Sorry late reply, was midnight my side

I have now tried importing the plugins I was using with unity 2022.3.46.f1, cleared library folder and then resolved dependencies, did a clean build then receiving these errors
currently using unity 6000.0.23.f1 + firebase-v12.2.0 + googleads-v9.2.0 + applovin-v7.0.0
yesterday tried firebase-v12.3.0 + googleads-v9.2.1 + applovin-v7.0.0 had same issue

I have tried firebase individually and googleads individual , build successfull
however when both are included it gets failed with this error

[tired lily]

Why are you using both applovin and googleads? Don't they have an adapter already in the sdk?

What do you have set up in the max sdk for ad networks?

[tulip comet]

so it aint necessary for googleads sdk when using applovins adapters?

[tired lily]

are you accessing google ads solely through max or some weird hybrid solution?

[tulip comet]

hybrid u can say, if applovin ads aint working unity ads will play

well so far its been working so far

used the same package working on the 2022 version

tho seems need to find a correct way with unity 6

[tired lily]

well figure out which other manifests are defining gma_ad_services_config. I assume max's google ad manager is pulling in a different version of the one or more play games services dependencies, and that's why you have a duplicate resource

if that's not the case, you might be able to write a small editor script that strips it out of the offending manifest

[tulip comet]

ok so what should be in the script, its kinda confusing when dealing with packages

[tired lily]

well did you look at your original error? You do have a collision issue, and the easiest thing might be to try the solution the original error suggested with a replace tag

I have a feeling that's just the first problem though, and you'll need to figure out how to get the same set of dependencies despite using two different versions of google ads

this looks like something you can keep an eye on: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-unity/issues/3652

[tulip comet]

thanks ill have a look into now and let you if i succeed

Hi, I have a problem building an apk file.
Can someone help me?

There's always an error like this with Gradle and I don't know what else to do.

I've already watched all the YouTube tutorials and Unity forums but nothing has helped.

I use Unity 6 (6000.0.23f1)

Things I've already done:

• Manually installed Gradle (version 8.4)
• Reinstalled Java
• Completely reinstalled Unity
• Checked the correct version in the Source.properties file
• Tried different API levels
• Deleted the .gradle folder
• Took my brother's .gradle folder (because it works for him)

I just don't know what to do anymore.
Does anyone know what else I could do?

[analog plover]

Are these the right ones ?

[analog plover]

"java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: bind" is the actual error message

The first thing I would do is put the project somewhere other than OneDrive, that can mess up unexpected things. If that doesn't work then google the error message

You might also want to delete this file here because you have a lot of secret keys visible there

[forest night]

If Unity’s social api is deprecated, then what to use now? (I’m specifically talking about the android google play services package from the github - it still uses the social api)

[mortal moon]

I have made, thank you

[mortal moon]

It's in One drive?
I didn't know that

I actually saved it somewhere else when I created the project...

[analog plover]

There were a lot of OneDrive paths in the output but maybe they were unrelated

[mortal moon]

OMG, it's just my VPN.
I'm fed up xD 2 days of being upset that nothing was working and then this.

Now it works
Thanks for your help

[arctic marlin]

What can I get from this setting?

Bcs the explanation is not good enough...

I want to know if it enables multi threading?
and if yes, will this cause a higher power usage?

[iron acorn]

It enables multithreading for that particular part of graphics processing. And yes, the more resources are used, the more power the hardware would use.

[north thunder]

Hello everyone,

I have a question.
I'm creating a large open-world environment for a mobile game, and I keep hearing that for optimization, it's recommended to check "Batch Static" to combine meshes and reduce draw calls. However, when I check the memory usage, I notice that the meshes consume a significant amount of memory when "Batch Static" is enabled. If I uncheck "Batch Static," the meshes use less memory. What would be the best practice to ensure the game runs smoothly on mobile?

[raven cloud]

can anyone help me with this? ive ran the download for the android support a few times now and it finished successfully but its not working

[analog plover]

Static batching improves performance at the cost of increased memory usage. That's how optimizing typically works, you have to strike a balance between different types of resources

[north thunder]

What do you mean by different types of resources? Could please explain more?

[analog plover]

I mean like with static batching, if you use it you use more memory and less CPU

[north thunder]

okay, I think I have to do some objects with static and the objects more then 20 or 30 I will mark as GPUI. Am I right?

[analog plover]

Depends entirely on the game and what you consider an acceptable amount of memory usage

[north thunder]

yeah! right I will try it. Thanks for the help.

One more thing could you make me clear. while checking the memory profiler some times some objects shown as duplicate.

In above image objects are shown as duplicates why it happen. Because I have used same prefabs as multiples time in scenes?

[analog plover]

Well if you have two objects in the scene then you have two objects regardless of what their source is

[north thunder]

so is there any way to avoid it?

[analog plover]

no

[north thunder]

Thank you so much!😀

[turbid salmon]

i got this error and this popup when openning the project how to fix that?

[north thunder]

but i alredy download it from unity hub

[north thunder]

did you installed it?

if installed then you need to configure it manually.

[turbid salmon]

alredy configure the path manually and automaticly

how do i fix this error when uploading my game

[scarlet berry]

in the <application> add android:allowBackup="false" -> <application android:allowBackup="false">

[arctic marlin]

There is also "Multithreaded Rendering*" that is enabled by default, would it also safe a few more % of battery to also disable those too?

[arctic marlin]

After I pressed Start game to load the scene, I got following with logcat:

And I am already trying to only get the external write permission...

[safe linden]

Hello guys,
Is there any way to disable
UnityShaderCache file under Android storage.
It caches the compiled shader binaries there, but I don't want this thing to happen.

[raven cloud]

can anyone help me with this?

[analog plover]

Is there a specific reason why you're using such an old editor version?

[raven cloud]

no

[analog plover]

Then the first step would be to update and see if that fixes it

[rain leaf]

if you are targetting android 11 and above (which is most likely yes), Write External Permission is no longer has any effect.

[jovial canopy]

Is Firebase push notifications for Android and iOS is completely free forever ????

[arctic marlin]

Its Android 12.

[arctic marlin]

And what is the unity solution to this?

[arctic marlin]

Is this making now development more complicated or easy, not sure about that. But I still have to struggle, but strangly, this glitch that only appears after the first runtime after installation, It happend on my Samsung Galaxy S10 with Android 12, but on another phone, in my case a Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, it did not appeard and worked just perfecty, even this phone does have Android 14.

What is going on and why does it cause this issue on my S10?

[rain leaf]

I have no idea 😆
I use player prefs instead of external files and never have any problem. If you are using plugins, you should ask plugin owner instead

[arctic marlin]

Already in, but weird is, It did worked on my phone but on a older Unity version. Unity 6000.0.23 LTS is having some struggles, atleast with my phone.

And only the first runtime after installation!

[raven cloud]

can anyone help me as to why whenever i try to make a build of my game in unity i get theese errors? it does say i dont have a supported version of OpenJDK, SDK and NDK but i downloaded them from the unity archive downloads and it finished successfully

[analog plover]

Did you update the editor already?

[arctic marlin]

I fixed it,

I just upgraded from Unity 6000.0.23 to Unity 6000.0.24 and this issue is gone, without changing anything.
How is this possible?

[forest night]

Does the social api still work for apple? Unity 6

[sleek eagle]

Bug fixes?

[arctic marlin]

I searched for it but cant find where Unity shows his devblogs on small version changes like that

[sleek eagle]

Look for the version page and click release notes

[arctic marlin]

But what change of Unity 6000.0.24 could be affected my issue, that only seems to happen on my Phone, while other phones like the Android 14 A54 doesen't have it?

Thats such a weird and lucky way to solve a bug.

I mean, how big is the changce, that from upgrading of Unity 6000.0.23 to 6000.0.24 will fix this issue, even if there doesen't seem anything in the Realese Notes, that could affect, why my game now have permissions on its first runtime after installation, to save and read datas?

[hard flax]

Hey, will the OnPointerDown in IPointerDownHandler (or something like this idk) work on mobile sensors?

[raven cloud]

Can anyone help me with this

[odd arrow]

Research what versions exactly you need to have with this specific build. Or install from the Hub with android support and you will have the correct installation.

[raven cloud]

Ok

[raven cloud]

It wont let me install anything from the hub (validation failed) and ive downloaded the correct versions android support a few times and its not working. so ive ttried downloading the most recent versions android support and that didnt work either

[odd arrow]

!install

[grand wind]

When Unity fails to install checklist

• Make sure you have enough space including on C: drive.
• Check that it's not being blocked by antivirus/security programs.
• Look through the logs for a real reason why the setup fails they are pinned [here](#💻┃unity-talk message).

If you still have issues, perform a clean install in another location:

• Install the Hub and Unity in a non-system drive or a clean new folder in the root of C: drive.
• Failing that use the recovery Refresh option or reinstall OS entirely then repeat the previous step.

[raven cloud]

ive done all of that though. twice

[odd arrow]

all of them?

[raven cloud]

yes

[odd arrow]

including installing on non system drive?

[raven cloud]

Yup

[odd arrow]

and reinstalling os

[raven cloud]

did that too

[odd arrow]

Did you actually check the logs to find out the real issue?

[raven cloud]

Yeah i did

gimme a second to pull up the error code

[raven cloud]

sorry it took so long. heres what the install logs say

[odd arrow]

Did you find any errors or fails?

[raven cloud]

i looked thru it a while back and there was 1 error in it lemme see if i can find it

[raven cloud]

could this be the issue?

the highlighted

[odd arrow]

Do you always have this error during install?

Also what about actual android packages logs

[raven cloud]

i was just looking through other logs, should i try to download something else to try to get an error to pop up?

[raven cloud]

ill check thoose

[odd arrow]

If you fail specifically installing packages, install Unity separately, then install packages in Hub

Might clear logs just before to watch them

[raven cloud]

i cleared the logs and inside of one its giving me the same error i sent a few mins ago

with the download

[odd arrow]

when you trying to install android support from the Hub specifically?

[raven cloud]

i was just trying to install another version of the editor, before i tried anything else and its giving me validation failed and that error in the logs

[odd arrow]

install Unity separately, then install packages in Hub

Then isolate errors associated with it

And then research those.

Hi Unity Devs, I need your help!

I'm working on an app where I want users to share a photo from their gallery to my app so I can perform some operations on the image.

It should work like when you press the "Share" button on your phone, and options like Bluetooth, Drive, or Quick Share appear—I want my app to show up there, and users should be able to select it to share the photo.

So far, I've managed to make my app appear in the sharing options by modifying the Manifest file. However, I'm stuck on the next step: how do I receive the intent and perform modifications on the image?

Additionally, I want the image modifications to happen in a second scene. How can I properly transition to that second scene after receiving the image?

Any guidance would be appreciated!

[bronze python]

2 months and i don t found the solution

[brazen birch]

The editor overrides that path and uses one that is configured via the editor by default

Unity > Preferences > External Tools.

Alternatively installing a newer unity patch usually fixes it as well as it would have the default paths

never developed anything for android...do playerprefs work just the same as on pc?

as in, can I just slap in save and load player prefs

My android game isn't building when I change the API levels. I use Unity 2023 Beta version.

Google Play states i must use an API level 34 or higher so I switched to that but now it doesn't build anymore?

@lucid shuttle Don't ping people into your questions. Read #📖┃code-of-conduct

[lucid shuttle]

Okay, but could you please help me with this issue?

[tired lily]

What have you tried? Atm it looks like you did 20 seconds of work and promptly gave up. If you just need to get launch intent, google "unity3d get android intent". If you need something more advanced, combine https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/receive#handling-content with https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-custom-activity.html and https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AndroidJavaClass.html (and related JNI helper classes as needed)

[lucid shuttle]

No, I have spent 5 hours on it; I just didn’t mention it here. After spending that time, I sent a message here."

[tired lily]

So what are you stuck on, exactly? You seem to understand the right things you need to do already and I guess didn't come across the Unity documentation I mentioned

[lucid shuttle]

As I mentioned earlier, I have successfully made my app appear in the sharing options. However, I'm struggling to retrieve the image in my app. I've tried using multiple scripts and Java, but I consistently encounter various errors, sometimes related to the URI.

[tired lily]

there we go, there's your actual question. What errors? which scripts?

okay, so what's the problem? it's ai code so unusable as is but it seems to have managed to hallucinate essentially what you need to do

[lucid shuttle]

Regarding the errors, I have reset the changes in the repository to start over. I will send you the errors after applying the changes again.

my previous games were in built in render pipline

[harsh parrot]

How do you access persistentdatapath to make sure your save data is deleted? My game keeps loading previous progress.

[harsh parrot]

I mean access on the phone itself so I can manually delete the savedata there if necessary

I know I can go into Apps and delete the data using the button there, and that DOES reset my game progress like it's supposed to be. However when I uninstall the game and build it again, it goes back to having previous game progress. Whereas in the editor it doesn't have any such issue. So yeah I'm confused

Basically I'm not even sure if the progress is sticky because of data on the phone that isn't getting deleted, or if the build itself is somehow bringing that data across

I need to do a beta build for my testers ASAP so if someone could please help me with this it would be appreciated

[rain leaf]

iirc, saved data in app folder path remains even after uninstall, and I think you're stuck as there are no uninstall event you can listen to delete the file.
you can do work around by checking if your game is first run by checking and writing into playerprefs, and if it's firstrun, delete previous data (if it exists)
Or... just use playerprefs to save data and save yourself from headache 😆

[unique zephyr]

someone explain pls

[forest night]

I recommend using playerprefs

[fallen compass]

PlayerPrefs are for preferences, not for game save data

[forest night]

Yea but I use it for save data (I encrypt the string) cuz its easier

yes, the reddit post was not the first pop when I did, I was using some youtube tutorial, that was lacking in crucial info

I switched platform to IOS, I selected target device to "Any iOS Device" and I got unity remote 5 open.

could be, google-fu skill issue, but didn't find anything helpful really

[fallen compass]

well, now it just sounds like the general unity remote being picky problem

it's not a stable thing, from what i've read

[deep hamlet]

yes, I've come up with the same conclusion, I found some really specific order in which to launch everything, but no luck

how are ppl even developing games on iOS like wtf

How to fix

[winged hound]

I'm going insane. How do I actually build a game to android?

I read about the modules but I can't add a module only on the unity version where I need to

can add them to all other unity versions

[winged hound]

now I get the error on my phone where the app is made for an old version of android, which doesn't support latest privacy settings etc

but I just installed the modules and used recommended, shouldn't it work?

[winged hound]

ok I fixed that but now I can't build the app, unity just says failure while executing com.android.buld. etc

[fading jacinth]

Hey guys, just wanted to go ahead and ask before i implement some solutions i found and thought of.

Is there is no other way to scale or expand the actual Game View (What the player sees) for different mobile resolutions automatically? I would need to fix this by a script or is there some neat unity trick i dont know off? Thanks.
Would love to hear how you guys go about this problem.

[tired lily]

and? What other errors? What happened when you tried the suggested fix? What other things have you tried?

[winged hound]

If you're replying to me, I fixed it by updating the editor version. Ofc it broke some scripts but that's what you get

[rapid sun]

Hi, hopefully a quick one. I have a native c++ .so file which I'm trying to load in my unity project. I also have the exact same native plugin as a .dll which works fine on my windows builds, however looking at my logs I keep getting this exception: DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'nestopia_libretro'. Tried the load the following dynamic libraries: Unable to load dynamic library 'nestopia_libretro' because of 'Failed to open the requested dynamic library (0x06000000) dlerror() = dlopen failed: library "nestopia_libretro" not found

I've read through the docs and done a lot of searching online. As far as I can tell I'm doing things the correct way. I've placed my plugins under Assets/Plugins/Android/libs/arm64-v8a or Assets/Plugins/Android/libs/armeabi-v7a etc. depending on the architecture. In my C# file I load the dll like this:

    [DllImport("nestopia_libretro")]
    public static extern void retro_init();

I've also extracted the apk file and made sure the .so files are present

[forest night]

Has anyone released on android/ios here? Need to ask a very short question

[neon thicket]

Just ask your question please

[forest night]

I don’t normally ask to ask, this instance is cuz I asked this earlier and no one replied

Looking at many mobile game examples, I guess it is better to have the package id/bundle id all in lowercase. So in the “Player” section, do people just write company name and product name in lowercase or is there a setting I am missing? Or does apple and google automatically make the package/bundle id lowercase(they are not in my testing releases but maybe it changes once published idk) ?

[neon thicket]

Couldn't say, I've always just done lowercase

[forest night]

So in the player section, you just enter the company and product name lowercase?

[neon thicket]

yes, com.companyname.productname

[forest night]

Ty

[neon thicket]

Sorry, that's not what I meant. In the android settings, there will be a place to input the actual .com.companyname.product string.

Though according to your screenshot, you haven't installed the android build module.

[forest night]

I did

[forest night]

Ok so this is what I mean: do you enter the company name and product name under the “player” in the usual way (starting with a capital letter for example) then override the bundle id / package id to be all lowercase

Or just enter the company name and product name under the “player” all in lowercase

[forest night]

So you don’t have to override anything. I know its rlly a small difference, but im trying to understand whats the common practice

[neon thicket]

They don't have to match. What shows up in the url of google play is what you set in the .com

So you're free to to put your company/product name at the top of the Player settings to whatever format you prefer.

[forest night]

Whats the common practice tho?

[neon thicket]

There is none, I don't think those strings at the top are even used for mobile

[forest night]

Yea but if you dont override the bundle id / package id they are not formatted to be all lowercase

In case you enter the company/product name starting with a capital

[neon thicket]

At that point, I don't know if Google will force it to be in the url

[forest night]

Just surfed a bit and there are apps with package ids starting with capital

[neon thicket]

Okay, well problem solved then

So at the point, just do whatever you prefer to look at I suppose

[forest night]

Ok so let me paraphrase my question: I find it better to format the bundle id / package id to be all lowercase as well. In this case, should I just set the product/company name to be all lowercase and not override anything or set the product/company name to be normal and override the bundle id / package id to be all lowercase

What would be the common practice in my case?

[sleek eagle]

It honestly doesn't really matter. I see most studios set the override, so in case someone edits the company or project name not all hell breaks loose

[brazen birch]

Good question, Google Play requires lowercase, and will give you an error if you don't

If it's multiplayer, most likely you need to use push notification service
Singleplayer could just use local notification

That's just a momentary capture from the profiler. But it's saying it's running heavy (99.7%), 32% to what looks like Photon Fusion 2 sync, 27 or something for rendering and cut off so i can't see the remainder.

It looks like the scene rendering needs optimizing (geomtry/render pipeline changes/lighting etc usual cleanup). No idea on the cut off part though unfortunately.

[north thunder]

Thanks I will play around the scene.

[lucid shuttle]

Can you help me with this issue? I have a camera app, and while the camera displays correctly on Android, it appears horizontally stretched on iOS. I’m using a 16:9 raw image texture, but despite trying multiple approaches, the camera view remains stretched on iOS. Could you test this on your project as well to see if it behaves the same way on iOS?

[brazen birch]

You should first query the acceptable resolutions, you could be trying to set a resolution that the camera doesn't accept. Then, with that said, debug log the screen and camera resolutions - if they match, the problem is how ou are displaying the texture not the capture.

I don't like to build for iOS, run stuff through a build server, then xcode - it's a lot to ask of strangers

Does anyone know why audioMixer.SetFloat does not work on mobile? Everything I've setup works perfectly well in the Editor (2022.3.51f1) but when compiled on mobile nothing happens.
I want to affect effects in nested audio groups. First I thought there was an issue with paths or something, but I get no errors. Logs tell me the envelopes are being executed as expected but there is still no audible change.
I have also tried to affect exposed params on the master group, which renders the same result: Works in Editor but not on mobile devices.
I've had a 12h session with chatgpt already trying this and that and whatnot. Maybe someone here knows anything about this?

[sacred creek]

Quick google suggestion was to use SetVolume, did you try this?

[hasty portal]

Thanks, I have not, will try that

[hasty portal]

but for exposed params such as filter frequencies, why would SetVolume be used?
I've tried SetParameter, didn't help, worked in Editor and not on mobile

[wind heron]

hello, how do you resolve this?
SDK Platform Tools version 0.0 < 32.0.0.

[hasty portal]

It's not easy to find info about why exposed mixer params and/or mixer snapshot transitions work fine in the editor but not on any mobile device. I've found a few having issues but the threads aren't resolved or solution didn't work.

• Are there any examples of successful cases with AudioMixer real time manipulation on mobile devices?
• Does Unity have any documented issues or platform-specific limitations with AudioMixer.SetFloat, snapshots, or AudioMixer in general on iOS and Android that could be causing this behavior?
• Are there alternative methods recommended for achieving real-time parameter adjustments on mobile that would bypass the current limitations of SetFloat and snapshot transitions?
• Are there tools or diagnostic flags to verify if mobile platforms are actually processing AudioMixer parameter changes?

I installed Unity Ads to put ads on my game, everything works fine until when building the version the following error appears, I searched for tutorials and everything and I couldn't find anything, the gradle fails and everything is correct as it should be, I tried creating other projects and the same thing happens, please help me

[quick panther]

You're using unity 6 which uses a newer version of gradle with a couple of changes

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/com.unity.ads.html

Are you on the correct version

[peak tartan]

Which version would be compatible then for the "Advertisement Legacy 4.12.0 · July 17, 2024"

[peak tartan]

Where do I download that version? It doesn't appear in Unity and I can't find it on the page you posted, sorry.

[quick panther]

Lemme see

[peak tartan]

the page you sent me or unity?

[quick panther]

Unity
The page is just a list of compatible versions

[quick panther]

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/unity-ads-android/releases

Here

[peak tartan]

download this version? 4.12.4?

[quick panther]

Hmmm, unsure
Newer versions may be better or may have some bugs
Check the changlogs and see if there's some known issues column. Choose the version which seems the most stable for you. Check if there are some bugs which don't matter much for your use case

[peak tartan]

OK THANKS

[quick panther]

Yw 🙂

[peak tartan]

I upload the file but it is not detected, I restarted Unity and tried other versions but I don't know if I'm uploading it wrong, should I download the 3 files that are on Git Hub or should I just unzip and place the first one? although it fails as I mentioned

[peak tartan]

Sorry for the inconvenience anyway

I download these 3 files, right?

What do I do with the sources folder? The gradle and other things are inside there, but how do I load it into the project?

[quick panther]

Oh

[quick panther]

Hmm that's weird lol
I have never used unity ads so idk what the files look like
It's weird that the right version for the editor isn't available in the package manager.

https://youtu.be/b9JKv1XkEw4?si=Y5jTr8lhPfebaYPC check this out tho
And read the first comment btw

And maybe you'll get to download the preview version of the plugin

This is one of the reasons why I am not using the latest lts rn and am on 2022 instead
Unity 6 is very new and many plugins would take some time to properly support it and come out of their preview release

[peak tartan]

Yes, the truth is that it is strange

I'm thinking of lowering the version of the game to the available ones and that's it.

Thank you very much Jimmy from The Office, hahaha, thank you very much for taking the time to answer me and also trying to help me with this, if I find a solution that works for me (basically I'm going to downgrade the version and try) I'll let you know, thanks

[mighty patio]

hello ,
am trying to build my game and i get this error , the plugin already in the "Build.gradle" file but i still get the error that it cannot find the plugin , i try different version of the plugin its the same error , i find people that for some reason it work find after they use VPN and turn fire wall but didn't work with me , i try other solution too but nothing work
thanks

[native nacelle]

Question: I want a really small game (match it) to be playable by other people. Don't want to deploy to mobile stores bcuz IOS is a hassle (I dont have a macbook and cloud building seems like a hassle for this small experiment) and I dont want to pay for playstore license. is WEBGL a good choice for this? will it work on both android and IOS browsers?

[sleek eagle]

If budget is important get the new M4 mini base model and get a NAS for storage (;
Any Mac with M2 or newer should be absolutely fine. Having the M4 would be great for any device!

[sleek eagle]

WebGL should be fine. Mobile has gotten way better support in 2022 and Unity 6

[native nacelle]

thanks! just needed a confirmation since ive never done it before, will stick to this. It's a really small and light game anyways

[brave echo]

Hey i have a question so my render texture works fine in my editor but when i tried to build it for my android my render texture became black for some reason, is there anyway to fix this? is my setup on the android build is wrong?

[fallen compass]

is there anyway to fix this? -> yes.
is your setup wrong? -> you haven't shared anything, so no one can tell you.

[brave echo]

right sorry this is my setup for the render texture then i just attach this to my raw image

and when i tried to build it its black on my android

[fallen compass]

and what did you find when you searched google?

[brave echo]

Depth Stencil Format to D16_UNORM, previously my option is None but still not fixed the black render texture

[fallen compass]

got any post processing?

[brave echo]

in my project no

do i need to use post processing for this?

[fallen compass]

no, of course not 😄

[brave echo]

oh okay

[fallen compass]

I remember having an issue with things being black on Android, because of post processing (render textures weren't involved). Was going to suggest disabling PP as a test

[brave echo]

ah i see im not using the post processing for now so it might be different issue but same problem xD

[fallen compass]

nah, different problem - it was years ago, so IIRC, the problem was with AO

[brave echo]

ah i see okay

[sacred jasper]

Pls answer I'm turning bald

[verbal cypress]

Hey all, i was thinking of publishing my game to the google play store and while making an account it says if I want to monetize my game my FULL LEGAL NAME AND ADDRESS is shown on my public profile??????? Does this mean i can't have ads in my game unless I want to tell the internet where i live?

[narrow yacht]

Is there any way I can build my project for ios on windows?

[sacred jasper]

Fixed 😁

[fleet zealot]

No. 😕

you cant

[brazen birch]

Pretty much, either that or found a business and use it's address

Also, pretty sure they need that info regardless of monetization for the store page.

[verbal cypress]

man, thats a real shame, I'm just a solo dev and I'd rather not have people know where I live

[verbal cypress]

I'm okay with Google having it (god knows they already have it) but to have it publicly shown to anyone is a little alarming

[brazen birch]

Yeah, I personally believe their last round of changes was intended to stop people from self publishing and to start limiting their store only to businesses.

Not just by making all your info public, but new indies now need 20 consecutive testers, and other things. Meanwhile we get to just flash a Corp certificate and we go on with our day

[verbal cypress]

:(

I guess Ill stick to publishing on itch io i guess dang

[brazen birch]

Itch is awesome - we do well with it

[verbal cypress]

yeah i've been on there for a bit, but thought I could reach more people by publishing on the play store

[simple nova]

Hey, i dont know how to have a responsive ui on mobile and tablet, can you help me please?

[gaunt gazelle]

Hello, any idea why Ad delivery was disabled on one of my project?
I can't enable it back

[sleek eagle]

What is responsive?
If you mean scaling, use the canvas scaler

[north thunder]

Anyone please explain me why its taking much GPU(Scene has only Terrain).

[sleek eagle]

Terrain sucks for performance, especially on mobile.
On github there are terrain to mesh tools. Check those maybe if you want to use terrain as a base.
There also are some terrain assets which work better

Lowering terrain details and settings also helps, but it will still be heavy for sure

[north thunder]

Thank, So if I will convert terrain into mesh then how I place grass on it?

[sleek eagle]

Grass, depending on how it is rendered, causes a TON of overdraw. That's why many mobile games dont use it or use a very advanced mesh based grass system. Planes with alpha textures probably will destroy performance on most phones

If you only taget high end phones, you can use terrain with it's grass. Then lower the terrain quality and accuracy and the grass density (and size).
If you also want to support low end devices, maybe reconcider the tech you use for terrains

[north thunder]

Yeah! agree.

Just curios to know how COD, how they rendered vegetation for mobile?

[sleek eagle]

COD not sure. If they render a ton (like BoTW) they probably used simple meshes and maybe alpha textures for up close.
Arola on YouTube has a playlist for performant grass rendering!

[north thunder]

Thanks 😀

[gaunt gazelle]

Someone?

[sleek eagle]

Try the forums

[gaunt gazelle]

I've sent a ticket, but I wanted to know if someone already had this problem, it look like others on the forum experienced it as a form of terms of service violation, and it was a false positive.

[rapid cliff]

Any idea why it wont build ?
Im trying to build it for Android ( building an apk ) but I keep getting this error

[simple nova]

Sry i wasn't a lot on discord yesterday, i thought unity got a better option but i already use the canvas scaler

[sleek eagle]

The rect transform also has relative scaling. So that it takes up 30% of the width at all times. Diving into this can make quite good UI tbh

Plenty of settings to play with

[sleek eagle]

First step is to update to Unity 6 (latest version)
That is an old tech stream version, so maybe it's just a bug

[fallen compass]

It won't be a bug. it will be something wrong with the setup.. most likely gradle build fail

[fiery estuary]

Hello, I want to know, how can we do memory profiling while running game on iOS?

@fallen compass

[ripe gyro]

I get an error on launch Android build on device.

Can't load library: dlopen failed: library "libmagtsync.so" not found

I really don't understand what is going on and how to fix this, someone can help with this?

Target SDK is 34 and Minimal API is 27. Doesn't matter what GAPI I use, same result with OpenGLES or Vulkan.

I use Unity 2021.3.35f1.

[quick panther]

I am using a mesh terrain with a simple vertex colour shader for texturing. Seems to work very well on old devices too. Would it be bad to keep the terrain enabled with the vertices drawing disabled to render grass over the mesh terrain. If yes, should I try a simple cutout shader on a quad and paint the prefab on the terrain mesh and using built in GPU instancing

Or maybe instead of using a quad, I could use a custom mesh with a few extra verts to decrease overdraw

And what's the most performant transparency for this purpose

[sleek eagle]

For grass, it's almost always faster to render the grass with 3-4 triangles with manual rendering.

For terrain, I think it adds some draw calls to do the vertex optimization. When using a mesh with LODs this can be faster.

Acerola has great videos on grass, check out his playlist :P

Greetings,
I was trying to create a new android build for my project and it fails with the following exception

Execution failed for task ':launcher:compressReleaseAssets'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CompressAssetsWorkAction
   > Required array size too large

My previous build was 2,37gb in a single apk file that worked. I know there used to be a 2gb restriction but as that worked I thought this restriction would have been lifted.
The build is not for the google play store.

I've tried to read up on that matter, but there aren't much information. Other people had single assets which were bigger than 2gb that caused that problem. But I don't have a single large file. I have lots of small files.
I can't/don't want to compress the content any further than it already is.

If someone has a Idea I would really appreciate it.

Kind regards.

What distribution portals are people using to get builds into testers hands? In particular how people are handling feature branch building. I've previously used AppCenter but it is being retired in March so am looking for an alternative. I'm trying out Firebase Distribution but don't see a solution for how to handle feature builds (where my build system, Jenkins, starts the build numbering again from 1) as it doesn't allow the same build number to be reuploaded (even if it is a different build)

[brazen birch]

Im hoping to look into this in January, right now we use the official Google play testing and Apple testing. We did use app center for a long time but it just confused our clients

Hi, I want to add a google play authentication to unity, which requires client secret, except google play doesn't create a secret for games and now I'm stuck on what to do

[tired lily]

use a web application credential

[urban barn]

I can't change it, it's bound to Google Play listing

[tired lily]

yes you can, you can create whatever credentials you want in the associated google cloud project

if you're using some third party (UGS? Firebase?), you need to use the web server credential and configure using the client secret from that
https://developer.android.com/games/pgs/console/setup#game-server

[urban barn]

Except the google play console automatically assigned one which I cannot change and is bound to it, if I create another one, my achievements, leaderboards, etc. Won't work

[tired lily]

? you can change it, you can delete it, you can add more credentials. What are you looking at?

you just need another credential for whatever third party api is authenticating your sign in

Play games services > setup and management > configuration > add credential, click game server, set your oauth client id, done

you lose your achievements and stuff only if you delete the play games services project itself

[trim tree]

Hi, do we have command for adb logcat to show line of code and filename where the log/error executed? I find it hard to believe such tool omits useful info. It just spits out log/error messages yet does not show the line of code where it happened.

Or, I'd rather get logs from the editor console itself after running the build to the connected phone. But I somehow forgot how to do this and I get nothing from it.

[tired lily]

are you looking at dev builds? there's an option in player settings to include stack trace. For the editor, install logcat package and connect to your device when it's running a dev build

[trim tree]

Yep, dev build checked/enabled in the build settings. My stack trace settings look like this:

Do I need to check all of them as full?

[tired lily]

did you try connecting the editor console to the app instead of logcat? you should be seeing stack traces

[trim tree]

Yea, seems like my editor has been acting up even after restarting. It connects but disconnects immediately. This happened before, but I lucked through it after a day.

[limber crown]

can someone help me with this error. trying it for 3h now to remove it

[limber crown]

Please I cant uplad my game if I dont fix that

[brazen birch]

There are a lot of ways in fix this. The laziest / quickest will be to install an editor with the defaults for the android runtime. I'm assuming you haven't overridden the android configuration? In which case, assuming you are using say Unity 2022.3.7, I'd suggest upgrading to only 2022.3.8. Some really minor revision. That way you reduce the risk of something breaking. (Back it up, use source control, just in case of course)

The long answer would be to manually install ADB and gradle and make sure they are the correct versions. But usually unity bundles those with it, and it's just easier for new users to version update.

It's wise to update to the latest LTS, but riskier than a very minor bump.

Their android support has been pretty bad over the last 3 years or so.

[limber crown]

thanks I will try it

[limber crown]

How can I install an editor with the defaults?

[urban barn]

but I'm developing only for android, wouldn't that create some sort of issue?

[brazen birch]

Yup that's it, usually all you need to do. If it doesn't work after that wr can take a peek at your config files

[limber crown]

which config files?

[limber crown]

no it doesent work

[brazen birch]

Once it's installed, if it doesn't work right, I'd take a peek at Edit > Prefences and see what the android build paths are set too. They should be checked and say automatic.

Doing it from memory though so it might not be exactly that

[tired lily]

where you using the secret key?

[urban barn]

unity cloud for authentication

[tired lily]

so a server will be authenticating the sign in credentials. You need a server credential to do that

[ember jetty]

My Unity games does not recognised as a game on my Android mobile.

The Android have a game booster which gets activated when playing any game. But it does not gets activated for my Unity game.

I have modified manifest file and placed game in a category but still it does not work.

My game is also published on play store and it also does not work.

How can I make my game categorised as a game?

[young hill]

can anyone help with getting my unity game to run on the android studio emulator? i tried various things, such as exporting the apk (i got INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS) and exporting it to a project which is just giving me "unavailable on device." all im looking for is a way I can have my game run on the android studio emulator, nothing more. i also have no idea what an sdk or jdk is so if anyone knows how to set them up (i already downloaded android 15.0 api level 35), both within android studio and within unity. i also haven't set up a keystore but i am not looking to publish this app anywhere so would that be a problem? thanks in advance to anyone who can help me in any way

if any other information is needed please feel free to ask

[limber crown]

I have a simillar problem

[quick panther]

Can anyone confirm if using this: https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/PlayerSettings.Android-optimizedFramePacing.html
Creates build issues. I used it in a script and my project stopped building, and it was giving out no errors at all. After banging my head for hours, I realised it was this. Maybe it's not a bug at all and I can't modify this in builds cause it's a part of project settings. Just need assurance. Thanks

[raven edge]

i get this error when am trying to build my game

"DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'D:\Unity\GitHubProjects\xxxxxx\Library\Bee\Android\Prj\IL2CPP\Gradle\launcher\build\outputs\apk\release\launcher-release.apk'. "

am using unity 6000.0.28f1.

[twin flare]

bro why Unity use c drive space

give me solution

[raven edge]

you can change the install location in unity hub for unity versions , and change the location for project when creating a new project , or you can manually change the location and use "Add" in the unity hub to add the location of the project

[brazen birch]

Point it at a different drive.

Even if you don't want to reconfigure the install location, you can move any folder you want to another drive and just symlink it. mklink /d folder destination . And it will let you keep the old folder structure valid with the content on another drive.

I encourage doing that at the very least with the AssetStore in roaming, as well as the Editor folder, if you can. Both will constantly grow.

Hello, I'm setting prices for my IAP and subscriptions on appstore and google play. I set the base price in US and let the stores automatically convert the prices. The prices are different between the stores (google play more expensive) and the prices changes each day.The app is using localizedPrice so that the price displays the cost based on the country-downside is that I'm charging the user different prices each day other than the based price in US which stays the same. How should I be setting the prices in the stores so that it doesn't change each day?

I developed the game on the 2023 version but I faced with gradle error, so I changed version of unity to 2021 and now I am facing with this error

[fallen compass]

You need to click each error, read the stack trace and find the actual useful bit of information why the build failed

then google that to hopefully find a fix

[clear sandal]

I checked it, and I think that reason of that error is Ndk

But I am using default ndk

I put ndk of the version 2023 it did not work again

Actually ndk of version 2023 did not for 2021

So it did not work

[fallen compass]

seems like you're just pissing about trying random things that you think up, rather than have found the actual problem and google that

I'd undo everything, go back to 2023 and fix the gradle error

well, update to Unity 6.. as 2023 is no longer supported and 6 is the 2023 LTS renamed

[clear sandal]

I've faced gradle error for 6 months

But I could not solve it

But sometimes I did not face gradle error

[fallen compass]

Gradle is a fucking pain in the arse

[clear sandal]

Yeah

I faced with gradle error on unity6 too

At the end I want to try 2021lts version and now burst error appears

[fallen compass]

the burst isn't relevant usually

read the stack trace for the bottom two

Just published an iOS game, my first. I wanted to run through the process of publishing and monetizing using LevelPlay. OMG. LevelPlay is convoluted. I managed to get IronSource Ads working but can't seem to figure out how to get UnityAds running. I have integrated the Ads, updated my info.plist as the cloud dashboard suggests (it still shows the plist is not correct even though it's updated) and still nothing. Anyone have any insight on LevelPlay monetization?

[neon ibex]

Hey I have a problem emitting socket events from iOS.
on Mac/Windows the events are being emitted just fine, but when I test on iOS it wont send anything. even though I can see the socket is successfully connected to the server (no errors on the client or server)

anyone have a clue?

My socket class https://codeshare.io/ON6Jz0

[lapis umbra]

idk how relevant this is but https://github.com/itisnajim/SocketIOUnity/issues/36

[neon ibex]

it's not ):
there weird thing is that i mannage to connect to the server and stay connected, but for some reasons i cant send/receive events...

[lapis umbra]

oh so does connect just no messages?
hmm See if you can log the iOS running instance, idk if you need xCode to do so , I dont work on iOS surely you might get some error or something if you capture the app

[neon ibex]

exactly, and that's the weird thing, i have no errors on xCode, I can see my log before emitting the message but no error after

https://github.com/itisnajim/SocketIOUnity/issues/95
seem like someone have the same issue 7h ago haha

ah this goes through some type Node/Js server webcall ? I wonder if it is indeed a CORS issue or something like that

The game is build on an Android 13 device and it works really fine but sadly for Android 14 the application crash at start and this message is shown in the logcat ;
Attempt to load writable dex file: /data/user/0/defaultCompagny/cache/app_resources_lib.jar

I'm using Unity 2022.3.41 LTS
Can someone help me understand this one please ?? (I can provide more informations on plugins, etc if needed)

[rapid cliff]

Hi, quick question, I am working on a mobile app for a project and I'm having a problem with the UI, I cant click on the buttons, is there something I should have done to make them work? Or should I just recheck what I did and see if I broke it along the way?
Note: I am also working in an XR environment so maybe something to do with a script that instantiates a prefab on a screen press?

[rapid cliff]

(Did a quick check with the "Highlighted / Pressed" colors and it doesnt even see the button)

[urban moon]

Hello,I’m new to unity and I’ve done the junior programmer pathway and I’d like to go further because I feel like I didn’t learn that much and especially into mobile game,coudo you please tell me if there’s a such pathway or course

[sacred creek]

Quite sure there is no easy way. Why are you unable to update?

[cursive roost]

is there anyway to find out the player forcibly quit your application on android ???

OnApplicationQuit() doesn't work

[pulsar isle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnApplicationQuit.html

Read the parts about mobile platforms. It would help if you explained what you need that function for. Read the "Warning" section on that page.

[jovial canopy]

Heyy

[urban moon]

hey ^^

[jovial canopy]

Hii

Install new API level

[urban moon]

I have solved the issue already by increasing the minimum api level, android 6 to android 7. Which seem to be necessary now for firebase, play games... My target sdk is already latest - 35.

[jovial canopy]

Correct

[hollow kettle]

Hi

[flint coral]

It is a AAA mobile project and the project is too close of the launch. Update unity brings a lot of compatibility risks.

[sacred creek]

Makes sense.

[hollow plaza]

does anyone know why android NDK didn't install when installing 6000.0.32f1?

[odd arrow]

See logs for exact reason. To minimize conflicts during install follow this checklist when !install

[grand wind]

When Unity fails to install checklist

• Make sure you have enough space including on C: drive.
• Check that it's not being blocked by antivirus/security programs.
• Look through the logs for a real reason why the setup fails they are pinned [here](#💻┃unity-talk message).

If you still have issues, perform a clean install in another location:

• Install the Hub and Unity in a non-system drive or a clean new folder in the root of C: drive.
• Failing that use the recovery Refresh option or reinstall OS entirely then repeat the previous step.

[peak tartan]

I'm on unity version 6000.0.28f and gradle fails, I searched for videos and more and didn't find a solution, I think iron source also fails, it's kind of complicated to explain but when I build the project it gets stuck loading a scene, I attached a photo there, and something about android dependencies appears (it doesn't load the image correctly but it did before, I attached an error there) and I can't build my project, I implemented ads in the game and they don't work either because of the gradle failure, what solutions are there? I asked and searched on redit, reinstalled and tried with other versions, deleted and even created new projects and nothing. I think the error is in the gradle generation, the resolver forcing files and more doesn't work either, I've seriously been struggling with this for a month and I don't know what to do

[peak tartan]

this is the error

[odd arrow]

Please don't ping people not in conversation with you.
But I've never encountered this problem and I would start with updating everything, making sure your C++ dependencies installed properly and starting debugging with empty project incrementally finding out what fails.

[peak tartan]

sorry

😦

[alpine grail]

anyone know why when asking for the localized price from the app store via "m_StoreController.products.WithID(IAP2.Id).metadata.localizedPrice.ToString();" results in getting USD 0.01 one on scene and getting the correct price in another?

same code used in both scenes to initialize IAP stuff and get the price, but one scene gets the correct price and the other fails

[alpine grail]

null reference exception when on an actual mobile device, 0.01 pricing in the editor despite it working in the previous scene on all platforms

is it possibly because ive already initialized the m_store controller stuff and i dont need to again?

[jovial canopy]

I know the solution

What is the solution

Update the editor, 2022.3.8f1 is 47 versions behind the most recent. That should be fixed in the newer versions.

So I need to switch my project to a different unity version?

[analog plover]

Yes

[atomic quarry]

:/ i had issues when i tried that last time but guess if theres no other way to fix it then ill try again

[atomic quarry]

Which one should i go with besides unity 6

[analog plover]

The latest 2022.3

[atomic quarry]

This is the latest i see besides unity 6

[analog plover]

That's 2023

[atomic quarry]

will lat one work or the other?

[analog plover]

The latest 2022.3. If you're far into making the game then it's better to stay on the same version. Don't use 2023, it was renamed to 6 so the latest versions of that are on the Unity 6 tab. And use the Hub to install the editor, it'll automatically suggest the latest version and you can install the Android packages at the same time

[atomic quarry]

gotcha thankyou!

i got 2022.355f1

[atomic quarry]

Is this normal to see?

[young ginkgo]

yeah if you change editor version

you have an higher saved veriosn then the one you want to launch with

[cedar dagger]

I’ve installed the four LTS editors (2021,2022 and two Unity 6 versions ) . Anytime I want to build for android it shows the same error.” Gradle failed, check console for details “). The only editor that I’ve ever used to build for android successfully is Unity 2023 which doesn’t have an LTS version. I’m trying to make an android game right now but I have no way to build. For all the previous editors, though I installed them through Unity hub,I still try to manually add the modules but to no avail. Please is there any Unity 6 editor that has a functional android module component? I have Unity 6000.0.27f1 installed

[analog plover]

You'll have to check the console to see the more detailed error message

[atomic quarry]

So when making a build for mobile game I know how to put the game on my phone, but how would someone that is playtesting useing the build file and put the game on their phone to test?

[neon thicket]

It depends on your platform.

For Android, you can send the APK directly to someone and they can download/install it provided they've set their phone into developer mode and have allowed third party installs. Otherwise, the proper way would be to use the internal testing track on the Google Playstore app itself.

For iOS, you use Testflight.

Note that for Android, there's now a minimum tester requirement of 12 devices before you can release the app publically.

[atomic quarry]

Okay So i dont have to play for the developer mode ?

[neon thicket]

I don't know what that question means

[atomic quarry]

Someone else told me I needed a developer account that allows you to upload games to that OS, and I heard that cost money

Whats the app called for android?

[neon thicket]

You have to pay for both an Google Play developer account (one time) and for an Apple developer account (annual).

[atomic quarry]

thankyou

[pearl marlin]

I also recommend firebase app distribution for easy android and iOS testing

[rapid cliff]

Hello, I would like to add a text box input in my mobile project.
My current plan is:
You click inside the prompt box to start writing -> phone keyboard pops up (I'd rather not implement a separate app keyboard if possible) -> introduce text -> On "Enter" or UI button press start a function with the text from the box

I think the "call function" part can be done with OnEndEdit from the input box but Im having a bit of trouble finding how to get the keyboard.
(Im currently working on pc so I'm not sure if I even have to call for it or it automatically pops out when I touch a text prompt)

It does pop up automatically

[raven cloud]

would anyone know how to fix getting 'Type Mismatch' whenever i drag a GameObject from a prefab to this in the inspector? ive tried just having this game object in the scene but im getting the same error.

[raven cloud]

it only happens with lists, anything else works

[brazen birch]

Usually that happens if the list is expecting a certain type not on that game object.

I.e. if it is a List<RigidBody> but you are dragging in a <GameObject> that doesn't have it.

Can you share the code for the declaration of the List?

[raven cloud]

it just randomly started working, but thanks anyway 🤷‍♂️

Title: Scene Appears Completely Black on Android Build Despite Correct UI Rendering in Unity Editor

Description: I have encountered an issue where my game's scene appears completely black when built for Android, even though the UI elements are present. In the Unity Editor, everything renders correctly. Notably, my scene does not contain any 3D objects or lights, only UI elements. Previously, I was able to build for Android without any problems, even without adding a camera to the scene. However, now the entire screen is black on Android devices.

Steps Taken:

Verified that the UI elements are correctly set up and active in the scene.

Checked Player Settings to ensure that Graphics API and other relevant settings are properly configured.

Attempted to add a camera to the scene and adjust its settings, but the issue persists.

Verified that the Canvas settings are correct and that the Render Mode is set to "Screen Space - Overlay."

Questions:

What could be causing the scene to render as completely black on Android when there are no 3D elements or lights, only UI?

Are there any additional settings or configurations that I should check to resolve this issue?

Could this be related to changes in Unity's handling of UI rendering in recent versions?

Thank you for your assistance!

Well, I built it for Windows and everything worked fine

What is the problem that everything is black in Android?

What could be the cause of this ANR? (Android)
I am using Unity 2021.3.29f1 and I am getting this ANR nonstop.

[chilly summit]

Can someone help me with something? I made movement buttons for mobile and the Player even walks, but it doesn't do the animation, but when I leave the game on and change something in the script and finish compiling, the player starts doing the animation out of nowhere.

and when I stop the game and play it again it stops doing the animation

Unless the stack is useful you basically cannot know. Do you have ads?

Hi all I am building a game for my goole pixel pro 7. I am using unity 2022.3.44f I have it hooked up via USB and testing and it works fine, but when I build it, The left right joystick movement is not working and also the projectiles do not move either. The enemy ships fire the projectiles and they just appear static as do the players projectiles. Any ideas why?

[cedar dagger]

I have this error. Whenever I start building, after about 20 seconds the build fails for no reason any ideas on how to fix it? I’m using Unity 6000.0.27f1

[pearl marlin]

actually read the error to find why. If it got far enough there will be the gradle error.

and dont use ur phone take a screenshot or use sharex to record your screen...

[pearl marlin]

have you checked for runtime errors? if you built the app as a dev build you can see console logs in the editor (or use the android logcat package for unity logs and other app related lots)

[mint gull]

@pearl marlin I have not mate I shall

[pearl marlin]

very important first step 😐

[mint gull]

I only got this from the build in the console.

@pearl marlin I never sent a video by the way mate that was someone else

[pearl marlin]

ops mb 😆

reply it helps keep the chain

While the app is open, the "Editor" dropdown in the console lets you change it to view the android build logs

via USB or wifi if on the same network

[mint gull]

Ok Ill look at that. Via USB

[pearl marlin]

It should show in the popup, if not enable usb debugging on the device

android logcat is better to use if the app crashes as it will let you see the crash dump info (gravestone)

[mint gull]

I can connet np mate thats not the issue, the issue is the build. Via the USB the game works fine on my phone. but When I build and run the game I cant move the ploayer or the projectiles dont move

[pearl marlin]

Then you need to figure out why, i was merely helping you check for runtime errors that could explain why.

e.g. error breaking stuff that only happens on device

[mint gull]

@pearl marlin Will do. I just made a new project for mobile and installed all the neccesary apk for android and selected my phones version. So i assumed this would work straight out of the box, my game is a very simple game as its my first game on mobile. Appreciate the help mate

[pearl marlin]

np, hopefully its something simple that you can correct quickly 👍

[mint gull]

I defo think it has something to do with the build settings. But I will go through it.

[cedar dagger]

That’s the issue ,there are no errors, it just says build failed and then scripts automatically recompiles and the build failed error disappears

Must be an editor bug cause I’ve built the project once before and it worked

[grim crest]

Hey everyone, im currently on a problem and haven't found a solution to it by now. Im making a 2d android idle game prototype, my whole UI stuff is inside a UI Canvas set to follow the camera and scale with it, everything works absolutely fine. Now I also have some sprites outside that canvas so its not following the cam and stays rigid. Im not able to make any buttons or interaction based stuff on/inside those sprites, I tried adding UI->Button and also a Sprite with attached button
None fires

I tried adding a second canvas in Screen Space Overlay mode but with that the buttons etc are still attached to the camera and the canvas is like 500x sized to the actual cam and cannot be resized

Hope someone understands my problem and can help me :)

Can’t believe line 4 was the little rascal 😞 the build was successful after removing it

[pearl marlin]

Ha yea if code cannot compile for a platform it fails early on but it the error should stay in the console

[vast stirrup]

If you remember, I had a problem when I was building for Android. The scene was completely black!!!
Now, after checking everything, I realized that the problem is with the localization package, and when I deleted it, the scene was no longer black. I myself feel that the tables I created are very heavy, and the init takes a long time, and the scene will not load until it is inited! !
What do you think? What should I do to solve this problem?

[arctic marlin]

I have a very weird bug.
A "StartCoroutine" with a IEnumerator doesn't seem to work on a specific phone only on the .aab build of google play
(the .apk version without google play does work!).

This build works for my phone and for the phone from my sister to download my game and play it via google play internal testing.

But the A54 phone from my mother doesn't. I tried to connect it with a USB-Cable to my PC but it doesn't want to stay connected, even after I enabled USB debugging together with the developer mode and I installed Unity Remote.

What seems to work are installing .apk on the phone from my mother but downloading my game from google play doesn't let one specific IEnumerator work I guess, because I made 2 test images that get enabled if a the specific if statement get reached, but only 1 of my 2 imaged got enabled on the aab. in google play, on the A54 from my mother, but it works on my phone and the one my sister have. we get both images enabled.

https://paste.ofcode.org/eg4Bvu7isw792y3umNqL9N

I also tried by the way to upgrade this version of unity "6000.0.24" to the latest "6000.0.32" but it did not changed anything.

[iron acorn]

This seems more and more like a timing issue, seeing how it's related to starting a coroutine.
Just to make it clear: there's no way start coroutine wouldn't work.

As I mentioned many times so far, you should be looking at the console and/or using a debugger.

[arctic marlin]

I cant connect the A54 to my computer it just dont want to connect, even with Unity remote installed Developer Mode enabled and USB debuggung enabled.

Not sure if "AntiAutoChangeFor_IsOn == false" is the issue bcs the apk file still works on the A54 and the .aab file work still on my phone and the one from my sister.

If this would be a timing issue, why does the .apk still work 100% perfect on the A54?

[iron acorn]

Also I'd recommend using the bon string variant of starting a coroutine. Check the docs.

[iron acorn]

Because apk might structure the native code slightly differently affecting timing related issues.

[iron acorn]

Unity remote is unrelated here. It wouldn't help you in any way, as it runs the game on the PC.

[iron acorn]

You should start from looking at the console log of the device.

[arctic marlin]

I am not able to connect the A54 device to my PC to use Android Logcat.
so my only option is guessing what can causing it and making stuff in the code to see when an image appears with I did with the: _testGameObjectToApear1 and _testGameObjectToApear2.

When I made this script, I made a:

 private bool AntiAutoChangeFor_IsOn = true;
    private IEnumerator VerzoegertesAusfuehren()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(0.3f);
        AntiAutoChangeFor_IsOn = false;
    }

Because the toggle was always getting clicked by unity itself for no reason, when it was enabled this caused it to play the snd_ButtonClick audio and disabling the toggle.
When it was disabled it doesn't enables itself on, it only turns itself off for no reason.
This AntiAutoChangeFor_IsOn was giving it enough time to initialize everything and giving Unity not the possibility to enable the toggle by itself because after 0.3s unity was finished with all the initializations.

Anyway, even if I don't have this if statement to avoid Unity changing its state, I am still able to toggle it On and enter the game with the enabled state, even if it is very annoying that unity always switch the state without my permission.

[iron acorn]

Then you should focus on getting your phone connected to the PC. How are you even confirming it? Are you using logcat? Does it not connect to the device?

[arctic marlin]

I uploaded the .aab to google play and the A54 phone from my mother is in the Google Play-InternalTesting Whitelist. So she can get an update but I also tried unstalling and downloading it (did not changed anything).

I sended her the .apk file on whatsapp and it worked. So I know its something realated with the .aab but only specificly to her A54 because my phone and the phone of my sister can handle the google play .aab

[iron acorn]

So you didn't even try connecting the phone to your PC via a cable/Bluetooth/wifi??

[arctic marlin]

I tried but it's connecting and disconnecting. not even charging the phone from my USB 3 port. I tried another cable but it did not worked either...

[iron acorn]

If changing cables doesn't work, it's either the port on your PC or the phone. You could connect the debugger/logcat via Bluetooth or wifi iirc.

[arctic marlin]

I can connect my phone with no issues to my PC on the same port with the same cables.
But my phone works 100% perfectly with the .apk and with with .aab over google play

[iron acorn]

Then it's an issue with the phone port. Try other methods.

[arctic marlin]

The other method is to guess where this timing issue could be from?
I tried all the possibilitys to connect the phone with no success. so I only can test the games by sending the download link to my internal google play testing.

I tried adding an Image as gameobject and if it gets enabled, it means for me it reached the code and I found out that if 2 images one in the beginning of the TogglePressed Event and one inside of that AntiAutoChange if statement and only the image got enabled that was outside of the if statement.

So I guess it must be the AntiAutoChangeFor_InOn Boolean that doesn't get changed to false:

    public void HardcoreMode_TogglePRESSED()
    {
        _testGameObjectToApear1.SetActive(true); //THIS DOES enable a image in the UI to see if this line of code was reached.
        
        if (AntiAutoChangeFor_IsOn == false)
        {
            _testGameObjectToApear2.SetActive(true); //THIS DOES enable a second image in the UI to see if this line of code was reached.

         ...

("_testGameObjectToApear1" was enabled but "_testGameObjectToApear2" was not.)

[iron acorn]

I can't really help you without you doing proper debugging. And I wouldn't recommend you do it either. Focus on setting up an environment where you can use the debugging tools. Otherwise you're just fumbling in the dark.

Check the documentation on the logcat. It provides several ways to connect your device:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.mobile.android-logcat@1.4/manual/connect-to-a-device.html#:~:text=Connect wirelessly&text=Open the Android Logcat window.,IP address and select Connect.

[arctic marlin]

I will try it on monday, but for now I can't confiscate her phone again for testing.

[iron acorn]

From just looking at the code, there's a lot of timing dependency. If something is not being initialized in due time you might get a null reference error and the code would now execute. You can't see that without using debugging tools(at the very least the logcat). So get your debugging environment set up and working first.

[arctic marlin]

is it only the AntiAutoChangeFor_IsOn or did you see something else too?

[iron acorn]

Saving and loading is timing sensitive. I don't know how you have it implemented, so I can't say much. Same with coroutines. Using hardcoded values as waiting times is a pretty bad practice. It could lead to different behaviour in different environments.

[past turret]

Yes I have ads.
I am using Google Admob plugin.

[pearl marlin]

Its often wise to wait 0.5-1 seconds after an ad closes (before doing anything major) to ensure the main activity is fully awake again.
You can check this page for help debugging unity android ANRS https://developer.android.com/games/engines/unity/unity-anrs-list

[past turret]

would stopping the user from clicking anything after an ad ends solve it?
like a loading panel or something...

[pearl marlin]

Yea having some full screen blocker can help ensure the activity is fully resumed. From my experience ads are often the cause of many crashes and ANRs.

[past turret]

Alright Thanks, I'll try that.

[gaunt venture]

Can anybody help me solve the error: "Failed to update Android SDK package list" in Unity ver2022.3.55f1...its been very annoying getting the same error everytime trying to build the project....

I did everything downloading the SDK from Android Studio, to reinstalling different versions of Unity with Android Modules but I am unable to solve the issue. of failed update Android SDK Package List.

[misty stirrup]

Could be an issue with your access rights 🤔 Unity will try to call sdkmanager.bat to retrieve the list and install the correct SDK version for your target API level.

[gaunt venture]

It isnt able to Update API level...everytime I click on Update API it flickers on PowerShell muliple times then shows error unable to update API

[grim crest]

Bump

[dusky eagle]

guys is anyone here have upload a game at playstore with the new term that need tester?

[past turret]

Hello!
What causes these crashes and how can I solve these?
Android APK.

[iron acorn]

That's how screen space canvas works. It's displayed in unit per pixel scale in the scene view.

[grim crest]

But how can i use gameobjects outside that canvas as a button and run a script

Like I have a room and a table inside and want to click the table to upgrade it

[iron acorn]

If these are not ui objects, then you'd use raycasts and input queries to determine a click on these objects.

[grim crest]

Finally something i can work with, i will look that up. thank you!

[sleek eagle]

Not without more data
Updating Unity usually is a good start, but other than that we cannot know anything without more info

[ancient badger]

How's Unity 6 performance for mobile (Android) compared to prior Unity version? Are there any improvements or pretty much the same?

[north thunder]

its depend what you are creating.

[ancient badger]

Cartoon-style 3D mobile game, like an endless runner for example

[north thunder]

Well as per my experience if you are planning to run game on old devices then you chose any version of unity.

Because the feature like GPU Culling in unity 6 based on compute. which most of the low and mid devices does not support.

[ancient badger]

Is it recommended to use Unity 6 for all new projects?

[north thunder]

you can use it. They added few good new features in unity 6.

[sleek eagle]

I found it quite good, especially when using render graph, which improves memory usage

[north thunder]

Yeah! this is good feature.

[prisma plinth]

Why are some icons black squares inside android builds, but others aren't?

the only difference I can find between them, is that the broken ones are either RGBA8 sRGB or RGBA Compressed ETC2 sRGB, but the working ones are only RGBA Compressed ETC2 sRGB

also I guess the working ones are of resolutions that are NOT multiples of 4, curiously enough

but I'm not sure to what degree either of those are a coincidence

all of them have the following importer settings:

none have android specific overrides

I'm using built-in render pipeline

[prisma plinth]

so far this is the only thing that differentiates one from the other...

[iron acorn]

Are you loading any of them at runtime with Resources or something?

[prisma plinth]

I mean, I guess technically the root prefab that holds the scriptableobject that holds the prefabs IS loaded through resources, but the images themselves are just assigned inside said prefabs as normal

Should I put them into a resource folder, to fix the issue? Some that work, aren't inside a resource folder which is what's making this a weird solution

[frank kelp]

is this

actually better than just this one-liner?

[finite terrace]

I'm trying to get mobile ads working. I imported the Legacy Ads module. It's stating that Mediation (which I think is a separate package) is requiring the Mobile Dependencies package (although the documentation for the Legacy Ads indicates it's a dependency too). The thing is, I think it's stuck.

It's been at 0% for several minutes, and there's a Win32 exception in my console.

I've tried closing the window, but it just pops up a little later and stays stuck.

[finite terrace]

Ah, never mind, they fixed it for me in the #💻┃unity-talk forum despite telling me to come here. 😄

[pearl marlin]

was about to say, why are you using the legacy ads module 😐

Usually now we use LevelPlay (ironsource) or unity ads/admob/applovin direct

[prisma plinth]

any help with this? please...

[pearl marlin]

to confirm, you have it on auto format for these? i would expect ect2 to work always. What device is this, is it old?

Unity state that etc2 support is partial: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/texture-formats-reference.html

[prisma plinth]

not a particularly old device, anything from android 11 to 13 had those issues, although they seem to have solved themselves now... not really sure how, and it WAS on builds made by my teammates as well, but I guess it's gone... for now

[cedar fox]

im starting to dive into a mobile game, and im having trouble with getting my phone to show the editor. I have the project settings set up for any android device, I downloaded the unity remove app on my phone, and I have it plugged in (usbc-usbc). When I click play though, the unity remote app stays and I can only see the editor on my PC, any help ?

oh yea i also have the usb debug option on my phone from developer settings and Im starting to use Unity6

[cedar fox]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65642880/commandinvokationfailure-unity-remote-requirements-check-failed/66345155#66345155

Found the answer, there was an error message I didnt see !

anyways, im trying to figure out how to move a player based off the position of the touch on the phone screen. Got a question though, because screen space is defined in pixels, I HAVE to use a raycast to figure out the position of where in the world its positioned right ? Cuz I can't use transform.position(touch.x, touch.y (//idk if this is exact just a point)), since if I touch on the extremes (2000pixels, 2000pixels), the player object would go way off screen

[pearl marlin]

you convert from screen to world position if you want the world pos for a touch.
If you want to raycast from a touch you can use ScreenPointToRay()

[wraith charm]

Hello guys. Im needing some help here. I've got Unity 6 installed but i guess the android sdk that comes with it is incompatible.

So, i've downloaded android studio, the sdk manager

downloaded all the sdks

put in a separate folder, i try to browse

and nothing, unity doesnt recognize the sdkmanager file it's trying to locate

also tried installing the new cmdline-tools from the android site, and nothing also

I really need to get an App updated and this kind of problem are so frustrating

[fallen compass]

There's nothing wrong with the android dk's that come with Unity 6

[wraith charm]

then how come everything is outdated?

[fallen compass]

outdated and incompatible aren't the same thing

What is shipped with Unity is whatever is included, it doesn't change until they include a newer version in a release. You can use what is included with Unity

Building Android with Unity 6.0.31 right now

[wraith charm]

sure, im not arguing the semantics.

then how?

[fallen compass]

Looks like you either didn't install the android module (or all of it) via the hub, or something went wrong during installation

[wraith charm]

i did install the android module, what do you mean?

I'm installing another version of unity 6, lets see

[pearl marlin]

Isn't the included android SDK a separate option? Make sure it's ticked too if using hub to install.

[rigid frost]

is it only possible to build over USB for Android builds or could I do it over any alternative means? I have a short-ish USB cord is why i'm asking

[iron acorn]

Should be able to connect via a local network(wifi)

[rigid frost]

Very ebic 👍

[hallow pasture]

Suddenly it becomes happening when I'm trying build 😭

[hallow pasture]

It's happening even a new blanked project using diferent unity recently installed versions

[pearl marlin]

are you using the included java + android sdk or your own?

[hallow pasture]

no it's a brand new unity installation with a new project also, if I open a old working projects it happening also

[pearl marlin]

yea but did you include this stuff when you installed android support:

you need to also check the errors more carefully the main gradle one will have a lot more information in it

[hallow pasture]

yes are installed

was working yesterday, just stop after windows reboot

[pearl marlin]

go check for more info then in the gradle error (click log to see all its text)
you didnt upgrade unity version between then and now?

[hallow pasture]

there are 3 errors, this is the first one:

third error:

I did everything possible in all forums in google search result nothing fix it

recently installed the last unity version with a new brand project from scratch, the errors persists 😭

[pearl marlin]

I think it ran out of memory due, perhaps from this
-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx128m

do you have a custom manifest or launcher template thats outdated?

[hallow pasture]

i was chaged yet to 4096 and 8192 also, still hapenning

btw in a empty project it's not make a sense!

it's crazy

😭

[pearl marlin]

err if AMPLITUDE_API_KEY stuff is something important you should create new keys, the text above included all your env vars... @hallow pasture

[hallow pasture]

i've tried it yet

i've tried use an old keystore file and a new one

I've tried build with no keystore also

I was open another working projects too

not works

[open bolt]

if you have google play app signing enabled, is it possible to make local test builds that connect to the play store? Or do you have to upload it every time to test things

[hallow pasture]

only local, btw it's happening in a new project also, it's not about playstore or unity, cause all versions that I'm testing with a new projects it's happening

[open bolt]

sorry, my thing was a new question unrelated to your stuff

[hallow pasture]

with custom keystore or without it

one day everything was fine, I just reboot my windows and it's happening for all projects

[open bolt]

maybe your computer's ram is messed up

[hallow pasture]

suddenly nothing was changed in project, unity config or installation

[open bolt]

maybe run memtest?

or possibly did a hard drive fill up?

and your pagefile is too full to run?

[hallow pasture]

so now if I'm commit my old projects it happening in other computers too, but only for projects commited by me, the other projects is ok in other computher

seems like a virus lol

it doesn't make a sense

[open bolt]

you said it's on an empty project? It seems like the apk size is too big, maybe

but that seems weird if it's an empty project

[hallow pasture]

yeah

[subtle fiber]

hey guys im really stumped im building my mobile game and i imported firebase everything is working i got it connecting to netcode but now when i go to build my project on my phone im having two main issues.

1- It keeps saying my sdk version is to low so i set the sdk in unity api to 34 seemed to remove the error but its showing duplicate kotin files from firebase.

it wants me to go into my build gradle and block the duplicate files from the firebase library but i cannot find my main build gradle i have like 6
i have them here but idk whats the main one i tried editing the one i thought was and nothing happens

[open bolt]

i seem to recall doing something like that in the past and yeah i just ended up deleting the duplicate folder in firebase somewhere and it eventually worked

which, not super helpful, but it's probably like some sort of library file

[pearl marlin]

I think if signed the same and your account is added as a test account for the game, you will be able to make test purchases via google play.

[open bolt]

hmm i thought that might have been the case, but I'm having trouble getting the actual apk to upload over top of the version downloaded from the play store

[pearl marlin]

if you install via adb you get more information, its probably a signature missmatch

[open bolt]

yeah it is, though it's the same key

[pearl marlin]

you can probably remove the old version and use the new one safely. Or upload it to internal test and use it that way. Now i usually only get dev builds via firebase app distribution which seems to be reliable

[open bolt]

hmm i think when i tried i was getting an error from the play store saying something that I can't seem to find, but maybe i'll try again tomorrow

[chrome haven]

https://linktr.ee/dreamzonesoftware

[open bolt]

oh right what happens is the local build ends up with Google BillingResponseCode = ItemUnavailable when i try to buy an item id from the store

oh right it's something where because this phone has multiple google play accounts installed, it's choosing the wrong one that isn't a tester as default since it's not installed from the app store

[open bolt]

ok so this is technically more of an android issue i think but in case someone has insight:

I have two accounts myAccount and companyAccount both signed in on my phone to google.

myAccount has my real billing and is the default google pay account on the device.

companyAccount is whitelisted for the google play store for an unreleased app.

when downloaded from the play store, companyAccount is correctly associated with the app, and works as expected.

When I make a local apk and directly install it, (i believe) myAccount is used instead, and trying to purchase anything gives an "Google BillingResponseCode = ItemUnavailable "error

Is there a way i can associate companyAccount as the account to use without setting it as the default for the whole phone and/or having to set up real payments on the account?

[open bolt]

an answer, i guess, is to add myAccount as a debug account too, though not an ideal one

[steel crane]

can someone help with building the project on apk format? I have big problems with the hub so I can't do it myself. Ready .unitypackage file

[odd arrow]

@steel crane Don't cross-post and this is a weird request as well. If you want to get help post errors.

[tight sigil]

When i try to build my project for Android, it says three errors:

[analog plover]

The non-ASCII characters in C:\Users\Matyáš cause it to fail. Put the project somewhere that doesn't have special characters in the path

[tight sigil]

thats weird because i have it in C:/Users/Public

[analog plover]

All kinds of libraries etc are installed in the user's home directory. You can see the error points to C:\Users\MatyßÜ\.gradle\caches\ ...

You might need to make a different Windows user that doesn't have special characters in the username

[pearl marlin]

that would be lame as id expect any semi recent compiler to not have such a flaw

[brazen birch]

Yeah but Unity likes to pretend English is the only language.

It's been a problem for a long time (not entirely unitys fault, but their cross lang has always been rough). You can move that folder somewhere and make a symlink in the meantime.

[solid herald]

Hi
I'm setting up autobuild via gitlab for my ios project and encountered a build error in xcode via fastlane

“error: Driver threw unknown argument: '-enable-experimental-feature' without emitting errors. (in target 'VGSLFundamentals' from project 'Pods')”

Has anyone encountered any of these?

Link to fastfile - https://pastebin.com/dLZJQiny

[sacred creek]

Might also be a pods question rather then unity. but maybe someone else encountered this too. Would be a good choice to post this on pods forum too 🙂

[pearl marlin]

Are you using external dependency manager for pod integration? If so and 'VGSLFundamentals' is a pod dependency then may need to check if your xcode is up to date (or if the pod is outdated)

[hallow pasture]

Hi guys, a feedback with my gradle issue, only way yo fix it was formating my OS! 🤦‍♂️

[digital zephyr]

has anyone used firebase for android on unity?

Im having trouble importing package
it imports incomplete package

[tired lily]

what version and what method are you using to import?

I can tell you I'm currently using firebase 11.9.0 (multiple packages) successfully, installed via tar archive: https://developers.google.com/unity/archive

[digital zephyr]

im on the latest version of firebase which is 12.5.0
i tried earlier versions as well

im using import package under assets

[digital zephyr]

with what version of unity?

[tired lily]

6000.0.25f1 and 2022.3.10f1

[digital zephyr]

im using 2022.3.43f1
its not working on this

do i need to change any settings before importing?

[tired lily]

try the other install method, or using the same version of firebase I use. I've seen a couple instances where google released a broken version (app check in our case) that we had to tell them about

[digital zephyr]

after importing im not getting external dependency manager here
i have to reimport all to get that

[digital zephyr]

sure ill give it a try

[tired lily]

install EDM this way too: https://developers.google.com/unity/archive#external_dependency_manager_for_unity use latest in this case

and it needs to be first

[digital zephyr]

ive used 11.6.0 before on older unity version it worked then

but now when i try 11.6.0 it doesnt work with the unity version im using

[digital zephyr]

okk

[tired lily]

you might also want to consider uninstall it all and then wiping library, or at least packagecache

just in case there is some cached thing there stopping things from working

[digital zephyr]

uninstall the editor?

[tired lily]

uninstall firebase packages* I mean

[digital zephyr]

i tried switching to 55f1 as well
wasnt working there too

[tired lily]

I doubt it's editor version, this sounds like a package problem

[digital zephyr]

ok ill try with tgz once too

[orchid fog]

Hello guys. I am making an Android app that uses Google Drive. I am using this package to access Google Drive

https://github.com/elringus/unity-google-drive

It works really well in Editor, but when I try to Upload a text file to Google Drive in my Android Phone, it crashes. What should I do?

Unity 2020.3.30f1

[tired lily]

make a dev build, look at logcat to get more information. Also you're using an ancient unity version; any reason why?

[pearl marlin]

Yea 2020 is too old, use like 2022 at a min but ideally latest you can.@orchid fog
Are you using the google dependency resolver and did you follow all their setup steps?

[orchid fog]

I am using this version because, it is the recommended version of Unity.
I tried the app on another phone and it said it is a very old version. I'll try to use another version of Unity.

[orchid fog]

No i am not using google dependency resolver. I am using Google API and elringus's plugin.

[pearl marlin]

well first step is to start using it as it grealy helps in handling ios and android lib dependencies.
this google drive lib even says they have support for this (as its become standard for mobile libs to support google dep resolver)
https://github.com/googlesamples/unity-jar-resolver

[pearl marlin]

recommended by what? 2020 is too old

[orchid fog]

Recommended by the creator of this plugin. Target version is 2019.4 so the closest i have is 2020.3. But i will update it, you are right. I will try to use this lib and see if it works. Thanks for the help, i'll keep in touch if it doesnt work.

[pearl marlin]

hopefully it still works. for mobile you cant stay on a version too old as you wont be able to target the required android api lvl / iOS ver for the stores and some other issues will arrise using newer plugins.

[sick dove]

Were you able to solve this?

[orchid fog]

I intalled latest version 2023.2.20f1, but now I can't build the app becuse of an error.

[pearl marlin]

you have to read the whole thing to find the real error (if using google dep resolver now look for maven dependency errors). If you have a custom android manifest, launcher template or other similar things you need to re gen them as they will be super outdated.

crusty screenshots dont help send the text next time

And by regen i mean delete/rename old ones. Re gen custom ones and migrate over stuff you want to keep.

[orchid fog]

I created a new project and I just imported the Package that I mentioned earlier. I tried to Import the Google Dep Resolver but i couldnt.

The full error message:

"but i couldnt" err can you explain more?
Check Assets/Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml and update it as it says so nicely in the error msg

like i said, those custom android things may be outdated: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/android-modify-gradle-project-files-methods.html

[formal tinsel]

Hello, I'm having a problem with optimization on the mobile, I tried almost everything, lowered texture quality, changed some mesh collides to box collider, changed some texture to urp unlit, deactivated the shadows but still far from how it looks on the pc

in the pc looks like this, it was with better resolution and runned good before, but had to lower like this

[orchid fog]

I succesfully imported google dep and added android:exported="true" as it said in the article. But I got another error and it is very very long

And other lines like this.

[orchid fog]

I suppose it is outdated like you said. Can I Upload/Load files with this Google Dep package?

[pearl marlin]

the google dependency manager will auto populate stuff in the gradle files for dependency downloading during a build. That google drive API thing includes configuration to work with the dep manager.
The android manifest issues you need to fix manually. If its one included with the google drive API you need to fix it

[orchid fog]

What should I do to fix them. I don't know what are they or hoe to fix

[pearl marlin]

Oh my mistake i didnt see the new error

in the android settings for dependency resolver, is "use jetifier" enabled? @orchid fog
The dep manager should normally prevent duplicate class errors (should remove libraries manually included with a plugin if supported). Do you have any other android plugins added to the project?

[orchid fog]

No i dont have any other plugins other than that i said. Where is the Use Jetifer setting?

@pearl marlin

[pearl marlin]

there is a "Google Dependency Manager" menu somewhere i forget

you can try doing a "force resolve" via that menu too for android to see what changes (i presume you are using source control)

[orchid fog]

Im searching the menu rn. I will tell you when i found it.

[pearl marlin]

when its "resolved" you should see dependencies added to Assets\Plugins\Android\mainTemplate.gradle
You can check this to see if there are somehow 2 versions of androidx.core in this list.

to explain better, duplicate class errors happen when a library gets included more than once which causes this conflict + build error.
It used to be worse years ago when plugins included libraries with themselves but with google dep resolver its better.

[orchid fog]

I searched it in google and i tried to find it myself but i couldnt find it.

[pearl marlin]

~~you can maybe try:

• remove dependency resolver (but g drive lib may be missing dependencies and still crash)
• disable jetifier in g dep resolver android settings (may not fix crash)~~

delete your library and temp folders too, re open project and rebuild after trying something

[orchid fog]

It even crashes without google dep. Maybe I should try another thing because it is a very complicated error. But thank you for your help and kindness.

[pearl marlin]

i couldnt see the dependency the gdrive plugin wanted included so without google dep resolver it wont get added to the build

[sick dove]

When building my game for android I get this error and I have noo idea how to fix it. The error is in the build.gradle file. I have used the Android dependecy resolver. * What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':unityLibrary'.

Project with path 'IronSource.androidlib' could not be found in project ':unityLibrary'. Any idea how I can set the path to find this and where to set it?

[high lintel]

how do i get ipa file from unity because i dont have a mac?

[vale hedge]

hi guys, i have a video save on my server. There are two options: download with audio and download without audio . Is there anyway i can download video with audio then convert it to no audio before save to device or i must split it in 2 file "video_audio.mp4" and "video_without_audio.mp4"

[pearl marlin]

impossible. you require a mac to build the xcode project that unity will create for ios.

[high lintel]

i saw on youtube someone who made a payload or smth made it a zip converted to ipa

[pearl marlin]

well thats a lie: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/iphone-BuildProcess.html
if you dont have a mac usable you can use something like unity cloud builds to build it

[high lintel]

oh

[sacred creek]

is that a terrain or really placed bushed and trees there, letting me guess, your meshes being used are not batched and therefore kicking your draw calls or something. Profiler can help you check, what your numbers are like ram and so on.

[formal tinsel]

It's a terrain, I tried using the profiler while running in the phone, but I can't understand what's causing the bad performance, I even tried using occlusion culling, still low performance. And the track appearing and disappearing as well the leafs and the sky box.

[formal tinsel]

And the trees and bushes, spawn randomly in layer 1 of the terrain when the scene loads.

[formal tinsel]

Also tried running the game in the phone without the trees and bushes, still the sky box and the track appear and disappear

[pearl marlin]

@formal tinsel when you profile is there a large "wait for target fps" block? You want to set the target fps to the screen refresh rate as it will probably default to 30fps. You need to check the tri count, light count and overdraw to properly figure out what causes slowdown (do after changing target fps).

Ideally you are using URP and have a few pixel lights and have little overdraw.

[raven edge]

sorry i didn't see the mention, not sure what was thee problem its either google play games plugin or mobile ads plugin, eventually i just delete both of them with all there files including files in the plugins folder and install them again and then install latest version for external dependency resolver i did install all of them at the same time so not sure what was the real issue , not sure if this will work with you or not , i hope this help

[dawn pasture]

I'm working on a Idle RPG mobile game. How do you guys organize and handle all the different UI screens? Do you have different canvases for everything, is it all in 1 scene, do you use an UI framework, how do you handle switching between screens?

[sleek eagle]

I think one canvas per type of UI is ideal for performance, so Unity can optimize it easier.

So then have 1 for the menu, 1 for the main UI, etc.
Make sure to use texture atlasses to improve rendering a LOT

[novel ermine]

Any solution for this, I installed android support from Unity ARCHIVE page

(Manual)

[pearl marlin]

Its always better to install via unity hub (download archive has a blue button to install via unity hub) as android support + bundled tools are more reliable.
I dont know if the manual android tools installer includes these extras (jdk, android sdk)

[novel ermine]

Installing from Unity hub sucks, it shows validation error at 99%

And I don't have wifi anymore to download it again

[dawn pasture]

is it best practice to have all the UI in 1 scene or multiple scenes?

[neon thicket]

Scene? 🤔 Or canvas

[pearl marlin]

Is google dependency resolver working? I presume some dependency is missing. Check also if proguard rules need updating for firebase auth.

[gray elk]

I have implemented ads to my game and the ads are showing in my unity editor, but when i build it on my phone I am unable to see any ads. My phone is connected to internet and I tried both ways keeping test mode in ads initialization as true and false both, gives same results.

[worthy nacelle]

I already resolve and force resolve using this resolver: https://github.com/googlesamples/unity-jar-resolver

I also reimport the packages which is firebase auth and google 1.0.4, however I still not yet have any knowledge in proguard configuration, where do i access that?

in my unity version (6000) project? sorry im truly beginner in unity and google integration

[pearl marlin]

some libraries needs some proguard rules added. this is done to prevent class stripping. When enabled its in Assets/Plugins/Android/proguard-user.txt

is this because this dependecy is depreciated? https://github.com/googlesamples/google-signin-unity

[cedar fox]

Hi im trying to run a mobile scene, have the unity remote app installed on my phone, have debugging turned on via USB, and changed the project's device settings to Unity Android Device. Ive been able to get it working on a previous test scene but for some reason its not working in this scene. Any advice ?

I forgot to change builds 😅 my bad

[cedar fox]

so after some testing, I was trying to plug in multiple devices and have them both work just not at the same time... since Im only doing multiplayer. Cant find much online, is there a way to get multiple devices to play test a mobile multiplayer game? When I click run, it only works on the first registered connected device

[pearl marlin]

If you are using build and run from unity to install then you can install the built APK on the other devices yourself.
You can use adb on your pc by doing adb install myapk.apk or copy it onto the device and install on there.

[fallen compass]

No advertising in normal chans, delete from here and post in #1180170818983051344

[heady sentinel]

thanks for that

[cedar fox]

I wasnt initially but Im assuming there's no other way? I think Unity JUST added that multiplayer feature that runs different instances of the scenes without having to build it every time, was hoping there was something similar to mobile but maybe not. Ill just try to build it and see then, ty !

[pearl marlin]

I think that's editor only but i havent tried it myself. You can always use emulators and have many open at once.

[cedar fox]

ooooooh how do i do that

[pearl marlin]

if you use il2cpp the official android emulators dont work, you can try some third party ones like blue stacks or LDplayer

[gray elk]

Do I need mobile dependency resolver if i use unity ads (by advertisement legacy) and not mediation

[pearl marlin]

If it has any gradle or pod dependencies I would use it. It's widely used by many plugins now so it's better to have the dep resolver

[gray elk]

Using it throws some errors how to resolve them?

[pearl marlin]

sharing the errors would help 😆

what unity version?

[gray elk]

Job failed with exception: GooglePlayServices.JavaUtilities+ToolNotFoundException: jar not found, C:/Program Files/Unity/Hub/Editor/2021.3.20f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/OpenJDK references incomplete Java distribution.

version: 2021.3.20f1

[pearl marlin]

Is it using the bundled JDK + android sdk or a custom installation? Check preferences > external tools. My guess is its broken or missing.
Also you should consider upgrading to 2022 or higher.

[gray elk]

I am using one installed with unity

[gray elk]

okay I'll upgrade to 2022

[pearl marlin]

make a backup of the project first if not using git/other source control.
Install the latest 2022 version in unity hub + bundled jdk stuff and hopefully that works correctly.

[gray elk]

okay will try and inform

[worthy nacelle]

what is the most recommended that are compatible with google products integration such as authentication, speech to text, text to speech, vision, etc?

most recommended unity version?

[pearl marlin]

I would do 2022 and above and be on the latest patch so you can target the latest API level. Some build errors can be fixed by changing the min to android 7

[soft hatch]

can someone help please

[gray elk]

Welp the error persists, and i noticed that the dependency resolver searches for 2021.3.20f1 while i have 2022 version

[pearl marlin]

is your JAVA_HOME env var set to something weird then?

you could perhaps install the jdk yourself and hope that helps

[gray elk]

The error is solved but now I'm getting new errors when building the app, it's unable to build

[pearl marlin]

Can you locate the error and send it here? When you find the main error Google it too to research the cause and fixes.
You won't get anywhere if you just say "it won't build" and do nothing else.

If the project has custom gradle templates, delete and remake them (gradleTemplate, launcherTemplate, settingsTemplate ect...)
Copy over any changes you need in them to the new versions. Force a android dep resolve too to re add stuff.

[gray elk]

Thank you man, I had deleted the dependency resolver and deleted gradle template etc. and rebuilt, and it builds now

I have built many android games but never used any dependency resolver. I'm using unity ads and I guess I need to use the resolver because when i build it to my phone the ads wont show up, while it shows in editor.

[pearl marlin]

in editor its fake so that doesnt mean anything in relation to real builds working or not

Add it back then and see what happens next build. If you ever wish to use level play/ironsource then its required too.

[gray elk]

yeah in editor they're test ads. I thought I would get to see test ads in my phone too, but it doesn't show up.

[pearl marlin]

add your device as a test device as sometimes it wont give test ads otherwise. Also check via android logcat if some error is preventing ads showing.

dunno about unity ads but its a thing for google admob + ironsource/levelplay

[gray elk]

I have added my device as test device in unity cloud. also i checked it earlier in logcat and it says error initializing ads

how do I enable the use of the keyboard for mobile? Im having difficulty with the docs: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TouchScreenKeyboard.Android.html

You don't need that code at all. Just make sure Hide Soft Keyboard and Hide Mobile Input on the InputField component are unchecked.

hey everyone, I have been building singleplayer unity game to publish on android, but i'm struggling with to fix the error below for few months now and getting burnt out. Within unity editor, I see that my admob is displayed succesfully when clicking the button "nicely done, everything seems to be working succesfully", but when I build and test through android studio, clicking ad button doesn't do anything and generate error in logcat from androidstudio

[pearl marlin]

did you install google dependency resolver?
What unity version?
Is google ad mob up to date?

[pure bison]

@pearl marlin
did you install google dependency resolver?
yes

What unity version?
i tried with 2022.3.45 and 6000.0.23

Is google ad mob up to date?
No, I was using 6.1.2. When I used 9.5 (latest version) i was having some gradling error so I downgraded the version.

[pearl marlin]

Well the error you got implies the classes needed to show ads are missing so something is mis configured.
V 6 is pretty ancient so don't bother. Re make your gradle template files and re add custom changes to hopefully fix

[pure bison]

thank you for your help, so should I try with latest admob version first?

[cedar fox]

ooh i was hoping this was gonna be it but sadly no :C

[pearl marlin]

i think so yes. but you should make sure your gradle template files are good too. If you had custom ones and upgraded major unity versions its probably needed (e.g. 2021 -> 2022)
