We are very proud to present our first 6 plugins for immediate use in your games. All our plugins are true Unity plugins that are designed to be dead simple to use. Setup takes just minutes so you can keep adding features to your games without any hassle. The first batch of plugins available for immediate download is:
iAd
Mobclix
DeviceMotion (Gyroscope support)
MediaPlayer (iPod audio support)
StoreKit (In App Purchasing)
CoreLocation (GPS location and compass)
We have 2 more plugins in the final stages of testing and documenting: AudioRecording for easy access to the microphone and GameKit Bluetooth support. If you have any plugin requests, donāt hesitate to let us know and we will put it on our list. The more votes it gets, the higher up the list it goes. We appreciate any and all feedback so please donāt hesitate to contact us and let us know whatās on your mind.
So, the AudioRecorder plugin release had to be delayed due to Unity seemingly not having the ability to load an audio file from disk that was not included in the project file. We should all file feature requests to get this ability (unless Iām just really tired and missing something here). Well, the AudioRecorder plugin now has a brother that will be included in the package: AudioPlayer plugin. This will be a native audio player that can play files out of your documents directory or the standard iPhone bundle. I have to write double the docs now and test twice as much code but it should be ready by Sunday at the latest.
The GameKit plugin now has a demo and just needs some documentation and it is ready to go as well. More on this in the next couple days.
How compatible is each of these with Open Feint? I ask becuase the other ad plugin does not work with OFā¦(I canāt get them to play together at least.)
These are all true plugins that donāt use AppController categories which means they are fully compatible with OpenFeint. You only run into problems with the PlayerPref hack-type plugins (that are not really plugins at all as defined by Unity).
To use any of these plugins with OpenFeint simply rename the OpenFeint PostprocessBuildPlayer to PostprocessBuildPlayer_OpenFeint and you are good to go.
Where is it in your StoreKit sample project I would change the product ID I set up in iTunes Connect? I am wondering if it is the StoreKitGUIManager.cs script where the line that reads:
Is this correct? And if so what is the format I need to use? I know for a quick start, your customers would love for you to make a comment line explaining where to put in their information if they want to test the sample themselves quickly to see it work.
If this is not correctā¦ where can I put in my Bundle ID and Product ID? And what is the format?
I am VERY EAGER to get this working as I have tried for months to get other solutions working to no avail.
@Logic Twilight, all the code in the StoreKitGUIManager.cs is examples of calling each of the StoreKit plugin functions. The productIdentifiers should be a list of the exact product IDās you enter into iTunesConnect separated by commas. Your bundle ID goes in the normal Unity location in the Player Settings.
For the full documentation along with comments for each method check out the documentation page: StoreKit Documentation
I guess I need to be more specific in my questionā¦ is this the product ID WITHOUT the bundle identifier?
Basically what I would love an answer to isā¦ How can I take your sample edit it to simply attempt to purchase a non-consimable single product ID?
I think your documentation lacks a simple explanation of where your scripts get the ācom.MyCompanyName.ProductName.IAP_Product_IDā info from. In other words again, where is it I can edit the variable value in one central location (if your example does this) in your sample to make a simple purchase attempt?
I have already set up my IAP in iTunes Connect btw, and I was not referring to the bundle ID for the app in Unityā¦ I was only referring to the variables that need to be edited in your sample that send the bundle ID and product name to the iTunes Store servers.
@Logic Twilight, the docs donāt go into much detail on the iTunesConnect side of things because Apple does an excellent job of that. ProductIdentifierās are quite literally a copy/paste of the exact product ID you entered into iTunesConnect. Anytime the StoreKit plugin has a variable named productIdentifer it must be the exact one from there. The following image is the test application from iTunesConnect that is represented in the sample scene: image link
So, to purchase 1 of the first product in the image above it would simply be:
Thatās all there is to it. The IAP sandbox server has been really shaky lately and quite slow to update. My test products often took over 24 hours before I could do test purchases on them. You also need to be certain that you always log out of your App Store account before testing IAP (Settings ā Store ā Sign Out). The docs have some good info that I got from an Apple rep as well with regard to testing. As suggested by the Apple rep, sometimes you have to reboot your phone as well to get the sandbox purchases to work.
I forgot to mention, ALWAYS watch the logs in the Xcode debugger. The plugins print some useful information in there so that you can figure out what your issues might be.
OKā¦ you just cleared up a BIG thingā¦ see, to someone who didnāt know you had 3 different products set up for your 1 appā¦ it looks like you were referring to 3 different needed arguments like product name, qauntity and maybe some other needed argumentā¦ especially with the naming being āAnother Productā, then ātā (looks like an Integer variable for quantity or something)ā¦ this totally threw me off. I suggest that you either make this clear in your script notation or better yet change this to āProduct1, Product2, Product3ā or MANY customers will end up as confused as I was. I also suggest you make notes in your code that says ā// PUT YOUR PRODUCT ID(s) HEREā where applicable with maybe an example line just below it like "// string productIdentifiers = āProduct1,Product2,Product3ā; I am actually VERY familiar with setting up IAPās on Appleās servers and have tried for months to get it workingā¦ maybe I was always hitting the reported Apple Server problems?
As for other feedback you would be interested inā¦ your documentation for your plugins doesnāt give the developer any starting point and followed through instruction in many waysā¦ I mean it needs to have somewhere in it instructions of where to start and how to continue making your solution work in their implementations. Throwing out just a list of methodās with argument explanations like Apple does is very confusingā¦ it gives the user no direction as to where to startā¦ what to copy and paste and whereā¦ without step by step instructions, its just like throwing a bunch of tinkertoys down for someone else to figure out. One thing Unity has in there documentation that is NEEDED by most non-super-advanced programmers is EXAMPLE CODE SAMPLES THAT JUST WORK ALREADY (with whatever needed changes outlined with simple instructions).
Prime31 can turn this ->āā into this ->ā:lol:ā ā¦ how?
I know most developers are going to use a simple single non-consumable one-time full upgradeā¦ it might be very beneficial (I know it would have been for me) to make a sample project that simplyā¦
1-Checks to see if this one-time upgrade purchase can be made from the device.
2-Reports a message if the purchase was ever made already for that app on that device.
3-IF NO PURCHASE WAS EVER MADE, then offers a button to make the purchase if it was not ever made on that device.
4-Shows the progress of the purchase attempt.
This was what I was hoping for when I heard about your plugin. If you can deliver such an exampleā¦ I would love you FOREVER! MANY PEOPLE WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!
OH WOW! I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE YOU!!! After clearing up the multiple product IDās misunderstandingā¦ I GOT IT TO WORK AND I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!
YOU HAVE JUST MADE ME A VERY HAPPY MAN DUDE!
YOU ROCK YOU ROCK YOU ROCK!
Everything worked perfectly! I totally am a satisfied Prime31 customer!
!!! PEOPLE, GET THIS PLUGIN MAKE SOME APPLE REVENUE FOR A CHANGE !!!
GREAT GOING PRIME31 !!! My clients will be very happy too! :lol:
AGAIN I LOVE YOU! (Actually I love everyone, BUT I LOVE YOU MORE!)
@Logic Twilight, the example you seek for the most part will be below. Hopefully it will turn into :lol:. The StoreKit plugin in particular is quite difficult to provide a drop in working example because it is so flexible, fully app specific and a good portion of the setup is in iTunesConnect. I leave the implementation details of creating a gui as an exercise to the user as it is quite game specific. The code may have a few errors because I am just typing it in untested but it should be really close. The code can be placed in Awake or Start or wherever else it makes sense for your game. It is well commented and illustrates the situation you asked for.
One caveat is that there is no way to show progress. All you can do is send off a request and wait for a response from Appleās servers.
// Make sure the user can actually make payments before showing a buy now button
// If they can't, early out because we have nothing more to do here
if( !StoreKitBinding.canMakePayments() )
return;
// Listen for the event when a user purchases a product successfully
StoreKitManager.purchaseSuccessful += onPurchaseSuccessful;
// Check for first launch and if it doesn't exist display a button
// and see if the user already bought this product
if( !PlayerPrefs.HasKey( "firstLaunch" ) )
{
// Set the firstLaunch flag so that we only restoreCompletedTransactions once
PlayerPrefs.SetInt( "firstLaunch", 1 );
// This could be an existing user who reinstalled after a delete
// so lets check to see if they bought this product.
// This is async, so if the user bought anything the purchaseSuccessful
// event will get triggered and we should give them the product at that time
StoreKitBinding.restoreCompletedTransactions();
// Show a buy now button in your gui that can be removed later if
// you find that the user already bought this product
}
// This gets triggered when a user touches the Buy Now button
public void onTouchBuyNowButtion()
{
// Kick off a product purchase because the user wants to buy this product
StoreKitManager.purchaseProduct( "SOME_PRODUCT_ID_HERE", 1 );
}
// Callback for when a product is purchased
public void onPurchaseSuccessful( string productIdentifier, string receipt, int quantity )
{
// Alright! We got a sale! Give them what they bought.
// Hide the buy now button
}
Hereās an important thing I just found! Even if you are connecting just fine with Appleās serversā¦ if you try to purchase a Product ID that doesnāt exist (isnāt active and working in your In App Purchase settings)ā¦ Appleās Server responds saying āCannot connect to iTunes Storeā! The way I found this is to make product 1 in your example correctly match my own real settings and to leave product 2 as you defined in your example (which doesnāt exist in my config)ā¦ when I purchase product 1ā¦ everything works fineā¦ but when I try to purchase Product 2ā¦ it says it cannot connect every time!
I have tried getting IAPās to work for many months and always got THE SAME ERROR MESSAGEā¦ that it ācannot connect to iTunes Storeā! I have also talked to MANY other developers that GAVE UP because of the same error!.. I BET THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM EVERYONE IS HAVING!
Unfortunately I know nothing of C Sharp (Only JavaScript) and a straight copy paste just gave a parsing error in Unity (no other specific debugging clues). I then made sure to use the standard wrapper that Unity makes when creating a new scriptā¦
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class IAPScript : MonoBehaviour {
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
// Make sure the user can actually make payments before showing a buy now button
// If they can't, early out because we have nothing more to do here
if( !StoreKitBinding.canMakePayments() )
return;
// Listen for the event when a user purchases a product successfully
StoreKitManager.purchaseSuccessful += onPurchaseSuccessful;
// Check for first launch and if it doesn't exist display a button
// and see if the user already bought this product
if( !PlayerPrefs.HasKey( "firstLaunch" ) )
{
// Set the firstLaunch flag so that we only restoreCompletedTransactions once
PlayerPrefs.SetInt( "firstLaunch", 1 );
// This could be an existing user who reinstalled after a delete
// so lets check to see if they bought this product.
// This is async, so if the user bought anything the purchaseSuccessful
// event will get triggered and we should give them the product at that time
StoreKitBinding.restoreCompletedTransactions();
// Show a buy now button in your gui that can be removed later if
// you find that the user already bought this product
}
// This gets triggered when a user touches the Buy Now button
public void onTouchBuyNowButtion()
{
// Kick off a product purchase because the user wants to buy this product
StoreKitManager.purchaseProduct( "SOME_PRODUCT_ID_HERE", 1 );
}
// Callback for when a product is purchased
public void onPurchaseSuccessful( string productIdentifier, string receipt, int quantity )
{
// Alright! We got a sale! Give them what they bought.
// Hide the buy now button
}
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
}
}
with this I got these errorsā¦
Assets/Editor/IAPScript.cs(35,6): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `publicā
Assets/Editor/IAPScript.cs(19,1): warning CS0642: Possible mistaken empty statement
Assets/Editor/IAPScript.cs(56,14): error CS0116: A namespace can only contain types and namespace declarations
I donāt use UnityScript (JavaScript) at all in Unity so unfortunately I canāt convert the script easily. I can read UnityScript just find but the I donāt know the syntax for nuances such as events and other .NET/Mono features. Here is a working C# script though:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class IAPScript : MonoBehaviour
{
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
// Make sure the user can actually make payments before showing a buy now button
// If they can't, early out because we have nothing more to do here
if( !StoreKitBinding.canMakePayments() )
return;
// Listen for the event when a user purchases a product successfully
StoreKitManager.purchaseSuccessful += onPurchaseSuccessful;
// Check for first launch and if it doesn't exist display a button
// and see if the user already bought this product
if( !PlayerPrefs.HasKey( "firstLaunch" ) )
{
// Set the firstLaunch flag so that we only restoreCompletedTransactions once
PlayerPrefs.SetInt( "firstLaunch", 1 );
// This could be an existing user who reinstalled after a delete
// so lets check to see if they bought this product.
// This is async, so if the user bought anything the purchaseSuccessful
// event will get triggered and we should give them the product at that time
StoreKitBinding.restoreCompletedTransactions();
// Show a buy now button in your gui that can be removed later if
// you find that the user already bought this product
}
}
// This gets triggered when a user touches the Buy Now button
public void onTouchBuyNowButtion()
{
// Kick off a product purchase because the user wants to buy this product
StoreKitBinding.purchaseProduct( "SOME_PRODUCT_ID_HERE", 1 );
}
// Callback for when a product is purchased
public void onPurchaseSuccessful( string productIdentifier, string receipt, int quantity )
{
// Alright! We got a sale! Give them what they bought.
// Hide the buy now button
}
}
