Common Behavior Mobile Apps Question.

Hi all,

I have to try simulate the basic behavior of mobile apps using the new UI, but I have a some problems.

1- If i need to generate a list with videos from Youtube channel and then play streaming? I can’t found documentation for this, only expensive plugins in asset store.

2- And the common UIWebview in IOS, Webview Android, etc? Same problem.

3- Any Unity Webkit?

Unity really don’t have this capabilities or something?

Sorry for my english.-

Are you creating a game with these features, or just creating a mobile app? If just a mobile app, you may be better off using a different framework for HTML 5 apps that can be deployed to both devices. Sencha, Titanium…etc.

is not a public app, is a personal test the possibilities to create a mobile app using unity.

With the new UI i think is very viable and very potent. But i have this problems with streaming videos or using webkit and then i have to investigate how can validate login with facebook, twitter or another social webs.

It’s not really a good idea and there was another thread about it just a moment ago.

1, 2 and 3 are something that you need to make yourself or buy. It’s not cheap cause its not trivial to make.

It’s a shame, unity really have much potential for mobile applications.
I tested phonegap but the performance in android is too poor.

Well Unity performs a lot worse when it comes to apps, long load time, eats battery 5-10x vs native and you miss most of the native features. It’s a lot more work to implement normal or complex UI system compared to the tools that are actually made for it. Then for iOS and WP your app might even get rejected if it does not behave like apps should.

Yes, but with Unity have Multi Platform with native code.

I don’t need a complex app, with the common features for me is sufficient xD

Native code does not matter if it’s not native UI. There have been a lot of fail stories on these and other forums past years when people tried to save time using game engines for simple multi platform apps and then got rejected or downvoted.

But If i create a mobile game with youtube video streaming? or multiple Social network login?

Obviously is not more efficient than fully native app, but this features are default in all apps or games.

Today this features are common (default) for all apps or games.

Well it’s up to to the reviewer to decide. If it’s a game then there is no problem. At this point I don’t understand what type app/game you are doing. Youtube streaming has own set of rules in mobile apps.
