Bug Authentication Hang

Hi,

I might be misunderstanding something, but it seems like async isn't working? When I authenticate the user, my game freezes for around 2-3 seconds as it authenticated.

1. Load in Scene
2. On Scene Start - Authenticate User and also Play video

Do I misunderstand async or is there a bug? Why when I authenticate the user does the video not play until the authentication is finished?

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     private async void Start()
3.     {
4.         if(Utilities.CheckForInternetConnection())
5.         {
6.             await InitializeUnityServices();
7.             await SignInUser();
8.         }
9.     }

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     private async Task InitializeUnityServices()
3.     {
4.         InitializationOptions options = new InitializationOptions();
5.  
6.         #if UNITY_EDITOR || DEBUG_TOOLS
7.         options.SetEnvironmentName("development");
8.         #else
9.         options.SetEnvironmentName("production");
10.         #endif
11.  
12.         if(UnityServices.State == ServicesInitializationState.Uninitialized)
13.         {
14.             await UnityServices.InitializeAsync();
15.         }
16.     }
17.  
18.     private async Task SignInUser()
19.     {
20.         if(!AuthenticationService.Instance.IsSignedIn)
21.         {
22.             await AuthenticationService.Instance.SignInAnonymouslyAsync();
23.         }
24.     }

Thanks

 

Code (CSharp):

1. Utilities.CheckForInternetConnection()

is the issue as it is not async? It hangs for 2 to 3 seconds.

Is this going to be fixed or is there a different method for checking if connected to the internet that is async.

Thanks.

 

Is there any insight into this?

Is there going to be a async method for this?
