Hi Guys, playing with your plugin and having a little problem , what I
am doing wrong ?

Using Unity 5 & Mac & Default settings, created empty project and
using your DemoScene.

On Amazon FIRE HD Tablet PickImage from Camera does not launch the
Camera at all.

Log mentions something about:
Unable to acquire context: EGL_BAD_NATIVE_WINDOW: A NativeWindowType
argument does not refer to a valid native window.

ON HTC One , Camera is launched and taking photo but returning only
Image picker was closed, reason = FAILED message without texture.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help

Hi JariHuomo,
Thanks for writing to us. We are looking into the issue currently.
Could you paste us the log for HTC one if you don’t mind?

Thankyou.

On iOS a little problem too. It is taking a photo, but it does not let user to change crop position

[Voxel-Busters]

Hi @JariHuomo ,

iOS issue
We cross checked with Apple’s sample code and even it has the same functionality. So this seems like a default behaviour on iOS.

Android Issue
Can you please share info about the Android version installed in your HTC and Amazon FIRE HD Tablet. We are currently looking into this and please check our forum for updates on this issue.

[Voxel-Busters]

Hi @JariHuomo ,
Thanks for your time. As we don’t have direct access to Amazon device, got a bit late. Thanks to Amazon cloud testing!
We see Amazon devices need explicit Camera permission which isn’t a requirement for many devices.

On this occasion, we would like to add a new feature in the next release. Have a look at the attachment rough sketch for getting the idea on how we can make it easier for permissions part. This will help a lot in avoiding editing Manifest file.

Hope you love it :).

We will send you a private message on the fixes and update in forum as well. We include these in the coming update which will have the new features as early as we can.

[PsychoPsam]

Hi I just bought this but there is no documentation on how to use it that I can see. All I can find is a link to the forum that talks about a step by step that isn’t ready yet and a couple of assets in the folder for changing settings, and a link to a DOxygen documentation website. Where are the tutorials to set this up?

[Voxel-Busters]

Hi @PsychoPsam ,
Integration for iOS is plug and play.
For Android Integration, please replace PASTE_BUILD_IDENTIFIER_HERE with your build identifier. You can find Manifest file under Assets/Plugins/Android/Native-Plugins_Lib folder. If you already have a root manifest, please make sure you have the required flags mentioned in AndroidManifest_root_activity_settings_sample.txt file. [ http://inft.ly/3bHCHZ8 ]

Please let us know if you see any other issue while using the plugin. Please shoot a mail [ support@voxelbusters.com ]if you have any questions.

We are currently working on tutorials and will be up soon.

Please download the work in progress tutorials from here [ http://inft.ly/3dAYzXX ]. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Voxel-Busters]

Great News Guys!!! Next Version of CPNP will include Android Manifest auto-generation support. Using this functionality, CPNP will auto generate Android Manifest based on native features you choose to use within your game. And is even capable of tracking Player Settings changes and updates Android Manifest accordingly. This makes CPNP completely Plug n Play.

Currently these changes are in test phase and a new update will be rolled out in few days.
