Hey, @Voxel-Busters
Any update on 3.0 release?
We are looking forward to a new version of the Purchasing plugin with subscription support. Wouldn’t want to switch to Unity Purchasing because of this.
Hello, I was searching for a plugin to implement Google Play Saved Games and found this one which seems promising.
I have some questions before purchasing:
- Can this plugin work together with Unity IAP?
- Does it support Unity 6.000?
Thank you for making this great product.

V3 is live now! Get it now
We need to thank each and everyone who co-operated with us during this journey.
Free Upgrade - Within 15 days (Only for buyers who bought the product during v3 development)
We request you to upgrade for free within 15 days, starting today.
Post 15 days, you are subjected to normal upgrade price.
Asset Store page automatically handles if you are eligible for free upgrade.
As we need to go with an upgrade price (since v2 in 2020), We have few things to share with you!
- We actually spent more time than anticipated for the following reasons.
a. Had to scrap using Unity IAP subscription implementation as there is no public roadmap for Store Kit 2 and want to avoid analytics/3rd party dependency
b. Had to add Ads Kit to the offering list as it was requested by many from pretty long time.
c. Had to include supporting recent native os releases (iOS 18 and Android API 35) and Unity 6 - We revisited every api and modified as required to make sure it offers better functionality (Media Services and Sharing support more content types now)
- We are redoing all of video tutorials and use-case repos to cover maximum functionalities for all of the features.
- We are still committed to make Essential Kit an essential part of your current and future projects.
We kept the upgrade price very minimal (> 55% discount) to make sure it’s affordable for everyone and considering the sustainability of the product.

Hi,
I purchased V2 after seeing a forum post saying that a free upgrade to V3 is possible when purchasing V2, but it turns out that a free upgrade is not possible in the Asset Store. Please check.
Hi,
If you are eligible for the free upgrade, it will automatically show up. However, please contact our support team to look into.
Thanks,
VB Team

Hey guys,
Thanks for the wonderful plugin, recently integrated into my project, just having a small problem while integrating local notifications for Android, the notifications are working fine but the notification icon is always an empty white image, I did override NotificationAndroidProperties BigPicture and LargeIcon and tried to use method SetAndroidProperties while creating INotification instance with NotificationBuilder, but it’s still not working, here’s a code block for your reference.
NotificationAndroidProperties AndroidCustomValues = new NotificationAndroidProperties();
AndroidCustomValues.BigPicture = "Assets/App/Logo/Logo - 512x512.png";
AndroidCustomValues.LargeIcon = "Assets/App/Logo/Logo - 512x512.png";
var timeIntervalTriggerNotification = NotificationBuilder.CreateNotification(notificationID)
.SetTitle(notificationTitle)
.SetBody(notificationBody)
.SetTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(80, repeats: true)
.SetPriority(NotificationPriority.High)
.SetAndroidProperties(AndroidCustomValues)
.Create();
// schedule notification
NotificationServices.ScheduleNotification(timeIntervalTriggerNotification, (success, error) =>
{
if (success)
{
Debug.Log("Request to schedule notification completed successfully.");
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Request to schedule notification failed with error. Error: " + error);
}
});
Your help would be highly appreciated, thanks
Glad you liked our plugin 
Notification Icon(White Small Icon in most cases*) here in the context can only be set via our editor settings as its more of a constant for the project and need to exist at build time.
- From Android Lollipop(Android >= 5.0), coloured icon is no more used and needs to be a white transparent icon (similar to this). I listed the same in our tutorials section.
Cheers,
VB Team
