Welcome to the Xiaomi Platform Forum!

As you know Unity has recently partnered with Xiaomi in order to provide easy access to android game publishing in China!
This partnership will allow Unity developers to access Xiaomi’s 200 million active users!

For more information please check the Xiaomi platform partner page [link].
If you’re ready to get started, please refer to our technical guide [link].

As you work to publish your game in China with Xiaomi, and encounter any issues, please post here and Daisy Ke, Overseas Business Manager at Xiaomi Game Center, will be able to help!
For any Unity-specific technical questions, please feel free to post here for community support.

 

Hello everyone, this is Daisy from Xiaomi. If you have any questions about how to bring your games to China, please feel free to post here.

 

hi Daisy, nice to have a official forum here, i see the Xiaomi is still in early access, i ve been asking asking for it but didn t hear from it, my question is would it be possible to publish an android game if it s already live on google play?

thanks

 

Hi. Yes. The developer portal will go live soon. For now, to proceed, please send more information about your game and a test apk (if possible) to overseas-game@xiaomi.com.

Thanks.

 

We're interested in publishing our early childhood education game for kids in mainland China. I'm not sure exactly what category this would best suit? I couldn't find a specific Educational category. Also, it'd be great to have info on the technical aspects of Unity's IAP and how/what will be supported by the Xiaomi platform. In particular I'd like to know if subscriptions (monthly) are supported and do they have some kind of receipt verification system to check whether our users' subscriptions are still valid or whether they've been cancelled.

 

Thank you for your quick and concise answers! It's a shame that subscriptions aren't supported, do you know if there are plans to introduce it?

 

And one other question, is it compulsory to have Xiaomi submit our app for Chinese government approval on our behalf? The cost of that is 35,000 RMB which is expensive. If we can get the approval done ourselves/with our Chinese partners, and we provide the ISBN/require documents/numbers, then I'm hoping we can skip having to pay this fee.

 

Thank you, they were very helpful!

 

Is this service currently active?
So if we sent an email with an APK to overseas-game@xiaomi.com with a ready-to-launch game it could be published soon?

 

Thank you. I have already done this step but I suppose maybe it takes a while to hear back.

 

Hi, i have problem with xiaomi permission on android 5.1, record audio, when i skip special xiaomi permission, While (Microphone.getpos()<1) {} work wrong never false, how can i disable this permission, it should have permission on game install before android 6.1? but dosnt.

 

emmm....sdk在哪下载啊，话说回来大家都可以拿到资格吗。
表示版号真麻烦，unity宣传似乎是说小米会帮忙弄，具体是什么情况啊。

 

@unityjingyao I'm trying to make a build of our game to submit to the Xiaomi/mi store.

I'm a little bit confused as to how I make a product purchase call.

The examples here, https://unitytech.github.io/channel/stand-alone-xiaomi-sdk-doc/#client-side-integration

say to use PurchaseService.Purchase("Product ID", "Game Order ID", myPurchaseListener);

but in the IAPDemo.cs it uses Unity Purchasing to make the purchase via m_Controller.InitiatePurchase

I'm confused. Do I *NEED* to use Unity IAP to make a purchase? or PurchaseService.Purchase? What's the difference?

 

@unityjingyao Thanks for the reply.

- So if I use the latest Unity IAP, it already has Unity Channel in it? And there's no need for me to download any packages or SDKs from Xiaomi website?

- About the product catalog, the docs says to use the Unity IAP Catalog to add products, I also read somewhere that this is only for 'debug' mode (AppInfo.debug=true), is it only for debug or release too? Cause we've been in contact with the Xiaomi guys and they said they have our products configured on the developer portal.

- Do we have to call StoreService.Login before StoreService.Initialize?

This is what I currently have (a simplified version), is that all I need to implement? if you don't mind taking a look it'd be apprecated [Pastebin Link]

EDIT: Forgot about the purchasing code, it's in the XStoreListener

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3.     public void BuyProduct(string ProductId)
4.     {
5.         try
6.         {
7.             if (IsInitialized)
8.             {
9.                 Product Item = StoreController.products.WithID(ProductId);
10.                 if (Item != null && Item.availableToPurchase)
11.                 {
12.                     Debug.Log(string.Format("[Services] Purchasing product (asyncronously): '{0}'", Item.definition.id));
13.                     OnPurchaseBegin.SafeInvoke();
14.                     StoreController.InitiatePurchase(Item);
15.                 }
16.             }
17.         }
18.         catch (Exception e)
19.         {
20.             Debug.LogError("[Services] Exception during purchase. " + e);
21.         }
22.     }
23.  
24.  

 

Thanks for your fast replies!

- In the Product Catalog, do I need to set the override ids for the products? We set the "ID" (product id, e.g. tr_goldbundle_0) but not the override values. Do we need to set those too, or do those have a default value?

- After I close the product catalog it doesn't save a .prop file, it saves a .json file under UnityPurchasing/Resources. If I hit "App Store Export | Xiaomi Mi Game Pay Catalog", it asks me where do I want to save the file, I'm not sure where to put it?

 

@unityjingyao So I saved it to the project root, and it generated 2 'extra' copies (not just one) under Plugins/Android/assets, one copy is MiGameProductCatalog.prop, and the other is MiProductCatalog.prop. Is that normal?

 

@unityjingyao I see, thank you! One more question, you mentioned the new Unity IAP has built-in support for Xiaomi, is that just for purchasing, or social authentication as well? In otherwords, can I still use "Social.localUser.Authenticate(Handler)" to sign in, or do I still have to implement the "UnityChannel ILoginListener" interface and call "StoreService.Login(Listener)" directly instead?

 

@unityjingyao There doesn't seem to be a way to "Import" from a ProductCatalog.prop file? We updated our Unity purchasing and my product catalog window is reset, it lost all its settings. But I do have the .prop files under Plugins/Android/assets.

 

is fee about USD5277 ??
35 000RMB?

Should we pay it in any case?

Where can we see algorithm of game publishing from the begining to end?

In what period should we pay a fee? after game approval or before?

 

Hi @Nick62, could you send those questions to Overseas Game Support <overseas-game@xiaomi.com>? Our team will provide more details. Thanks.

 

Hello to everyone! I read that is possible to publish apps using in app purchases technology and free ones, but is not mentioned the possibility to publish paid games on MI Game Center. Thank you.

 

Hi,

What is the fee in USD for publishing on Xiaomi? Is this fee required for every App publishing?

 

Does someone had already published game to Mi Store? If yes could you please share your data, DAU/MAU ARPU, ARPPU. And what about Unity Ads how it perform what is eCMP? Thanks

 

Hi, just a question:
"The current fee is RMB 35,000"
This mean (aprox) 5438$? or 5.43$?

Thanks in advance.

 

I am from India. If i wants to publish my game to xiaomi store. Whats legal procedure (about ISBN) i needs to do.

Had already send email them (at overseas-game@xiaomi.com) before a week. Till now not any reply.

Hi,

Would like to know if any indie have published on Xiaomi, and if so what are your comment.

 

Hi, i wanted to find the xiaomi marketplace. Does it have a webpage like https://play.google.com/store ? Because apparently i cant find the marketplace. Thank you in advance.

 

Hi, I am from India, How do i add my account to xiaomi app store and upload an app using api instead of ui?

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi,
I am interested in porting our application to MiVR standalone and then adding to the MiVR store. Our application currently supports GearVR and Oculus Go.
We are currently on Unity 2017.4 and we do not have any in-app purchases.
I have read thru a lot of documentation about this process but it is somewhat confusing...
So, a few queries:
1. Do I need to add any MiVR SDK to our application? (Note: I imported the custom package mivrcore_1_8_2.unityPackage and now the Oculus OVRManager amongst others are broken )
2. What current Oculus features are incompatible?
3. Is a fee required to publish and promote on the MiVR store. I have seen 35000RMB mentioned but as an indie developer this is way out of our league currently.

Thanks for your help.

 

Is this forum still alive?

 

Hello. We are getting some problem while creating business account on mistore. Can you help us?
