I clicked "Enable" on this popup, it imported the missing libs and it worked!

[solid lake]

thank you so much for the help

[solid lake]

There are a couple of things I'm not understanding:

1. If "Prompt before auto-resolution" is checked, I ignore (close) the "Enable Android Auto-resolution" popup and then press External Dependencies Manager / Auto Resolver / Resolve (or Force Resolve), nothing happed. It's like if importing FirebaseAuth broke the Android Resolver. then I somehow (I think by doing: revert everything, import again, resolve from the popup, revert the resolution) fixed it
2. When auto-resolving FirebaseAuth dependencies, the build settings where changed so now "Custom Gradle Settings Template" is enabled. Why? Should I keep it enabled?

[tired lily]

for 2, it's setting the path to that local repo. For 1, what's happening exactly? You should see a success/fail message popup

[solid lake]

I wasn't seeing any message, I had to do many back and forth to finally see it again and now it's working fine. Strange

Hi guys, I'm getting a NullReferenceException on FB.API() call if I logged into Facebook account and relaunch the game. This happens in iOS build only. I added some logs and found out the Facebook access token is null when I relaunch. I tried in v14, v15, v16 and v17 FB Unity SDKs but not able to solve it. Did anyone face this issue before?

This GitHub issue refers to this problem:
https://github.com/facebook/facebook-sdk-for-unity/issues/534

But nobody got any solution.

[solid lake]

sorry if I bother you
I was finally able to make a build were FirebaseAuth is working: I get the anonymous login working, I get the user id and the auth token.
But when using the Firebase APIs, I get this error and warnings in the logcat:

[tired lily]

seems like you have multiple versions of Firebase in the project somehow, based on the error. Anything strange in the various gradle files?

does it happen in a project containing only Firebase?

[solid lake]

yes, it's in a EUDM4 1.2.183 + FirebaseAuth 12.2.1 only Unity 2023.2.12f1 project, no other lib.
I attached my gradle files

and Android build settings

[tired lily]

could be something cached wrongly with your build. Try a clean build, and try wiping library and rebuilding after that. Did you install the same version unitypackages, and from where? Occasionally google messes something up so trying out different versions would also be useful

[solid lake]

the clean build did the trick, thank you so much for the hint!

any solution ??

[tired lily]

edit packagingOptions as the error mentions. Depending on Unity version (installed version of gradle), you can use exclude or pickFirst. Would look something like this

   packagingOptions {
       exclude('META-INF/kotlinx_coroutines_core.version')
    }```

enable custom launcher and/or base template gradle files in Unity player publishing settings for Android if you haven't already

[jovial canopy]

I did that already after doing that it's removes my admob adapter and it's throwing another gradle build failed error

Since I implemented unity's Ironsource levelplay package

[tired lily]

So? Fix the next error. You're assuming fixing this one causes the other one when you might just have two different build errors and it's getting farther along now

1. Unity 2021.3.0f1 is quite old, you might need to update your unity version if you want to upload to playstore
2. Check the other error messages, one of those error messages usually says why the problem occured.
3. Once you find the actual error message, you can try googling it first to find the answer
4. Try building apk with empty project, like, before adding any external plugins. This to make sure that your unity and any needed sdks are properly set up

Anyone in here knows, if we can alter the xported xcode project from Unity after build? Trying to add some custom code right now and not a fan of doing it manually

[tired lily]

Alter it how? Sure you can. I use a bunch of post build scripts to avoid having to do anything manually

[sacred creek]

So I would love to add the GroupActivity Capability to it and also add some .task() code to the immersive space inside the visionossetting file

Most of my code parts I have sourced out to a injected swift scene, which is working. But I cant seem to be able to trigger anything from inside the swift file

Basically after

 
var mainScenePart0: some Scene {
ImmersiveSpace(id: "Unbounded",...

I would love to add some custom content

I mean, best case would be to call the .task() I want to call from within the injected scene, but I am no swift dev, so I am just getting the gist of it

[tired lily]

most changes can be made using https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/iOS.Xcode.PBXProject.html. I don't see your GroupActivity capability but you should be able to edit it in by figuring out where it is in the build config files and just modifying it there. I'm not sure what you mean with the injected swift stuff. Is that a swift file you wrote or something that is generated?

[sacred creek]

You can use folders called SwiftAppSupport to create injected swift files. So those will get attached to the mains cene of the unity build. Anything you place in there will be included in the build and anything with injectetedscene at the end will be added to the main scene

[tired lily]

oh it's a visionos specific thing, that makes sense

[sacred creek]

Ah ye, sorry, been in the dev for months, forgot there is anything else 😄

[tired lily]

well if you want to edit some specific file after the Xcode project is actually built, the easiest way is with [PostProcessBuild] on an editor script and just make whatever text changes you want to make

[sacred creek]

Alrighty, so I just have to do some intense manual work to get the things tied together and be happy to hit build and run afterwards 🙂

[PostProcessBuild]
    public static void OnPostprocessBuild(BuildTarget target, string pathToBuiltProject)
    {
        if (target != BuildTarget.iOS && target != BuildTarget.VisionOS)
            return;

        string projectPath = PBXProject.GetPBXProjectPath(pathToBuiltProject);
        PBXProject project = new PBXProject();
        project.ReadFromFile(projectPath);

        string targetGuid = project.GetUnityMainTargetGuid();
        project.AddCapability(targetGuid, PBXCapabilityType.GroupActivities);

        File.WriteAllText(projectPath, project.WriteToString());
    }

Thanks a lot for clarification 🙂

Do you know, how I could access the build settings supported platforms inside the target unity project? Just wondering if I just need to alter a file or if there is already something, I cant find in the docs right now

This one should be forced to visionos, even if I build for simulator (to be able to add capabilities at all)

Ah, found it. Its just a simple build property. Getting the hang of it I guess, thanks 🙂

[worthy pasture]

Hi Everyone.
I was hoping someone could help me with this issue
When I build my project to iOS. I get this “Error Installing CocoaPods” and it requires an update to “Ruby”.
This is where I hit the wall.
Any suggestions ?

[tired lily]

what happened when you tried to use the suggested command?

[worthy pasture]

The error message continues to appear in Unity. But it seems like it’s installed

[tired lily]

what if you run pod install in the destination dir?

does it work?

[worthy pasture]

says successful installation.

But the error message still pops up in Unity

How could I run it in a different directory ?

[tired lily]

do you have cocoapods installed?

that's what Unity is trying to do atm so make that work. For reference, I installed ruby with rvm (3.2.2) and use cocoapods 1.15.2

[tired lily]

now run which pod

[worthy pasture]

seems like it’s installed correctly.

But the error message still shows up

How do I install it your way ?

[tired lily]

did you install it with ruby? run which pod

[worthy pasture]

Yes I did.

How to I run “which pod”?

[tired lily]

type which pod into the terminal you have open right now

you need to make sure Unity is trying to run the right thing

[worthy pasture]

Like this

[tired lily]

which version of ruby do you have active?

[worthy pasture]

How can I check that ?

[tired lily]

looks like the command is rbenv version

[worthy pasture]

3.1.0

[tired lily]

Unity's trying to use 2.6.0 so something went wrong

iirc 2.6.0 is the system installed ruby version

what happens if you run rbenv global 3.1.0 and then restart Unity and try again?

[worthy pasture]

I’ll try it now

Same error message

[tired lily]

maybe rbenv isn't installed correctly, then

[worthy pasture]

How can I correct this?

[tired lily]

reinstall rbenv or another ruby version manager. I use rvm personally

[worthy pasture]

How do I install rvm ?

This is completely outside of my field of knowledge

I have no clue. I didn’t have this problem a few weeks ago. I was able to build test app and upload them to my iPhone.

[tired lily]

you must have followed some directions somewhere to have rbenv installed

did you update something? Did you modify your .zshrc/bash profile at some point? Maybe you edited the path value in there by hand

here is rvm install info: https://rvm.io/rvm/install use rvm stable with ruby

[worthy pasture]

no. I wouldn’t do anything like that! lol

this is confusing AF

I honestly don’t know what to do next.

[tired lily]

uninstall rbenv, install rbenv or rvm your choice, install ruby 3.x using one of those, make that version of ruby globally active, install cocoapods with gem install, reboot system just in case, try again

[worthy pasture]

How do I uninstall “rbenv” ?

[tired lily]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31173968/how-do-you-uninstall-rbenv-on-macos

[worthy pasture]

Apparently I have CocoaPods version 1.15.2. Which is the latest.

[tired lily]

yes, except it's installed with ruby 3.1.1 and not 2.6.0 which is the version Unity is picking up, then trying to install it because it's missing and it fails

2.6.0 is the system version of ruby so something is wrong with your shell bash, so your installation of rbenv is probably busted since it's not updating PATH correctly

[worthy pasture]

now in my terminal the error message is “Error running ‘__rvm_make -j12’

[tired lily]

did you try any of the stackoverflow solutions?

hopefully there is more to that message

Anyone have experience bridging a Monobehavior in unity with an XCode swift file? I can't find any resources within 2 years. Seems a lot has changed.

2. Built my Unity project so the Xcode project is created.
3. In the Xcode project, created the swift file with the logic I want to run (getting weather from Apple's WeatherKit)
4. The main thing I'm not sorting out is the proper headers or whatever needed to link the @objc public func to be accessible from Unity.

I'm not sure how to do it or if it is possible,

Every road I have followed has been a bust.

[jovial canopy]

How to do that ? I mean the steps please

now when i checked, apparently its either one of shaders at idx 1-3 🤔

but may be completely different problem as well

tbh i dont even understand why it helped in my case, but... wel it did, even though my text uses "TextMeshPro/Mobile/Distance Field" xd

you can check in the inspector of TMP GameObject if your font material uses Mobile version of shader

who know a good mobile publisher who can take the game and take care about promotion and monetization and publish it from his company name?

[jovial canopy]

I know some good publisher and I have work with them

[marble jacinth]

what version of Unity should I be using? I've just had to switch to Android APK 35, and now the gradle plugin looks like it's out of date. when I build I get an error about not being able to access 35's android.jar (it exists and is accessible, path is correct, but it fails)

I'm on 2022.3.0f1 at the moment

[jovial canopy]

At the moment API Level 35 is not supported even if it's shows to select, you can try 34

[marble jacinth]

I had google play reject API 34

the delay between being forced to use a new API and the framework being updated is why I stopped using unreal

are we still able to upload stuff built with 34, or are we waiting?

[jovial canopy]

What is the reason for rejection ?

[marble jacinth]

I'll re-upload but I recall it was just that APK 34 was no longer being accepted. seemed odd.

or the target version had to be 35

and weirdly I DID an APK 35 build and uploaded it, I'm sure of it. I'll check now

[jovial canopy]

Make sure In your android/app/build.gradle

targetSdkVersion 34

compileSdkVersion 34

[marble jacinth]

yeah I'm wrong the target SDK was 34

maybe I was trying to do 33 that day and had to go to 34

oh, right. when I tell unity to target 34 I get this shit:

and I don't have an android folder in my project

found it, it was in Assets/Plugins/Android/launcherTemplate.gradle

android {
    ndkPath "**NDKPATH**"

    compileSdkVersion **APIVERSION**
    buildToolsVersion '**BUILDTOOLS**'

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    }

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion **MINSDKVERSION**
        targetSdkVersion **TARGETSDKVERSION**
        applicationId '**APPLICATIONID**'
        ndk {
            abiFilters **ABIFILTERS**
        }
        versionCode **VERSIONCODE**
        versionName '**VERSIONNAME**'
    }```

presumably it's set up correctly, since it's reading from the project settings and they're set to min/target 29/34

I moved API 35 out of that path, still getting this:

going to try telling it to "use highest"

I think that's what got me through last time, although I had 35 installed then as well

it was telling it to update that installed 35

I was on 33 until google play rejected it. having it look for 36 when using 34 must have been broken for a long time

yeah, "use highest installed" now works and makes an sdk 34 build. I think I told it to update (installing 35) then use highest without restarting, so it used 34 for that one instance

like to be totally clear, targeting 34 doesn't work, but "use highest" makes a 34 build. at some point it's incorrectly looking for 36

[neon creek]

i'm experimenting with the Adaptive Performance packages (https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.adaptiveperformance@5.1/manual/user-guide.html) but i'm running into a basic issue with hysteresis; the indexer keeps bouncing a scaling parameter (resolution scaling in this case) back and forth between a level that reaches the framerate target, and a level that doesn't reach it

this results in quite a jarring experience for the user because the framerate keeps alternating between a smooth and solid 30fps and a variable rate below 30fps

what's the intended way to reduce this type of hysteresis, so that the indexer would actually stick to a good scaler level configuration once it's found one instead of jumping back and forth?

[odd arrow]

Research the error first, then post full question, including answers you've found you didn't understand.

[worn vine]

@jovial canopy can you give me link on site or name of publisher? I found CrazyLabs but looks like they work with hypercasual games my game is educational

[hard notch]

i dont know much about mobile development but how do devs make game objects and such scale with the res of the moible device?

[sacred creek]

Depends on the gameobject. You can adjust camera fov, you can scale things if needed, you can resize the UI dynamically.

Hey guys, i'm wondering if anyone can help me. I have a client that has asked about the performance of Unity builds on mobile devices. They would like to know how a simple 2D Unity build would compare to a similar app built in React or Flutter. Does anyone have any information or links comparing the performance of Unity and other competing engines?

[fallen compass]

"a simple 2D build" ..
a game? -> better in Unity.
an app? -> better in native.

I have a pretty simple question, can Unity build for Google Play Instant? Can it make aab's <15mb? If so, is it complicated or something the core engine supports? Cheers

hello guys anbody now how to fix this problme

[tired lily]

read the past dozen'ish messages

[nimble tide]

Does anyone here know how to fix this Gradle Build failure?

[tired lily]

read the past dozen'ish+1 messages and post the actual problem if you can't find any help on google

[nimble tide]

here

[tired lily]

you know each of those errors has multiple lines, right?

[nimble tide]

what

[tired lily]

click on one of those entries and expand the window to see the actual details the popup told you about

[nimble tide]

okay

it wont let me

like this?

[tired lily]

and you see how the panel at the bottom is too small to hold all the info? expand it. There's probably even a scrollbar at the right you've cropped out

[nimble tide]

like that

right?

[tired lily]

yes

something fishy in your project /Library/Bee. Close Unity, delete it, re-open, clean build

[nimble tide]

what do you mean there is something fishy in my project

[tired lily]

the error indicates something might be wrong in /Library/Bee, so your first step is to delete it in case there is old or invalid stuff there breaking your build

[nimble tide]

sorry if this annoys you but where is Library/Bee

[weary wedge]

i got a problem with selecting a provider, i got en new build for Mobile 2D but it wont let met check the samsung android provider

[tired lily]

[YOUR_PROJECT_DIR]/Library/Bee

[tired lily]

did you do something about that giant exclamation point? That's probably step 1

[weary wedge]

now i finaly enabled them en it tells me there is none selected

[nimble tide]

this

[tired lily]

that line seems to be printed if AdaptivePerformanceGeneralSettings SO is missing

[tired lily]

yes. Start by deleting Bee and rebuilding, and then nuking the entire of Library and rebuilding if the first thing didn't work

[nimble tide]

if i nuke the libary will it delete any files?

[tired lily]

no, Unity rebuilds that dir. But I assume your entire project is in source control because if it's not, that's another disaster waiting to happen

[nimble tide]

yeah i think it is

[tired lily]

I tested it and it all worked properly for me (with Android build target set). Assets/Adaptive Performance/AdaptivePerformanceGeneralSettings.asset should exist and it's created by AdaptivePerformanceSettingsManager. So maybe have a look in there and see why it wasn't

[nimble tide]

should i do a clean or normal build

[tired lily]

clean

Hey all,
I am testing apk for mobile and facing a memory issue. How can I track Untracked memory? And please let me know why its increase?

[forest night]

I’m getting a failed to load libmain.so error when I try to try it on android virtual device

[plucky skiff]

Most likely it's memory allocated from C#, you would need to use Unity memory tools to determine why it's so big

[inner dust]

love to hear it when the project I am starting on has never run the profiler and now, like a month frmo launch, wants to optimize

[north thunder]

Thanks, could you suggest me which tool and where I will get it?

As of now I am using only unity memory profiler.

[kind wren]

I have Samsung S22+ but when I build android developer mode and install using APK Installer by Uptodown, my application crash instantly

anyone know how to fix?

release mode works normally

[analog plover]

You need to check the error message with logcat

[brazen birch]

You need to look at logcat and figure out why it's crashing. Could be a bad unity version, plugin, android sdk, manifest entry, could be a code issue.

[kind wren]

Sorry if it sounds stupid, im quite new to unity and android thing, what's logcat?

[scarlet berry]

You can attach your phone and have unity build + install it, no thirdparty apps needed, and in the same step attach the debugger which spits out all logs on your pc

hi

I tried to add ads to my 2D game in Unity. I installed the required libraries, including 'Advertisement Legacy.' When I downloaded that library, the following error appeared (now I'll show it). Does anyone know what to do to solve that error and be able to build my game version? Because that error also causes the game build to get stuck and not continue.

[peak tartan]

It's just one message; it's just that Discord won't let me send it together due to character limit.

[brazen birch]

It looks like an iron source gradle error, but I don't use it for monetization, and my Spanish is rusty and I don't recognize the error. But someone else may weigh in. I suspect you have a few other error messages and one has the specifics

[peak tartan]

It says it doesn't detect something, and the error came up right after downloading libraries (the ones from the ads, that's why I associated it with that) thank you very much for answering me anyway

[rain leaf]

have you resolve the google play service dependencies?

[peak tartan]

I'm not sure, the error always appears now, I deleted the libraries I had downloaded and it still appears, so I know that at least the error doesn't come from there

[peak tartan]

I FOUND A SOLUTION THAT MAKES THAT ERROR MESSAGE STOP APPEARING, BUT WHEN I WANT TO BUILD MY GAME, 2 OTHERS COME OUT, THE LOADING BAR NO LONGER APPEARS OR THE OTHER ERROR BUT IT DOES NOT LET ME BUILD THE GAME, I ATTACHED THE ERROR HERE

Sorry for the capital letters

I attach the new errors that appear in the console

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':launcher:releaseRuntimeClasspath'. See the Console for details.

Activate the following so that the gradle error no longer appears

[kind wren]

@scarlet berry @brazen birch thank you!

Hi. I has stupid question. I use Google play game plugin and call ExternalDependensyManager->Android->Force Resolve after that in Assets/Plugins/Android add libs. I need start Build with this libs?

If I start Build with libs = Can't build. Too many errors message and logs has

I created a project from crastch with FirebaseAuth 12.3.0, FirebaseMessaging 12.3.0 FirebaseAnalytics 12.3.0 and Braze 7.1.0 and everything works fine on Android: I can build, run and verified working the 3 firebase services. I didn't compelte the Braze setup. Then I imported FirebaseCrashlytics 12.3.0 and it builds, but crashes on boot with this error:

Error FirebaseCrashlytics The Crashlytics build ID is missing. This occurs when the Crashlytics Gradle plugin is missing from your app's build configuration. Please review the Firebase Crashlytics onboarding instructions at https://firebase.google.com/docs/crashlytics/get-started?platform=android#add-plugin

I'm confused, I'd expect EDM4U to solve any necessary dependency correctly, but is there anything missing I should do?
I tried to add a strings.xml in Assets/Plugins/Android/res/values but Unity at build time gives an error telling that's not any more the way to add string resources

any hint?

[tired lily]

did you re-resolve dependencies after installing it?

[jovial canopy]

I'm publishing my game from xyz country for Android on Google play store, so my question is the same game can I publish on iOS from Australia ???

[tribal ledge]

Silly Q but can't seem to find an answer: How do I update my API levels for Android in unity hub? I only have level 30 available in player settings but google needs to 34.

[solid lake]

yes I did. Here are the resolution results:
other info: Unity 2023.2.12f1 with latest EDM4U 1.2.183
I'm attaching the resolver Android settings too

[tired lily]

do you have a folder called FirebaseCrashlytics.androidlib in Assets/Plugins/Android? the crashlytics build id should be in crashlytics_build_id.xml under res/values there

[solid lake]

No I don't, here's the content of the folder:
Are you sure it should be in that folder in latest Unity?
I ask because I tried to manually create the folder (just the folder, I didn;t even add the xml) and trying to build gave me a new error complaining that resources shouldn't go any more in res/values but should come from aar files (or simething ismilar, I could find the specific error if you wish...)

[tired lily]

you called the folder what? .androidlib is a special naming convention. It sounds like you used res/values

the exact path of the file would be Assets/Plugins/Android/FirebaseCrashlytics.androidlib/res/values/crashlytics_build_id.xml

[solid lake]

ok, I didn;t try that, I just created res/values

should the creation Assets/Plugins/Android/FirebaseCrashlytics.androidlib/res/values/crashlytics_build_id.xml be part of EDM4U's dependencies resolution? Or is it a manual step I should do?

[tired lily]

but it should be created automatically, so you might want to poke around and see where it's actually made

[solid lake]

ok, I'll give a look at the build scripts, thanks

[glossy sluice]

Android app manifest have "permission" attribute in the application tag, how do i put multiple permission to the attribute ? Or i only can put one ?

[tired lily]

What's your use case? Defining multiple required permissions would be strange

[tribal ledge]

Silly Q but can't seem to find an answer: How do I update my API levels for Android in unity hub? I only have level 30 available in player settings but google needs to 34.

[solid lake]

I guess... either your Unity version is too old to support above 30, or maybe you first need to install the API version locally to be able to select it?

[tribal ledge]

Do you have instrucitons on this? This is what I couldn't seem to find info about

Unity version 2021.3 it should be available for it

I assume I need to update the android sdk tools but no info that I could find about how to do that

[fallen compass]

You don't. You don't do this via the hub.

If the API level you need isn't available from the dropdown, then you need to install a newer version of Unity (2021.3 doesn't tell us which one you're using..)

It's a pain, I fight with it ~yearly .. and tbh the easiest way is just to get a newer version of Unity

[tribal ledge]

2021.3.6f1 so just updating to 2022 should work?

[north thunder]

Does anyone has used HLOD for mobile?

I have tried and getting some issue's.
Memory Increased
Loading time increased (even sometimes apk crashed).

[rain leaf]

I dont know how HLOD on unity works (heck, I never heard unity support hlod until you mentioned it), but if it works like unreal hlod, which bakes everything into a new static mesh and texture clusters, it's not surprising if it increases memory usage.

and if the memory increase is too large to be handled by the android device, well, it crashes. Or if the loading process is too long and the system thinks that it's freeze, it crashes

[north thunder]

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes its same as like Unreal HLOD.

A problem occurred evaluating project ':launcher'.

   > The option 'android.enableDexingArtifactTransform' is deprecated.
     The current default is 'true'.
     It was removed in version 8.3 of the Android Gradle plugin.
     If you run into issues with dexing transforms, try setting `android.useFullClasspathForDexingTransform = true` instead.```

having this gradle error while build apk for android

any solution ?

my unity version is Unity 6 LTS

[primal yoke]

Android folks tell me we're not using that deprecated option internally any more, are you perhaps using a plugin that is using it?

[jovial canopy]

I'm Using IronSource third-party plugin for AD mediation

[primal yoke]

perhaps check to see if there is an update to that

[jovial canopy]

I'm using IronSource very old version

Actually I just switched my project to Unity 6

It was works fine in my previous unity version

[sudden heron]

Unity 6 uses a newer version of Android Gradle Plugin, hence you're getting this error.

[jovial canopy]

Yess

I don't know how do I update my gradle to newer version

[sudden heron]

We have updated gradle for you, you need to update your scripts to remove "enableDexingArtifactTransform"

[jovial canopy]

Congratulations to me, the build is successful 👍 thanks guys.

If I make money through unity ads (not through google play at all), am I considered a merchant according to google play?

[bronze python]

Hello, I am encountering an issue in Unity when trying to integrate Unity Ads. When I attempt to resolve the project to prevent errors, I receive an error stating that the Java home reference is incorrect. I tried running echo %JAVA_HOME% in the command prompt, and it correctly shows the Java home path. I have also set the Java path in the system variables and environment path, but the same problem persists in Unity. For more details, I’ve attached pictures of the issue below the request.

[hollow remnant]

hello, after adding Adaptive Performance to my game, the x86_64 build on the Google Play PC Emulator does not work anymore, it just crashes after showing the splash image. I don't know if it is an issue caused by me (or Unity) or by the emulator. I'm assuming it's caused by Adaptive Performance because there's a reference to it in the crash log of the emulator. I'm using the latest version of the editor Unity 6. The arm build on my other device runs just fine.

is anyone able to help me im tring to rotate my canvas to landscape but it wont work

ive done everything

ive set the ios build to landscape and nothing works

[brazen birch]

That box is just showing you the ratio you set on the game view, it's not the actual build ratio

[zealous atlas]

How do I rotate the canvas

I had it earlier so it was landscape

[zealous atlas]

I want to change it to landscape tho

Like this

I took a photo when I had it working the movement pad and shoot button is landscape because. The canvas was landscape but somehow I’ve accidently changed it to portrait and it won’t go back

[brazen birch]

Yup, on the game view tab, just change the resolution from the little drop down

[zealous atlas]

I did

It’s set to this

2064 x 2752

But it’s in portrait

[brazen birch]

Show me the game view with the setting selected

Ok

[brazen birch]

You may just have them backwards and need to swap them 🙂

[zealous atlas]

Hmm backwards?

[brazen birch]

Yup the first number is width, second is height.

And right now you have the width at 2064 and height at 2752 (portrait). So you just need to swap them

[zealous atlas]

Let me test

[brazen birch]

You can hit the +, and add it as a second option, if you need

[zealous atlas]

It’s upside down now

Nice

And the screenshot sends it the right way up

Nvm

It’s fixed

But now another issue arises lmao

Why is the quality so bad?

If u don’t know then that’s I’ll just ask gpt or google it

[vestal radish]

yo I plan to make a microgame inside a giant mobile apps with unity2d ?
I mean how to integrate the database,
and on what platform it wrapped during the built process

[sleek eagle]

Check Unity as a Library:

[brazen birch]

The quality of your game or the UI thumbstick? I could expand on either

[zealous atlas]

I fixed it thanks I’m just having issues with the movement pad now 😭

I like the variable position joystick this provides

[hollow remnant]

thanks for answering, but I've made other builds of my game meanwhile and lost the log file. But I've discovered after installing a game from Google Play on the Google Play PC emulator, it crashes just like my game, so I guess this is an issue with the emulator and not with Unity.

also, I shared the apks (both armv7 and armv8) to my close friends and on real Android devices the game runs smooth and without any problems.

[sleek eagle]

Emulators can often have issues. You can track it down or test on (low end to be safe) devices and hope for the best haha

[distant arrow]

Hi, any of you ever find an issue where app icon is randomly missing in iOS 18 on install?
I suspect it is because of the new dark mode app icon

Any of you know the fix?

[vestal radish]

what kind of platform do you think it will be built ?
my best guest is webgl

[sleek eagle]

I think it's for native apps, so iOS or Android. No idea how web support will be

[vestal radish]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-BuildProcess.html#:~:text=export the Unity project,import that into Android

it's said build as a gradle and it will be imported to the mobile apps framework

[unique parcel]

Anyone can fix the build problem on android with IAP version 4.12.xx and Firebase?

[unique lichen]

Hi! Can anyone help point me to the right direction?
I'm trying to build my unity app for iOS but I keep getting the "EXC_RESOURCE (RESOURCE_TYPE_MEMORY: high watermark memory limit exceeded) " during app launch which crashes the app.
Im not sure if this is related to how I built the xcode proj on unity or in xcode itself
Thanks!

[tired lily]

why do you think this is xcode related? Does a test project build and run?

[north thunder]

Anyone knows why its taking too much cpu?

I have tried in blank scene but still taking too much cpu.

[tired lily]

this does not look like a blank scene. It seems like you are generating a monster amount of garbage. Is this every frame, or a one-time ~375ms spike?

[tired lily]

did you edit Assets/Plugins/AndroidManifest.xml in any way? Are you using build and run? Wipe Library and run a clean build

[north thunder]

In starting and somehow in the middle of the game as well

[tired lily]

well how much garbage are you spewing every frame on average? Hopefully not 27 KB

[north thunder]

Almost showing the same.

[tired lily]

then it's simple as that; you have a lot of garbage to collect so it takes a lot of time to collect it. Time to go profile your scripts and fix it

[north thunder]

Oh! Okay

I have another environment with the same setup. So is it possible some assets are taken from their?

[tired lily]

it's more likely a few scripts behaving badly. It's possible to generate a ton of garbage with assets (instantiate, creating extra materials/meshes/etc on accident) but less likely

it should be pretty obvious which one(s) are the issue with deep profiling on

[north thunder]

Okay 👍 thanks. I will do deep profiling.

[copper ermine]

My turn! I'm getting very weird visual glitches when building for android

I've narrowed the purple down to needing a default material

But I don't know why there are holes. Does anyone have any ideas?

[tired lily]

assuming you mean the magenta ones, that looks like a material missing a shader. Are you doing any custom shader stuff? Are the glitches only around text? What Unity version? Is the stuff at the top also a glitch? Do you have any dev options (frame profiling etc) on? What device gpu?

[copper ermine]

I'm using URP but I disabled all the shaders
The glitch spots are always in the same place but not always around the text. It's a solid, grey asset so I don't know why the corner is being cut off
2022.3.14f1
I'm gonna say "no" since I've never interacted with the dev options
I'm not sure about the gpu but I'm running it on Android 8.0.0

[tired lily]

"disabled all the shaders" meaning what exactly? Do you have another device to test? Did you try a clean build? Did you try a different Unity version?

[copper ermine]

A few weeks ago I went into the settings and disabled a bunch of shader options (but I'm looking for them again and can't find them so now I don't know what I did)
I've been building for android 10+ without any issues but I've downgraded to 8 so it'd be compatible with the phone I'm using
I've rebuilt it multiple times with the same results
I haven't, no

[tired lily]

maybe you can go back in your vc history and try a build without those shader changes? Does this device have any issues with other games?

[copper ermine]

Haven't tried other games but I can give it a look

I suppose I could? I'll get my friends to try it on their phones and see if it's only on mine aswell

[copper ermine]

I've checked and other games doesn't have any issues

[copper ermine]

figured it out. I was missing these

[arctic marlin]

My game runs mostly fine, only if I build for android, the scene will not spawn any prefabs, but only at the first I started the game.
If I quit the game and restart it again, it will never happen again on this installation.
But it 100% always happen at the first time after playing a freshly installed game and only on Android. PC and Linux runs perfectly fine?

Why does this happen? Is this a Unity bug or something?
I use the latest Unity 6 LTS for this.

This bug only happens on Android, not for Windows and Linux builds.
And like I said, it only happens at the first time starting it after a fresh installation and never again as long I don't reinstall the apk.

The left screenshot is at the first time I start my game after a installation.
Th right screenshots is how it normally looks.
I cant debug it because its a bug that doesn't happen in the Editor because it only happens after the android .apk installation and only once and never again until I reinstall.

The code that let spawn those red devil prefabs is nothing special and should work always and everywhere.
I mean, it DOES always work on Windows and Linux, only android have this onetime struggle after the first start from a fresh .apk installation...

[copper ermine]

are you sure they're not actually spawning? they could be invisible through a quirk in android

what happens if you fly around in the area they're supposed to occupy?

[arctic marlin]

The devils prefabs are missing, and the player cant move.
Even if I go back to the mainmenu and load again scene 1, its stays broken until the app was closed and started again.

And after you restarted the game, everythings work perfect.

But everytime, the first start after the apk installation makes the game start broken.

The devils are missing, zhe player cant move, but shoot button seems to work...
And i cant save the game.

Everything is so messed up, but only on Android and only after the first start after installation.
Restart the game and erverything works, no matter how often you restart it again, this bug will only appear after the first startup after the installation.

[rain leaf]

To be sure, check the logcat.
But my wild guess is you are loading some saved data, but since it's fresh install the saved data is not there yet

[arctic marlin]

Loading saved data?

Do you mean how I save data like levels and settings or does unity also save and load their own stuff?

If you want, I can send you the apk file...

[rain leaf]

Do you mean how I save data like levels and settings or does unity also save and load their own stuff?
How you load saved data, like unlocked levels or highscore etc

[arctic marlin]

I use this asset:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/input-management/save-game-free-gold-update-81519

[arctic marlin]

But anyway, this still doesn't explain why the devils Prefab doesen't spawn and why the player movement Buttons don't work either....

The possibility to save and load is just one of many glitches in the first runtime after installation.

[rain leaf]

assuming you load data when the scene started, and you do all the spawning stuff after the load on the same script, if the load part is error, the remaining code in the function wont be executed

again, put some debug text, and check it in the logcat

you'll just firing blindly in the dark without seeing the logcat

[arctic marlin]

I will try it out if I'm back home.

But was his is you already been known by others?
In Unity 6000.0.23f1 ?
