Windows Phone 8 support

I was wondering when will Windows Phone 8 be supported with Unity as I thought it was going to be supported when Unity 4.0 was released but don’t see it listed under the list of platforms that it supports. Is it coming at a later time? If so is there an ETA for when that’ll be?

It’ll come in a later release. Where did you read it was going to be part of 4.0? I’ll get that fixed. (At the Unite conference David said at the keynote that we’d support WP8 and Win8 for 4.x.)

In short, I assume late January or February 2013. But I’m not sure if that would be the release version or a more widely available beta build.

We know there is a working (probably alpha stage) build… Source: Unity Windows Phone 8 at Microsoft Build Conference! | Unity Blog

Microsoft had an event planned for the end of this month but now it’s pushed back to end of January, I assume that’s because WP8 support is not ready yet… Source: Microsoft Events

On the other hand, Unity appears to be the Microsoft’s flagship engine for WP8 support… That means, they (MS & Unity) would do their best to make it available as soon as possible.

So, I think we’ll have something ready for purchase at Q2 2013 at worst… I’ve currently have an active WP8 developer account and impatiently waiting for that as well!

I hope this helps… :wink:
