    I have declared UnitySendMessage in a header file in tizen native as
    void UnitySendMessage(char *gameObject,char *methodName, char *message);
    But while calling this method this is giving me linking error.

    The prototype for UnitySendMessage should be

    void UnitySendMessage(const char *gameObject, const char *methodName, const char *message);

    See if that makes a difference.

    When are you getting this linking error? Could you post some logs? And with which version of Unity?

    Actually the linking error is in building the shared library in Tizen IDE,

    Oh, that is a very different situation. Here is an example project of a very simple dynamic library that includes UnitySendMessage for the Tizen IDE. https://oc.unity3d.com/index.php/s/Q9JOKmB2NCxDam3

    Thanks for the project. But there is no UnitySendMessage. I am able to create dynamic library, but for callback i want to implement UnitySendMessage.

    Ok, so here is the issue.

    At some time in the past the linker flag -Wl,--no-undefined was added by default to shared library projects. You cannot disable it. Because of this you must define all functions in the library. So until we find a workaround it seems that UnitySendMessage will not work in Unity plugins.

    Just thought of one option. You compile a library from the command line. From there you can control the compile and link options.

    Of a Makefile? I don't have one at the moment but you can find thousands of examples and documentation about them online.

    Unfortunately at this time you cannot create a Tizen IDE dynamic library project that will build when using UnitySendMessage.

    As I said before, this is due to the default linker flags in the IDE that cannot be changed. I have spoken to Samsung about this and they are investigating.

    For now your only option is to compile and link your library from the command line.

    I have removed -Wl,--no-undefined option and compile it through command line. But i cannot get callback in unity by calling
    UnitySendMessage.

    hey Rohit, can you share what commands you used to change the linking flags?

    I have created a makefile.txt which includes all the environmental variable.I m sharing it with you. I have included this makefile.txt in makefile and removed "-Wl,--no-undefined" option in this makefile. To create makefile.txt you need to go to project ->properties->C/C++ Build->Environment and copy paste all the environment variable. You can then build the makefile.

    To use the UnitySendMessage just declare it on the header file as
    void UnitySendMessage(char *gameObject,char *methodname,char *messageToSend);

    The makefile i m talking about is same as in release folder.
