ZeroMQ (ZMQ) deployed on Android?

[RickyHoughton]

I am using 2020.3.12f - doing dev on Windows 10 using ZMQ pub/sub. The code is working on Windows nicely. The subscriber, which is the unity client, receives 25 updates per second and it runs for hours.

When I deploy to Android (Version 11) - the subscriber does not receive data.

I am using default Android build setting -is there a setting or configuration which would enable the ability to run ZMQ on the Android instance?

Thanks for your time,

Ricky

No idea what this is but if it’s related to networking, start with standard network debugging:

Networking, UnityWebRequest, WWW, Postman, curl, WebAPI, etc:

As with all network code, get it working with Postman or curl first. That makes it NOT a Unity problem. Solve the networking first. You must solve that or anything else is irrelevant. Once you have that working, then try and port it to UnityWebRequest. If it still doesn't work, one handy debug solution is to hook up a proxy like Charles and compare the functioning output from Postman / curl to the output from Unity, and from that reason about where your issues are.

Unity web request acting stupid.

Always get network stuff working outside of Unity in either curl or PostMan, then connect a proxy such as Charles and start trying to replicate the traffic shape with UnityWebRequest. Any other way risks wasting a lot of your time for trivial issues that only the above way will instantly reveal.

And setting up a proxy can be very helpful too, in order to compare traffic:
