FAQ:

1. Does Plugin support Unity 4.6?
Yes it does. However since plugin contains Objective-C code it requires Unity 4.6 Pro. It works with both - free and paid - versions of Unity 5.

Hi Raimis,

It is posible with your plugin to make actions inside the game from the quick action menu? For example, add a button on the quick action pop-up menu to purchase boosters within the game (with game currency, not real money)

Thank you in advance for your answer.
Cheers!

Hello Dexyuzs, for some reason I didn’t receive a notification about someone writting a new post on this thread. I think I have already answered this question via e-mail to you, but I will copy the answer here, in case someone has the same quesiton in the future.

If I understand the question correctly, you are asking if there’s a possibility to dynamically add Quick Action button from game’s code and make it trigger certain actions in game? Answering the first part of the question – yes, you can add buttons dynamically and you can have a custom icon (optional; has to be available during build time), custom title and custom subtitle (optional). Hence you can have a “buy 300 coins” button with a subtitle “You have 600 coins” (can’t remember what are limits for the text before it being truncated). To answer second part of the question let me explain more how quick actions work.

Basically whenever you press a quick action, your game is being either launched or brought to foreground with certain options. This is how it works in iOS not only in this plugin. So let’s say when user presses that “buy 300 coins” button, your app is being either launched or awoken from background and there will be static class available with properties telling which quick action id (you set them yourself) was used to launch the app.
