That is exacly what happened

But Im not sure if I should do something

[pulsar folio]

I think you can dmca them

[uncut lark]

But if I am getting money 😄

[pulsar folio]

if you're getting money then you can just leave it

[uncut lark]

Thank you for helping, seems like I will have to find that site first

[pulsar folio]

no problem

[glossy sluice]

So I am trying to make a mobile game for iOS and it looks all good on the computer but when it’s on iPad it is pixelated and bad looking

[glossy sluice]

you gotta set up the anchors and also set the canvas scaler to scale with screen size 🙂

i want to read a barcode with a phone but i do not know where to start. does anyone have some advise?

[quartz kernel]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=unity+read+barcode

[viral pollen]

thanks again, sorry for the late reply. I guess it is fine with android version using the same package name and keystore to sign, but do you know about ios?

not in my case 😂

[robust hamlet]

It should be the same, using same bundle identifier and certificate

[river escarp]

Does anyone else have issues with TMP Field for mobile devices? The text submission doesn't work

[fast vale]

Is device simulator package stable? Otherwise is there a good tutorial on how to test with android?

[tough relic]

How does one go about deep linking (not html link reference on a webpage). For example I want to send a link via Whatsapp to a friend who has the same app. And tapping on that link launches the app (with or without parameters).
The deep linking tutorial works if it is a reference from a browser, but not as a link (it is not even recognised as a link) in whatsapp.

[warm adder]

@fast vale I was using it on 2020.2.6 to test safe areas and it was stable, didnt see any errors or bugs, it's documentation pretty much shows how to start with it

[pale cradle]

hi guys I have the follwing question:
I want to create an andorid game and connected my android phone with the PC. I downloaded the SDK, NDK and JDK Files and clicked on "Build". I dont have any Errors, but when I want to run the game, my Phone wont show the game in the Unity Remote app. Can someone help me? 😄

Unity cant find my device too

here are my paths

thanks 🙂

[warm adder]

Do you have USB Debuggins enabled on your phone?

[pale cradle]

yes

I manualy enabled it

[quartz kernel]

When you build the app doesn't show up in unity remote, it is listed like all other apps

However the 'build' button does not install the app to your phone automatically, 'build and run' does that

Is your phone listed under the build settings? Cause it seems like something is still missing

[sharp hare]

can someone help me with this when i try to export the game it says this and i dont know how to solve this problem

[frozen vapor]

What is your current package name?

[sharp hare]

where can i find my package name ?

[frozen vapor]

Can you find Player settings?

[sharp hare]

yes

[frozen vapor]

Do you see the tab with the Android icon?

[sharp hare]

yes

[frozen vapor]

It should be in other settings under identification

[sharp hare]

found it and the issue the packagename was still default

thanks

[pale cradle]

do you guys know how to set up a button in Unity on android? Its really important thanks!

[ocean quest]

Anyone have this kind of android build issue with plugins?

> Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [androidx.core:core:1.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86
      is also present at [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91 value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory).
      Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:5:3-83 to override.' ```

[copper rover]

I got that code working but now when I call showUnityWindow nothing happens

[copper rover]

Anybody have an idea?

I would really like to implement this in Swift if possible!

[robust hamlet]

@ocean quest the fix for your issue is by applying the thing mentioned in Suggestion section

[ocean quest]

yes unfortunately dealing with android manifests with multiple plugins is something I am struggling with - I think one library needs updating to androidx

[robust hamlet]

No, the error you are getting is because you have two or more manifests which are trying to set a value for key and merging manifests fails because of that

You should add this: tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory" to your <application> tag in your main AndroidManifest.xml

[ocean quest]

ok thanks for that. I have no main manifest though as gradle built - individual plugins may have one

[robust hamlet]

Check if you have a manifest file inside Assets/Plugins/Android/ folder

that should be your main manifest file

[ocean quest]

just a gradle file

[robust hamlet]

You can create one by hand

[ocean quest]

it needs more than that line - it needs a version. I wish unity has more plugins inbuilt

[pale cradle]

Whats wrong with this android button script? ```using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class DotScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject DotCanvas;
public GameObject pauseMenuUI;
public GameObject GameMenu;
// Start is called before the first frame

public void DotEnter()
{
    DotCanvas.SetActive(false);
    GameMenu.SetActive(true);
}
public void Pause()
{
    pauseMenuUI.SetActive(true);
    Time.timeScale = 0f;
}

}

[robust hamlet]

@ocean quest what kind of version?

@pale cradle it depends what are you trying to do with it and what actually it does and how did you setup the button

[pale cradle]

I just set it up with On Click()

like this

idk if this is right, Im doing it for the first time

[robust hamlet]

you want to call both functions on button click?

[pale cradle]

yes

[ocean quest]

    tools:replace specified at line:5 for attribute android:appComponentFactory, but no new value specified
C:\UnityProjects\Temp\gradleOut\unityLibrary\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml Error:
    Validation failed, exiting```

[pale cradle]

Its possible, isnt it?

[robust hamlet]

Oh, so @ocean quest you need to specify the new value for this key: android:appComponentFactory . Try this:

android:appComponentFactory="androidx" tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"

@pale cradle yes, it is possible

[pale cradle]

do you know what Iam doing wrong? I just want to get my button to work 😦

[robust hamlet]

Can't really tell what's wrong with that information. If the button is visible in your game maybe try the simples way to let it call a function which only prints some logs to see if it works

[pale cradle]

yeah, I already did that but nothing is printing

[ocean quest]

just end up back where I started. like this?

                  android:theme="@style/UnityThemeSelector"
                  android:appComponentFactory="androidx"
                  tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory">```

[robust hamlet]

Place that in your <application> tag, not <actvity> .

Do you have tools declared in your <manifest> tag?

[ocean quest]

doh ok but in an xml tag or how?

no tools declared

[robust hamlet]

You should add that too, like this:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

And the changes like:

<application <!-- The rest of the params --> android:appComponentFactory="androidx" tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory">

[ocean quest]

doh: AndroidManifest.xml:4:3-15:17 Warning:
application@android:appComponentFactory was tagged at AndroidManifest.xml:4 to replace other declarations but no other declaration present

[robust hamlet]

paste the whole error

[ocean quest]

comes after > Task :unityLibrary:processReleaseManifest in editor log

Execution failed for task ':launcher:checkReleaseDuplicateClasses'.
> 1 exception was raised by workers:
  java.lang.RuntimeException: Duplicate class android.support.v4.app.INotificationSideChannel found in modules classes.jar (androidx.core:core:1.0.0) and classes.jar (com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0)

  Duplicate class android.support.v4.......```

[robust hamlet]

I think you should get rid of that android.support.v4 class since it's already a very old library and not maintained

all new Android libraries are placed in androidx packages / libs

Is there any particular reason you are using it or it comes with another plugin you use?

[ocean quest]

yes if I can find it - its all in the plugins, I am not insisting on any particular libs

[robust hamlet]

Which plugins do you have in your project?

[ocean quest]

voxelbuster's mobile stuff is main one but was trying a VR one - maybe the cause

[robust hamlet]

You can try to 'hack' it, never used their plugin, but every android lib dependency is declared inside an xml file (most of the time). So you can check if they have a file placed somewhere like: VoxelBusters/Editor/...AndroidDependencies.xml

where you will see android.support.v4 lib included, you can try to comment there lines to see if it will build

[ocean quest]

it is a nasty plugin, they have a post build step! Anyway will try and find source of it indeed!

[robust hamlet]

Are you using the latest version of that asset?

[ocean quest]

as new as I can - I'm gonna back to adding plugins one by one to check compatibility

[pale cradle]

Hi Im new in Unity mobile and want to add a button. But the button wont work with this script on it. Can someone PLEASE help me 😦 thanks :

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class DotScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject DotCanvas;
    public GameObject GameMenu;
    // Start is called before the first frame 

    
    public void DotEnter()
    {
        print("DotEnter");
        DotCanvas.SetActive(false);
        GameMenu.SetActive(true);
    }
    public void Pause()
    {
        print("pause");
        //Time.timeScale = 0f;
    }
}

[quartz kernel]

Does it work in editor?

[pale cradle]

you mean in the console?

Im getting no Errors and it wont print anything :/

[quartz kernel]

Does the button change appearance when you hover over it

[pale cradle]

no, nothing

[quartz kernel]

Then there's probably something blocking it

Select your Event System and it should tell you what gameobject is currently active

[pale cradle]

should I use onClick() or EventTrigger?

[pale cradle]

ok I can send you a screenshot

there it is

[quartz kernel]

... right

So have you read the warning?

[pale cradle]

yes

This is how my Eventsystem does look like now

[ocean quest]

dont do print() do Debug.Log("blah");

[pale cradle]

ok I will try it

It doesnt work 😦

maybe its because I should use EventTrigger

[ocean quest]

no - show the rest of the inspector

[pale cradle]

it only works with my mouse but not with touch

[pale cradle]

here is the rest of my Button Inspector

[ocean quest]

hmm, seems like something blocking it - does it color change when you roll over and click it?

(the button)

[pale cradle]

when Im clicking with my mouse on the button, everything works but with touch nothing happens

[pale cradle]

no- only with my mouse

[ocean quest]

so it works in the editor?

[pale cradle]

yes

with mouse only

[ocean quest]

well touch will not work on desktop, only on a mobile device

[pale cradle]

I connected my phone

[ocean quest]

ok but that is on the phone - you did build & run right?

[pale cradle]

yes I run it

and I can move by touching

but the button wont work

[ocean quest]

see Ole's message and check out your input setup

[pale cradle]

do you mean this one here?

[ocean quest]

should look like this:

[robust hamlet]

He is using the new input system, that's why it's different

[ocean quest]

ah ok - I pass!

[robust hamlet]

post a screenshot of your Canvas hierarchy

and if it's possible your design

[pale cradle]

this is my Hierachy

[robust hamlet]

I guess MenuSheet is a Canvas object?

[pale cradle]

yes

[robust hamlet]

Can you show MenuSheet's properties?

[pale cradle]

do you mean this one here?

[robust hamlet]

everything seems ok, can't really tell what can cause this issue, maybe the other canvas is blocking the touch events if it has lower sort order or they are overlapping somehow

[pale cradle]

nah I dont think thats the problem, because it is working with Mouse but not with touch 😦

[robust hamlet]

the second guess will be if you are doing something in your Input Actions file

[pale cradle]

what do you mean?

[robust hamlet]

Since you are using the new Input System I guess you have input actions file?

[pale cradle]

I will just remove the new Input System

I have an error now

❓ Does anyone have any pointers on how to override Android Navigation Bars buttons (Back, Home, Recent Button) to require 2 clicks to exit the app?
I notice that some games do that, but I don't know where exactly to start. E.g.: Pokémon Go, Fire Emblem Heroes.

[robust hamlet]

@versed swallow You can't override Home & Recent Apps buttons in Android by default

but in order to override Back button if I am not mistaken you should listen for:
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Escape)) { Debug.Log("Escape key is being pressed");}

This is what get fired when you press Back button in Android

[versed swallow]

I thought that, but some apps require you to press those buttons twice to exit the app

I know how to handle the Escape button, that's not the issue.

Again, run Pokémon Go and you'll understand what I mean.

[robust hamlet]

And what's the problem with that? Add a counter, show dialog or toast to show the user a message he needs to press it twice and that's it

[versed swallow]

No problem with that, but that's not what the original question is about

[robust hamlet]

I've already answered your original question, not sure why you don't understand it.
I just installed Pokemon Go and saw that they override only onBackPressed. You can't override Home / Recent Apps buttons by default on a system level in Android.

So what Pokemon Go do is they listen for Escape key press, once it's pressed show a quit /close dialog and when the user selects Quit -> kill the app, otherwise just hide the dialog

I've done it the same way in a few apps for Android

A simple example:
https://pastebin.com/ZRmkiXFQ

[versed swallow]

At least on my device they override Home and Recent buttons as well

I'll upload a video showing this:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ehjBwbiSVu8XoaH9yF4O9iz-y2kDk9wM/view?usp=sharing

[robust hamlet]

can't see the video

[versed swallow]

Oops, sorry. Fixed.

[robust hamlet]

You sure it's not from your device's settings?

Or maybe Xiaomi's Android version can let the developers override that

[versed swallow]

Yeah, I'm starting to suspect that

It's not from my device settings, since this doesn't happen in our game

Some apps use this as well

[lethal plover]

Hello fellow GameDevs! I've just managed to get my first game build for iOS on my iPhone. Now i'm desperate because i have no idea how i can profile my game on my phone to see the actual performance on the end device. Is it possible with 3rd party apps ? I have absolute no idea and i cant really find anything specific via google. My game is running with 400fps on PC but i noticed some delay on my phone which is why i need some tools to see what might be different on the phone. Thanks alot ❤️

Hi, I am currently working on turning a .jar to a .app for max and it’s success but since I’m hosting the .app download from a website it says unknown developer and I know that goes away when you get a certificate from apple which are free if u have a have a paid developer account, was wondering if someone was interested in this that I’m doing and if so I can share more details and you possible give me a certificate for my .app

Posting here since most iOS (mobile) devs have paid developer accounts since that’s the only way to get app on apple store

[tough relic]

Anyone here knows how 'Force iOS speaker when recording' actually works? My game has voice chat features but on iOS if the player isn't using headphones, unity/ios redirects sound to ear/headphones. doing the forcing solves that issue, but if I add that to the build, players can only use speakers, rendering headphones useless. Is there a way to programmatically do the forcing, maybe at the start of my game to let the player have a choice of using speaker or headset?

[latent osprey]

is this for end user purposes or your purposes?

you can definitely stream full screen from an iOS device plugged into a computer

that's how people usually do it

[forest jacinth]

why is this positioned right here, but when I build on the phone, the button is sort of in the middle of the screen?

[random magnet]

@latent osprey I mean stream directly from the app, the way that Steamlabs mobile does it.

[tepid nest]

I have a car object (one from POLYGON assets). I want to have multiple colors of this car in-game. So in other words, I want to have 10 objects of the same model but with different colors.
Option 1)
I will use multiple textures and all objects will be using different textures. (this approach have two minuses: textures will give some extra size to .apk and setPasses and also draw calls will be increased)

Option 2)
I will use multiple objects with one texture, so all objects will be using the same material and texture. (this approach will also have two minuses: meshes will give some extra size to .apk and also draw calls will be increased)

Is there any other approach to resolve my problem?

[frozen vapor]

Why is the size of the mesh or draw calls increasing with the second option?

[tepid nest]

Because I will have 10 mesh'es instead of one (each one is about 1mb).

[robust hamlet]

You can have one mesh with one texture and just change the offset with different materials. A few materials with same shader and just different settings with enabled GPU Instancint shouldn't be any problem

anyone here experienced with google play setup?

im mostly wondering if there's a way to save key value pairs to a players google drive, similar to the way player prefs works, I dont need the whole game state, just a couple keys and true/false or 0/1

[dire magnet]

Well there's this: https://developers.google.com/games/services/common/concepts/savedgames#saved_game_metadata
But it only lets you save an unstructured binary file. Easy enough to make simple key/value pairs in there though.

[faint tree]

@dire magnet I followed a similar tutorial and used json to serialize everything away, but building with play games seems to break everything

[dire magnet]

break things how?

[faint tree]

It wont compile, I'll have to look back at it in a few for the actual error

It was saying something about the google play module was deprecated though

Something deep I didnt feel i should be hacking up

[glossy sluice]

can i make an android version and a pc version in the same project?

[quartz kernel]

Yes @glossy sluice you can switch build targets, but you need to handle the different input modes

[glossy sluice]

so it can be in the same project? different scene or?

[quartz kernel]

It's entirely up to you how to handle it

If the gameplay is exactly the same except for input methods you can probably use the same scene

[faint tree]

@dire magnet sorry for the delay hope youre still around

i just cleared the log and tried to build again here is the screenshot of the errors, i can send the rest when you want how you want if you can help, just didn't want to blow up the server.

i've gotten this same set of errors from SEVERAL tutorials, only thing in common was gpgs. the same thing happened with setting up admob with gpgs, i got around that by dumping out and switching to unity ads(way easier btw) but I need to save data to the cloud on android and this seems like the obvious answer i just can't figure out how it works i guess.

Hello community, I just profiled my android game in Profiler and in Memory Module I found a lot of memory is being used by something written here as UNITY as highlighted in image. I profiled this data directly on target device through release build. And I am not sure if this UNITY process utilizing memory is something related to only profiling or will this memory be used on End User device as well bu UNITY process?

[faint tree]

i wouldn't think so

usually I thought that statistic referred to the editor

could try building it and seeing your total usage on the device?

but unity gives these errors

can anyone explane these errors

ı cant fix

[raw plank]

it failed

idk why tho xD

I would google the errors

[faint tree]

@vernal estuary there's a setting in build that allows for splitting the app into both arm7 and arm64, there's also something above it that has options of "mono" and like ilc2 or something

you need the ilc2 and to build BOTH arm7 and 64

[vernal estuary]

oh nice, thanks 🙂

then just test whichever works

I can put additional modifier as 10^-2, but problem starts when i zoom in or zoom out - speed also should be changed, but its take a lot of scripting. Maybe someone have a lot simpler solution?

[slate umbra]

Hello guys i let you my post in here to see if any mobile developer/programmer can help me with the problem.

[trail saddle]

can someone please help me? my unity remote doesnt show the game aaa

[slate umbra]

the unity remote only show for a few seconds and stops working for me

[somber jungle]

good day everyone. Ive been trying to connect Firebase and facebook for my mobile game. But Im getting an error " The supplied auth credential is malformed or has expired." Even tho I am able to log in facebook and get access.

[frozen vapor]

@slate umbra You don't need to repost the question when it's still on screen.
You are more likely to get answers if you boil it down to the part you are having problems with, which appears to be "How to change Vector3 over time" or "Moving a transform over time".

[livid tartan]

Hy everyone, I have a problem with Unity Ads. Indeed, the test mode of Unity Ads works well in the editor (only for banners although they are very small, the videos simply don't work) but my ads do not display on my Android device after a Build & Run. Visibly in the Cache folder, the ads have been downloaded. I use the latest version of the Ads 3.7.0 package. In the logs the only error I have visibly is the following: 03-30 10:37:11.661 18662 18683 D UnityAds: com.unity3d.services.core.device.Storage.sendEvent() (line:86) :: Couldn't send storage event to WebApp. I have tried all the solutions proposed on the Internet without success... Does anyone have an idea? My version of Unity is 2021.1.0b4

[slate umbra]

Yes, im trying the Vetor3.MoveTowards

Vector3*

[faint tree]

@livid tartan i have good news, bad news, and worse news lol

good news, I've seen that issue

bad news, can't find my notes on overcoming it

worse news after integrating unity ads successfully, I still have build errors for gpg so if unity was a way around google services... you will hit another show stopper

specifically because ads are not the only google play libraries you need to access to build a successful app (leaderboards etc) I have not yet found a definitive guide on integrating ads and services minus the documentation for each piece which must be outdated because only half of it is even correct about the structure of the editor. if I'm remembering correctly though your specific issue is resolved one of 3 ways, changing the webhook url/game id, you forgot to initialize OR call show on your ad, or uninstall and reimport the unity ad module

could someone who has successfully published a game to the play store please post steps to integrating ads and google play services, I don't think I'd be alone in benifitting

I'm sure step one is "spell basic words correctly" but ah well

[slate umbra]

Guys i have a problem with the unity remote 5 app

When i press play

it works for 2 seconds and then stops

anyone knows why is this happening?

[livid tartan]

Thank you for your advice, with your indications and my research, I finally managed to display a banner ad that seems to work however only by connecting with a VPN in Atlanta (USA) I have since my connection in France, no ads are displayed ... In addition, no video ads seem to be available wherever I am...

[faint tree]

oh odd, could be a localization issue?

have you checked unity admob for local?

[livid tartan]

I haven't used Admob so far but the Unity Advertisments integration from the package manager, is there any chance it will work better if I use AdMob?

[faint tree]

possibly, possibly not, i had trouble integrating admob directly and used unity with mediation instead. I thought in unity's ad interface there was a way to choose region

[livid tartan]

I see, unfortunately, no, it is not possible to select the region obviously... I still can't find a solution... I'll try to look a little bit more or maybe I'll try with Google AdMob if it still doesn't work... Do you have any other possible leads to explore? Anyway, thanks a lot for your help! 🙂

[slate umbra]

Unity Remote 5 is working just 2 seconds then stops any idea?

[livid tartan]

I'm sorry I don't use this app ><

Is there a list somewhere of what things in URP are supported for mobile?

I know support ≠ optimization requirements

Also would be nice to know what things have been more optimized in URP for mobile vs Standard.

ahh ok I just found the postprocessing in URP page that says what's best for mobile in that regard, so that helps.

[shrewd estuary]

does anybody know how i can make a good mobile character controller in unity
(im new to unity)

[floral spire]

ugh. has anyone successfully triggered the ios 14 local network access popup? I've tried like 5 different ways and always get "no route to host" instead of actually triggering the popup so i can ping my router, etc.

[frozen vapor]

@shrewd estuary You'll find better material if you separate the input method and behaviour.

[night basalt]

Some suggest using mobile/vertex lit shader for mobile games. I tried switching to that, but it appears pink. I can't get it to work. Anyone want to give it a try and see if mobile/vertexlit works for you?

[patent gorge]

What is your render pipeline and Unity version

[night basalt]

Unity 2020.2.6f1 and URP

[dire magnet]

gotta use a URP compatible shader

[night basalt]

oh ok, so no mobile shader then. But half the optimizing articles/videos tell me I should use the mobile shaders 😦

[dire magnet]

you can do vertex lit shaders in URP

they just have to be URP compatible

[faint tree]

was it after importing google play services you got this?

@patent agate

[vast kernel]

Anyone have any tips on "tap to move" controls?

[night basalt]

Got it, thanks. So for mobile right now, Vertex lit is the most effecient?

[queen nova]

Has Unity integrated their own bluetooth solution yet?

[glossy sluice]

Hello, I would like to ask about the best option for user authentication and leaderboard in Android and IOS. I want to use (1 option for 2 platforms) is it possible to do it?

[patent agate]

yes exactly

i am still stuck with this error

idk how to resolve this

do you have any idea how to resolve this?

[latent osprey]

are you sure you want authentication? leaderboards are available in the Unity.Social namespace

[latent osprey]

?

[latent osprey]

use EventSystem

[latent osprey]

that's unfortunate. try changing your bundle identifier every time you make a change that you think could affect the appearance of that popup, because ios only shows those prompts once. otherwise, i feel like this is in google

[glossy sluice]

I want universal login and scoreboards for both platforms. I am currently using firebase

[latent osprey]

🤦‍♂️ firebase, but why?

why do you need login?

do you just need scoreboards

[glossy sluice]

Because My game is multiplayer

[latent osprey]

so you want "universal login and scoreboards and multiplayer"

what is the game?

[latent osprey]

on modern devices, focus on testing on device. the iphone 12 is very, very fast

[night basalt]

I don't have a 'modern' device. My only test device right now is a samsung s8.

It's not too old, so I would think if I can 30 fps on it, I can easily make it work on newer devices

[floral spire]

thanks for the reply! i figured it out... i was building with iOS SDK 14.2. I updated to 14.4 and everything is working as expected.

[latent osprey]

great 🙂

[patent agate]

hey @latent osprey thanks for your help 🙂 i appreciate it

[faint tree]

@patent agate howd you fix?? I need cloud save

I have the same error

[glossy sluice]

@latent osprey sorry, I was busy. Well I want give possible connect account with google

I didn't publish yet

[patent agate]

oh its pretty easy sec

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55591958/flutter-firestore-causing-d8-cannot-fit-requested-classes-in-a-single-dex-file

use these multi dexing properties

put them in your launcher gradle file

you can get them from your build -> playersettings -> publishing settings

just add the properties to gradle and just try to build it it will run 😄

[faint tree]

First new lead in 2 weeks, I'll give it a try when I get in front of my other pc thanks for the hope

[patent agate]

haha i understand took me 3 days to resolve all this too xD

[glossy sluice]

So i made few panels in my scene to check resolution on different phones but it keeps losing its original pading when i change resolution, i set anchor points on objects but still can't figure this out

all res should be like in the middle picture

[shrewd estuary]

hey guys i want somebody to help me with a single line of code
so basically im working on a mobile FPS and i made a shooting script for PC and i wanna switch it to mobile

        {
            nextTimeToFire = Time.time + 1f / fireRate;
            Shoot();
        }```

thats it
and i wanna change the if statement to make it respond to a UI button
instead of the Fire1(Left click)
does any body know how

[patent gorge]

Instead of an if, you want a dedicated function for your thing

And then you can hook that into the button OnClick()

[lofty island]

I was trying to implement In App Purchase in my game and I got this error. Now I cant build my apk. Can anyone please help me?

[still turret]

ads are not working

how can I fix it

[untold tartan]

[obsidian yew]

I'm looking for a simple template for a 2D mobile game, camera, UI, basic setup, where should I look for?

[neon thicket]

Google, really. Could also check the Unity Asset store, but you'll be hard pressed to find a full complete ready to go project, since that's not how game development works.

[glossy sluice]

Anyone has a clue how to hide the input box over the keyboard on android and iOS while typing in an input field?

[obsidian yew]

When using Sprite Atlas for mobile development. If I want to reference to one of the Sprites in the Sprite Atlas, do I really have to use GetSprite(name)? What if I try to reference one of the textures that are "outside" of the Sprite Atlas, will the Unity figure it out what I meant and keep it optimized?

I guess I could reference the texture, and use the name of the texture from the code and access the same texture from the Sprite Atlas...

[short badger]

hey I debug my android game on my phone and the main splash screen will not auto-rotate while loading... is there a way to fix this

[short badger]

anything?

[forest jacinth]

is there a way I can let people test my app on their phones

I want to send it out to people

IOS?

(without creating a developer account)

[thorny lintel]

@forest jacinth ofcourse it's possible

just send the folder to them

and they will be able to run the game

[patent gorge]

Not on their phone

[thorny lintel]

oh that's only desktop?

[patent gorge]

Android yes, iOS no

[thorny lintel]

oh yeah on android its just the apk

I never did the iOS one I thought it's similair

[patent gorge]

Yeah, iOS apps have to have a signed certificate from your developer account to run

[thorny lintel]

That sucks

[patent gorge]

You can sideload them if you jailbreak your device, but that's not reasonable to ask for gameplay testers

[patent gorge]

However, you don't need to pay the $99 to test apps on devices. You do need to pay the $99 once you want to publish to the app store

lol clicked the wrong message to respond to. eh, all the same

The free apple developer account can create apps for testing purposes

But as far as I'm aware, if you want to completely avoid an apple developer account, even a free one. Then jailbreaking the device is your only means.

[forest jacinth]

@patent gorge oh thanks dude

Hello, does anyone have idea why my test ads stopped working after moving project to 2020.2.1f1. I updated ads package and still not working

[vast kernel]

Super noob stuff: Guys I'm trying to get unity remote to work... Do I need the Android Studio also installed on the pc?

[lean crest]

I dont think so. Go to player setting>editor>device>any android device.

And is USB Debugging on developer turned on in your device?

[vast kernel]

Hi, yes I had to turn the dev mode on, also should it just just work with the play button, or do I need to build and run the file?

[lean crest]

Just with the play button

[vast kernel]

Hmmm, nope but it's working if I build and run. Ut I guess that means I'm making the entire game anyway?

[junior geode]

Does anyone have any experience in android in app purchasing on unity?

[hybrid hill]

It should work with the play button as long as you have the Unity Remote app running on your phone

[covert geyser]

[pseudo moat]

can you publish I0S game with windows

[patent gorge]

You'll need a mac for at least the building/compilation portion of the app

You can do development on Windows and borrow a mac for the build, but it can't be done using 100% windows

[pseudo moat]

Thanks

Do i need to duplicate the project to make an IOS build ?

[patent gorge]

Shouldn't have to, no. You'll want to install the iOS build module, when given the options of what you want to install with your unity version

When building for iOS in Unity, it will generate an XCode project for you

That XCode project has to be opened on a Mac

[pseudo moat]

Okay, but i will need to switch the build from android to mac

[quartz kernel]

Yes

Is it possible for anyone to give me the NDK r21d download link, please?
Or a different version that'll help.

Any support is appreciated.

Any idea why my game is (almost) completely black on iOS simulators? Whenever I run it, I can hear the BGM, my "consent dialog popup" appears and after I confirm, everything is black.

[royal timber]

Can someone help me ? why this doesnt work ?

okay i got it 😄

Is there way how to change color of main camera in this way ? i need store color of backG because they must buy it for money

[dire magnet]

Why are you trying to do Color.PlayerPrefs?

Instead of just PlayerPrefs

also why are you trying to assign a color from SetString instead of GetString

[royal timber]

becuase i want save save color in playerprefs

string is name of color

which is stored

[dire magnet]

I think you are confused

[royal timber]

littlebit

[dire magnet]

Color.PlayerPrefs does not exist
PlayerPrefs.SetString Writes a value into PlayerPrefs, it doesn't retrieve an existing value
Color and string are different data types

[royal timber]

i know this.. I say "Is there way how to change color of main camera in this way"

I want store some color string like : red, green.. and use this stored string into Color.

i know Color.Red and this

[dire magnet]

Don't store it as a string

[royal timber]

and how ?

[dire magnet]

Or at least, not the string red

store it as like a hex color string

[royal timber]

and how i can use string in Color. ?

[dire magnet]

hmm doesnt loiok like unity provides an easy way to do it

Oh wait we have this 😄 https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ColorUtility.html

[royal timber]

hmm

[dire magnet]

So you can do like:

Color colorToSave = cam.backgroundColor;
string colorString = ColorUtility.ToHtmlStringRGBA(colorToSave);
PlayerPrefs.SetString(backG, colorString);

^That will save it

[royal timber]

okay i will try.. Thanks

[dire magnet]

then to load you do:

string loadedColorString = PlayerPrefs.GetString("backG", "");
Color loadedColor;
if (!ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString(loadedColorString, out loadedColor) {
  loadedColor = Color.red;
}
cam.backgroundColor = loadedColor;```

[royal timber]

Thanks mate ❤️

[dire magnet]

try it out see how it goes

[royal timber]

yep i go

but loading is looong 💤

😄

It doesnt work.. But thanks.. Now i know littlebit how do it..

Is there a way to explicitly set resolution for an android handset? I'm finding that the draw buffer sizes allocated by Unity don't actually match the native resolution of the phone (tested on a Galaxy A10)

[dense fiber]

someone here?

[dusty hornet]

hello - lmk if this isn't the best channel but it's the closest thing I could see in the channel list. I'm trying to wrap my head around publishing Android builds on the Play Console (I'm a total noob at this side of things and all the stuff around certificates and signing is a bit over my head). I opted in to letting Google Play sign my releases, and was able to get a version up for closed testing, but a couple of weeks later I'm trying to upload a new build and having an error that the certificates don't match. I've tried Googling the problem but haven't come across any useful solutions other than "don't let Google Play manage signing" and/or "you have to create a new project in the Play Console." I'm so confused - any advice would be a big help! I don't mind creating a new project at this stage, I just don't know how to avoid the problem happening again.

[safe fiber]

Anyone have some good guidance on iterative building for iOS? I like VisualStudio so currently I'm using a mapped drive so xcode can build straight from my windows workstation.

Everything works, but when unity builds the xcode project it overwrites all the files, which strips the signing information.

Not a major hurdle, but it's like 5 extra clicks in xcode I'd rather not do every time.

[faint tree]

@dusty hornet check the build settings for "keystore" and make sure its set still, if not you need to find your keystore again, if it is then you just need to put your pwd in again

does anyont know if there's a way to check progress on incremental achievements for gpg?

[dusty hornet]

Thanks for the help. I don't know if I had a keystore file from when I first uploaded the game - is that something I would 100% have had to do, even if I'm using the Play App signing option? It seems like I need an upload key or something but I don't know what that is - basically point 1 on this article is where I am, but I don't understand about the upload key or where that would be (I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything in Android Studio or any command line stuff when I uploaded the first version) https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/answers-to-common-questions-about-app-signing-by-google-play-b28fef836af0

[faint tree]

@dusty hornet. Dev consol, if im remembering right, its the sha-1

I think you can download it

If you did already, in player settings theres a custom keystore option, click browse and go to your project settings? Folder, at least thats where mine was

I also suggest moving it somewhere more secure

[pseudo moat]

Just launched my new game

The game runs on most devices but crashes in others. How can I fix this

[robust hamlet]

@pseudo moat

1. Find the issue, stacktrace or anything which will give you more information about the crash!
2. With info from 1, try to find the exact reason why it's crashing on those devices.
3. If it's not so simple, try to Google the issue.
4. If there is no information about the issue you have, try stackoverflow / unity forum with giving as much information as you can about the issue which you have. Nobody can help you how to fix an issue which they doesn't know anything about.
5. Fix it.

Anyone has some tips for making a screen look good on both game and phone? currently the difference is really crazy and I keep having to build just to check it on the phone

[limber jasper]

Hey guys, I just tried submitting my game to the iOS apps tore but it gave me this message.

[neon thicket]

It means after review, it wasn't considered worth having on the app store, because it doesn't do anything useful or provide meaningful entertainment.

Look at 4.2 in the guidelines;
https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

What is your app about?

[limber jasper]

Can I send you information through dm, I don't feel comfortable discussing the concept here.

[neon thicket]

I mean, I can't help you, I don't work for the app store.

But you can appeal your rejection on connect.

[limber jasper]

I made the app as more of a portfolio piece.

I wanted people with iOS to try it out but I guess since it's too simple I can have them test it directly.

[neon thicket]

Then that's probably why it's been rejected. If you intend to use it to show potential employers, then you could always adhoc deploy it to their device ... if they're willing.

[limber jasper]

Like getting their informationn

Putting them as a tester

then they can download the build??

[neon thicket]

No, it's a little more involved than that. You can't use Testflight because that also has to go through a submission process, which they'll reject you on.

But you can adhoc deploy, by adding their UDID to your devices on developer.apple.com, and then uploading the IPA somewhere for them to download.

But setting that all up is a bit of a pain ...

If this is a portfolio piece, your best bet is just to make a video of it and show it off that way. Way less of a hassle. 😛

[limber jasper]

Lol

I did that with my other games

I thought it would be easier to do it with a mobile device but apple is pretty strict when it comes to the app store.

[neon thicket]

Very. Android is much easier to send around and test with.

[limber jasper]

Might as well just say the concept of the app, it's a bubble tea game where you suck in all the toppings with your straw.

Of course theres more mechanics but thats the gist of it.

[neon thicket]

I don't see why that couldn't be accepted.

Might just need to make it more production ready first.

[limber jasper]

I guess they want things like a leaderboard or something. There is a game center feature for that so I guess I have to make use of it.

[neon thicket]

You don't need to use game center at all for a game to be on the store.

Anyway, you can appeal and ask for clarification.

[limber jasper]

Sure

I'll do that

[wooden agate]

@neon thicket you seem to have a bit of experience with the apple store. I'm planning on releasing a simple brick breaker game.
What do you think are the chances my game will be accepted?
I know it's not original or anything but it's a game, people enjoying playing similar games, it's not like apps.

[neon thicket]

Just look at the store, there's plenty of clones and knock offs. Just make it payable, polished and not an obvious attempt to grind ads.

[wooden agate]

I'm planning on making it ad-free to being with actually and at no cost, mostly just for experience, so no ad grind nor payable.
Not sure about polished though; how high polished does it have to be?

[neon thicket]

Well, enough that there aren't any bugs. If breaks during review,it'll be rejected.

[wooden agate]

I mean more in the graphics department. I'm more of a programmer but I do everything on my own, so it doesn't look very "high polished" in that context.

[neon thicket]

Nah it's fine. Just go for the minimalist look. 😆

[wooden agate]

hehe yeah that is what I'm aiming for. Cool, thank you! 🙂

[night basalt]

If a joystick on a canvas does not trigger the 'onpointerdown' event, what could I be missing?

Make sure you have an EventSystem added

[amber plume]

my app works fine in the unity dashboard
but when I transfer it to xcode and I get to the page I have my full screen ads on, the page won't turn unless a full screen ad is loaded and plays, the ad loads then closes itself, then moves to the next page, or no ad loads and the page stays there

        {
        if (this.interstitial.IsLoaded()) {
            adcode = "SilverGrams";
    this.interstitial.Show();
   }      else 
                 {
                     SceneManager.LoadScene("SilverGrams");
                 }
    
            
        }

 this is what is supposed to turn the page if the ad is not loaded

public void HandleOnAdClosed(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    MonoBehaviour.print("HandleAdClosed event received");
    SceneManager.LoadScene(adcode);
}

this is what turns the page when ad is closed

[forest jacinth]

@patent gorge you replied to one of my questions about testing apps on ios devices without paying £79 for the developer account how do you go about doing that? 🙂

[amber plume]

@forest jacinth I just build the project without running it, and put it in my mac, run xcode, and run the test emulator

[forest jacinth]

What about trying to get people to test it remotely?

i'm doing a university project with external clients

I want to let them test it

although i'm reaching the end of my tether with it tbh 😄

@forest jacinth not sure, sorry

[pseudo moat]

how do you build ios and andriod of same game smoothly. using the same project. I have windows and macbook. The project is on my windows

[forest jacinth]

You have to transfer your project to your macbook

Download xcode

And build from there

Pretty nightmare situation

[pseudo moat]

thanks, can i also connect it to the unity project in the dashboard

[forest jacinth]

Ye

[pseudo moat]

Oh so i can connect two project to one dashboard ?

[sterile horizon]

Unity says HD phone screens are 640x960 but my phone is 1440x3200. So when making a GUI, which size do I need to make it so it would scale best?

[neon thicket]

You pick a target resolution, a high one, and set your canvas to scale with that.

Then you make your UI elements to scale for that resolution.

[sterile horizon]

so for example starting with my phone's resolution would be a good starting point, and then scale up/down from there

Just learning Unity for mobile and I keep coming up with more ideas to make my game look better, and with each idea, I need to learn how to implement it lol

[neon thicket]

No, don't scale up, scale down. Choose a high reference resolution.

[amber plume]

oh, my problem only seems to apply when translating to xcode

any ideas?

[steel notch]

When I build a Empty Project on Android All unity dlls show resolve error & when I run apk on mobile/emulators app crashed on startup ! :(, any ideas what's the problem ?

[amber plume]

        {

            adcode = "SilverGrams";
    this.interstitial.Show();
   }      else 
                 {
                     SceneManager.LoadScene("SilverGrams");
                 }
    
            
        }

it is ignoring the else function

on ios only

Hi all. I've been working on a game for a few months. Somewhere in the past few days, I seem to have made a change that caused the following. When I open the app (iOS or Android, makes no difference), I first get around 10 seconds of black screen, and then the "Made with Unity" splash screen appears.

I have tried connecting my Android phone to debug this issue, but unfortunately the "You can attach a debugger now" message appears after the 10 seconds of blackness. I found some old (2016) Stack Overflow posts which were ultimately not helpful.

When I run the game in Unity itself, no black screen (and no splash screen, obviously). I've checked the Edit -> Project Settings -> Splash Image section, but I don't see anything strange there. Does this sound familiar to anyone? What could I do to find out what's going on here?

If you need more info, screenshots, I'll happily provide them. I don't want to spam too much text here right away.

[amber plume]

@fresh hull could be your file size is too heavy, but that's just a guess

[fresh hull]

@amber plume looking at my recent builds, the apk was always around 12MB but a few days ago, the size increased to 25MB. Not sure if that's too much, but it's certainly something to look at. I did not add 13MB worth of assets and code. Will investigate further tomorrow; first some sleep.

[junior geode]

Hey guys I'm almost done my mobile game project, I want to add user profile feature. Single sign up with google authentication, email/password input, all that stuff. What sort of considerations would I need to have for properly doing this securely? I'm considering using firebase to store user account info. Do I need some sort of encryption client side to properly send the email/password combo to the server to begin with? How should I go about doing this? Does anyone have any resources?

[rain ruin]

https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/ this should explain everything you need.

[junior geode]

Thanks fab I appreciate it

[lone heron]

Hey everyone! Does anyone know why my game has this problem:
On a few phones I built the game to, the game goes past the 'made with unity' logo and the screen turns black but I can hear the game's background music playing. But on other phones everything is ok.

[neon thicket]

Start by clearing the data/cache for the app on the phone.

[fresh hull]

@amber plume Your remark about file size was not the solution, but the file size did lead to me finding out what happened. I had enabled Developer Build and Wait for Managed Debugger for debugging something while my mobile device was linked to my Mac via a USB-cable, and I did not disable these settings when building a .apk. So that was the problem. Thanks for your reaction 🙂

[lone heron]

Didn't work.

[neon thicket]

Well, then you need to use debugging tools. For example, if you're using Android, you can use the Logcat package from Unity to see what errors are being thrown when run the game.

If iOS, you can do it through xcode.

[silent peak]

Hey everyone, I'm about to be finished with my first "real" game but I'm having a peculiar issue when testing on my device. I hooked up my audio sources to an audio mixer and then made a slider to control the volume. Everything works 100% fine in the editor, but when I test the file on my android, there is no sound at all. I feel like there's something silly I'm missing but does anyone have any suggestions?

[amber plume]

when I transfer my unity project to xcode, pages with full screen ads won't turn unless an ad plays, even if an ad hasn't loaded, it will refuse to go to the next page

        {
        if (this.interstitial.IsLoaded()) {
            adcode = "SilverGrams";
    this.interstitial.Show();
   }      else 
                 {
                     SceneManager.LoadScene("SilverGrams");
                 }
    
            
        }```

it ignores the else function on ios

[silent peak]

haha nevermind, I fixed it. Turns out I had something in the playerprefs in a script I forgot about lol. Thanks anyway

I am trying to setup unity for 2d Mobile locked in portrait mode. How do I know what resolution to set it to? My phone resolution isn't listed and it is much larger than what is listed on unity

Hello

I am making a moble game

I want to know how to use controllers with the game

Like Switch Pro Controller

BTW I have an Android(no idea if that matters or not)

[glossy sluice]

Here is a screenshot

[eager zealot]

That sounds more like an #🖱️┃input-system question than anything to do with mobile; but, why don't you start with google? Using controllers in unity is such a basic topic there's tons of tutorials out there

[glossy sluice]

Ok

[glossy sluice]

Hi all when I add a light to the scene the fps is getting tooo low can someone suggest me a good guide for mobile lighting

[quartz kernel]

The best advice for mobile lighting is don't do it @glossy sluice 😛

You'll see a lot of mobile 3D games are unlit

If you do need it you should bake it

[glossy sluice]

I tried to not use light and tried to lit the game using post processing even that didnt work on device

[glossy sluice]

Unlit? any documentation or tuts to setup and use them?

[quartz kernel]

Unlit means no lighting and shadows

There are videos on youtube about how to do lighting on mobile. I would recommend looking through some of those

[glossy sluice]

surfing youtube couldnt find any complete and indepth ones can suggest some?

[quartz kernel]

I don't have any specific suggestions no

[glossy sluice]

oh okk thanks 🙂

[mild socket]

anyone here use OnDemandRendering before?

when I switch to a different app from my game, then switch back to the game, setting the renderFrameInterval seems to render everything at a faster speed

[drowsy quarry]

Hi Everyone. We are using the Unity As A Library feature on iOS (xcode) but we have a problem. When we build the project on xcode we get the error no such module UnityFramework. It was working 2 days ago and today we can't make it work.
We have followed this tutorial https://medium.com/mop-developers/launch-a-unity-game-from-a-swiftui-ios-app-11a5652ce476 and we have also added UnityFramework.framework to the project. What can it be?

[glossy sluice]

hi ...
does exist a method to modify android manifest to start unity's built app after boot?

[drowsy quarry]

unityFramework is in red. How can I fix it?

[eager zealot]

That just means it doesn't exist at the path that's setup in the project

Check what path it's using, and update it to actually point at where that framework is if needed

Here:

If the path is wrong, change the Location pulldown to whatever makes sense, then hit the Folder icon to the right to find where it exists on-disk

[drowsy quarry]

@eager zealot Thank you, we will test

[neon thicket]

@neat dune No crossposting please.

[wise shadow]

Say I wanted to make a simple book/ magazine browsing game that functions more as a widget on a website

would that be web gl? or whats the smoothest way to have a unity app appear on a webpage without splash screens and or without much loading

[neon thicket]

Use threeJS or another library.

Unity webgl doesn't work on mobile browsers.

[wise shadow]

threeJS got it. thanks @neon thicket by another library you mean?

[neon thicket]

By another library I meant ThreeJS. Basically, not Unity.

If your intention is to make an simple interactive that is for web, and supported on mobile phones, then you need to avoid Unity entirely.

[wise shadow]

Thats a great point

[wet edge]

hey all has anyone here had success building unity from commandline with arkit?

im running into linker errors with xcode

[lofty island]

Is there any way we can check our app-ads.txt is verified?

[eager zealot]

What do you mean? I regularly try out webgl builds people post here with my iPad

[neon thicket]

It works, but it's not officially supported;
Note that Unity WebGL content is not currently supported on mobile devices. It may still work, especially on high-end devices, but many current devices are not powerful enough and don’t have enough memory to support Unity WebGL content well. For this reason, Unity WebGL shows a warning message when trying to load content on mobile browsers (which can be disabled if needed).

[eager zealot]

Gotcha

Interesting, I've never seen a warning either

I'm not disputing your advice at any rate, was just curious

[neon thicket]

I would love for the day it works reliably on all devices. Our client work would be so much better.

[eager zealot]

The main problem I've seen is that some of them seem to ignore clicks entirely for some reason. I dunno if people are turning that off/ignoring it for mobile/tablet or what.

I actually try them out from the mini-browser inside Discord much of the time 🙂

[pseudo moat]

App store is rejecting my app because of this error.

- unable to purchase gems ‘’’

Next Steps

When validating receipts on your server, your server needs to be able to handle a production-signed app getting its receipts from Apple’s test environment. The recommended approach is for your production server to always validate receipts against the production App Store first. If validation fails with the error code "Sandbox receipt used in production," you should validate against the test environment instead. ```

anyone know how to solve it ?

If you have a signed app, you can ask to reset the keystore to google

• https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9842756?hl=en
• https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/contact/key?hl=en
  , if your app is not signed you need to find your password

Hello guys, I kindly need your advice... on my quest 2 prototype I noticed that disabling "compute skinning" decreases considerably the number of draw calls (with skinnedmeshrenderer characters)...

How can I move an object forwards and backwards by moving my phone forwards and backwards?
and for the other directions aswell
I know i have to use the accelerometer but it doesnt work as expected
the objects only moves when tilting the phone
not when i move it forwards

    bool gyroEnabled;
    Gyroscope gyro;

    void Awake() 
    {
        gyroEnabled = EnableGyro();
    }

    bool EnableGyro() 
    {
        if (SystemInfo.supportsGyroscope) 
        {
            gyro = Input.gyro;
            gyro.enabled = true;

            transform.parent.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(90, 90, 0);

            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }

    void Update() 
    {
        if (gyroEnabled) 
        {
            transform.localRotation = gyro.attitude * new Quaternion(0, 0, 1, 0);

            Vector3 acceleration = Input.acceleration;
            Vector3 gyroDir = -transform.up;

            Debug.Log("Accel: " + acceleration + " Gyro: " + gyroDir);

            transform.parent.position += (acceleration - gyroDir) * Time.deltaTime;
        }
    }

this is what i have so far

[quartz kernel]

You are using the gyroscope which only gives you angular values @swift robin, it sounds like you want the accelerometer instead

[swift robin]

@quartz kernel i am using both

Input.acceleration

Hi, I try to stay logged in to Unity with connecting google account. I found https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/unity/manage-users#get_the_currently_signed-in_user this website and try to use AuthStateChanged(object, System.EventArgs). The question is how to use and I'm not quite sure I found the correct function to do this. Could somebody help me with this problem?

[steel star]

Is anyone here knowledgable in Unity's codeless IAP? I have a few small but very specific questions.

[steel star]

Specifically what I'm trying to find out is how IAP is handled cross-platform. In our game we want users to purchase skins, but we don't want it to matter whether they purchased those skins on Android or iOS.

I can't see this working without me storing user-purchases to Firebase or mySQL or something with a full authentication system in place. Unity docs don't seem to mention this very important part, even on the topic of restoring purchases.

So.... this is how I think I need to do it.... can someone tell me if I'm overlooking some Unity magic that I should be using instead?

- user installs my game on Android
- Onboard users through my authentication process (registration/login) via my own firebase or SQL server/database
- this allows them access to the IAP section
- user buys a skin
- app stores the purchase to the user's private entry in my firebase or SQL server/database
- front-end app refreshes, hiding or adjusting UI for any store-items already found in user's SQL entry

- user installs my game on iOS
- they can login thanks to my SQL or firebase server
- they now have access to iAP section
- UI adjusts for any store-items already found in user's firebase or SQL entry

Is that how this works? Or am I overlooking something super obvious??????

[robust hamlet]

There is no other way of "connecting" the purchases on two different operating systems if you don't store them on your own server.

I would suggest just to add some key-value pairs to the user's profile on your own server after a successful purchase so you can check for those values when the user installs your game on another device

[steel star]

thought so, thanks for confirming that

I dont think so, but maybe you can duplicate the iAP item on discounted price, that can only be accessed when they played 100 games

Btw, is it possible on google play store to cross verify a receipt, like playerA verify if playerB's purchase receipt is valid?

Hey guys, I've read a lot different guides talking about performance on mobile. Some say "drawcalls are not important, some say drawcalls MUST be around 50... does someone know a serious guide for this?

some say drawcalls MUST be around 50
not sure about this, my game once hit 100+ drawcalls and still run fine on LGK350.
Also, there wont be exact number since mobile hardware is keep improving, today high polycount will be low poly a few years later...

@lyric frigate It's pretty important part of CPU optimization. Whether that matters in your game (and target spec) depends on whether you are CPU or GPU bound.

hi

if i make a game and publish it on Google play
will Google Play delete it if it has the same or similar idea of another game?

[neon thicket]

Only if it's reported with stolen assets for example. Otherwise, if it's a knockoff of another, most likely not. There's a lot of copy cat games polluting the store.

[glossy sluice]

maybe if the official game is confronting you youll get in trouble, but idk. just wanted to say what ive got in mind

[latent osprey]

IAP isn't handled crossplatform. i wouldn't worry about it though if you're making a singleplayer game. why does it need logins?

it's your responsibility to credit a user for IAP purchases made on android if they login to your game on iOS. but honestly exactly nobody is going to do that

so in my opinion it's a huge waste of your time

it's better to just have a customer service flow to do that

[steel star]

I see. Well it is multiplayer. Ty all the same, it confirms for me that to keep iap cross platform i need to serve keys from my database through login. We have users login to keep kids safe from pedos and stuff etc

[steel star]

I figure that if i didnt care for cross-platform, i would just rely solely on receipts?

Guys I downloaded SDK and NDK via unity hub

[trim turret]

Because you're using the one installed by Unity/Hub, you need to uncheck the box in External Tools that says to use your own custom NDK location.

Then check the default Unity NDK folder to make sure it installed correctly.

Posted this in general Unity ...before I saw this subgroup

Is there a way to have UNITY behave the exact same way in the editor as when you make a build?
Because everything works perfectly (gamelogic) in the editor (am working on an Android game) ...but it goes apeshit in the build.

Now I understand that graphic fidelity takes a hit on mobile ... but collision logic should just work right?
In case you are wondering, based on collision data I have build logic ... and I have spend days refining it and it works perfectly in the editor ... on mobile it doesn't ...

Is there some setting somewhere ...where I can specify this behavior or where I need to set something?
I mean how can you implement logic if the logic doesn't apply within the same engine/framework?...

[eager zealot]

Logic should behave the same way in both, but that doesn't mean you can't have bugs that only occur in one environment or another. For instance, your collision problem might be caused by a fast moving object. Look up "continuous collision"

[glossy sluice]

Using the old input system how would I make buttons act like keyboard keys?

[agile iron]

If input getkeydown keycode.X do stuff

Is that what you mean @glossy sluice

?

[glossy sluice]

No so a button gameobject when pressed act like a keyboard key

[latent osprey]

you have to write your own input system like thing

that abstracts away the input method

[glossy sluice]

Darn

[frozen vapor]

I believe you can inject input into the new input system to lessen that work

[glad quiver]

If anyone has been facing similar issues.

Step one is to forget about the Unity Editor .. it doesn't really work on precise things, so don't refine based on behavior you see in playmode ... which may have been obvious to some..or most ... but it was news to me... .

What I did , is I created a development build and read out the values from the android build just as if I was doing things in the editor ... and I found out that after a yield statement (waitforseconds) ... no matter what value I filled in for time, the Android build ALWAYS started with the else if statement.

So what I did is I created a counter :

int _intValue = 30;

IENumerator SomeFunction()

if(_intValue >= 0)
{ execute code I want executed first}
else if(_intValue <0)
{ execute other Code}

_intValue -=1;

Hope it helps!

I'm assuming the List is just an AndroidJavaObject (so I can call size() and get() on it), but when I call notificationManager.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getNotificationChannels") I get an exception saying the method "getNotificationChannels" doesn't exist. I can only assume it has something to do with the return type signature, since the method is valid and non-static per documentation https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/app/NotificationManagerCompat

I know the NotificationManagerCompat object is valid because I can Call<bool>("areNotificationsEnabled") and that method works fine.

hey all! anyone knows about rewarded adds? if so, i could use some guidance right now

[rain leaf]

what kind of guidance? you only need to

• initialize ads service
• add callback to reward player when rewarded ads is done playing
• if ads ready and ads button clicked, show ads

[short badger]

why doesn't the unity splash screen auto rotate when in landscape and the device is flipped

[trim turret]

What orientations do you allow in Player Settings for Auto Rotation?

[short badger]

landscape left/right

when the game opens after the launch screen the game rotates but the splash screen doesnt before the game loads

Hi,can someone help me out in how to trace the error thanks

[robust hamlet]

More input will be needed for this crash @wispy needle

[meager bear]

anyone having problems with the shadows not showing in URP on mobile?

They work in my editor :/

so weird .. 😦

[wispy needle]

can you pls let me know.what type of input do you need about the unity project

[quartz kernel]

Make sure you've got the same quality level set in your preferences as you're building for @meager bear

[knotty wolf]

Hiho! Is there a way to use mobile keyboard when using Unity Remote 5 to test inputs?? 😮

how hard is it to convert a android based game to IoS?

[neon thicket]

Usually not very.

[lofty island]

Can't build for android.. anyone know how to fix this?

[fallen berry]

Hi @left bolt ,

I've found the same problem here - any solution to this?

[torpid maple]

Hint: google
'maintemplate.gradle is using the old aaptoptions'
that should work

[lofty island]

thank you

Anyone know what is the reason for this error. I don't understand much from console...

[torpid maple]

read the line in the error that says "suggestion:"

[left bolt]

No , its been a year and still no solution , i might stop using Vulkan all together.

[fallen berry]

I've found a strange behavior: if I set a near plane greater or equal to 1, the problem disappear

[left bolt]

pretty interesting , probably vulkan renders differently

[meager bear]

so this is an arena in my URP project

on mobile the shader graph i made doesn't work 😦 very dark

this is the shader graph i use

[open marlin]

Hi I'm having trouble accessing the sdcard on android. I've enabled "Write Permission: External(SD Card)" in the player preferences, but that hasn't seemed to work.

My problem is that I'm using ARCore from google and some of its methods need a file path to load data. I can't seem to get a path from StreamingAssets working here. And now I'm unable to get it to read from the sdcard

eg: the google library won't load from the jar:// URI

[open marlin]

and I can't use adb push to place files in the emulated section.

[potent crown]

@open marlin StreamingAssets will definitely only be accessible to jar:// which basically runs its own decompressor (and is treated like Web URI, not a traditional File IO)

do you need access to a specific file or an OBB?

err, anyway, typically, even when using StreamingAssets, I regularly unpack them into an external directory and I think thats actually the standard even for OBB

[urban parcel]

Can someone help me with my admob code?
Test ads work fine. I posted my game on play store but my ads aren't showing. I checked app ID and ad ID, it's correct. Yes I do know that app ID and ad ID for test are different. It's a game with Content Rating 3+. https://hatebin.com/gfhqsrvngt
I live in India and I made the admob account from my uncle's laptop. He lives in Canada. And I also set country to Canada in the account.
There are these numbers. But still no request.

Does anyone here have experience integrating a Unity iOS build into an existing iOS Native Swift app? I'm working on just this, but the information I'm finding online is either old or uses C instead of Swift. I'm pretty close (partially working), just looking to pick someone's brain on the topic.

Hi, Does anyone have any good software for simple installation apk with obb?
as we get closer to the release we install a lot of builds with the obb file and that is very annoying

[graceful temple]

Anyone know to add obb binary assets into apk

I mean like merging

[dense palm]

Hello,
I am getting a (Execution failed for task ':packageReleaseBundle'.) on my AAB unity build

I tried updating my NDK, JDK and SDK to different versions to resolve it but no luck

does anyone know what that specific msg relates to

[frozen vapor]

@dense palm Move the error into some bin site

[dense palm]

Would be great if someone can help:
https://www.codepile.net/pile/K04VrDQP

[dense palm]

I figured out the issue. It relates similar to this

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53263832/app-bundle-build-fails-because-of-the-sym-keyboard-feedback-delete-png-file/53278859#53278859

"It looks like one your dependencies is not compiled as an AAR but instead just as JAR"

is there a way to make JAR available to the bundle compile so it doesnt throw an error and let it resume. Can I install an update of any SDK or JDK ?

is this related to Unity 2018.4.26f1 and has been resolved in newer versions?

[meager bear]

Anyone have an idea about this question?

again a player reports he have problems, i use Assetbundles and on some phones the ShaderGraph works and on some it doesn't. How weird is that.

they use the same AssetBundle

[dense palm]

your build and your assetbundle might not be in sync. The assetbundle might be using a new material that is not in the old build maybe.
you mentioned some phones

[past wind]

My small game is running way slower on Android compared to pc

I tested that it's getting a solid 60 fps and that it's CPU usage is at about 5%, GPU at 40-50%

No noticeable frame or input lag

Player movement is linked to time.deltatime and doesn't seem slow, but my some of my timers seem to be counting up slower

It reports gone on PC, but 1min 10s worth of time is reported at 13s in android

Device is Galaxy S10

[meager bear]

would someone be able to write this shader in shader code (not graph) I will thank you in paypal with 10 dollar. Should be 5-10 lines of code right?

[lethal dove]

dayum

[frozen vapor]

@past wind Make sure your timers are appropriately multiplied by deltaTime too.

[past wind]

yeah all my timers are floats that are either timer = timer += deltatime or -=deltatime

something like this

[frozen vapor]

Assuming no time scale shenanigans, both builds should roughly count at the same rate as real time

Does PC match real time?

[past wind]

PC matches real time yeah

since i posted the question, i tried to optimize my game a bit

i'm not sure exactly which change helped but i moved my score update code bit from the update function to a if statement in the update function so it's called once per few seconds or so instead of per frame

updating a UI text object

I also changed item autodelete from timer to position based, and i just tried again and the timer matches real time now

I hit another issue where a UI text element that shows in PC version and editor is just gone in the mobile version

[frozen vapor]

1 minute delta that quickly would suggest some logic error to me

[past wind]

the time slowing seems to be fixed but now one my UI text elements aren't appearing

the rest of them do appear

all appear on PC

hello does any one know how to do any thing similar using a second camera to render a set layer and output to render texture but using only a single camera as for performance costs

[rain leaf]

do you mean like, rendering the whole scene into a camera render texture, then showing the render texture inside a canvas raw image?

I have installed ls ndk from android the jdk I already have the editor configured but

it gives me this error

[sonic terrace]

Rendering UI Toolkit properly is an issue for me on Android, it works fine on editor play
I get this error, https://i.imgur.com/O3NnuEa.png

By the hints im guessing it has something to do with it not able to make a font asset because of some shader

[sly creek]

Does ios support Render Texture and all its formats?

[rain leaf]

Exactly what it says on the tin

Please make sure the Android SDK is installed and is properly configured in the Editor. See the Console for more details.

[dusky pine]

Does anyone have an idea what could cause such artifacts? I am using URP with Unity 2021.1 on Android and the material is done in Shader Graph. Some players are reporting those artifacts that spread with time. The strange thing here is that everything is using the same material, for example on the left image the mountains are using exactly the same material as the bugged tiles next to it. Also on the right screenshot elements that are rendering fine in the other one are bugged. I have no idea right now where I should start searching to fix this 😕

[unreal lance]

hey does anyone know how to set unity to max fps that each mobile devices supports? I have 2 phones, 60hz and 120hz and want it to automatically try and achieve the maximum the device can support

[dire magnet]

I believe this happens by default assuming you haven't done anything with vSync or Application.targetFramerate

[unreal lance]

let me double check if I have something like that, because right now they are both running at 60 fps

[dire magnet]

I know that if you can't achieve 120, Android will lock you to 60 and similarly for 60 and 30

[unreal lance]

great to know will keep that in mind, should have an issue with that yet since the scene is basically empty

[dire magnet]

See if setting Application.targetFramerate to 120 does anything

[unreal lance]

Tried that still stuck at 60. Just checked Screen.currentResolution.refreshRate value on the device and it says 60 instead of 120, going to check if some setting in device is missing

[unreal lance]

Seems that this is a know issue with my device (not related to unity) 120hz automatically gets set to 60hz for games....

[unreal lance]

after manually forcing my OnePlus to actually run games at 120hz this option worked great 😄

[glossy sluice]

the problem is defined floats like: 1.5f is outputing in android device as 15
this is a big problem how can i fix this?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/691810501037916181/845733304635621386/save_this_lol.PNG

[rain leaf]

maybe because your pc is using a comma ( , ) instead of a dot ( . ) as decimal separator

[glossy sluice]

how can i make my game to start on Android boot?
manifest?? needs some JAR plugin?? something?

[frozen vapor]

My guess would be some sort of service

[glossy sluice]

bruh im bout to suicide u are so godamn right. As U SAID i was replacing "." with ", " in c# but its reversed in java so i had to do "," ".".
btw one more question to proof that i got the situation right
C# is used in pc(UNITY EDITOR) => JAVA(Android Sdk) => Phone Machine Code(ex: 0x00032130)
so the problem was between the c# => Java am i right?

[ebon cypress]

hello if a publish a game and monetize it is there a minimum payout for unity ads

[ebon cypress]

so if it makes 1 dollar can i transfer it to my bank

[neon thicket]

There is a minimum, though I don't remember what it is.

[narrow ledge]

im trying to make a build for android, but i cant see my device in the unity builder, but i can see my device and enter my device from the file explorer, and i have put the device in developer mode. any idea what the issue might be?

[quartz kernel]

Probably an issue with the SDK. How does it look in the preferences?

[narrow ledge]

it doesn't look like there is anything wrong there. JDK, SDK, NDK and Gradle are all on

[quartz kernel]

Try running adb with the command adb devices and see if it shows up

Sorry I keep forgetting to tag you @narrow ledge

[narrow ledge]

first time ever doing this. what's ADB?

[quartz kernel]

adb is what drives the connection to your phone

So in your preferences you have a file path to the SDK right?

[narrow ledge]

yeah for my work station

[quartz kernel]

Open that file location

And then run a command prompt in that folder

or actually just open command prompt and type 'cd [path]'

[narrow ledge]

done. then what?

@quartz kernel thanks for you trying to help me, but setting it to usb debugging seems to have fixed the issue

[quartz kernel]

Sometimes you need to run an adb command to connect a new device to authorize it

glad it worked :)

[rancid yoke]

What's the best way to get a devices IMEI number?
I saw some threads using xamarin but using that seems like overkill

[wary solstice]

Getting IMEI is overkill itself. As I know, IOS is not allowing it for privacy and security reasons. You can use deviceUniqueIdentifier as an identifier. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SystemInfo-deviceUniqueIdentifier.html

[fiery jetty]

Hello, i am making a game and test ads work but when i change to real ads it is still showing test ads(dumy ads) can comeone please explain?

[ebon cypress]

hello can someone tell me why i am always getting Rewarded video is not ready at the moment! Please try again later! when i start a rewarded ad

[fiery jetty]

are you using admob?

[ebon cypress]

here is the code line 53 is what i get https://hastepaste.com/view/OwRlh5aq47

[ebon cypress]

no

unity

[fiery jetty]

sorry i can t help you

[wary solstice]

What is your sdk version? Old sdk might cause this

[rain leaf]

try using testmode and see if it works
maybe as it says on the log, no rewarded ads video is available at that time

[ebon cypress]

HOW CAN I UPDATE IT

[wary solstice]

Check your sdk version on package manager. Also, remember you need some time to load ads. Check status of the ad with GetPlacementState(mySurfacingId) in your debug log.

[ebon cypress]

@wary solstice i get this error every time i close and open unity

[wary solstice]

Check installed android sdk. Look at Edit>Preferences>External Tools and be sure which sdk you are using. Try to use unity integrated one

[ebon cypress]

@wary solstice where

I googled the error and found this https://answers.unity.com/questions/1750743/unable-to-start-adb-server-make-sure-the-android-s.html

but i dont understand what he did

[wary solstice]

It looks like you are using unity integrated sdk. Copy path of android sdk and open platform-tools folder in command prompt and run following command to see error
set ADB_TRACE = 1
adb start-server

[ebon cypress]

OK I WILL TRY IT

[drifting ginkgo]

Hi, any good tutorial for making a good phone (vertical) canvas? My game is mostly canvas based and I don't know how to do it well. My first thing that I want to do is to make a scrollable menu (somehitng like a long street with different clickable elements and the player can more around thins street 2D freely) But I don't knwo how to do it.

Also how to set up unity for making this vertical canvas?

[robust hamlet]

@drifting ginkgo You can share a little bit more info about what you want to create, but I don't think you will need a Canvas. If it's a 2D game, you shoule use Sprites. Canvas is mostly used for UI stuff.

[ebon cypress]

@wary solstice i still have the same issue can u help

[drifting ginkgo]

I'm trying to make a dinamic menu tha tlet you move around a street (so the camera follows where the plaeyr go) but i dont knwo how to make the camera movement. In the different parts of the street there are buttons and other thigns that the player can interact with

[wary solstice]

Did you start adb server in cmd? What is the error you got? If you didn't, open sdk directory unity uses then open cmd in platform-tools directory then run:
set ADB_TRACE = 1
adb start-server

[ebon cypress]

sdk directory unity where is that?

[wary solstice]

Open Edit>Preferences>External Tools you will see sdk directory listed in there

[ebon cypress]

android sdk?

[wary solstice]

yes android sdk

[ebon cypress]

so android sdk then external tools

then what?

[wary solstice]

open cmd and run commands I mentioned so we can see why adb is giving error

Hey, does anyone know if it's possible to set a subscription for ios or android app directly in the store? Or does subscription has to be bought through the app after installation?

[ebon cypress]

u mean google console?

[elder agate]

yeah, either google console or appstore connect

[ebon cypress]

yeah u have to go their website and make an account https://play.google.com/console/u/0/signup

[elder agate]

I got this covered, but it only sets a one time price. So user pays the amount and can download the app

What I want is the user to subscribe, and then he can download the app

[ebon cypress]

u mean a paid app/ game

[elder agate]

yeah

[ebon cypress]

yeah it is in the settings
