Is There A Step By Step Guide?

renman3000 · Mar 13, 2015

Hi there,
Is there a step by step guide somewhere to build for iOS and Android?

Thanks.
I have downloaded the sample project but all I see are various scenes, nothing that I would relate to an iOS build per say.

Which project do you refer to? If you talk about the UCB Demos - there will be a step-by-step guide soon! Otherwise please let me know which demos you use.

1.) Create a repository where you host your files (e.g. Angry Bots or similar to test the setup)
2.) Commit your initial project files (Assets + ProjectSettings folder)
3.) Create a Unity Cloud Build project and add your repository link + go through the setup
4.) At the end it hopefully builds
5.) If not, check the full log for error messages, resolve them, commit and let it build again

Please let me know if this helps!

Hi @David Berger, Thanks for your help. I am at point 3) and am asked to provide a link, this link must it be online, somewhere, or can it be on my desktop, and Unity just goes in and gets it. Also, the SCM type, what should this be?

Thanks!

Hi,

I am on step 1)
At moment I have no idea that is repository...

I found "Source Tree" app for git.. I made repository. How host it?

Edit:
Found all what i need

"Source Tree"(git) + bitbucket.org(hosting)

Already build my app

renman3000 · Mar 19, 2015

Hi, So I downloaded SourceTree, and set up a bitbucket account and created a repository. I am stuck now, tho. How do I upload my project files to the bitbucket repository??

Edit, According to Unity Cloud, my Repo Host in inaccessible.

If you use bitbucket, I can highly recommend their documentation, which is very good. But I just summed up the most important steps if you use the command line (but it's doable with SourceTree too, but I only use terminals so I stick to it for now just lookup the documentation of the repository providers or tools how to do it)

Step-by-step guide
This step by step guide shows you how to setup a git repository on github or bitbucket and use it with Unity Cloud Build. If you have created a git repository you can skip the part Setup GIT repository and go straight to Setup UCB.
I refer to Bitbucket and Github because I host my own projects there and they are free, but feel free to use any hoster you like. As game I use the Angry bots demo. I use Terminal on Mac.

Setup GIT repository
Create a git repository on github or bitbucket and add your project files. You can also use any GUI tool to set it up, but for demonstration purpose it's much quicker to use command line.

Got to https://github.com/ GH, https://bitbucket.org/ BB and create a user.

Create a new repository (public GH,BB or private BB)

Name it e.g. ucbopencontribution

Add .gitignore: Unity GH or Language: UnityScript BB

Get clone url, but use https rather than ssl for now.

https://github.com/username/ucbopencontribution.git GH

https://username@bitbucket.org/username/ucbopencontribution.git BB

Checkout repository via Terminal $:

$: git clone https://github.com/username/ucbopencontribution.git GH

$: git clone https://username@bitbucket.org/username/ucbopencontribution.git BB

$: cd ucbopencontribution

$: open .

$: cd ~/../../../Users/Shared/Unity/4-0_AngryBots/

$: open .

Copy your project files to the new repository folder, copy following folders:

Assets

ProjectSettings

You won't want to check in Library, Temp as they get generated by Unity Cloud Build (Library Caching!), or Unity anyway when building the project and it wastes repository space.

$: cd ~/ucbopencontribution

$: git add --all

$: git commit -m"Add initial project files"

Push the source to the remote repository

$: git push GH

$: git push -u origin master BB

That's the part which adds your project to a repository.

Setup UCB
Create a Unity Cloud Build project using your repository with a Unity project.

Got to https://build.cloud.unity3d.com and login with your Unity Credentials

Select the Free plan if you have no pro license yet. You can upgrade at any time.

Add a new project using your repository url and follow the wizard.

https://github.com/username/ucbopencontribution.git

https://username@bitbucket.org/username/ucbopencontribution.git

Copy the SSH key to your GH or BB account if you use a private GIT repository. It's only one SSH key for all your UCB repositories.

If you select mobiles add a bundle identifier com.organisation.opencontribution and add your development credentials.

Once you save it the project it automatically builds your game.

Hi David, or anyone,
I am failing with the Terminal work.....

I will simply state what I have and hopefully the gods will help.

I created a Github account, a repository with Unity as an gitignore.
I got the clone url, https://github.com/name/someProject.git
I opened terminal and ran it but nothing of note, see pic

Upon this, I opened Github for Mac and took the various steps to match the setup I had above. I got to the stage of Pushing the file, but am told "Failed to get Head", not what I wanted to hear.

Anyhow, I apologize for my rookie ish ness.
Any help is appreciated.

Might be missing permissions, but maybe you would be better of using a gui app like source tree? There are massive tutorials on how to use it e.g.

followed by some tutorials about unity and version control

ANIMA-LT · Mar 21, 2015

My steps(Source Tree + bitbucket.org):

STEP A (SSH key)

1.Login to bitbucket
2. Go to Manage account

3. Go to SSH keys

4. Open "Source TREE"
5 Generate SSH in "source tree" Tools>Create or Import SSH Keys

6. Copy SSH and save private and public key

7. Add SSH code to your acount in bitbucket.org

STEP B (repositories )

1. Create new project

2. Open in Sourcetree

3. Create new folder for unity project(empty) and add GIT

4. It should ask for SHH privat key... or something similar

5. Go to bitbucket and copy link for "Unity cloud"

ANIMA-LT · Mar 19, 2015

STEP C(add unity files):
1. Go to GIT project location and copy all unity project files(in my case to c:\UnityProject)

2.Ignore not needed files:

4. Click unstage files(if project big it take time even 30min.)

5. Commit and Push

6. Add it to unity cloud and it should work

Hi @ANIMA.LT ,
Thanks for your help. Quick question, hopefully you can answer.

I am following your steps however, when I get to STEP A-5, where I must access the Tools menu, I can not. I have no Tools menu at all. Google was not that helpful, nor the Source Tree Help.

Any ideas?

I'm stuck. I followed all the instructions and it says it built for IOS with a success result. but when I click install button it says this build can only be installed on IOS devices and then does nothing. How do I get the build actually on the device?

LouisHong · Oct 23, 2015

@David Berger How do you install on the ios device after the build succeeds? My succeeded but visiting the install link from the email on my iphone does not allow me to install my build, instead it tells me to download the build?

I figured it out in the end, you need to download the binary file and manually upload it to your device using either iTunes or something like iFunBox

David-Berger · Oct 27, 2015

If you device is in the provisioning profile used for your build it should be installable from Safari if you visit the cloud build website via the link. If you added the device recently you need to clean rebuild the project.
