was working earlier

went to playtest my game and the ui didnt appear and now im really worried because i have to remake it now

i can craete a new canvas with the same settings, with all the same ui componenets with the same values and sttings and theyll appear

but nothing from that canvas will show anymore

it did that twice

[tired lily]

show camera and UI

[glossy sluice]

wym

[tired lily]

look at your camera settings and the settings for UI. And try focusing on your play menu (f) because it might just be very small if you have a mismatch

just do this exactly: select PlayMenu, enable it, right-click in scene, press f

I have a feeling it'll zoom you into your menu

[glossy sluice]

I recreated one of the ui components with the exact same properties with a canvas, with the exact same properties and it shows up

what is wrong with it

[tired lily]

well one has a canvas scaler and the other doesn't, although that should only matter for the root canvas

[glossy sluice]

I fixed it, the canvas JUSt said the scale was 0.99999 or smth like that but it just reset to 0 and when I set it to 1 it showed up

i have no idea why it was 0

i havent touched my ui at all

[glossy sluice]

Anyways, do you know how to change the size of the cursor with the forcesoftware mode? it’s like half of the screen right now

[tired lily]

what is the size of your cursor texture?

[glossy sluice]

I hope I dont have to make the texture smaller but it is 323x323

[tired lily]

yep that would be why they're large. Auto resizes them to 32x32

[glossy sluice]

ok ill resize it with anti-aliasing so it doesnt look so pixelated

at least i get to change small details when downscaling

ill export to android now

[wicked olive]

Does anyone have any tips, tutorials, blogs or a proper solution for unity to be able to handle ui resizing with device orientation, specifically for UI? Spent 4 hours playing around with Canvas Scaler and Screen/device/input orientations and it feels so hacky.

[glossy sluice]

nope, the cursor doesnt show up on android

[rain leaf]

"One picture is worth a thousand words"

[native gazelle]

im trying to use unity remote 5 with my iphone, my pc has detected my phone and i can select it in the unity project settings but when i press play, the game doesnt appear on my phone. What should I do?

[glossy sluice]

Would there be anyway to show a custom cursor on android, or to hide the normal one and use a ui element as the visual instaed?

[obtuse furnace]

A thousand words are definitely not necessary for this issue

[rain leaf]

it might helps me help you, but well, it's your choice anyway 🤷‍♂️

[quartz kernel]

If your issue is visual of course it's gonna help to attach a picture

Wait where is this in unity on mobile download

[neon thicket]

@unique rock Are you looking to get removed from this server? If you're not going to explain what you mean by this, or accept the fact the Unity editor cannot be used on mobile, then I'm just going to assume you're trolling.

You've already been muted once for spamming this question without context.

[unique rock]

Am not troling,😥

[neon thicket]

Then your question has been answered, Unity editor is not available for mobile. Use a computer.

[unique rock]

Why

This not Windows

[visual swift]

Hello there does anyone knows how to make zoom and pan (on mobile) in two different images in canvas? I managed to do the pan, but in the images by separate with the “Scroll Rect” and “Rect Mask” components

I was thinking to call the components a and b and connect them so what is done in the img1 will be the same in the img2 and viceversa but don’t know how… I have the idea but don’t know from where to start

[wicked haven]

With Unity 2018.1, am I able to build APK that will support all modern androids? Or should I try to upgrade my project?

Because I saw this...

[warm adder]

Maybe you only need to update your sdk manager

[wicked haven]

I updated unity so solved anyway hehe. How do I find all androidmanifests that affect my APK build though? I seem to have multiple in project and I keep getting errors

[latent violet]

Concerning mobile, does anyone know any good ASO tool to use?

I've got two ASO tool in mind "Appfigures" and "Appfollow" but I don't know which is more accurate

[frail gate]

HI does anyone know how to sign my andriod game google play?

[neon thicket]

Look up how to create a keystore in Unity, in Player Settings. You need to create one that you use each time you make a build you upload to Google Play.

[lament terrace]

hi i have an problem when i try to build my game(export it)
it just give me like 100 errors

[glossy sluice]

iam using mediation sdk, firebase sdk

[neon thicket]

@glossy sluice Use a bin to share large code blocks.

The bot is going to auto mute you if it keeps having to auto delete your stuff.

[sharp lion]

Search for arch.core.core-runtime-2.0.1 text in your whole project. Including packages

[glossy sluice]

how?

[lament terrace]

i guess open your project folder and find it there

or just copy the path and paste it

[glossy sluice]

where do i search? in unity or in file explorer?

[sharp lion]

unity

[lament terrace]

thats the debug log

[lament terrace]

file explore

explorer*

[glossy sluice]

ok

[lament terrace]

idk if u can serch the unity files in unity

[glossy sluice]

i found it what should i do next?

[lament terrace]

dont ask me idk what the problem even is

[glossy sluice]

what to do next?

[sharp lion]

Do you see any results?

The error says that you have two library files resolved with different versions. You need pick older version and delete or disable it for android platform from inspector

[lament terrace]

it aslo generated an file with this text https://pastebin.com/a7qX0EfV

[glossy sluice]

i have only seen 1 in editor

so i actually need to delete older right?

[lament terrace]

makes sense

but idk

[sharp lion]

Yes. Most likely one of the plugins which resolved that library isn't used anymore in your project. So pick which resolved that and delete the complete plugin if you aren't using it.

[glossy sluice]

ok

[neon thicket]

@latent violet #502171626805133312

[latent violet]

@neon thicket ok, sorry 😊

[glossy sluice]

Why this in my own game ? Please help me. I want it to publish on galaxy Store. But because of this reason my game didn't pass.

[neon thicket]

Did you install the game through Google Play, or did you just add the APK to your phone?

[untold wraith]

using Unity Remote, I connected my phone to the PC and the option to select the iPhone appeared in the player settings. I selected that one and press Play according to instructions, but the game starts inside the editor anyway instead of the phone.

[glossy sluice]

When I am installing there's no message. The screen shot is send by galaxy Store testing team. It's installing directly from phone

[neon thicket]

Google will pop that warning if it's an APK not installed directly from the store.

[glossy sluice]

Thank you ☺️. My errors are solved. Now I have to solve the UDP integration problem 😊

[glossy sluice]

But why didn't in my phone and my friends?

[neon thicket]

Probably have it turned off

[sonic otter]

allow from unknown sources is the developer option

[glacial plank]

how do i fix this, its with a samsung galaxy j3 6

1. Cross check if you are on Java SDK 1.8
2. Kill any gradle process from your process manager if any and try making again.

[frail herald]

Hey I'm using the one that Unity installed for me

[sharp lion]

What about system java version?

[frail herald]

All of the externals are set to default Unity installation so JDK, JRE, NDK and all that are defaulted it says it requires 1.8

I'm running 1.8 on system

[sharp lion]

I see

[frail herald]

This is the output of my java version

[frail herald]

I made sure to kill all "java" and "gradle" processes in activity monitor, I can try to restart my computer again just to ensure there is none running

[frail herald]

I've given up on building for Android on my mac, I'll use my pc to do that when I get home

[sharp lion]

@frail herald Can you send me a sample project to see if I can reproduce?

[frail herald]

It's on Unity 2020.3.25f1 if that helps

I chose the LTS for the project expecting it to be stable

I don't really think it's anything in the project causing it as I don't have any plugins

[sharp lion]

Can you try with an empty new project and see if you can reproduce the issue?

[frail herald]

Good idea let me try

[frail herald]

I sadly get the same error on an empty/fresh project

[sharp lion]

Actually thats a good thing. If not its worse if its specific to your project 🙂
Anyways, Just try quickly reinstalling unity as a first step.

[frail herald]

That's a good idea, worth a shot to see if it's maybe something with the installation or the installation of the android sdk tools

Have anyone encounter android build black screen after unity logo, but only on android 12 ?
I'm using Unity 2019.2 and using this workaround to fix android 12 exported flag issue, but the result apk only shows black screen on android 12.
https://forum.unity.com/threads/game-doesnt-install-on-android-12-from-playstore.1222065/#post-7794402

[neon thicket]

You could try running logcat and see if there's a bug. The package manager has it available so you can run it from the editor.

I will say that I've seen this before myself, and each time I just needed to clear the existing data of the app on my phone first (or uninstall it before building to the phone for testing).

[sharp lion]

@rain leaf If its exported flag issue, you can't even install the apk on Android 12. Share complete logcat log.

[rain leaf]

the exported flag issue was solved using the link above, but the result app only shows black screen on android 12

[sharp lion]

Got it! Share the log to see if any info related to dark screen. The script shared only adds the missing flag alone and not actually related to the black screen to confirm.

(I'm the one who wrote the script :))

[rain leaf]

the problem is, I currently dont have any android 12 device 😅 , it's one of my tester/client who reports that the apk goes black screen

[rain leaf]

No wonder your name feels familiar 😄

[sharp lion]

I see. Unfortunately, I can't test either as on my emulator it crashes instantly(unity issue) but on my friends device it works fine though.

[glacial plank]

how do you fix this?? I have a 2018 samsung tab a and a 2016 samsung j3 6, and they both have dev options on and remote 5 installed. Im using 2019 unity

the tablet is on latest android

the phone, i dont know

[sterile gull]

halp, I'm trying to diagnose a crash on android devices. For some reason, the reason of this crash does not show up on logcat. It just seems to fail silently as far as the console is concerned

Any alternatives?

How can i make my Canvas Static?
Cause if i turn my phone its turning with it, but i dont want that xd

[ocean flint]

Maybe try the orientation in the player settings

[ocean flint]

I know this is a difficult question to answer because it depends on a lot of things, but I'm hoping someone with mobile game development experience is willing to attempt an answer regardless. I'll start off with some context.

**This is what I've already done to try and increase my budget: **

I have optimized my models to use as few vertices as possible, drawing details whenever possible. I'm reusing parts of my models and I'm mirroring parts of them so I need less texture space. I'm also removing covered planes. I have my 4 groups of models (props, enemies, vehicles, buildings) in 4 separate 1024x1024 squares in a 2k texture atlas. Everything (lights, shadows, ao) is baked. I use a single material. It's all instanced and most of it is static.

But now I want to do terrain and sky and I don't know what my budget is. I only own an iphone 11 pro right now and that is hardly a fair base device.

So: what's a rough estimate of a texture budget? Could I use another 2k texture? Is the 2k texture too much already?

As a bonus question: how do you handle terrain for a flat surface with some dirt and grass drawn (so not meshes) on it , 80x80 meters, static camera. Should I just use a plane with a single big texture? I feel like that's better than splat maps in terms of size and performance but I don't know what the options are.

Sorry for the wall... I tried keeping it short but I might have failed :p

So I've gotten the level lock script to work so players cant click onto a button/level if its after level 1, but I am not really sure how unlock the levels once completed

I have had a look online but I haven't really been able to get it to work for me and some use other methods which I am not using

all i am trying to get to work is when a player crosses a finish line the UI pops up saying completed level and then a button which will take them to the level selection screen and the next level will be interactable and can proceed, but I appreciate any help that is given i will also provide the lock script if needed, Thank You!

Hey all, super basic question but i tried everything now. Trying to build an android apk for 4k device, but when i read the app resolution withScreen function it is at 1920x1080. How can i force this?

[lament terrace]

Don't work

[lament terrace]

still get like 100 errors

[sharp lion]

Share thr error (via pastebin)

[sharp lion]

Are you using any filters? Just try adb logcat alone.

[tired lily]

we have multiple 2k textures in our games, you'll be fine. The lower end devices tend to have the most trouble with overdraw, cpu use and shaders rather than texture memory. Try to keep them compressed though, pvrtc/astc on ios and etc2 on android. Just be aware that pvrtc has a bit lower quality result than etc2 which might matter for your UI

[ocean flint]

Thank you. And all right. All my UI is done using uss, so that's not an issue for me 😄

[indigo gazelle]

Does anyone have "sound" problems when deploying to iPhone? I mean, I can hear it all in Unity, but on the iPhone it's muted it seems... But the volume is on max, it has to be my audio source...

my sounds are not playing on the devices, only on the computer... I ran it on Mac and on Windows and they are fine... but on iPhone, no sound... just changed the audio to PCM on unity, no result...

[indigo gazelle]

something to do with the iphone.... deployed on an ipad and it's playing... weird...

[night basalt]

"Your app currently targets API level 29 and must target at least API level 30 to ensure it is built on the latest APIs optimized for security and performance. Change your app's target API level to at least 30"

So I can't build and publish apps for any older phone? Heck my own galaxy s8 is running on Android 9 (API 28)

Or am I looking at this wrong?

Hello I would like to add an embedded Unity app inside my Android native app, I tried with an aar file and I tried to import directly my Unity project but it didn't work. Do you know what is the best way to do this ? And do you have any tutorial on how to do this ?

The term you're looking for is "unity as a library". See https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityasaLibrary.html

[uncut yarrow]

Hello, In my project I am using unity service Authentication. In editor is everything working fine (log in to unity database is succesfull) but when I build project to my phone Honor 7 lite I am getting this errors:

[Authentication]: Well-known keys request failed (attempt: 2): 0, SSL CA certificate error
[Authentication]: Request completed with error: SSL CA certificate error
Curl error 60: Cert verify failed: UNITYTLS_X509VERIFY_FLAG_USER_ERROR1

Do you have some ideas how to fix it? Thank you very much 🙂

[sharp lion]

No. You can still deploy to devices less than API 30.
Setting TargetApi assures your device is compatible "until" the target version.
Ex: Setting Target Api to 30 means, your final apk will work on devices <= 30. On devices above 30, we can't gaurentee. It may or may not work.

[rain leaf]

Might be certificate issue, but you can bypass it like here

Can i post a question here for android?

[warm adder]

Try, maybe someone will be able to help

[glossy sluice]

Ok so when i export my game now, i need to give play protect permission to install it and i can't even install it because "cant overwrite package because it conflict with another package"...

It's the same game only difference is i am using post processing now

i tried re-installing it and it worked, but all the data is gone... And isn't coming back even after i re-install the older version

[warm adder]

what data is gone? how do you save your data?

[glossy sluice]

I save it in PlayerPrefs

no fancy json's here haha

And ALL the playerprefs are gone

[warm adder]

maybe playerprefs are removed when you uninstall the game, im not sure

[glossy sluice]

No because when i deleted and installed an older game on mine everything was saved... That's why i'm so confused

[rain leaf]

is this game also using playerprefs? if this old game saves directly to local storage, most likely the game folder and it's contents are still exist on deletion

[glossy sluice]

mm, but why can't i just update a newer version of my game? I even uninstalled post-processing??

[rain leaf]

usually, updating(without uninstall) retains the saved playerprefs, even using different unity version, but I read here that there are cases where the app read the wrong playerpref file if the androidmanifest is modified
https://forum.unity.com/threads/save-file-gets-deleted-when-updating-on-android.388043/#post-4169326

[glossy sluice]

i cant even update the game, because my phone thinks its a different package no matter what i do

[rain leaf]

so, you cant update your game on the phone without uninstalling it first?
what is the error message?
did you build to apk or directly build to phone?

[glossy sluice]

i build to apk

i got the same errors as before "using anti-aliasing..."

but after i downloaded post processing my phone got messages with play protect and i coudn't even install it because my phone thinks its a different game

player prefs are for preferences/settings.. not really for unlocking levels, as they're super easy to open and edit

hi i have an problem. when i try to build (export ) my game i just get bunch of errors. thats what it looks like:

i even tried runing editor as admin. but still dont work.

[latent violet]

Hey guys

So am currently doing a questionnaire on this two game icon and wanting to know, if you saw the two at a list, which would you prefer to play based on the game icon? : (first pic is A, second is B)

[night basalt]

thanks, so it's like a maxTarget then?

[rain leaf]

The bottom one, there is a clear contrast between the background and the object, I can easily identify the car in the icon.
The top one... I've been looking at it for some time and still cant recognize what is in it

[rain leaf]

Not really, mobile save playerprefs in different location compared to desktop build.
Yes, on desktop, playerprefs is saved in registry and you can easily modify it using registry editor. But on mobile, it's saved safely inside system folder which is out of reach unless on rooted device.

[sharp lion]

Yup! Stupid naming 😄

[sharp lion]

Do you have any special characters in the project path?

[night basalt]

Yup, tried it out. It installed fine from the play store on my phone

[latent violet]

Thanks, and thanks to everyone for giving out their opinions

[acoustic rock]

AndroidManifest is missing, anyone had the same trouble? I'm using 2020.3

[slim quiver]

just to confirm, no android apps possible that are running in 4k?

[fallen compass]

Ok, so for mobile not as easy.. but still pretty easy. And that doesn't change the fact that player prefs aren't for this sort of thing.. they're for preferences

[orchid fjord]

Yo i need some help with the obb on a mobile build

The game can't seem to read it

On either SD card or Internal Storage

[fallen compass]

It's probably named incorrectly?

the Play store uses .abb now anyway.. don't think you can upload .obb's anymore with them?

[orchid fjord]

All i need to know

Is how to name it

Pls

How do i name the obb for the game to read it properly?

Because at the moment my computer isn't available to make another build

[fallen compass]

I cannot remember, it's been over a year since I did it.. have a google

[orchid fjord]

We'll i googled it and im not sure if its outdated or not

But its not working

I will make an APK only build once i arrive home

[glacial plank]

How Do I Fix This??? I am on a samsung gallaxy tab a 2018

[broken mauve]

You probably don't have the phone plugged in or connected properly

[lament terrace]

dont think so

[lament terrace]

this C:\Users\User\Desktop\Programing\unityProjects\Projects\swift balls

[fallen compass]

I reckon.. it doesn't like being on Desktop

[lament terrace]

so where shall i put it?

like program files?

or documents?

[fallen compass]

No, not program files.. a project is not program

Got more than one drive? -> Put it not on C in somewhere like D:\Development\<project name> ... or if not another drive, then I guess C:\Development\<project name>

[rain leaf]

there should be more message below that line, but usually the main problem is the phone is not detected by the OS (no devices/emulators found)

[glacial plank]

thats what it is, how do i fix that

its pluged in properly, as my computer recognises it, just not unity

[gusty pagoda]

is there a way to include different versions of a library - or perhaps exclude features - based on the device android version? I have a library which has a minimum version of 24, but I have to make the minimum version of the app 23.

[rain leaf]

1st enable android debug mode on your device, then you need to install the adb driver for your phone on your computer

[glacial plank]

both done

[glacial plank]

already before this happend

might be becaouse its windows 7

[brazen wolf]

Yeah. Upgrade to windows 11! It will probs run better

[rain leaf]

I'm still using windows 7 too, but then again, I rarely (if ever) use unity remote

[bitter summit]

Hi everyone, I currently finding a way to load my assets remote, because of the limit of the google store (150mb), I think addressable is a good way, so my question is, I can make my assets (textures under Resources folder) as addressable assets and then in the app download the assets, and I can still use "Resources.load" to load my assets as usual?

[velvet plaza]

has anyone ever encountered an issue in android builds where their native libraries are only being included for one target abi? i have the same libraries, compiled for both armv7 and arm64, with the proper import settings applied in-editor. but when i build the apk and inspect it, only the arm64 .so files are included in the app's jniLibs. if i export the project instead of building the apk, the same issue applies. i've triple-checked my import settings, but unity seems to just be arbitrarily skipping the libs for one of my platforms.

[mental wyvern]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have an app. It works 100% as intended on Android, Windows editor, MacOS editor, but on iphone, at a very specific points, it crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS. But it does so only when I try to reach a specific array of int that is clearly initialized. Can it be the consequences of some larger memory issues ? How to know where the memory problem is really coming from ? I would really appreciate some help on this as I have been trying things for a lot of hours.

[fallen compass]

you don't use the Resouces folder or Resources.Load for Addressables. There's a dedicated channel for them #📦┃addressables

[bitter summit]

i didn't see that, thanks

Was testing a build with the Unity Remote 5 (URP 2021.2.7) and when I touched a random set of fingers I got this menu pop up! Anyone know what it is??? I think it came up when I touched the 4 corners of the screen in a particular way as I can get it appearing and disappearing when I randomly press them. (Nailed down the steps: 2 or more fingers pressed and then 3 taps with a finger toggles it)

Hello,

I published a game on Android with Admob's system for ads.

I would like to configure my App-ad.txt file but no application appears in the "app-ads.txt" tab

However, my application has been verified, I did the identity check, I entered a payment method and everything is "checked OK"

But still no application in app-ads.txt tab. It's been more than two weeks

Does anyone have an idea why my app is not appearing in this window so when the "Apps" window the approval status is "Ready" ?

There are googlable instructions on how to do that

[shadow nova]

Does anyone use app-ads-txt.com to host app-ads.txt file ?
Some say that tappx stole our revenue because it adds tappx line in app-ad.txt file
https://www.ittechnical.solutions/2020/04/app-ads-txtcom-added-tappxcom.html

Is it true ?

[tired lily]

You're supposed to host that file on your own website. You are doing something shady/wrong if this is not the case

[heady spindle]

hey guys Why is it that the effects I packaged are different from the ones I see in the Unity window? Specifically, it seems to be stuck in a version that retains a bug from the previous version but it doesn't matter how I repackaged it

[shadow nova]

I don't have my own website :/

And some people on the google communauty forum use app-txt.com website to host their files too

[tired lily]

Are you hosting your privacy policy etc elsewhere then? The whole point of app-ads is to prove you own the domain. Are you being paid by tappx? Are they displaying any ads on your app?

[shadow nova]

@tired lily I don't know ... That's the purpose of my question ^^

[tired lily]

How are you loading ads?

[shadow nova]

I've implemented amob for ads in my game (interstitiel)

[tired lily]

If you aren't serving any tappx ads, I'm not sure why you'd think they are taking any revenue from you? It looks like the hosting site you're using is affiliated with tappx, so they're probably trying to get you to serve their ads too

[old cypress]

Is there a way to get the audio running on iOS even with the mute switch on?

Ok thanks you ^^

[tired lily]

I did this with a post build script that edits [built_xc_project]/Classes/UI/Keyboard.mm. Look for lines that have a type of UITextAutocapitalizationType and edit their value to UITextCapitalizationTypeNone

[mortal meteor]

Thank you @tired lily !

How does one go about communicating with the xcode project post build

I'm only looking for references of material at this point

my google is showing up all sorts of stuff

a little guidance on what I should be looking at would be hella useful

[tired lily]

You can get the path using the args on a method with this signature + attribute: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Callbacks.PostProcessBuildAttribute.html

If you need to interact with the project itself, combine that with https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/iOS.Xcode.PBXProject.html

anyone got 4k video playback on android? (not just decode)

[sullen folio]

After playing around with it pretty much all day, I was finally able to write an Android Service that plays Unity audio in the background. I'm so happy lol. Only problem is I need to actually stop and restart the Service when I tell it to play again. Right now it just creates a new media player so the audio tracks layer on top of each other, building into a terrifying cacophony lmao

[brazen birch]

4k yes but that's because we work in XR and 360 videos need to be 4K plus if you don't want them looking horrible on the quest, focus & pico

[pallid wasp]

I need help with the mobile shader graph

it works fine in editor

but when i built it and installed it on my phone

all of the materials that use shader graph are not showing properly

it just pink

i need help with this asap

thanks

[brazen birch]

I'm assuming the shaders incompatible. You should see an error in the unity log on your device.

[slim quiver]

any tips on how to get android to make my raw image with a material display in 4k? I have an exoplayer that sends the video to there

Its like the entire surfaceview on android is stuck in hd

Im getting desperate, thinking I will make a movieplayer in android and have that as a layer under unity

I see the quest 2 has 2xHD views so that is about half of 4k

[pallid wasp]

is there any way to make the shaders compatible ?

[slim quiver]

you might wanna check your graphics settings on your mobile platform in your build?

[pallid wasp]

and what should i check exactly??

i dont understand what these graphics settings do

thats why im looking for help

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/865912417446920232.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[slim quiver]

well you must have built it, so in the player settings you can see some graphics api, maybe set that to auto, or whatever your android platform supports specifically

[pallid wasp]

i set the auto graphics true already

[slim quiver]

i usually have mine set up to what it can specifically handle, but i guess i cant help you more

hi

i want to make a ar face filter app like snapchat without the text, so you open the app and you camera opens, u can choose filters to apply to your face and click a picture of urself.......

i cant code and want to spend 2 days on this as a learning expierience(maybe upload it on playstore). How do i go about making this?

note- i cant code, am new to unity and havent done this before

[slim quiver]

youtube plenty of tutorials you can follow

or just use the snapchat platform lol its sooo easy as is the instagram one

[rugged forge]

no i wanna make my own app

[pallid wasp]

then you should learn how to code first

[slim quiver]

you will need to know how to read it at least

[rain leaf]

I dont know how your shader looks like, but you can try to remove nodes starting from the most right until it doesnt get pink

[pallid wasp]

my shader are working properly on editor

even when i built it for windows platform

it just not working on mobile

[rain leaf]

then, remove the most right node (before the output), then build and run on mobile, if it's still pink, remove another one then build again, repeat until it doesnt get pink

dont forget to plug the last node to the output node

[pallid wasp]

yeah that might work

sure ill try it

[rain leaf]

Or you can try to set graphics emulation in the editor if you havent tried it

edit > graphic emulation iirc

[pallid wasp]

its still not working

i tried to install my apk to an emulator, it does work

[slim quiver]

man this is driving me nuts the only way i can get 4k video playing on android is with handheld.playfullscreenmovie()

[mortal meteor]

How did you communicate with Keyboard.mm did you update a build property at the path of [built_xc_project]/Classes/UI/Keyboard.mm ?

[rugged forge]

hi

[rugged forge]

can any1 help me with my message in #💻┃unity-talk

[fallen compass]

Don't crosspost.

[tired lily]

no, a literal text search and replace

[brazen birch]

You want to make sure the graphic quality settings are not set to scale down the images.

In my case, I'm playing the video file to a render texture, and using that render texture on an inverted sphere.

If you want to go above 4K, you likely will need to split the video feed into multiple okmages.

• for Android that is

[slim quiver]

I have checked it again, but everything is on max, I am using a raw image which has an unlit shader on it for the video

its like everything goes through a unity HD downscaler

[slim quiver]

I think it is because the particular activity unity is stuck in, is for UI and all the ui in android is hd

[tawny geode]

Why and how does unchecking and checking JDK, Gradle, Android SDK & NDK again fixes the Failed to update Android SDK package list. See the Console for details error? Do I need to do this every time I open the project again and want to build the game?

[slim quiver]

def. not normal, i never have to do that

[brazen birch]

To me it sounds like it is trying to update the min SDK and failing. Some of the Unity to Android SDK stuff is quite buggy. In my case I had to manually open the Android SDK and install the right packages

[brazen birch]

Yes, the UI scaler has other elements to it too and it does alter pixel density and stretching etc. Try a custom build with the raw image set to a material, and the material on a plane. See if that renders 4k. If so the UI is definitely at fault

I haven't tried 4K through the UI. We are a VR studio so on screen UI is a no no

Or, you could also write out a random frame of the render texture to a JPG mid operation. Then look at the JPG quality. Assuming the render texture was set to 4K etc etc

Basically, it's either the videoplayer rendering low. The texture image it's outputing rendering low. Or the UI rendering low. Or the OS capping textures.

[slim quiver]

Ive tried setting up a fresh raw image with a 6k res image on it, it rendered fine on my mac but on android it had the same hd blurriness to it. I think it is the OS capping the resolution in general unless played in a videoview in Android. I have tried other videoplugins they all look the same

[slim quiver]

in a different example the video is rendered on a plane, and it is the same. There is nothing in 4k in the whole scene, except the decoding of the texture which i can see in the logcat

this is running on a pretty high end smb with android

sbc sorry

[brazen birch]

Most android devices can't go above a 4k texture (GPU limitations).

[slim quiver]

yes but they can decode 4k video

and display it, while the ui is overlayed in hd

[brazen birch]

Oculus has a pretty good breakdown on how they got around that (on Android) for 8k video output

[slim quiver]

oh nice

[brazen birch]

Anytime we have over 4k, I split it to multiple textures to be safe. So I haven't seen the issue myself

But we also don't render to a UI, so I probably am not much help from this point forward :)

[slim quiver]

ah weird, i get it working when i do handheld.fullscreenvideo in unity

well as long as i can get it full screen in some way i dont mind

where might i find that oculus breakdown?

I think I might just do a hack, building a player in android loading it up as a plugin and interfacing from unity to control it

[rugged forge]

hi did you figure out how to do this?

[brazen birch]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/simple-swipe-and-tap-mobile-input.376160/

I'd check if their touch starts near the edge, and compare it to where they ended. It should give you a swipe direction

[fallen compass]

First - don't send random friend requests, it's against server rules and unwelcomed.
Secondly - yeah, there isn't a built in way that tells you. You have to get the screen position of the first touchdown and the postion on touchup, then that distance the touches are within the zone you want to do the swipe

[rugged forge]

oops, sorry my bad

[rugged forge]

yup got it thanks

Hi all, any to tips to lots of content to mobile game, even for potato phones?

Big maps, racing game

Multiplayer, let's say 4 players max. Each has abilities, like Mario kart, crash team racing

I'm not very experienced with mobile dev, so even with the game type context, any obvious tips are welcomed

Like if we're aiming for potato phones, can i assume that gpu will be bottleneck? Many verts are ok, more than textures? Whats a minimum vert limit anyways, for potato phones
Should i invest effort to full vertex color style?

And physics wise?
We shouldnt be using wheel colliders etc, and I guess making sure dynamic rbs are low count, and scene are static. No destructible stage

And lastly, even with addressables, what's some tricks to fit as much offline contents for the actual build size/cache?

[upper frost]

hi!

Anyone know how to make a store with skins?

[brazen birch]

Asset bundles, optimization, unloading of unused assets

[brazen birch]

Yes but it's a complex task that changes per project and per platform and per framework

For example, say you use some asset pack for a multiplayer player game.

You need to include or asset bundle all the skins and store them in your server.

You need to use a store purchase framework - unities or some direct google play store framework. That lets you make external payments and let them store or recover their inapp purchases which triggers a success or failure script you use to change everything in the game.

If it is multiplayer though, in order for others to see your skin, everyone needs to be able to download it. So it's best using asset bundles so they don't have to download 10,000 skins where they will only ever see 5 in that instance.

Hi I am facing a strange problem. I build a .apk file(AR APP) and install it on the phone, everything works fine, but when I publish it on the google store, I build the .aab file and upload, and normally I can download the .apk file from google console, which is automatically generated from my .aab file by google, and it just does NOT WORK....why ....I am so sad, can someone help me

define NOT WORK
is it crash on start up? or black screen? or showing rick roll video instead?

I have 2 scenes in my app, first scene is just download the assets(textures), and the second scene is the main scene, which use AR foundation with face tracking. NOT WORK happens when the download finished and the second scene start, it is crash and can not do anything. I will try adb to find the problem, thanks a lot for the reply

[rain leaf]

maybe instead of switching to second scene, you can try showing all the textures (using canvas image maybe), see if everything is downloaded properly. Also if you havent done it already, show some error popup whenever there's error encountered during download.

[bitter summit]

But it is so wired, the .apk file I built from unity works fine, but the .apk file from google console not, how...

[rain leaf]

did you install it by directly downloading the apk and install it manually, or using the playstore app? I'm not sure but maybe there's some security/sandbox issue

[bitter summit]

I tried both, install from playstore and directly, same issue.

Now I am thinking if the issue because of the ar foundation, some google sdk or what kind of thing, I am not sure, I guess the conflict is between ar foundation and google

Nope

[scarlet gust]

I want to play a unity-made mobile game. If anyone made a game I'll be happy trying it

[neon thicket]

Just download any game off the store and there's a good chance it was made in Unity.

[scarlet gust]

Well that's true

[brazen birch]

None really. Apple is very strict. And the builds are often broken, and you'll need to learn to fix things in xcode.

[brazen birch]

Sure, we have a few related projects that overlap this. We also like to use RealSense cameras for this though as it lets us decouple the IMU and depth camera so we can do even more interesting generative things.

We use this with one of our multiplayer VR games in a laser tag fashion, with a custom faceplate we built for the quest. It's fun

[merry gust]

I mean like this most steamer use gyroscope

[brazen birch]

All I see is a phone recording it's gyro.

Rather *tracking

Which is pretty easy, you shouldnt have any issues with that

[merry gust]

Like this if its with green screen

Its cool ?

[brazen birch]

I'm not sure what the question is, there doesn't seem to be anything complex there. But the answer of can I track an IMU, position, GPS, gyro, etc and display something on a screen that is green - then yes you can

[sterile gull]

Hey all, we're in the process of scaling a game and a decent fraction of our users are experiencing a black screen on launch on android. Our analytics are not picking up on the cause, working theory is that this issue occurs before their initialization.

The project is using URP.

From what I've gathered from forum threads, I've tried :

• disabling multi threaded rendering
• forcing openGL3
• using 32 bit display buffer
• blit type set to always
• disabling AA

I wrote all the shaders in the project, nothing that is known to cause such an issue afaik.

I'm open to any and all ideas. Seems most of the stuff I find dates 2014-2016.

[neon thicket]

The one time I've seen this, it was resolved by reinstalling the app completely. I think manually clearing the cache helped too.

I never really knew the cause. Just that something in the update made it incompatible.

[sterile gull]

Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately I'm 95% sure this isn't our problem. I think users are getting this on fresh installs, or at least if it's after an update then they aren't very vocal about it.

[neon thicket]

Well, unless you can get the same device they're using, I'm not sure how you would even begin debugging.

Unless you have a tester who can logcat it.

[unreal flint]

hi, i have a question. the question is if I can put links to youtube in a game that will be uploaded to the play store

[brazen birch]

Sure just place a UI in front, with a black bar on the too and bottom.

[brazen birch]

Find one of the users and pay them to do QA for you. Send them a build with some of the autographic modes removed. Maybe it's detecting a supported graphics mode that doesn't work.

Without seeing the code I can't be sure. But any experienced dev has a clear launch sequence with a fallback in case of an error, and the screen should never be able to be programmatically black

[loud agate]

I have a problem importing admob plugin. it always says resolution failed, but somehow the manual resolution works, but force resolution fails.

My mobile game seems to be locked on 30 FPS

it literally has no content whatsoever (just moving objects)

[twilit yacht]

hello everyone, I was wondering if I could ask some advice? I'm pausing developing my videogame for Lent, and would like to know if anyone could help me fix the code? I have it built to Android, however I'm using the MicroFPS asset, and it's using too many scripts. I need someone to help me take out the unneccesary code so it will run at a higher framerate on my dev phone

Mobile devices default to 30fps, you can change it in code

[neon thicket]

If you're looking to hire someone to do that, you can use the forums. #📖┃code-of-conduct for links.

And yes, "free" work (ie, collaborations) go there as well.

Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to save images on the device (android/ios) outside of the gallery, somewhere hidden and if no, what plugin would you recommend me (i was going to sue https://github.com/yasirkula/UnityNativeGallery)

[alpine jay]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-targetFrameRate.html

On mobile platforms the default frame rate is less than the maximum achievable frame rate due to the need to conserve battery power. Typically on mobile platforms the default frame rate is 30 frames per second.

[twin moss]

Yeah I actually found out sooner

I put it on 120

Sooner or later when I finally do the graphics settings I'll add the ability to change the frame rate

[alpine jay]

good luck

how much performance does URP kill for a mobile game? I want to make shader graphs but thing is URP is necessary so I wonder if my game is gonna lag

[neon thicket]

It's the universal pipeline, which includes mobile. So ... as much as it needs to while also being the thing you should be using for mobile.

[brazen birch]

You can save them anywhere you have access to with the raw file system. But your access is restricted, so if you post it outside of your applications folders, someone else can see the photos using their app or over USB. The right answer is in persistent storage I believe

Anyone knows why i can't download the iOS build from the Unity cloud build anymore?

It worked all the time, now whenever i scan the QR code it tells me to install the profile over and over again, installing leads me to the unity website to login in, then it sends me to the dashboard

Scanning the QR code again will then let me install the profile again and it repeats over and over again

Why does the platform make a difference for weapon sway?

right.. so "weapon sway" to me, means when you move, it sways left/right ... what are you using it to actually mean?

Input.GetAxis() is just returning a float .. so however you turn with your mobile input, use the same float for that

sure, try it

Does an Android build only include the scene and its contents or the contents of the whole project?

If I have a project with numerous scenes how can I build only one scene and not include the whole project?

Some unused scripts of the included scene are getting in the way.

Does anyone here use an alternative method to Test Flight to send and upload test iOS builds?

[maiden kernel]

You could set that one scene to be 'scene 0' so it loads into that scene first?

Hi! So I'm trying to solve some errors preventing my project from building to Android. I got an error about dex sizes, which I fixed by adding some extra code in launcherTemplate.gradle, but now I'm getting an error where my project has AndroidX dependencies but AndroidX isn't enabled.

This project uses AndroidX dependencies, but the 'android.useAndroidX' property is not enabled. Set this property to true in the gradle.properties file and retry.
  The following AndroidX dependencies are detected: androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1

I opened gradle.properties and couldn't find any values pertaining to AndroidX. I read some info saying I need to enable Jetifier to enable another thing called Jetpack in order to make AndroidX stuff work with my project, but when I looked in the Android Resolver settings I found that Jetifier was already enabled. I'm at the stage where I don't want to touch anything in case I break it, because I don't fully understand what's happening here.

[fallen compass]

Deselect the scenes you don't want to include, in build settings

Anything that is used / referenced at runtime will be included in the build.

[vestal gust]

Is it possible to run a game I made in Unity on an iphone?

[brazen birch]

Yes

But you need to install the iOS build target and build it on am apple device or with unity cloud

Although you can cheat with websites and web builds

[vestal gust]

Do I need to be a registered apple developer

[brazen birch]

I'm pretty sure yes, they have an ad-hoc developed account now too. But I really hate apple, and can't advise much. I also have an apple dev account so it's not really something I've used without one

[fervent viper]

Hello, for some reason when I tried to build in unity a release version of my project, with the scripting backend IL2CPP and with ARM64 this error appeared any clue of why this is happening?

[fringe arch]

I have metal and arm64 in my Info.plist Required Device Capabilities. iOS 12 as the target. I am getting rejected at review because of this. Is this because of the target version? Should I remove metal as suggested by forum posts?

[tired lily]

What does your rejection letter say exactly?

[fringe arch]

@tired lily We were unable to install the app on iPad. The UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in the Info.plist is set in such a way that the app will not install on Ipad.

[tired lily]

hmmm did you try to install it yourself on a test device? I just checked an app I got approved literally wed and it has the same in its plist

[fringe arch]

Here is mine

Yes I installed on 2 newish ipads in test flight

congrats on the approval, hopefully this will be the last rejection after I get this resolved. What Unity version?

[tired lily]

2020.3.18f1

[fringe arch]

hmm 2020.3.28f1 here

[tired lily]

was the bundle rejected automatically or was that a reviewer note?

[fringe arch]

I think it is a review note, went through Waiting for review, then In Review

[tired lily]

Yes I thought so. Did you try setting up a sim with the reviewer's device type and ios version? Maybe it's not installing for a different reason and this is a red herring

I target the same iOS version as well

[fringe arch]

I haven't tried that, i will test that out

is supported platforms correct?

[tired lily]

yes, but your architectures is different. I'm building for arm7

oh that's your iphone target, okay same there

[fringe arch]

hm

i am only building for ipad

[tired lily]

I target both ipad and iphone so not sure there. We don't have any problems installing to ipad with the required device capabilities you have so I assume the problem is elsewhere and the reviewer note might not be accurate

[fringe arch]

ok thanks -- I'll try building with the simulator, hopefully that will uncover something

[fallow aspen]

I have a script that has 'public MonoScript attachScript;' in the project but not in the scene. The Android build keeps failing because of this reference. It looks like the Build includes all scripts in the project folders regardless if they are not in a scene.
This is a GameObject script that attaches a script to the GO through an automation process. Is this allowed in Android?

[tired lily]

MonoScript is from Editor namespace, it can't be in a build. You're doing something wonky

your description tells me something is wrong with how you've done your automation. Otherwise, the standard suggestion of putting this script containing the MonoScript field into an Editor folder or conditionally using it with #if UNITY_EDITOR would apply

[fallow aspen]

I tried the #if and it doesn't work on a definition, only on code in current attempt.

I found I could assign a script to a generated Go. So that is what I am doing.

[tired lily]

is your automation happening in the editor or can it happen in a build? You can't have any references to anything inside UnityEditor in a build

[fallow aspen]

I can happen in play but I never tried Android build. I could switch to Pc windows platform and try. But I see your point. I could leave things in place to create the hierarchy in the editor or play automation then remove that script from the hierarchy. But in this case the script is not being used. Is just sitting an a project folder.

I should add that This script has no need in a build which is why I am having trouble trying to exclude it from the build. So how does one go about excluding it from a build while needing in editor menu or Go component in play?

I looked at these but they dont seem to fit the bill for me:
https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/208456906-Excluding-Scripts-and-Assets-from-builds

....because I have a script that references Editor type items in this build. I was thinking that scripts not in the scene would be excluded but that doesnt seem to be the case here.

[tired lily]

Maybe that script is being stripped already by UnityLinker. Relying on it is probably not a good idea though

[fallow aspen]

Its looking like I would have to have two projects then. One for automation and export the packages to the second project.

I smell pain.

[tired lily]

What is your automation doing? Your "needing in editor menu or Go component in play" makes no sense. You can make editor menus with scripts in the Editor folder. If it's an actual component, why is it a component at all? You have a script that can never exist on a real GO in a build

[fallow aspen]

I found this technique where the editor creates the GOs by parameters and then attach that script to the Go so it documents itself. Then I can change the parms in the menu and create another Go without losing the prev settings.

It works really well until trying to build. I think I have to rethink my strategy or project configurations.

Its late. I have to rest on this convo we had.. Thanks. I am open to more strategy suggestions.

Hi, does anyone had a problem with capturing and playing sounds from microphone on android?
I created empty project with button on the UI, which starts recording sound and plays it from AudioSource.
It works in the editor, but when I build apk on the android it doesn't work.

What's more if I get device caps of each microphone, it says that each one of them has min and max frequency equal to 16000

ToggleMic method is invoked when the button is clicked

{
    private AudioSource _audioSource;
    private bool micRecording = false;
    private int sampleRate = 48000;
    
    void Start()
    {
#if PLATFORM_ANDROID
        if (!Permission.HasUserAuthorizedPermission(Permission.Microphone))
        {
            Permission.RequestUserPermission(Permission.Microphone);
        }
#endif

        _audioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
        
        int minFreq;
        int maxFreq;
        Microphone.GetDeviceCaps(null, out minFreq, out maxFreq);

        sampleRate = Mathf.Clamp(sampleRate, minFreq, maxFreq);
        Debug.Log($"Min freq: {minFreq}, max freq: {maxFreq}");
    }

    public void ToggleMic()
    {
        if (!micRecording)
        {
            _audioSource.clip = Microphone.Start(null, true, 20, sampleRate);
            _audioSource.Play();
            Debug.Log("<color=#FF0000>Recording Start</color>");
        }
        else
        {
            Microphone.End(null);
            _audioSource.Stop();
            Debug.Log("<color=#FF0000>Recording Stop</color>");
        }
        micRecording = !micRecording;
    }
}```

You need to use xcode, which requires a mac.

damn that sucks xd

having iphone as a gamedev is a mistake then

im not gonna buy mac just to check if the game is working lol

Oh wait, is this just an explanation of what SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier does or do I need to call UIDevice.identifierForVendor?

[rain leaf]

iirc, it's just the explanation, you still use the deviceUniqueIdentifier for all platform

[tough fulcrum]

I'd like someone experienced with iOS development to point me in the right direction with testing and publishing my app from Unity to an iPad. I DO NOT have a mac, but I COULD use a friends or my professor's for about an hour or so.

[keen tulip]

Are you also in the game's families program?

[rain leaf]

if you just want to deploy your app to an iOS device, maybe you can use the free dev account, but the app will only usable for a week iirc. that said, I dont think an hour or so will be enough, especially if said mac device hasnt been set up for unity/app development.

if you want to publish it to itunes, I dont think a day or so will be enough, the review process itself takes days, and it's a rare occasion to see 1st submission pass the review

[old cypress]

Can someone try and help me understanding how XCode works with Unity? Everytime i want to build something from Unity i have to close XCode completely, else it just won't compile. I also have to select the provision file every time - can i change set the one file i have and use it everytime?

[fallen compass]

Dunno why you have to close XCode/ Unity to work with the other.. I keep both open all the time (quite often multiple of each)

Add the team ID in Unity's player settings and it'll add that info the XCode build, you won't need to select the team/ profile stuff then

[rain leaf]

There's a setting iirc called additive build or something which if you are not using it, it will rebuild the whole xcode project

It's Append build, you're most likely using Replace build

[old cypress]

All i want is it to compile while XCode stays open

And for it to build faster since it doesnt has to clean build everytime anymore

And since (sadly) time is running fast, i won't probably have the time to read a guide for it :/

[quartz kernel]

That's how it behaves for me when I choose the append option. Just runs and updates xcode when done

[past quail]

I am having issues building/testing for android. Has any1 tried that the build buttons are gray and no devices are detected?

[rotund knot]

Go to your player settings, locate color space and change it, maybe android build doesn't support the one you've set it to..

[past quail]

ok, ill try gamma over linear! thanks

[rotund knot]

For the device section, enable usb debugging in your mobile, plug in and refresh again..

[past quail]

yea just got that solved! thanks

[rotund knot]

Awesome

[old cypress]

Could you show me how i can set this up so building won't cost me this much time?

There's no setup, I just have "build xcode project" checked and then choose append instead of replace

hey, I'm trying to add google play games services to our app, I configured both the Unity side of things and Google Cloud/Google Console. I'm getting a "UISignInRequired" as the status code when I try to authenticate the login.
what are the known problems that lead to this ?
I also added the emails to the testing section

[fallen compass]

If you set the team ID and tick automatic signing.. it doesn't matter which you select from append/replace

[left lily]

Hello, I have an issue when building for iOS.
Whenever I build the project again and I select "Append" It will still override my signing configuration.
I have different profiles for debug and release but Unity will set the same for all of them.
Is there any way in Unity to define which profile to use for each scheme?
Thanks

[arctic lichen]

Having issues building to an android phone. I'm able to just build and then copy the apk into my phone's downloads, but I can't build and run using the unity editor build settings and selecting my device like most tutorials show. I get an error that my device isn't responding and to make sure its plugged in and usb debugging is on. Both these are true

[old cypress]

I tried, but everytime i press "build and run" on Unity, the settings are getting resetted

[fallen compass]

I never use build and run, so dunno

[old cypress]

So whats the best way? I change something in Unity, open the project in XCode and just compile again? Does it even get the changes then?

[fallen compass]

yes, it'll show a pop saying there's been changes

[old cypress]

I'll try, might take some time with my old Macbook

Hello everyone. Im having an issue building for android, from a very specific source.
My project uses the unity-integrated mobile notifications package, installed before this issue as version 1.0.3 through the package manager.
After updating it to 2.0.0 to comply with the new android 12 security whatnots, the build fails with error: lambda expressions are not supported in -source 1.7 as the only cited error. anybody else encountered something similar? i wish to add that im 100% that the package is the one causing the error, as if i downgrade back to 1.0.3 it works without issues.

[rain leaf]

Upgrade java? Which java version do you use?

[old cypress]

Didn't work, it just rebuild the old project

[autumn parcel]

@rain leaf i figured, but then again its auto installed through unity hub and it seems to be 1.8, not 1.7 like the error is claiming

or am i looking at the wrong numbers here

[rain leaf]

try typing 'java -version' just to be sure

[autumn parcel]

typing it where XD

[rain leaf]

in the Command Prompt / CMD if using windows

[autumn parcel]

doesnt seem to work from root, gotta move CD to somewhere else?

[rain leaf]

thats weird, I can simply type it in any directory

maybe you havent add it to system path

yeah, checking google also shows that it should work anywhere

@rain leaf figured it out, heres the output :

Hey guys, I have a colour picker in my game like so

But I can't seem to get it work universally for all mobile devices

setColor = colorPicker.GetPixel(Mathf.FloorToInt(a), b);

This is my code

What happens is when the colour picker, which is the small pencil thing on it, goes on blue it works for say iphone

so it presents the blue colour

but on samsung, when the picker on blue, it chooses purple instead

Is there a universal solution for this so it works for all mobile devices?

greetings. On a Mac OS cloud build, I can download from the cloud and play without issues (sent to cloud from windows computer, downloaded to my old mac laptop that I can't even run unity on). But, when others download the app from the link I give them from unity cloud build, the file shows as damaged and they can't open it. I'm using Unity 2020.3.29f1

[rain leaf]

unity ads indeed collect data (by default)

Unity Ads has probably collected device information, like IP address and device identifiers, and information regarding the delivery of ads and your interaction with them, all of which may be shared with ad publishers and attribution companies.

@rain leaf it doesn't recognize adb because i dont have android developer tools installed. Do you need that installed to do usb debugging?

Hi, can someone please help me. My app closes after the unity splash screen. Please help

[neon thicket]

Don't be annoying, your problem isn't so important that it needs trying to ping an entire discord server.

[rain leaf]

I'm not sure if unity also install android developer tool when it install android sdk. Try checking running process in task manager after you build apk and see if you have adb.exe running in the background.

But still, you should try to reconnect the device while it's not in locked state, and see if there's any "Allow USB Debugging" pop up

[arctic lichen]

Allow usb debugging popped up the first day i was trying and i said yes and still got the error. It was really frustrating seeing all the answers on forums be so condescending like "this is a pretty simple error and it tells you what to do. Turn on debugging in developer options" as if anyone who got to the point of forum posting didn't think of that already.
I ended up factory restting the phone and that did the trick. I can build and run now to the device. Not sure if there's anything else i can do with that. It was the main thing i needed but i also would like to actually debug things like touch detection on there

Last one. In unity it shows error for NDK

[signal anvil]

how do i fix this

when i click retry it keeps showing this

Probably can be fixed removing all vestiges of the android module. In the past reliably fixed reinstalling Unity version completely and installing cleanly.
But first might try restarting the Hub.

Hi, can someone help me to fix a problem with my game that closes after unity splash screen. Please

[pearl lintel]

I have a problem related to first-time prefab instantiating. On mobile, there is a small lag when I instantiate a prefab for the first time (the prefab is very small, it's just a text object used for damage numbers). I implemented an object pooling system hoping that it would alleviate this issue, but it still lags for a short time the first time I activate one of the prefabs that I instantiated on the object pool. What should I do?

[odd arrow]

You can hide lag during loading stages. Pre-populate pools for runtime.

[pearl lintel]

That's already what I'm doing, but my object pool instantiates the objects and deactivates them on the same frame, so they never get rendered. Should I be rendering them for at least a short while so that the object is actually loaded on the memory?

[odd arrow]

Also especially relevant for UI objects, do not deactivate them, instead use canvas group component to just not render them and remove from raycasting

[odd arrow]

Here, you can find more optimization methods for UI https://unity.com/how-to/unity-ui-optimization-tips

[pearl lintel]

The text is not a UI object, it's a TextMeshPro rendered on the world (not on any canvases).

[odd arrow]

Still, just like anything else you can turn off render.

[pearl lintel]

Okay, I will try disabling the renderer instead of the object itself. Thank you!

I need help with setting up IAP purchase for android app. I'm getting error "Purchase failed because Purchasing was not initialized correctly" I can put a link to a full question in stackoverflow if it is allowed.

[delicate needle]

Hello, I am kinda new to Unity, been using it for only 2 months.

For my final university assignment I will be making an android mobile game which I would also like to publish on IOS Apple Store later, not only on Google Play.

That being said, does Graphics API matter? If it does, which Graphics API should I use for both of them? Do I have to use Vulkan for Android Phones , and Metal for IOS Phones? I'd like to hit two birds with one stone if possible, so that there does not have to be any reshading for the other one.

[rain leaf]

Anyone has any idea in declaring Ads ID for playstore requirement? The deadline is April, 1st, but I don't think I've found the solution yet. It's mentioned in the forum a couple of times but I dont think there's any legit answer or solution yet

[polar leaf]

Any up to date guide on how to add iOS frameworks (not xcframeworks)?

I found a few build processor scripts but they all seem outdated and need tweaking to work, which I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

[maiden kernel]

So I'm trying to build a game to Android but am running into a problem where some major objects in the scene are almost completely black, even with a directional light shining directly on them. They're perfectly fine in the editor.

The objects are from an asset pack, I tried both the 'regular' and 'mobile' versions of the materials and neither are working. I'm sure there's some really obvious solution to it but I've been reading over info and documentation about lighting and haven't found any helpful info yet.

I also posted in #archived-lighting but nobody's responded yet

[fallen compass]

The graphics API doesn't matter, they're different settings and iOS only supports Metal

There's no "reshading", whatever that means. When you switch platforms, Unity reimports everything to be how it needs to be for the platform being loaded

If I remember correctly it's cause by your SDK level and you need to change ethe android SDK

Hello everyone

I am working on an android app which works perfectly on the Unity editor but when I build the app and try it on an android phone, it just turns pink, I’ve tried checking “Auto graphics API” but same thing. Please what can I do to solve this?

Thanks

[rain leaf]

your shader might be too complex so it hit the max interpolator limit (16 on opengles 3), try creating simpler shader

[knotty cedar]

I’m not really using any shaders

[rain leaf]

only standard shader? are you using URP or just built in pipeline?

[rain leaf]

it crashed the unity editor? what files did you move?

[knotty cedar]

hey @rain leaf I just created a new project project, no setting or anything extra, just a text but still got the pink screen

[fallow aspen]

Text mesh pro?

[knotty cedar]

no

[fallow aspen]

I pushed super sensor asset scene to phone an it works. No text mesh pro

[knotty cedar]

when I install the app and try to open it, it shows me something about not being incompatible with the phone...

[fallow aspen]

You get more than I do. I get a thick white line like its the Unity logo then closure

[knotty cedar]

hmm, I get this before the app opens though more like a pop up, maybe you have to fix some shader issues?

[fallow aspen]

Ya know I do have shaders... Just Unity materials and textures but with other asset images. This looks like its gonna be a tough one to crack or a lot of asset manipulation.

... and it was such a simple project too.

[knotty cedar]

yeah, understand how it feels, maybe try resetting the player setting?

[rain leaf]

you mean the whole screen is pink?
Try setting Blit Type to Never in the Player Setting

btw, which unity version, and device type?

[fallow aspen]

@knotty cedar The previous one worked in Unity 2020.3.4f1 with JDK 28.0.3. The failure happens in 2020.3.30f1 with JDK 30.

Does unity allow iOS and android apps to run in background? and what if the app is closed? Does it allow background processing and fetches eg. location updates?

[fallow aspen]

My prev post is missing some terms. There is one gradle per Unity version. A new project in 2020.3.30f1 some how clobbered the building in 2020.3.4f1. The 2020.3.4f1 used to compile but now it doesnt.
These kinds of failures are costing many developers time and money.

[fallow aspen]

Forever Unity and beyond. Does Unity support ever look in here or is this just developers trying random fixes?

[neon thicket]

Developers trying random fixes. This isn't an official support server. You'll need to contact Unity through their customer service, or try asking on the forums.

[keen tulip]

When will my app reviews and stars start appearing in the Play Store phone app?

[rain leaf]

Could take days, especially if it's 1st time publishing. It can also take hours to propagate to all playstore's servers from the time the review is completed/approved

[lavish mantle]

@keen tulip So i just put one up on the playstore(android) a few weeks ago and it took 5 days for the review to allow it to go to the store, there there are other steps you have to take before you can fully publish it.

But I do have a question if anyone is open for me picking their brains on an Issue I am running into with the game I am developing. I have a script "Round Ending" which simply checks a few bools/Ints and it populates the correct end Screen(just Ui Images) while building in the editor it works flawlessly (there are 0 errors or warnings) I have tried the default execution order of scripts as well as playing with them a bit- However the only 1 of my 3 screens that populates when being played (in closed testing) is my win scenario, the TryAgain and GameOver Panels do not trigger at all

[keen tulip]

I was talking about comments and stars

[lavish mantle]

exactly, once you get it fully published and it shows as a public app/game on the playstore it will allow feedback(reviews/stars) which like Melata said can take a while (i believe the Playstore says 3-7 days)

[keen tulip]

There are 5 comments and they have not been seen on the phone for 3 weeks, I guess we need to wait a little longer

thank you

[lavish mantle]

I would say reach out to Google Support (assuming you are on android) if not Apple if on IoS.. there may be something on their backend that is preventing the comments OR there is something else that needs to be done on your end in the developer console.

Good Luck

[keen tulip]

how can i reach google play store support it is very difficult

[tawny geode]

I'm getting these errors when I'm trying to build Android apk. I assume it's caused by Firebase, whenever I remove the Firebase plugin and re import, it works fine. But I'm sick of removing folders and importing again every once in a while to be able to build the game. Can anyone give me a pointer about what might be causing this and how I can prevent it?

[brazen birch]

Click on the errors and Expand the message. There is more detail underneath

Most likely your Android SDK is trying to install a newer SDK because of a build requirement, and failing

[celest tinsel]

So i have published a lot of builds to Google play store (100+) I changed how some of my objects are handled by making better scripts for everything, and when i press play, It loads fine, when i start from splash screen it loads fine, but when i build the app is breaking when it runs on phone, which it has worked previously, specifically it is starting not on the main menu, it is starting a few layers deep, but I have a code that sets an integer right at the start, and that integer makes the main menu appear first. the layers are simply controlled with the set active state. anyone know what this error could be arising from? Im not sure where to even start looking as i have no errors, warning, etc

[brazen birch]

I'd pull the logs off the phone, if it's crashing, it logged something

[rain leaf]

check your language setting, iirc, comments on the playstore are filtered by language, so comments in japanese might not shown up in device's playstore with english language

you can try to view the game's store using browser and add the corresponding language like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<yourgameid> &hl=<languagecode>

Hey guys, so the app I am working on uses voice recognition, but the app is still able to access the voice of the user. How can you make it so that if the user denies permission to use the voice feature for the app, the app cant access that feature?

[whole veldt]

when i have a mobile joystick with a third person camera, the camera rotates when i move the joystick

what im looking to do is have an if statement that is grabbing the subscription, and allowing player to continue or not, i really dont see in any of unities example what it is even that i am grabbing, i have the subscription in my internal testing pulling up the google play subscription, with the dollar amount, and the recurring fee, and the purchase and all that, but how can i check that they have that subscription ?

[wind kayak]

How can I make my game look the same on all phones

[ionic cargo]

Do you mean resolution wise?

[wind kayak]

yes

[ionic cargo]

Making games resolution independent can be a challenging thing especially in android where you have a lot of resolutions
First step would be always identifying which aspect ratio are you targeting 16:9, 16:10, 4:3 etc
Based on that you should set your camera size and place your objects such that the game works for your targeted aspect ratio
For us it was the ipad aspect ratio so all the necessary things which we needed in the scene were visible to ipad users but there were some extra things which were visible to iphone users because iphone has a bigger aspect ratio so you can fit more things
In unity you can switch to game mode and change the resolution from top dropdown and then see how your game will look like on different resolutions
Also if you use canvas UI elements then you can make use of different types of canvases to experiment which one works the best on multiple resolution

[wind kayak]

ok ty

[celest tinsel]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityIAPValidatingReceipts.html does anyone know where this code is plugged in and how i use this tool?

[celest tinsel]

how big is the app

you might just need to optimize it, like instead of using a million instantiate for repeated objects have object pooling

online people are saying to Try disabling Stacktrace Logging in Player Settings

[fallen compass]

do a developer build, and connect the profiler to the device and see what's causing it

[celest tinsel]

have you used android studio? you can emulate a bunch of phones

i do not understand how all the architecture works so i can not say, you can at minimum try it and see if it works, if it doesnt you at least know what the problem is not

you can ctrl + f, then type debug.log, and click on the "find all" button

you can just comment them out

no you have to do it on each one, in Visual studio on mine i saw a reference all in project but it was not grabbing debug so it might not be a thing

[celest tinsel]

depends on what you need to know

i have never even seen dpi come up in my application so i am unsure, where is the dpi located? main camera or?
I think you should test your app on the larger screen size, you can download android studio and use the emulator to test the different screen sizes

[upper frost]

😭

[celest tinsel]

@glossy sluice do you have your app scaling with the phone size?

Gotcha, mine is set to disabled, and my project looks fine across all my devices so i can not really help on this

i have a reference screen size thats about it

and the reference pixels

canvas

all my stuff is ui

sorry, that i can see now that i was disconnected from the issue here

i saw unity has a check dpi function

you might be able to check the screens dpi at run, and make a method that compares the screens dpi that unity reads to set your own dpi?

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Screen-dpi.html

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/QualitySettings-resolutionScalingFixedDPIFactor.html

might be able to make these two things to work

i dont see why you cant, you just have to build it and run it.

you will have limited feature depending on the gameplay because you only have one mouse rather than two fingers

as long as you are happy haha im not using it 😛

im just a wall to bounce ideas off of

i have messed around with both, my current app is 2d

im almost at full launch, but iap is confusing me for two days, and i just got my last update pulled for a policy issue, which i didnt even know could happen in google internal testing, i thought that was the point of the testing part

which?

i went 119 updates without pissing them off, you just kinda fix things as they come up

the issue was one of the text on the button that handles a purchase got crushed, so it was no longer readable and that violates the rules on making sure everything about a purchase is laid out clearly and not hiding anything

which kinda sucks, i didnt realize that, so everything i thought i was testing was actually the previous update, and i just rewrote everything, which all my stuff may have been correct

ya, they gave me a survey asking me how clear was the error, so at least they know they are not clear

its all automated

pretty sure yes, because i get back reports on the application update with screen shots of potential issues within seconds

their algo im sure has "eyes"

much like how there are programs that read text on the screen to you if you are blind

so the button text was smashed into a tiny little box, i also have one button that it said it can not read the text and has a box on where the issue is, and the text is clear as day, so im pretty sure it is not a human testing

i honestly cant say, im sure this last submission for me will be a person because it said it will take up to 7 days

[celest tinsel]

that is unfortunate

i always try and isolate what the problem is

just start removing things i think it could be it

when i find it then i remove components or script etc to find the problem deeper

[cinder geode]

I'm pretty new to mobile dev, but have shipped a PC title so I'm not new to game dev. For testing mobile compatibility, does anyone here successfully use emulation? (i.e. Android Studio, etc.)? I'm running into a bunch of crashing/issues. Same question for iOS development.

Things run fine on my actual device, though, so I'm wondering if it's better practice to just buy all the hardware I need and just use hardware to test rather than emulation. Wondering what other folks do...

[sonic otter]

Emulation used to run great, but with the dropping/limiting of support for arm device emulation (which android phones run on) in android studio, it makes it waaaay easier to just get a cheap phone and run builds on the phone instead.

As for iOS, well you're probably aware they have their own annoying clause that requires that you develop iOS apps on an apple device. (I've heard it's possible to emulate MacOS and run xcode + the iPhone emulator within the emulator, but I've also heard that it still runs like crap frame wise even with a beefy PC)

[cinder geode]

thanks so much, this is basically exactly what I needed to know. I kept running down rabbit holes trying to figure out either how to build a Unity x86 build, or how to emulate ARM, and I couldn't figure out either.

Great to know for iOS as well. I wasn't aware of the annoying clause, but I hadn't done any research at all yet.

Will just go with the cheap phone approach! I guess we just cross our fingers that running well one phone ==> runs well on most pohnes

[celest tinsel]

idk i use android studio and emulate stuff and it works fine, i also have blue stacks on my pc that i can run from too, its not a phone but still gives you an apk build

[cinder geode]

hmm do you emulate ARM or export to x86, or do you somehow have ARM builds run on x86 emulation?

[celest tinsel]

you can publish to google and just have your friends/family download through your internal track

i have unity build it in apk and android app bundle and it does the rest for me

o very nice, what was it dexitma

its cool you did not have to redo much

such a odd ball thing

[cinder geode]

what is cloud application testing? I'm currently using Cloud Build (well, I have it set up, but haven't really made use of it)

ohh, that's epic. So it's sort of like all the benefits of emulation (not having to own the device), but none of the downsides (except $ cost). Thanks for sharing 🙌

[sonic otter]

Mac in cloud is a solution for iOS (which sidesteps their requirement for YOU buying a mac, and you just rent a remote connection to one)

[cinder geode]

as long as it's a reasonable price, I'm not going to pinch pennies over this

[sonic otter]

I have emulation setup for both my work and home pc's for android studio, but like I said their decision to dwindle support for arm emulation has turned me off and I think it's way faster for me to just run builds on the physical phone

helps me benchmark builds too

[cinder geode]

yeah that makes sense, this is perfect, thanks everyone 🙌

[sonic otter]

The mac pro is $135/month

[cinder geode]

yeah most likely I'll take the approach of

1. use my personal android phone, buy a cheap iphone, and use my personal old mac laptop for rapid iteration -- hope this gets things 99% of the way there
2. subscribe to these services for a ~3-6 months before/after shipping to resolve emergent issues with specific hardware (remaining 1%)

Hello!

Please tell me if there is any way to force enable rendering via Vulcan in Android builds.

Placing Vulcan at the top position in the Project Settings/Player/Other settings/Graphics APIs does not help.

On test devices, the game runs under Vulcan, only if the OpenGL support is completely removed from the project. But in this case, devices that do not support Vulcan will stop working.

Maybe someone has faced a similar situation and somehow solved it?

[narrow cliff]

Hello everyone, Ive been having this issue with building my game to Android for the past few weeks, I've tried nearly everything I could think of, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at the last step on releasing my first ever game, but I have no clue how to move on from here

[sonic otter]

It's trying to run an emulator

just export the build to android studio and import as a gradle project from there

[rain leaf]

my answer would be exactly rewriting the error message

[rain leaf]

I personally would let the engine choose which graphics api run best on the device. Not all chipset can run vulkan efficiently, resulting in actually worse performance than opengl es.

[final spear]

Alo! is there a way to save all my progress when exiting a game as in the state of the variables and such and load them on start or do you have to playerpref save everything?

hey there, my game runs fine in the editor but when I build to android and run It freezes right after it loads. Logcat shows what's in this picture. Any ideas? I guess it cant write in the game directory? In my game I use 2 JSON files to save stuff, which I create on startup if they don't exist.

[rotund knot]

The image isn't clear, verify your guess by going to your game directory(com.company_name.gane_name), under data(subfolder) check if you'll see the json files that contains your saves.

[rotund knot]

You can save using json too, it'll write all your variables to a json file.

[final spear]

would that work on mobile

[rotund knot]

Yeah

[final spear]

alright thanks!

[rotund knot]

When I tried to build and run for Android this error shows up

I did download the Android package from Unity Hub. Anyone knows how to fix? Much appreciated

[twin garden]

Does anyone know why my app bundle I uploaded was only 300mb but the download size on play is 600mb after setting up asset bundles

[glossy sluice]

im pretty sure you have to go in unity hub-installs-click the 3 dots of the unity version your using-add modules-and where it says platforms click the arrow on the left of android build support and install both things that show up

anyone has experience with InputField for mobile?

[final spear]

anyone know how to fix this? when building an APK

[twin garden]

Did you recently click split apk's? I was getting the same error when I tried that

[final spear]

haven't

something to do with ads

[twin garden]

ah

[final spear]

i think

at least

yeah i removed this from my assets folder and resolved dependencies

and it built

[twin garden]

Like this

[final spear]

maybe you have a certain asset pack multiple times?

this might help

[twin garden]

It's just the 1 bundle with some mp3s

My old app download size was just under 150mb

Then I added 2 more songs so decided to do the bundle and now it's 700mb

That's so dumb. God damn it I hate google

[boreal pawn]

are there any reasons an iOS build would crash on startup, but not in the editor or on android?

just asking in case i don't need to do the whole development build compilation and profiling thing

[tired lily]

Are you using third party dependencies? 2 of the last 5 causes I had involved firebase

[final spear]

when i build and try this grid layout group on my phone, after inputting something and entering the boxes all move to the center for some reason? even though they stay in their place and just do a simple animation as intended on the editor, any ideas? o.o

[celest tinsel]

Does anyone know how to keep the androids default back button open on the screen? some phones you have to swipe up to reveal the back button. I just want to have it be on the screen always

[dapper musk]

go to player settings and android, just deactivate fullscreen

[celest tinsel]

fullscreen window > windowed?

[twin garden]

fyi for anyone who gets this in the future. the internal dev track in the play store was temporarily serving up my game as an uncompressed apk. after a while it went back down to the original size

[jagged delta]

so for some reason my android game completely stopped running, crashes on startup and doesn't have any errors in the adb log.. how do i reset the project or make a new project but copy everything over?

[jaunty jasper]

just a quick question, how do mobile game sales and revenue compare to those of steam and itch sales and revenue?

[hollow sluice]

Hey, I'm creating google play merchant account and I'm wondering on section "What do you sell". I'm not sure what to pick. I'm wondering between "electronic goods" and "services". I will allow players to buy in-game currency for real money. Should i pick electronic goods?

[brazen birch]

Services are built for another company. Electronic goods are built for yourself.

IMO anyway @hollow sluice

But that's just them categorizing you, I don't think it matters much what you pick

Is there anyone here familiar with CI/CD options in Unity? I'm looking for one I can implement for my team specifically for mobile builds.

[dire magnet]

https://unity.com/features/cloud-build

(one option)

Otherwise you can build from the command line - which will allow the build to be used in any CI/CD framework pretty much: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/EditorCommandLineArguments.html

[glossy sluice]

I have a game in mind that will be a variation of Sudoku. Should I develop it with or without the Unity game engine? I am a beginner. Will the Unity engine facilitate the development of my game idea or will it make it more complicated? Ping me please when you answer my question. Thank you!
