Question Failing to get remote config data

Hi there,

I recently migrated from Unity Remote Settings to Unity Remote Config in order to avoid the config limit.

I only have the two initial environments (Release and Development), and to both of them I imported settings from my Remote Settings as per Unity's own guide. Neither have Rules as I want this config to be available to all players.
I was able to Pull the config to Unity through the Remote Config window.

For some reason, however, I am unable to pull the data from Unity Config. The request is sent and I believe it returns successfully, but it's as if none of my configs are present - when I try to get an int, for example, I always have 0 returned. From what I understand this is the behavior when a key cannot be found.

I wrote this class to manage interactions with Remote Config. This class is attached to an otherwise empty gameobject in the start scene:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using Unity.RemoteConfig;
5. using System;
6.  
7. public class RemoteConfigManager : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.     public static RemoteConfigManager RemoteConfig;
10.  
11.     private void Awake()
12.     {
13.         if (RemoteConfig != null && RemoteConfig != this)
14.         {
15.             Destroy(this.gameObject);
16.             return;
17.         }
18.         RemoteConfig = this;
19.         DontDestroyOnLoad(this);
20.  
21.         ConfigManager.FetchCompleted += ApplyRemoteSettings;
22.     }
23.  
24.     void ApplyRemoteSettings(ConfigResponse configResponse)
25.     {
26.         // Conditionally update settings, depending on the response's origin:
27.         switch (configResponse.requestOrigin)
28.         {
29.             case ConfigOrigin.Default:
30.                 Debug.Log("No settings loaded this session; using default values.");
31.                 break;
32.             case ConfigOrigin.Cached:
33.                 Debug.Log("No settings loaded this session; using cached values from a previous session.");
34.                 break;
35.             case ConfigOrigin.Remote:
36.                 Debug.Log("New settings loaded this session; update values accordingly.");
37.                 break;
38.         }
39.     }
40.  
41.     public int GetInt(string key, int default_value)
42.     {
43.         try
44.         {
45.             return ConfigManager.appConfig.GetInt(key);
46.         }
47.         catch
48.         {
49.             return default_value;
50.         }
51.     }
52.  
53.     public float GetFloat(string key, float default_value)
54.     {
55.         try
56.         {
57.             return ConfigManager.appConfig.GetFloat(key);
58.         }
59.         catch
60.         {
61.             return default_value;
62.         }
63.     }
64.  
65.     public string GetString(string key, string default_value)
66.     {
67.         try
68.         {
69.             return ConfigManager.appConfig.GetString(key);
70.         }
71.         catch
72.         {
73.             return default_value;
74.         }
75.     }
76.  
77.     public bool GetBool(string key, bool default_value)
78.     {
79.         try
80.         {
81.             return ConfigManager.appConfig.GetBool(key);
82.         }
83.         catch
84.         {
85.             return default_value;
86.         }
87.     }
88. }

Other scripts throughout the game can reference the static variable RemoteConfig to get data when they need it:

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void Start()
2.     {
3.         if (globalFillMultiplier == -1f)
4.             globalFillMultiplier = RemoteConfigManager.RemoteConfig.GetFloat("global_FillMultiplier", globalFillMultiplier_defaultValue);
5. }

I assume I am failing because I forgot something or misunderstood the documentation. Please let me know if you have any idea what might be wrong

Specs & Versions:

• Using Unity 2020.1.3f1
• Using the verified Remote Config package (1.0.9)

P.S.
On a different note, I want to never use cached Remote Config data. How can I disable it?

Thanks in advance!

 

UPDATE -

I figured out why I was unsuccessfully getting data - I was missing the FetchConfigs method.
Since I don't want to use any optional flags, I needed to do two things:
1. Add userAttributes and appAttributes structs to my project:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public struct userAttributes
2.     {
3.         // Optionally declare variables for any custom user attributes:
4.     }
5.  
6.     public struct appAttributes
7.     {
8.         // Optionally declare variables for any custom app attributes:
9.     }

2. Alter my Awake method:

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void Awake()
2.     {
3.         if (RemoteConfig != null && RemoteConfig != this)
4.         {
5.             Destroy(this.gameObject);
6.             return;
7.         }
8.         RemoteConfig = this;
9.         DontDestroyOnLoad(this);
10.  
11.         ConfigManager.FetchCompleted += ApplyRemoteSettings;
12.         ConfigManager.FetchConfigs<userAttributes, appAttributes>(new userAttributes(), new appAttributes());
13.     }

My second question still stands - I'd love to know how to avoid cache, and how to set default values for my requested data. Thanks!
