Advanced Builder - Manage multiple versions of your game

Hello, I have no experience at all building for uwp windows 10...
I don't even see an option to do that in Build Settings. But maybe it's because I'm on a Mac.

 

Hello,
I hope to be able to work on this soon...

 

basically you just have to add another Universal SDK to PlatformWindowsStore.cs. The specific SDK should be selectable as a string unless you can list the installed SDKs like in the unity build settings.
Additional Parameters are
EditorUserBuildSettings.wsaGenerateReferenceProjects
EditorUserBuildSettings.wsaSubtarget
EditorUserBuildSettings.wsaUWPSDK
EditorUserBuildSettings.wsaUWPVisualStudioVersion

 

A new update is now available

Version 1.6.2
- NEW Now compatible with Unity 2018!
- NEW Added settings to remove spaces from the build path

WARNING: If you're building for Android and are upgrading to Unity 2018.1, you will need to 'reset' the platform architectures to add support to the new ARMv64 architecture. Just click on the 'Reset architectures'' button under the Android platform section.

 

@PygmyMonkey In the next update could you also include FAT again. I have had to modify the code to add it back in, but in short some plugins do not play well with ARM64 so cannot do the "All 3" configuration (it requires IL2CPP on Android).

 

Hello! Thanks for this update! Is it possible to add for Android architecture combinations? Becouse I want to make fast developmnet builds using mono but mono allows only ARMv7 and x86.

 

Hello to both of you.

I just submitted 1.6.3 that add back support for FAT (ARMv7 + x86).
It should be live in a few days

 

Does the update allow setting the Windows SDK version?

 

Sorry it does not.
I still didn't took time to take a look at it, and don't think I will :/

 

A new update is now available

Version 1.6.3
- NEW Added back the FAT architecture (ARMv7 + x86) for Android.

WARNING: If you're building for Android and are upgrading to Unity 2018.1, you will need to 'reset' the platform architectures to add support to the new ARMv64 architecture. Just click on the 'Reset architectures'' button under the Android platform section.

 

Thank you for the tips and updates!

 

Thanks for providing this valuable tool.

Is there a way to use "symlink" in the build process, to speed it up? Thanks

 

Hello,

Are you talking about symlink for iOS build?
If the answer is yes, there is a toggle that you can check in the Advanced Settings section of the Advanced builder window!

 

Hi,

From the description:

you will absolutely need Unity Pro or Unity 5 (because custom builds requires Unity Pro).

Do I need Unity PRO in order to use this asset?

 

You would only need pro if you're using Unity 4.x, which is several years old. Most likely you would've upgraded by now and should be just fine. Unity 5+ (2017.x, 2018.x etc) has all the features pro used to have.

 

Thank you, I thought so but to be sure I wanted to ask.

 

Thanks a lot for answering @RealMTG, and @cybersoft for the find. I'll update the description for the next release

 

Hi @PygmyMonkey

I'm using the Unity IAP Plugin. When selecting Amazon or Google Play, does the Advanced Builder automatically set the Unity IAP correctly to:
Unity IAP’s Window > Unity IAP > Android > Target ...

Or must this still be done in code using "AppParameters.Get.distributionPlatform" ?

Thank you.

 

Hi @PygmyMonkey

Any news on this? I would also need to build for Windows Store.

Thanks!

 

Hello,

Nothing particular happens when you select Amazon or Google Play, this are just examples distribution platforms.
You need to do whatever you want as you said.
For that you can use custom build process: http://www.pygmymonkey.com/tools/advanced-builder/#tab-1417378865226-3-3

 

I'm sorry there is no support for that :/

 

@PygmyMonkey
Ok, thanks for the feedback.

 

Hello just to confirm because i haven t seen the answer in the forum (maybe missed it)... your demos are tested on mac computers. but building for iOS/Mac from PC architectures work without a problem too? like https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/ios-project-builder-for-windows-15522 ?

 

Hello,

Sorry it looks like I missed your message...
I don't know if you can build for iOS/Mac from a PC. But if you can build for iOS/Mac from a PC using the Unity build Window, then it will work with Advanced Builder.
If not, it won't work
I haven't done anything special to make that work (if it doesn't work by default).

 

How do I get this to build an Android APK with just ARMv7 and ARM64 combined? x86 seems to be no longer welcome in an APK when uploading the binary to release.

 

Yes, I purchased this plugin yesterday and have come across exactly the same issue. (For reference this is with Unity 2019)

 

Anybody checking this thread? PygmyMonkey?

 

Hello,

For anyone having this issue, please send me an email (contact at pygmymonkey dot com), and I'll send you the updated file if you don't want to wait for the next update

 

Nice asset but needs update

 

Hello and thanks

Why does it need an update? Is something not working?

Thanks.

 

Please update plugin to avoid "m_x86DeviceFilter" error for Android.

 

Hello,

I've just submitted an update on the Asset Store to fix this issue and making it compatible with new versions of Unity.
Just need to wait a little bit for it to be approved

 

A new update is available!

Version 1.6.4
- NEW Supported architectures for Android are now ARMv7 (32 bits), ARM64 (64 bits) or both,
- UPDATE Minimum Unity Editor version is now Unity 2018.1.

 

Is there anyway to make one of the builds a Server Build? I don't see a check mark like the standard build path has?

 

@PygmyMonkey Is your documentation site down just now?

I went to the URL on the asset store page (http://www.pygmymonkey.com/tools/advanced-builder/#tab-1417379218575-5-2) and got this:

 

The last archive on The Way Back Machine for the website is June 1.
From the looks of it, @PygmyMonkey hasn't been active on the forum for a couple of years!

Is Advanced Builder abandoned?

The wayback link above is actually good for getting the documentation - I've made a local copy if anyone else finds this and is stuck.
