Amazon GameCircle 2.x Tips

I just wrapped up implementing Amazon’s GameCircle support in an Android app for the first time. We are running Unity 4.3 and GameCircle 2.x successfully, and it took less than a day, so not that hard…

…but there were a few subtle points mentioned in the documentation and a few other discussion sets that were not clear. Nor were these referenced in one place. So I posted an overview of our experiences and key points to our development blog for anyone interested.

I hope these notes might save someone else time if they are new to GameCircle!

Thanks for the tips. I just started to try to implement the Game Circle and am still struggling with it… Before I found your post, I already did the points 1 2 in you describe in your blog. Now I am trying to figure out the XML question…

My problem is that I already have “AndroidManifest.xml” that was created by NeatPlug in-app and Facebook plugins. And also, there is this new “GameCircleSampleAndroidManifest.xml” that was added to my assets when I imported the amazon package. I understand I need to update some of the entries in my XML file, but I am not sure if I need to merge the two together into a single file… If so, should I just copy and paste the whole content of the amazon xml file to my existing “AndroidManifest.xml”?

I am even scared to think about trying to do the rest…

Hey KevinCodes4Food – thanks for the tips. Would you be willing to add GameCircle to an app of mine? (for a fee, of course) PM me if so.

Thanks for the tips! The manifest file name was really throwing me off…
