How to remove Facebook SDK from WP8 Build only

Unity Engine
,
1

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to port my app to WP8, but my project uses the Facebook SDK and Game Analytics (for iOS and Android). With Game Analytics, I simply unchecked the GA_SystemTracker, but I don’t have an object in the scene view with any Facebook components added. The FB.Init code is not called on a WP8 build, but the compiler complains about FB,cs. The only work around I’ve found so far is to
#IF UNITY_IPHONE || UNITY ANDROID
in each function. I can’t do the entire class, as other scripts reference it. My concern with this method is also that the plugin is still updated fairly regularly. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

(I know the question is old but)
This may help you,

Using this plugin will compile on all platforms but sadly the plugin is not up to date.:cry:

We use a “FacebookService” interface here. All our scripts use this interface to interact with Facebook. They do not use the Facebook SDK directly.

We have two classes that implements FacebookService. A RealFacebookService and a FakeFacebookService.

This code isn’t as robust as our ServiceManager, but it’s an example on how to abstract out the real Facebook SDK.

public class ServiceManager {
  
  public FacebookService facebook {
    get {
      if (m_facebookService == null) {
#if UNITY_METRO || UNITY_WP8
        m_facebookService = new FakeFacebookService();
#else
        // I'm sure this isn't how the actual Facebook SDK is initialized.
        m_facebookService = new RealFacebookService();
#endif
      }
    }
  }

  private FacebookService m_facebook;
}

We will usually write a wrapper interface for anything that needs different versions for different platforms. This way only our ServiceManager needs to know the platform, everything else can just rely on the interface.
