    Good Morning

    I developed a very basic game for tizen, and specifically for Samsung Gear S2, after fighting some caveats with Tizen SDK I was able to deploy the game to the device and it runs smoothly, I tried to upload to Samsung store and they rejected it because several reasons, but one of them is driving me nuts because I can't find any solution, the problem is that when the app is send to background it quits, I tried modyfing the tizen-manifest.xml but any changes to it render the app undeployable to the gear, in the platform settings there is not any adjustment for the background behavuiour like in iOS, I don't know what to do for the app to resume when reentered not to restart.

    The second question is not error related but is a limit to functionality in my opinion, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong/weird but the playerprefs data only persist when application is running, my game has five levels and you can preserve data between them with playerprefs feature but once app is closed all data is lost, so I cannot save the best score or difficulty level reached.

    Thanks in advance, sorry my poor english.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately the Gear S2 is not supported by Unity. Hopefully someone from the community can help you out. But officially there is not support available.

    Hi

    ¿Really? that's a pity, the little s2 has potential, support shadows, specularity and runs good despite what I mentioned, thanks for the quick response.

    Check around in this forum, some people have been able to run projects on the Gear S2. I'm not sure exactly how and I haven't tested it myself.

    Any plans to support the Gear S2? I have one and would like to develop for it.
