Hey! I'm having trouble handling mobile resolution. By default it cuts off around the notch and the bottom part of my screen (curved corners) but still reads input from it. I've looked around but can't find much about how to properly handle different resolutions and things like curves, notches and punch holes in unity. Any advice?

#

God it's been so long since I used unity because of openGL studies and I feel like I've forgotten everything 😅

This is what it shows, apart from the android icons.

FYI - this will generally tell you the rect for the device that's safe to render elements on (i.e. not covered by notches or curves) - https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Screen-safeArea.html

static needle May 22, 2019, 10:08 PM

@wooden aurora Is this what it uses by default? Because that might explain my issue.

wooden aurora May 22, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

I'm not sure unity does anything with it by default other than make it available to you (but that might be not true in newer versions)

#

Double check your resolution settings in your build settings as well

static needle May 22, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

Honestly I have no idea how it's deciding my resolution. It's been a while since I've used unity and I never did mobile stuff.

I know I set it to portait though and couldn't see much else relovent before.

#

The native aspect ration is what's throwing me off, since it's not that.

#

Then again, the whole unity remote is the wrong resolution... fuuuuuck.

#

Not sure why your tab looks different though.

wooden aurora May 22, 2019, 10:18 PM

because I'm on iOS

not android

and because I'm on an older version of unity, likely

static needle May 22, 2019, 10:18 PM

oh, ok. Also looking at safeArea furth it says to just read from the width and height. The width and height are not the whole size.

#

Is there a good way to test for mobile?

#

Building, sending to my phone, installing, running is not very convenient.

#

Can you not simulate touch, screen sizes etc. in the editor?

#

I would have thought something like what the chrome developer console has

#

I'm not sure why I didn't try searching before asking here.

#

But I found this: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityRemote5.html

#

One thing though: it says you need the android SDK installed. Is the SDK bundled with Unity not enough?

#

Because it doesn't work, and I get this when pressing play: Set-up Android SDK path to make Android remote work

shrewd hedge May 26, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

I've used unity remote in the past, and it mostly sucked. It worked for simple things but it was pretty rough. Has it gotten better?

dull badge May 26, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

Not sure how it was before, but it's ok I guess.

#

It could be better, but I think at least it'll be useful for quickly testing some features, better than having to build at least

#

The lower resolution is understandable, but I wish the frame rate could be better

#

I also had some trouble getting it to run initially and had to restart both the app and unity

#

And I wish it would respond to the device screen size and orientation, instead of just stretching the viewport to fit

shrewd hedge May 26, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

sounds a lot like what it was when I used it last. Pretty rough.

misty crater May 26, 2019, 8:10 PM

frosty salmon May 27, 2019, 4:20 PM

I am creating an asset that will need to be regularly updated automatically.

After installing a game with the asset package I built on an android device (using IL2CPP) I am attempting to automatically update code without altering the main .apk package.
The code that will need updating is all managed inside a C# plugin that I wrote. The managed dll references a native plugin that will not need updating in which I also wrote.
This of course will eventually be on the asset store, so abiding by the terms of service for both Unity, Oculus, and Google is very much desired.
What I think may be possible, have the managed plugin be compiled to native android separately but statically linked from the .apk and be replaceable by an external service.

If anyone can spare the time to answer these questions, it would be much appreciated:

How difficult would this be? (Is it possible)
What experience would this require?
Are there any examples of this that are opensource/ legally backwards engineerable?
Is there a creative way to address this that does not require "hackey" methods?
If this is in anyway viable, what could be done to achieve something like this that I may not have considered?
Would I be wasting my time with something like this?

lusty flume May 28, 2019, 9:29 AM

Okay, so I've got something weird. My builds for android are just over twice the size they used to be. I haven't added anything, I'm guessing I've changed some setting somewhere, but not sure what it could be. Even after just getting rid of a ton of stuff from the scenes, and not including some scenes in the build, it's still 110kb .apk file whereas the old .apk used to be 51kb. I cannot figure out any changed settings, yet this is obviously way too large...

stark parcel May 28, 2019, 7:15 PM

did you add a new binary to it? like Arm64?

I'm looking for a way to disable multitouch on the UI only... wondering if anyone knows a good way to do this. Do I need to override StandaloneInputModule?

wooden aurora May 28, 2019, 7:19 PM

I think you can extend GraphicsRaycaster.raycast

#

and return nothing if you already have a finger down?

uneven river May 28, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

@lusty flume like someone mentioned did you tick to support multiple platforms?

#

Also, you can check the build logs to see what's eating the most space. Let me find that info for you rq..

#

Iirc what you need is the editor log file. It may even show your assets in size from largest to smallest. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LogFiles.html

#

You can also do this right after a build

Go to the Console window (menu: Window > General > Console
), click the small drop-down panel in the top right, and select Open Editor Log.

lusty flume May 28, 2019, 9:05 PM

It was already multi platform, that's not a setting I changed. Yeah I looked into largest, except total user file size comes to less than half the final installed size 😦

the comment in StandaloneInputModule::ProcessTouchPress seems to suggest that we can override it to handle touches ourselves, but it's not marked virtual.... am I missing something?

Having an issue with Android builds where every so often when the app is opened all that's seen is a black screen. Force closing the app and re-opening often resolves the issue but it's seemingly completely random.

#

The particular device this problem is occurring on is an LG K20+.

#

The APK worked fine at one point then broke over the last few builds. Only thing that had changed were some image and audio alterations.

Tried wiping Library folder.

Hey everyone,

We have an interactive project (very simple UI driven app) that builds out at 700mb on PC. However, when we push it to iOS, it's 2.1 gigs. What would be something we could consider to reduce this?

One point about the project is that there are a bunch of papers/posters (research related) that we load on demand. They're quite big at 4096 each and are in the Resources folder. They're set to compressed. I suspect this is the problem, but just want some second opinions.

wooden aurora Jun 3, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

externalizing those and downloading them as asset bundles is pretty common

#

also, what size are you looking at for 2.1 gigs - is that the IPA - and is it a universal binary?

launchIntent.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("putExtra", "INVITE", "x7nQnPD");
ca.Call("startActivity", launchIntent);

#

PS: discord invitation link

neon thicket Jun 4, 2019, 1:08 PM

#

@wooden aurora Thanks for the reply (got a bit busy).

Yeah, we definitely would want to download them, or even use a PDF reader, but unfortunately the nature of our client work is for conferences where internet is crappy at best, so we can never rely on it. Everything needs to be built straight into the app.

It's the IPA, read from the iPad settings itself.

neon thicket Jun 4, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

Okay, so I just did a test where I removed the entire Resources folder, containing all these massive UI image papers and it dropped down to 444mb.

I'm just wondering now, if there's even anything we can really do at this point to optimize. They need to be pretty high quality because they're text based medical papers/posters.

wooden aurora Jun 4, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

do you have mips enabled?

neon thicket Jun 4, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

No. Though, I did some research and in my own stupidity (sorry for wasting everyone's time, lol), we hadn't set any build compression.

#

Set the compression to LZ4HC, and it dropped down to a whopping 220mb.

I dont know if anyone else has had this problem, but as an experiment, I added VR support to my project (Oculus Mobile). This is because the project has thus far been for mobile and VR (separately, mobile is normal, not vr). However, once I added the Oculus SDK, I had some fun building to quest, and now cant stop android building for VR. Deleted all the oculus files, but when it loads on the phone, its opening the 'gear VR' app. I have disabled the setting in XR settings, does anyone know any other settings I have to change to remove this?

I'm trying to implement Mobile Swipe to a golf ball. I have got it to move however it takes like 10 swipes to move an significant distance. Any help would be appreciated ASAP.

crimson lark Jun 12, 2019, 9:59 AM

#

ok so u using unity to make android app u can find ur device type or model easily and run ur logic with #if

whole kestrel Jun 12, 2019, 9:59 AM

#

It’s not possible in general - OS would have to support running two views/activities - one on tablet, the other one mirrored to the TV

crimson lark Jun 12, 2019, 10:00 AM

#

SystemInfo.deviceName

#

SystemInfo.deviceModel

#

@whole kestrel idk about that

whole kestrel Jun 12, 2019, 10:01 AM

#

bout what

crimson lark Jun 12, 2019, 10:01 AM

#

bout wat u just said

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 10:01 AM

#

@crimson lark right but I'm not talking about running the app on the TV I'm talking about casting video to the TV while showing something different on the screen.

#

*On the Tablet screen that is

crimson lark Jun 12, 2019, 10:01 AM

#

ok i got u wrong then

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

@median sentinel Have you tried multiplying the force with the swipe by a larger factor?

median sentinel Jun 12, 2019, 10:03 AM

#

Yes my friend and I are doing it together at the moment and it does not make any difference

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 10:03 AM

#

@whole kestrel & @crimson lark Do you think an app would be able to cast to a screen by itself and bypass the OS?

crimson lark Jun 12, 2019, 10:04 AM

#

idk thats beyond my knowledge

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 10:04 AM

#

@median sentinel What about using the swipe more as a toggle and applying the force manually?

#

@crimson lark Well thanks for responding anyway, you did say it had been a while since you'd done any android stuff.

crimson lark Jun 12, 2019, 10:05 AM

#

yes xD sorry i could not be helpful

median sentinel Jun 12, 2019, 10:06 AM

#

@torpid dagger How would this be done?
Because I initially followed a YouTube tutorial for the input.

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 10:06 AM

#

Sometimes it's just nice to know you're not just yelling into the void.

#

@median sentinel So, when you detect the swipe, it's getting a little push right?

median sentinel Jun 12, 2019, 10:07 AM

#

Yes very very small

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 10:07 AM

#

Are you adding the force of the swipe to the object?

median sentinel Jun 12, 2019, 10:07 AM

#

No upwards

#

Yes

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 10:08 AM

#

Ok, so rather than applying the force from the swipe. Make it an arbitrary number. It won't be very sensitive but it will get you moving.

median sentinel Jun 12, 2019, 10:10 AM

#

Okay. Is it possible if I send you a video of my code?
Because I may be doing completely the wrong thing?

whole kestrel Jun 12, 2019, 10:19 AM

#

@torpid dagger my lunch is finished and I spend good two chunks of it formulating reply here which wen like a pearl to the swines - so that's general impression 😃

#

to your issue - you might dig pretty deep into native android development with this and i'm not sure if it's possible at all

#

at least it would be heavily device dependent

#

(possibly utilizing a specific vendor APIs)

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 10:23 AM

#

@whole kestrel About my issue, I had a strong suspicion it would be that way... hmm... maybe some kind of Jackbox type set up would be more viable. Where people's hands were shown on their devices but the main board was shown on the TV through another device.

#

Also, I'm sorry you had a bad lunchtime.

whole kestrel Jun 12, 2019, 10:24 AM

#

yea setup with local networking might work I think ( could be done even via bluetooth )

#

lunch itself was pretty good actually )

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 10:27 AM

#

Well at least you had a good lunch. XD

whole kestrel Jun 12, 2019, 10:32 AM

#

it was being had indeed ! :]

#

oh and that said .. : chances are that it'd be more stable/approachable on iOS anyway but i'm not sure about latest development there with airplay2

#

(original airplay supported only mirroring)

torpid dagger Jun 12, 2019, 11:30 AM

#

Also... I don't really want to touch iOS

#

Anyway, I'm off to get some dinner. Have a good one.

Hi guy. My AR game working so well with build 32bit.
When I build IL2CPP arm64, no error appear but when I play game, my vuforia doesn't get error but camera doesn't work although camera permission is granted.
Please help me

I just got unity remote 5 and my game looks very small and not good on it does anyone know how to fix that

flint jetty Jun 14, 2019, 5:34 AM

#

Hey guys I'm totally stumped on this one. Trying to build 64 bit to android. If anyone has any clues I would be very happy to hear them.

When I setup a build with the IL2CPP backend and ARM64 I am getting this error

Win32Exception: ApplicationName='E:/games/Evil_Villian_Games/unity/Raven's Path/WorkingAndriodNDK/android-ndk-r16b-windows-x86_64/android-ndk-r16b/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/clang++.exe', CommandLine='@"Temp/StagingArea/strip/armeabi-v7a/UnityICallRegistration.rsp"', CurrentDirectory='', Native error= The system cannot find the file specified.

It works fine When I build to android with mono.
What are some things I should check If I'm trying to build with 64bit Android libraries? I have the correct version of the Android NDK.

near prism Jun 14, 2019, 5:42 AM

#

Try disabling stripping but I don't think it has anything to do with the 64 bit or your NDK. Since il2cpp will strip most unused code(what the compiler thinks is unused) but it says the UnityICallRegistration.rsp is missing

flint jetty Jun 14, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

ok let me give that a shot, what is the UnityICallRegistration.rsp? Or is there some way for me to repair it?

near prism Jun 14, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

I do not know, I just did a quick google search and saw some stuff that might help.

#

looks like they also suggested disabling stripping

flint jetty Jun 14, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

fair enough, I tried googling that file earlier but the resualts were pretty slim. I did find a couple errors related to the same thing but they were a bit different. Ok well that's a good sign, i'm loading in now

#

Fingers crossed

#

I can only set Manage Stripping Level to Low, But I unchecked Strip Code Engine

#

building again now

near prism Jun 14, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

@flint jetty here is a link to the documentation that might help you if this solves your issue.

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

flint jetty Jun 14, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

that's funny I actually have that open, whats strange is i'm accessing the same drop down but there is no disabled option

#

oh I guess it says its not available for IL2PP

near prism Jun 14, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

probably have to go low

flint jetty Jun 14, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

indeed

#

is disabling engine stripping a good idea?

#

I mean I guess well see if it solves the issue

near prism Jun 14, 2019, 6:00 AM

#

it bloats the app. You can test it out. Eventually would would want to find what exactly is being stripped and forcing the build to include it

#


This option is the default stripping level for the Mono scripting backend. The Disabled option is not available when the IL2CPP scripting backend is selected because of the impact it has on build times. More managed code means more C++ code for IL2CPP to generate, which means more C++ code to compile. The result is a much longer time between making a code change and seeing that change in action. ```

flint jetty Jun 14, 2019, 6:03 AM

#

Do think its possible this has to do with my verison of C++ redistributable? Becuase I haven't been able to install those for some time. My windows installer service is corrupted

#

however I have been able to use the versions I already have installed for most everything

near prism Jun 14, 2019, 6:04 AM

flint jetty Jun 14, 2019, 7:20 PM

@near prism the error came back when I enable engine code stripping again. It turns out the issue was that I was storing the Android NDK in a directory with ' in the name. Exactly the same issue as the keystore one. Anway I thought you might be interested. Thanks again for the help!

The lerp problem is solved thank you I I used coroutiens

glossy sluice Jun 17, 2019, 2:10 PM

@crimson lark coroutines use a lot of memory, it's better to use the Update method, but all depend of your project 😃 Glad you solve your problem.

crimson lark Jun 17, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

oh thank you for ur advice since my target platform is mobile n ofc memory is important but i thought its cleaner to use a method

n not spam update method xD

@glossy sluice

i recorded a clip n showed all components n how it works with and without canvas scaler

glossy sluice Jun 17, 2019, 2:18 PM

The Update method is called anyway, it's made for it,

crimson lark Jun 17, 2019, 2:18 PM

please look at it @glossy sluice when its uploded

this is about the ui n canvas scaler problem

in the clip im showing how it works well without canvas scaler enabled

#

n how canvas sclaer messes it up after i enabled it

glossy sluice Jun 17, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

yes, the screen width didn't change with your canvas scaler, but your canvas scaler change the size of your container

#

@crimson lark you should use your Screen.width * CanvasScale

crimson lark Jun 17, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

wat is the canvas scale

glossy sluice Jun 17, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

No sorry, if you use your canvas scaler, you'll not have to use your code in the Awake method, because you've already set it to 1080 on Unity, the problem you'll have is if you changed your canvas scaler settings or if your device didn't match with that ratio and then you'll have to make some calcul and stock it as constants to use it on your Awake method, do you follow me? ^^

crimson lark Jun 17, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

ye

#

but not sure wat the solution is yet

#

but there should be a way

#

to do it from script

#

i thought script has priority

#

over editor

glossy sluice Jun 17, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

if you're sure to have no problem with, you can set the "match" param of the Canvas scaler to 0 and then your width will be always the same as the Canvas Scaler

#

but on certain device the heigh will not match

crimson lark Jun 17, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

yea im aware of that

#

but as u said in devices like 1440 x 2560 it will look bad

glossy sluice Jun 17, 2019, 2:39 PM

crimson lark Jun 17, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

damn u have same problem too?

glossy sluice Jun 17, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

no it's the same ratio, so you'll not have problem with

#

you'll have problem with device like iPhone X where the scale will not match

crimson lark Jun 17, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

ye thats why i persist on the value to be 0.5

glossy sluice Jun 17, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

@crimson lark for your project, the height will be scaled without problem, I guess the best option for you is to set the match to 0 😃

#

@crimson lark and remove the set of width on your Awake method

crimson lark Jun 17, 2019, 2:58 PM

#

um

glossy sluice Jun 17, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

it'll fix your problem with the 1080 and 1440 resolution for sure, and then you have to try with a different resolution scale like 1242 x 2688 and you'll have some ui to adjust but it'll be fine

Whats the best way to add Haptic feedback for iOS when the player shoots. I tried adding Handheld.Vibrate(); However this is not haptic its a vibration like when the phone rings. I'd rather do it without buying an asset for some thing so simple.

wooden aurora Jun 18, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

not the answer you are looking for - but I've had a lot of success with this - https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/ios-haptic-feedback-73225

iOS Haptic Feedback - Asset Store

With the launch of iOS10 Apple has opened up access to the vibration feedback on the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.

This plugin saves you the effort to write your own plugin. It offers an easy interface to trigger any of the various vibration...

looking at their implementation. I probably would spend more than $5 of my own time trying to write it 😃

Hi all, I am very new to unity. Currently I am making a mobile game. My prime concern is performance efficiency / optimization of the game on various mobile devices. Since using prefabs are way more easy than just importing the asset as game object, is there any problem in importing all-most all possible assets as Prefabs? Will it lead to performance issue or large file size?

And when downgrading you should always remove and regenerate Library folder to clear data from newer version (as the error points out)

hello everyone, I have an issue where my game crashes on startup if I open it on my android Phone. in unity everything is fine and there are no errors. does anyone know how to fix this?

strange venture Jun 23, 2019, 1:50 AM

#

The most common reason that something works in the editor but crashes on the phone is running out of memory. Also I think Android will shut down apps that take too long to start up (not necessarily memory, but huge levels or textures).

#

If you have the android debug tool setup (called adb) you can type "adb logcat -s Unity" into a command prompt or terminal and it will print out everything Unity logged during startup. It will probably give details of the crash there.

#

You can also find a more involved tool called Android Monitor in the Android SDK. In newer version of Unity you can find that at: Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.1.7f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\tools\monitor.bat

Well, the services are different and the limitations that come with the general systems. Also you have to consider that most people on mobile apps are actually on shitty mobile networks that may not always work so well.

Other than that network communications really don't care what the end systems are.

flint jetty Jul 1, 2019, 4:48 PM

@craggy crater Thanks for the tip! I checked it out. It's pretty much as I feared. their game is 3d so porting it to landscape is a lot easier. In our case we would have to extended the artwork on all screens along with all the menu re aligning if we wanted to do correct landscape mode. We have made quite a large game for mobile so doing this could take a very long time. I don't think we can support both versions with our small team size :/. Anyway thanks for the help! I guess for now we will release on mobile only.

why doesn't unity build have any restriction on IL2CPP for .Net 4.x api compat level? this api contains System.Reflection.Emit which is not supported on c++ and therefore in the final il2cpp build creates a header that requests for il2cpp-codegen-metadata.h which does not exist!

I have a game object in scene( let it be a cube). I need to rotate it along x,y and z axis on the exact amount on which my mobile phone is rotated around these axis. I am using gyroscope sensor as input. "RotateRate" was working fine initially, but after rotating and shaking phone a bit, the orientation of cube doesn't match as that of phone. . here is my code, .

minor mountain Jul 2, 2019, 10:06 PM

Did your app maybe change orientation? That will also change the gyro axis.

Hey all! I've encountered a problem with Admob/iOS. Can't close an Admob interstitial ad on iOS. Ad loads properly, but when I click on the (x) button in the top left corner, the ad sometimes closes immediately, sometimes it closes after 10-15 seconds of clicking. Anyone encountered this kind of problem before?

iron cave Jul 3, 2019, 8:04 PM

Unity Ads are not displaying when you install the game from Google Play.

But they are displaying when you run the game from debug mode directly on your phone via USB.

Why?

Hey - is there anyone here that could try to help me out a bit - I am trying to build to 64bit android but i am running into problems. If I build using Minify of any kind then the application doesn't find the android java classes that are meant be in the project.

then I get exceptions when I run the app on the device

Hi @meager bear we had this issue few weeks ago I had to upgrade Firebase, Google and some plugings and ensure all your manifest files have the same min sdk version.

#

keeping the conversation on the 64 bits issue, I'm stuck trying to upload the apk to the store.
If I use the App Bundle my app exceeds the max 100 mb limit for the apk, and if I choose the old way of split binary and do it with the "split by target architecture" check, I get errors when uploading the 3 apks because it says I have codes and libraries from other architectures.

I'm using last 2019 patch and already look into my plugins folder for some architecture dependency checks but no luck on my search :(

Any one with the same issue?

Thanks in advance 😄

Nope. Restarting did not fix it, but there is an error when Unity opens that is likely relevant

CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to update Android SDK pack

@elder aspen you could probably work that around via setting system envar for JAVA_HOME

elder aspen Jul 12, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

I tried that but still had no luck. Since previous versions of Unity are working I have a hunch that the JDK is packaged separately with each Unity installation and that's where it's looked for. Maybe the DKs were installed incorrectly or corrupted somehow.

Hi everyone. I am tying to find what is the best way to forward the drag to gameobjects in event system. I have 4 gameobjects in a single line. When the user drags the first object the OnDrag event gets triggered. When the user drag hits the next object, the raycast result has this new object, but I am not sure how do I pass the Drag event to this object. Any help will be appreciated

analog hollow Jul 18, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

@fair oracle basic step would be thinking in components: you have a component named like "Talkable" with everything you need to show a dialog (like text, bubbles, portrait, you name it), at least a public function that shows the dialogue BUT the component should not concern itself with HOW the dialogue is triggered

#

Everything with a "Talkable" script can show a dialogue, but it doesn't specifiy how

#

Next step: use UnityEvent to trigger that public function specified in the "Talkable" component to trigger and show the dialogue

#

For example, a basic box set as a trigger that OnTriggerEnter calls the "ShowDialogue" function, and a EventTrigger on the NPC that calls the same function

#

now you have the same behaviour, that can be triggered with whatever interface you choose

#

A step even further would be setting up your own global dialogue system in order to make everything as consistent as possible; to be fair, you should always think in systems when writing a game because it makes the code neater, your life easier and the game more performant

I don't know if the SDK versions are fixed for specific Unity versions, but it ~~never~~ rarely hurts to be up to date with minor versions. It could fix this.

@odd arrow It doesn't let me uncheck it

and now I can't even open my project because it says my unity editor is outdated

@little thicket an idea - you could try duplicating the project, then go into Projects\ <project_dup_name>\Packages\ and delete manifest.json, and then try launching it. See if that lets you back in

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

@midnight tapir It lets me back in if I hit continue, but it opens the older version of unity.

midnight tapir Jul 25, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

@little thicket ah. ok second idea, try deleting the folders from the /Assets/Packages folder listed in the error message from the duplicate project, then reopen

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

but I can't build it from that, because it doesn't match the project version or something

midnight tapir Jul 25, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

like i see textmeshpro in the list, you could delete that package folder to clear it out, and reinstall it from the package manager if needed

#

manifest.json is a list of packages and their versions

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

wait, the project is an older version too?

#

📎 unknown.png

#

it built successfully last week, idk why its having all these issues now.

#

So I should just copy the whole folder and then remove those files from it?

midnight tapir Jul 25, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

i think hacking around on a duplicate of your project is a good way to try and solve it. The error listed above seems to be saying 'hey your project is calling for these particular versions of things, but we can't find them'

#

so if deleting the manifest.json file doesn't work, ya i'd start trying to remove the packages it has problems with

#

then reinstall them in the package manager

#

if needed

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 3:30 AM

#

how to you re-import packages?

midnight tapir Jul 25, 2019, 3:30 AM

#

Windows -> package manager -> , search for the package by name, hit the install button

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 3:34 AM

#

Alright, I deleted that .json file and it launched with no issues other than these

#

📎 unknown.png

#

But it says they will be removed, so thats fine right?

#

ahhhhh

#

📎 unknown.png

#

what does that mean? @midnight tapir

midnight tapir Jul 25, 2019, 3:41 AM

#

the warnings should be fine to ignore, the missing project ID, is talking about being hooked up to unity services, do you use unity services for anything in that project?

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 3:41 AM

#

not that I know of but thats never popped up before

midnight tapir Jul 25, 2019, 3:42 AM

#

not sure why you're seeing that.. can only speculate has something to do with resetting those packages, i'd click yes and carry on.

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 3:47 AM

midnight tapir Jul 25, 2019, 3:48 AM

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 3:48 AM

it says it failed to load because the project is a newer version of unity

even though I downloaded the newest version on unity it refuses to launch in that version

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

@odd arrow How do i do that?

odd arrow Jul 25, 2019, 5:40 PM

by deleting the folder, Project will regenerate cache , make sure you are using .meta files

little thicket Jul 25, 2019, 5:40 PM

the .json?

#

Do I do that while its open in unity editor and then build it to regen?

Close it, delete Library, let it regenerate

package manifest file probably as well

kinda spooky, my app is blank lol

if you didn't turn off .meta files it will rebuild the cache without problems

idk what meta files are or how to turn them on or off

#

oh there it is

its up now

odd arrow Jul 25, 2019, 5:50 PM

Unity keeps all meta data in them all references and serialization. When you are using any version control you want to make sure they are included

I too am having fun with ads! could someone explain that actual way i should install all this in 2018.4?

do i use the ads package from package manager, the monetisation asset from the asset store, or check enable built-in ads extension in the ads service panel?

so ads only work in editor if i have all three of these things installed/checked, but i cant build to android because of duplicate librarys?

I've downloaded android module to unity 2019.1.a

unfortunately I can't run my game.

it is successfully installed in my device but it doesn't launch up .

I'm sure about targeting my api level which is 23 ( android 6)

I also tried to change player settings/ build settings

I got tge 2 output architecture ( arma 7 , x86)

only armeabi7 install but doesn't run ( immediately close)

I tried to disable/ enable gpu API targets
Doesn't reslove my problem .

I tried build with various settings all the same result ( only one version can be install however it crash immediately.

I tried to clone it through clone app( an app called app cloner) to add a debugable script .

I can't get the full debug result but it shows
java.lang.error: fatal exception[main]

I tried some solutions on Google but I can't figure out the problem

any idea?

#

some people says its caused by Google ads package ..

didn't work

#

not sure if its a bug or due to settings

#

yo !

after trying to modify it through some tools shows that there's no activity expect some main activity

i think it generate empty apk ( no other scripts exist

You can install/uninstall packages freely that doesn't cause issues turning everything off minimizes them. Main thing you want to test if it crashed without all the ads packages.

@little thicket I fixed it by unchecking the built in thing in the service tab, then i added UNITY_ADS to the scripting define symbols in player settings.

though UNITY_ADS wouldnt stick properly, so i had to add it to the text box, then click another property label in the player settings (making it turn blue), it would then seem to get saved properly. very odd, never seen anything like that before

the button need to be a child of that canvas so it will inherit it's parents dimensions

Ok so I have another issue here which is that, I now have created a button that can show or hide a tab and I made it by doing an "animation" which is just to lower the tab transform by its height. It works perfectly for the reference resolution but depending on the resolution I put it can go even lower or stop in the middle of the screen

for high resolution

and lower

You should make something general for all resolutions idk how your design is, or just analyze your positioning

maybe because I used pixel position and not world

how could I get world positions then ?

or the new pixel height

glossy sluice Aug 3, 2019, 9:34 PM

i liked not using Animation but rather doing it myself

#

aka in code

scarlet nebula Aug 3, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

yeah that's what I tried to make

glossy sluice Aug 3, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

then you need to adjust to screen size

#

with ratios or whatever

#

and then change recttransform values

#

are you using pixels in the code

#

if so you are probably doing it wrong :P

#

you should only need to use pixels for scaling it all

does someone know a fix to the magenta screen issue?

I have seen dozens of posts but not one could help me

#

in unity the game works

#

but on phone its all magents

#

magenta

#

and it says that the hardware requirements arent met

#

even on nox(android emu on pc)

#

pls pm me

scarlet nebula Aug 3, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

well, the transform.position is in world space right ? so it shouldn't change when I change the resolution of the game, shouldn't it ?

scarlet nebula Aug 3, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

and I tried mutliplying it by a ratio value * (Screen.height / canvas reference height)

#

but for some resolutions it doesn't work (I kind of know why but it'll be easier to get the world positions)

whole kestrel Aug 3, 2019, 11:15 PM

#

you don't want to solve 'a magenta screen issue', you want to solve an actual error / setup
magenta color is just fallback shader color when unity can't find /compile shaders for target platform or anything else prevents it from using the material

#

^@alpine cypress no pm mate sorry

#

it's very well possible your phone is not capable enough for shaders unity is pushing on it

alpine cypress Aug 3, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

ok

#

i will try on different phone

#

what really suprises me however is that nox cant handle it as well

Anyone here have a good understanding of mobile ads? My game builds without them fine, run on my phone with no issues. It I check the ads box, it refuses to build.

glossy sluice Aug 4, 2019, 2:58 PM

#

@little thicket yes just tell me are you using the unity monitization 3.2.0?

#

brazen crater Aug 4, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

Also posted in #archived-shaders:
Anyone have any idea how one could do different textures on different meshes sharing the same material without atlasing?

I basically have these environment meshes which make super great use of texture wrapping to tile across their surfaces. I can't atlas their textures because the UVs on these meshes go far beyond the bounds of the texture (for example, a square of grass) to tile it.
That leaves me with, like, 20 identical materials with zilch changed but the texture. Which feels like a waste of draw calls.

I'm trying to free up graphics resources to do a shadow pass, and I feel like I could get away with it if I could find a way to batch the entire environment together. Any ideas?

brazen crater Aug 4, 2019, 11:16 PM

#

Or maybe there's an efficient method for emulating wrapping, clamping and mirroring on texture tiles within a texture atlas?

#

Would something like a Texture 2D array work, or packing all the textures into a Texture3D and sampling Z be fast enough?

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 12:22 AM

#

@glossy sluice Where would I find the version?

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 11:56 AM

#

On the assets store it is the Unity Monitization SDK

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 12:32 PM

#

@glossy sluice I don't remember downloading that from the asset store, I followed some tutorial on youtube that may be out dated now or something.

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 12:33 PM

#

Go to the assets store and download the newest sdk

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 12:37 PM

#

Okay, apparently I had it but I needed to update it, it's updated and imported now.

#

@glossy sluice

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 12:38 PM

#

Okay so listen now

#

Go to the AD in your services menu

#

And go to the advanced menu and disable Use Build in ad extenstion

#

After you disabled that it will build @little thicket

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 12:40 PM

#

Ads will appear with that being disabled?

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 12:40 PM

#

Yes since unity conflits the asset and the old build in version

#

But be sure to have ads on

#

I am talking about disabling the sub menu

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

Yes that is it

#

If you have done the code right you should have test ads after build

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

is there anything I need to do in player settings?

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 12:43 PM

#

No that is all you need to do

#

See if you have error since the unity 3.2.0 assets has chnaged few thigs I had to do miner changes to my code

#

That was for me atleast

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 12:44 PM

#

do you use banner ads?

#

oh nice, it built first try

#

Where is the test ads option? @glossy sluice

#

will that be in ap?

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 12:48 PM

#

No it is in your code monitize(storeid, true)

#

False is for live ads

#

Yes I use banner ads

#

📎 unknown.png

#

store id will be in your unity dashboard

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 1:05 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

@glossy sluice so I should set that to false and rebuild it?

#

also, I haven't been able to see where my ad will show up, it just covers the whole screen in the unity editor

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

@glossy sluice i tried with it true and false and neither show an ad in the app when I test it on my phone.

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

Test on true do not use false

#

Banner ads need to be made on the dashboard

#

As a custom ad

#

And they need to use count routine

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

ahhhh, I should probably enable test mode huh

nvm still doesnt work.

So I need a count routine?

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 2:04 PM

Yes banner ads are not easy as video ads and rewarded ads

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 2:04 PM

ugh, my app is too simple to have a video ad lol

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

Only north america

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

Im in NA

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

And banner ads do not make revenue that much and are shown rarely

little thicket Aug 5, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

hm

#

im probably just gonna upload it with no ads then

#

I was hoping I could at least pay for my $25 fee for the google store thing

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 2:07 PM

That would take months from banner ads

glossy sluice Aug 5, 2019, 10:14 PM

banner ads not allowed in EU ? where does it say that?

#

@still venture

#

try moving the first scene as a second scene maybe

#

and reduce sizes of texture and so on

#

Hi When you split the build in an APK and an OBB, the following applies: The APK contains only the executable files (dll's compiled c#, java) and all the data related to the first scene. Be careful: this is the scene with index 0 ! The OBB contains everything else (gfx / sound / object data / ...). If you've added an empty scene 0 (which then loads the actual first scene) you should have little to no data related to that scene in your APK. The rest should be very small (+- 12 MB from the standard binaries + 20 MB from your compiled code [deducted from your output log]. If the APK remains large, you should extract it to see what's inside. An APK is acutally a ZIP file. So just give it the extension .ZIP and extract it. This will give you the manifest file, potential included resources and the compiled code as a .dex file. This way you should be able to tell what makes it so big. Hope this helps Kind regards Koen Matthijs

#

Regarding app-size: Is it helpfull to use image compression-tools for textures in addition to the ETC2-compression in the build settings?

robust hamlet Aug 8, 2019, 11:22 AM

#

For an app with that size you should be creating a game like Asphalt ... you can use a tool like BuildReport to see what takes space in your build and what's included and not

can some1 explain me the basic steps on how to implement a foreground service for my app? Do I create another app with a service or can I add it to my apk somehow after exporting from unity? How do I reference the service in my app?

robust hamlet Aug 8, 2019, 12:34 PM

#

@tender adder what is the reason you need a foreground service?

tender adder Aug 8, 2019, 12:36 PM

#

I have an app that includes a running track feature

#

and when its out of focus the unity gps requests dont work

#

so i want to have a service that either sends gps data to a sql-server or just saves the gps-coordinates and sends them back to the app as soon as it is in focus again

robust hamlet Aug 8, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

I would suggest creating a jar file with your service and to create a simple interface in order to be able to communicate with Unity, include it in your Plugins folder and use it

#

Or you can export your project to an Android Studio project and than create your service and implementation there

#

Maybe I would prefer to export the project because it will be much more easier to test it

tender adder Aug 8, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

does unity convert the project into java?

robust hamlet Aug 8, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

Only the main activity is in Java, which handles the loading of unity stuff inside the Activity

#

But using the second method you will be able to create an Application class inside Android Studio, create a listener for foreground / background action of your app and start the foreground service whenever you need

tender adder Aug 8, 2019, 12:44 PM

#

How do I start the service then? Currently my code "ends" with OnApplicationPause() {}

robust hamlet Aug 8, 2019, 12:45 PM

#

I already explained in the previous message

#

You will be using Android classes directly, not Unity

tender adder Aug 8, 2019, 12:46 PM

Hi, we're on the last hurdle of our first ever game, we're currently trying to set up IAP for IOS mobile, I have done all of the steps in App Store Connect for setting up the products, and are now trying to use Unity's Codeless IAP. We MIGHT have got it working, we need to do some testing. But one thing that is confusing is that we can only specify prices in Dollars on Unity Codeless IAP Buttons, though our prices are in GBP on App Store Connect. Does anyone know how to set prices to GBP in Unity or will it convert automatically? Any tutorials/extra info on the easiest ways of setting up IAP for IOS would be fantastic. Thanks
