Enabling Game Center

Build & Deployment Build Automation

What is the best way to enable game center while using cloud build? I know there is stuff out there like this, which work:

However, that is super hacky and since Game Center is officially supported by Unity, I think they would have a much better way. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Bumping the thread :wink: Anyone?

I haven’t tried this yet, but I think you can strongly link the Game Kit framework in a post-process method, like so:

using System.IO;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.Callbacks;
#if UNITY_IPHONE
using UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode;
#endif

public class PListPostProcess
{
    [PostProcessBuild]
    public static void OnPostprocessBuild(BuildTarget buildTarget, string path)
    {
#if UNITY_IPHONE
        // Get path to Xcode project
        string projPath = PBXProject.GetPBXProjectPath(path);
        PBXProject proj = new PBXProject();
        proj.ReadFromString(File.ReadAllText(projPath));
        // Read target
        string targetName = PBXProject.GetUnityTargetName();
        string projectTarget = proj.TargetGuidByName(targetName);

        // Get target for project Plist
        string plistPath = Path.Combine(path, "Info.plist");
        PlistDocument plist = new PlistDocument();
        plist.ReadFromString(File.ReadAllText(plistPath));

        // Edit Xcode project settings to include Game Kit
        proj.AddFrameworkToProject(projectTarget, "GameKit.framework", false); // 'false' so the framework is strongly linked

        // Write plist
        File.WriteAllText(plistPath, plist.WriteToString());
        // Write product
        proj.WriteToFile(projPath);
#endif
    }
}

This edits the Xcode project to make GameKit.framework required.

Alternate solution: click on a .a or .h file in your iOS plugins, and in the Inspector panel you should see “Framework Dependencies.” Check GameKit and you’re done, no need for post-process methods.
