Can't "Log In With Microsoft" to install the Unity SDK

[jolly path]

My playfab account authentification just got linked to Microsoft, i don't have a a PlayFab password per say anymore : so when I try to login after installing the playfab extension in Unity editor, the standard login gives me a "email or password erro", and "log in with microsoft" gives me a null exception : "Microsoft.Identity.Client.PlatformsCommon.Shared.DesktopOsHelper.GetWindowsVersionStringInterna"

It's a very frustrating situation, any help would be appreciated 🙂

Update : i'm running Unity on mac os, and I think the issue is related.

Some info here, I might not have the latest on this because I know someone was working on this. But last I checked it's not working.

Hi thanks for the update.
I kinda worked around this, since it was my first time on PlayFab I deleted my account, created a new account directly from the extension in the unity editor and i was able to create an actual username/password credential and skip the Microsoft login

Still pretty uncomfortable though, took me a while ^^

Sorry about the round-about way to get in there, we're aware of the problem and have a workstream going to fix it.

Hi Ronald,
Once I'm up and running, can I get rid off the playfab editor extension ?

I have conflicts between 2 versions of "Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens" and "System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt"

My other plugin needs those.

I don't seem to be able to keep both :/

Yes, you technically don't need it to begin with. Nothing stops you from installing the Unity SDK yourself and setting your title id in the settings.

The manual install instructions for the unity SDK walks through that. https://github.com/PlayFab/UnitySDK?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-installation

[jolly path]

cool, I suppose that now that I did the setup through the editor extension, i don't even need to follow those instructions right ?

I guess it implies some scriptable objects setup that have been populated once and for all via the editor extension, now i'm good to go ?

[cerulean crater]

I think that's the case, but if you're going to uninstall the editor extensions I'd recommend getting familiar with which object has that setting populated in case you need to debug later

[jolly path]

thanks, appreciate the help.

just in case, do you know if I can keep 2 same assmelbies in any way ?

liek reference specifically one for the relevant plugin

[cerulean crater]

I don't have experience doing this myself, I use the C# SDK directly and set the title id in code

PlayFabSettings.TitleId = "144";

[jolly path]

and the other for the other ?

[jolly path]

shouldn't be too hard.
i mean the editor don't ask much, your key, the title id, and that's pretty much it

[cerulean crater]

I don't know, the way unity handles plugins is sort of a mystery to me. But I'm sure there are others around the discord who have experience with this.

[cerulean crater]

Be careful not to ship your secret key 🙂 Your client shouldn't actually need that. The editor extensions only asks for it so that it can create titles on your behalf I think.

[jolly path]

oh, right, you mean it shouldn't be included in builds (or shared version control for that matter)

[jolly path]

pretty new here, is there a channel I should ask in ?

[cerulean crater]

That's right, for the most part I'd expect whatever you throw into Unity should be client only. I guess you could do your server build in Unity but its not how I would do it. So there should never be a need for the secret key to be in Unity.

You can start another support channel here with the updated topic or ask in the playfab-chat channel. 🤞

This is also a sort of generic unity question about conflicts between plugins, so you could also try the unity discord/subreddit.

Thanks mate, appreciate the help
