Native Plugins and Unity 5b

Hello, I am trying to upgrade my plugins to work with Unity 5
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/10825
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/7421

Android
The way Unity collecting resources for building jar is obviously changed, so I changed plugin resources structure to fit new rules, but there is the issue with I do not know how to fix:

Code (CSharp):

1. AndroidManifest.xml:6: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@string/app_id').

But the is string app id value in the project:
in Assets/Plugins/Android/res/values/ids.xml:

Code (CSharp):

1. <stringname="app_id">216817929098</string>

Here is example project with have compilation errors with Unity 5, and not compilation issue with older Unity versions:

IOS
When I try to compile the Xcode project (Xcode 6) the scripts from Assets/Plugins/IOS isn't added to the Xcode project. I saw in the release notes that deep plugin folder support added, but nothing about that scripts from Assets/Plugins/IOS will not work any more.
Can you give my advice how should I update folders structure to make it work.


Thanks in advance.

 

Hello.
I also had the same problem.
It would help us if you would the answer.

 

I hope Unity will notice with thread and will provide at leas some instruction of how to manage native plugins with Unity 5 or is it just issue of Unity 5b.

 

Bump. Having this issue in Unity 5.0.0b14. Unable to build to android because the "No resource found" error for the XML/file_paths and Integer/google_play_services_version, despite them being available.

Would appreciate a fix!

 

Hey @Yury Habets, thanks for reply.

So you mean I just need to get latest Unity version and it will fix IOS issue?

Got it, thanks will need to change plugin architecture I bit but that's okay

Cheers!

 

Okay, well atleast I know how to rebuild plugin architecture to work with the Unity 5

 

This is great news in monday!!!!

 

Yea, almost done, Android Native 5.2 will have Unity 5 support.
But steel waiting the answer about IOS plugins compilation issue.

 

Hello, @Yury Habets, I have the problem with project resources files in Unity 5.

You mentioned earlier

So, I built Android Project as Library Project

AN_Social manifest file is as following:

Code (CSharp):

1. <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
2.     package="com.example.an_social"
3.     android:versionCode="1"
4.     android:versionName="1.0" >
5.  
6.     <uses-sdk
7.         android:minSdkVersion="8"
8.         android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
9.  
10.     <application
11.         android:allowBackup="true"
12.         android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
13.         android:label="@string/app_name"
14.         android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
15.    
16.         <!-- File Sharing Block -->
17.         <provider
18.             android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
19.             android:authorities="APP_BUNDLE_ID.fileprovider"
20.             android:exported="false"
21.             android:grantUriPermissions="true">
22.             <meta-data
23.                 android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
24.                 android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
25.         </provider>
26.         <!-- Block End -->
27.    
28.     </application>
29.  
30. </manifest>
31.  

As you can see, it contains FileProvider description for file sharing.
File 'res/xml/file_paths.xml' is in project 'res' folder

'res/xml/file_paths.xml' content showed above:

Code (CSharp):

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2. <paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
3.     <cache-path name="shared_images" path=""/>
4. </paths>

As a result Library Project was built successfully.
an_social.jar file was copied to Plugins/Android/libs folder in Unity project.

In Java code I get Uri for shared file in internal storage using FileProvider class (line 26).

Code (CSharp):

1. @SuppressLint("NewApi")
2.      public static Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, byte[] byteArray) {
3.    
4.          try {        
5.              Log.d("AndroidNative", "Creating Share URI with external storage");
6.              Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byteArray, 0, byteArray.length);
7.        
8.              ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
9.              bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
10.              String path = Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), bmp, "Screenshot", null);
11.              ShredUri = Uri.parse(path);
12.              Log.d("AndroidNative", ShredUri.toString());
13.              return  ShredUri;
14.          
15.          } catch (Exception ex) {        
16.              try {
17.                 Log.d("AndroidNative", "Creating Share URI with local storage");
18.                 File tempFile;
19.                 tempFile = new File(inContext.getCacheDir(), "screen.png");
20.                 FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);
21.                 fos.write(byteArray);
22.                 fos.close();
23.            
24.                 Log.d("AndroidNative", "Time to Get Uri From FileProvider");
25.            
26.                 ShredUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(SocialConf.GetLauncherActivity(),  SocialConf.GetLauncherActivity().getPackageName() +  ".fileprovider", tempFile);          
27.            
28.                 return ShredUri;
29.            
30.              } catch (Exception ex2) {
31.                  Log.i("AndroidNative", "Get Uri from FileProvider failed! " + ex2.getMessage());
32.                  return Uri.parse("");
33.              }
34.          }
35.     }

But, unfortunatelly, I have next exception while getting image uri from FileProvider:

In previous versions of Unity project worked correctly.
As we know Unity 5 has new logic for collecting resources needed for build.
Could you give me any advice to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.
