Hi,
I’ve searched the docs & forums, and tried running through setup to figure it out – but no dice thus far.
We’ve got a game that we’re targeting mobile for (iOS & Android), but the game is not distributed directly – it’s instead bundled within a separate (React Native) application which is then distributed. We’re trying to get the Unity side working with our CI/build automation system, and we are currently evaluating between two primary options:
-
Script the Unity build fully within CI system. This will work but requires “full” scripting of the entire process, including checking/downloading appropriate Unity version, etc… Doable but not “off-the-shelf”.
-
Unity Cloud Build. I was hoping this would just work but it’s setup to do the entire process (understandably), and I don’t see any way to stop at ‘build’/be able to get just the artifacts (and ideally an API endpoint to find/download).
We basically want the exact same process/outcome as we have locally from the editor’s build UI – with the result being the raw output from a local build (ie xcode project). Our CI server would then download the latest (raw) Unity build files & manipulate them, as needed, to incorporate them into the final finished product/actual packaged React Native build (with all signing stuff happening on the CI system/for final ‘bundled’ RN app).
Is it possible to use Unity Cloud Build and have it not do any signing – and instead have it precisely mimic what happens when we build from the build UI within the editor and allow us to grab the raw output files (ideally packaged/zipped/etc)?
Currently, setting up a build target for iOS asks for (requires) cert & provisioning profile, etc – which basically blocks me from getting further in my efforts to shoe-horn, since we just want the “raw” output.
Tangential: Is there an official API to get URLs for Unity binaries for a given Unity version string? I’ve found non-official solutions but an official source would be preferable.
Ty!
