Unity Remote a defunct concept, or should the source link be fixed?

I was looking into development for iOS. In the documentation, the Unity Remote is mentioned, and the docs contain a link to the sources:

http://unity3d.com/unity/download/resources/UnityRemoteSource_3_5_x.zip

It seems however that this link is dead. Does that link need to be fixed, or is the idea of Unity Remote an obsolete concept and should it be removed from the docs?

I got the remote on my iPad from the app store - not a download. Couldn’t get it working though.

Not too bummed about it not working on the iPad because my personal dev environment is Windows currently.
Unity Remote (from the Play Store) from a Windows box via USB cable to a Nexus 7 works well.

“Works well” meaning… it functions. It’s ugly, low resolution and the touch input is not polled very frequently - but that said, it’s damned useful and I’d hate to have to do a full deployment every time I need to test touch input. I imagine it’d be even worse on iOS given you have to deploy through XCode as well.

I think Unity remote is dead, never been updated for long time.
No official comments from Unity on the issue, in general there website has lot out dated stuff and has not been refreshed for long time.
Most of the systems are buggy so do expect broken links or things not working quiet correct.
I personally think they need to hire some more web design and QA to make sure things are updated.

Unity remote is being worked on, so it’s not dead.

You looking for a job?

Unity Remote for iOS still works for me.

But it would be nice if the source was still available, then perhaps someone could modify it to include the 1136x640 resolution. But hopefully that will be sorted soon if it is being worked on.

not to revive an old thread, but Unity now has a version 4 (USB only i believe) has anyone here gotten Unity Remote working with an iPad4 on iOS 7?

i did download the Unity Remote 4 app and installed it but i’m completely stuck on my Mac - i’m not seeing the Remote option/setting showing up at all in the Editor with Edit>Project Settings>Editor using Unity 4.3.

did they move it someplace? or this there some kind of configuration i’m not doing?

any answers appreciated - thanks!

Um, isn’t the USB support for Unity Remote 4 a 4.5 feature?
