Feedback Access to unity meditation via cloud code

Hi,

I think it would be great if we could get some specific id of the last played video or a timestamp of the last played video in cloud code via some kind of mediations SDK for cloud code, as other services have like cloud save and economy.

Reason:
Through some cheat tools (cheat engine) players actually can repeat function calls within the final version of the game, like cheat tool. So we prefer to validate evertything first through cloud code, in the mediation example
we would give the reward via the function after cheat checking.
In order to cheat check we need informations about the last downloaded video that is NOT coming form the client but directly from the mediation sdk in the cloud. So we could check if the video id from the mediation cloud api matches the one sent from the client. In order to prevent calling our GetVideoReward function and everytime getting the reward.

Sound great! I dont have an extra server. We want to verify everything via Cloud Code (beta) from unity.

Will have to understand that first
https://docs.unity.com/mediation/S2SRedeemCallbacks.html

 

Let me simplify.

The mediation backend now tells us anywhere we want that a video has been completed instead of the client.


So my big question is can the "callback URL" be a Cloud function (beta)? (stateless)
Or will the cloud function not accept beeing called outside of the context of the unity project?

 

After reading throught he cloud code documention i come to his conclusion.

Its no good solution sorry.
Reason:
It wants to communicate with your third party server.
It promotes NOT using the new unity backend services(beta).

Technical reason:
Cloud code will not accept the to be called from the mediation server directly (callback URL).
Cloud code requires authenticated users with valid session token, requests throught the client SDK.

Further conclusion:
Aslong mediation doesnt work with the server authorative layer cloud code(beta) it is not really a unified solution yet.
To be exact this solution promotes not using cloud code (beta) but your own server solution, this also means no economy (beta) and no cloud save(beta).

I wrote a thread to the cloud code forum section lets wait for the answer.

(it is a good solution if you don't plan on using the new backend services)
