mail attachment -> open with Unity app

Hey everyone,

since I didn't find any relating entry using the search function with the words "open with", I am asking this in a new topic:

I want to create a file right inside my Unity app. Then I want to mail this file to someone. I want to assign the app with a custom file extension, so that the receiver gets the option "open with unity app" when clicking on the attachment. All this shouldn't be a problem at all. But what code do I have to put inside my app, so that the app does something, if it gets opened with the file? So, I don't want you to write the code for me. Just point me in the right direction, because I didn't find anything on this last bit of the story.

Thank you so much.

 

So, Unity does not provide a possibility to be opened with a file?

 

AFAIK there isn't any option for that. But you can do that via xcode

Thank you for your answer. But that is the part I already know. My question is, what to do inside Unity, if the user has tapped on the file, which opens the App, because I want to read the file inside Unity. Or in other words: How do I read a file my app was opened with?

 

http://www.infragistics.com/communi...sociate-a-file-type-with-your-app-part-3.aspx like that?

 

So, there is no built-in-Unity-solution to catch that file, right? I would have to implement this method in Objective C, that you mentioned and somehow inform Unity about the file and hand it over manually.

 

There would be editor settings if something like that existed in Unity by default.
