[RELEASED] CloudOnce | Unified Game Services API

Hello, I'm having an issue and was wondering if you can help. I tried to use the contact page on your website but clicking it does nothing.

My project loads to android just fine, but when I import and use CloudOnce I get multiple errors and the APK creation fails. I am using the current version of CloudOnce and the current version of Unity.

 

@Boborus, please make certain that your Android SDK includes all the required libraries. You download them with the SDK Manager, and the required libraries are listed here: http://trollpants.com/cloudonce/gettingStarted.html#requirements

 

Thanks! That was part of my issue, but for anyone else having issues building for Android in Unity 5.3.5 I also downloaded the beta version (5.4.0b18) and it solved an issue that said "Failed to re-package resources".

 

There are several possible causes for the "Failed to re-package resources" error. But I'm happy you got it working

Wow, after a short vacation and see all my issues have been fixed. Thanks a lot!

 

You're very welcome

Hi,

I seem to have a problem logging into google play.
I only see the green Google Play logo window then only a loading spinner and it hangs at that stage. I can press the back button to get to an account selection window, and pressing back on that will get me into the game, but of course I'm not logged into google play then.
I also searched in the logcat to see if I can find the problem but I did not find anything that would give me any clues to whats wrong. I attached it here in the hopes you can help me find what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks!

 

Hi @Froghuto, I looked through the log, but was also unable to find anything helpful. Only advice I can come up with is to make certain your Android SDK is updated with the latest versions of all the required libraries listed here: http://trollpants.com/cloudonce/gettingStarted.html#requirements

Trollpants Game Studio shutting down

Last fall I got a full-time job at another company, so since then I have been maintaining CloudOnce in my free time. But frankly, I no longer have the energy to do so. Sales have also waned a lot in the last few months. So, effective immediately, I will no longer be providing support for CloudOnce. I've made the package free in the Asset Store, and it is my intention to make it open source and put it on GitHub for anyone who wants it.

I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who bought the asset (and thus helped keeping it alive) during the last year. It didn't make me rich by any means, but the experience I've gained maintaining a commercially available asset has been invaluable.

Update: CloudOnce source is now available on GitHub here: http://github.com/Trollpants/CloudOnce
As the project is now open source, anyone is welcome to fork the project or contribute pull requests.

Hi, i`m searching on documentation about how to get or fire and event when cloud load was complete.
Cloud.OnNewCloudValues this maybe the method or the event, but i dont now how to implement it.
Regards.

 

Well, i just have tested and when i activate cloud save, values dont use "highest" mode set it on cloud variables and uses the cloud save.

 

Hi, after more testing i have found more issues.
I dont know why, but with some accounts of gmail, any time i do load from cloud, al data is 0, nothing saved.
Testing with other accounts load fine all data saved on cloud but not respect the highest values, this is, if i have purchased some consumable items and upgrade my ship when i do load from cloud, loss values like basic fire rate on level 5 and loads rate 4 from cloud.

 

Hi, I'm having some questions.
1:Can I do the Android ->GPGS -> iOS and iOS ->GPGS->Android on clowdsave?
2:Is it have to download the GPGSDK too?

 

Good plugin poor support.
We get this error on unity 5.4:

I enabled symlink unity libraries option in build settings but the error stays the same! I have also added gamekit liberary in xcode. nothing!
My unity version is 2018.1.0f2 and also I'm using CloudOnce version 2.6.0

 

HI,

This is a great plug in thank you for making it. I have a problems:

- I upgraded my unity account to Plus, then the data in the editor for CloudOnce disappeared. What should I do?

Thanks in advance,

Robert

 

Hey, I had similar issue when migrating to a new machine and fetching from unity cloud. You are probably missing the 'project dir/SprojectSetting/CloudOnceSettings.txt' file, which for some reason are not included in unity collabortae. Luckily for me, I am also using git, so i was able to find it in my bitbucket repo and download it. This restored all my cloudOnce editor settings.

Big problem is that if you loose this file, and to to create a new achievement, leaderboard or cloud variable, all your current achievements etc. will be overwritten and lost.

 

How alive this library is? Github issues don't exist, but there are 3 contributors, why the maintainer doesn't allow issues there so people can contribute better?

 

I'm using this library, and haven't found any better alternative. Each time there are some required dependency updates, maintainer seems to be on top of it. But I would very much like open issue tracking, I think everyone would benefit from that. I see some room of improvement in some areas, but all in all this is a pretty great package.

 

The first thing that came in odd is that it uses unity-jar-resolver which is supposed to be a plugin and sits in inside plugins directory, but for some reason if you move it to plugins directory Google namespace becomes unavailable and throws compile error.

Also when I want to rebuild the unity package to get the latest unity-jar-resolver it throws compile error, not for jar-resolver but CloudOnce itself.

The fact that I can't seem to find any solution through channels like github issues or a forum, discord server, etc. prevents me to use this as once it is integrated there's no way back unless to change a lot of things to do that.

 

Hi. Are Cloud Variables stored as PlayerPrefs, in addition to GameKit and Google Play Games Services?

I'm having a hard time maintaining CloudOnce in my game, so I will need to migrate to another package. I was wondering if I could release a new version of the game and run a one-time conversion from CloudOnce (without the package being installed) by reading the PlayerPrefs (instead of the CloudOnce APIs).

Thanks.

 

I'm currently struggling as well. have spend 3 x 15 + hours over the past year maintaining and resolving weird dependency conflicts and debugging when it suddenly stops working. Due to lack of activity in the "community" or from the owner. I am also considering migrating to another solution. I would be very interested in hearing what package you are looking at, and eventually how/if you manage to migrate. Would be highly appreciated!

Actually atm, my google play games service is not working at all, and I am completely clueless why, as there are no errors or anything, no diff in git since it used to work, and the fact that apple game center still works perfectly.

 

Hi, how many users can register the Leaderboard? Thx

 

@rpuls, did you figure anything out with this? I just got CloudOnce integrated into my game for the cloud saves and everything seems like it's working from the logs and everything, but when I boot the game up on a fresh install there's no data stored on either Android or iOS. Also checking the CloudKit dashboard shows that nothing has been saved there.

Based on this thread I wasn't sure if it just doesn't work anymore or if I'm somehow doing something wrong. If it doesn't work anymore then I guess I gotta find another package :/

 

The first time i was using this asset i remember it takes some time to see something in cloudkit, you can save your progress, delete cache and files of your game and reinstall and see if you can get progress from cloud.

 

Thanks for the response! At this point of continued testing, I see that the data is being stored in CloudKit, but whenever I try a reinstall I just get "No data saved to the cloud yet." from CloudOnce ; it's very odd.

 

@itsOgden, damn it I don't remember what I did but yes I figured it out and it is working perfectly fine now. So at least I can confirm that it is possible to get to work.

hello thank u for awesome plugin . there are two questions for me . how do i get email of android and ios user? i want to store the user's email on mysql database to do some function else.

i used this tutorial for saving variables on cloud ,i cleared cache and data of my game from app setting and all cloud variables changed to zero if these information are saving on cloud it shouldn't be change even if we clear cache and data.

 

Hi when you update to api 29 and google service 10?
For post app on google at the 30/08/2020 api 29 are requiert.

 

Having the same issue here =/
Anyone able to find a fix for thus?

 

Sadly, I personally haven't. I've been putting it off, but I may soon just switch to a different service of some kind. I don't want to because overall I like cloudonce and google play is working great, but without iOS it's not good enough.

 

I'm a bit confused if this project is still maintained or not?
But I integrated it into my game and at first all seemed fine. The logs are appearing in the Editor etc
I uploaded my Android version to the Alpha Channel of Google Play. But if I download it from there and start the game the app just crashes.
I tried sending the error log but it just won't appear in the Play console...
Did anyone ever experience that and knows why it is happening?

 

I seem to be stuck at integrating it into the Android version of my game, here's the checklist from the Google Play dashboard below. The app is uploaded to 'close testing' and nothing really happens: no automatic sign in and the sign in, leaderboard, achievements buttons don't do anything. All IDs are correct and I ran the setup within the editor, etc.



On iOS there's no problem whatsoever, everything works.

 

Hello, everyone! I need quick help! I tried to use CloudOnce in my unity project, for Android and IOS.
I have 1 problem. In Unity Editor simulate was successful, Load was complited (OnCloudLoadComplete: Cloud load was successful.), but in test app in Google console, i catched strange error. On my phone Initialize was complited (Cloud.OnInitializeComplete works), but "Cloud.OnCloudLoadComplete" didn't start my void "CloudOnceLoadComplete". So because of this dont work leaderboard, atchivements and CloudVariables. If I delete all script with LoadVariables, use "Cloud.Initialize(false, true)", atchivements and CloudVariables works fine.

I'm using the latest CloudOnce v2.7.2, in Google Play Console "Save Game" is checked, min. API 23, scripting Backend IL2CPP.

Where can be the problem? I need your help guys!

For CloudOnce i'm using this code:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class CloudOnceServices : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public static CloudOnceServices instance;
4.     public TMP_Text[] texts; // for test in game

14.         {
15.             PlayerPrefs.SetInt("levelsPast", CloudVariables.LevelsPastAkBure);
16.         }

wow! i just coming to this thread because i need to use again cloud services to store my game currency and this is the latest asset i was using in 2016 :O

 

I'm using the plugin and it's generally working great. I've got leaderboard and achievements working well.
I've also got cloud save working fine on android, but on ios I'm having problems with it.

I get all the events (initialise and load) both completing with a success.
If there's no data (ie first run) I save some data which also looks to return ok.
If I rerun the app, the data has been persisted ok.

But if I delete the app and install it again, it signs in automatically, but when I load the data it's empty.

Given the code works on android I'm guessing it's something in the config of icloud and capabilities and there's not really much documentation on what needs settings up.

In signing and capabilities I've enabled

icloud key-value storage
and
CloudKit (but I'm not sure if that's needed)
I've also got a container (again not sure if that's needed)

Any guidance would be great. I'm pretty new to ios, and I'm sure it's just something basic I'm missing, but I've been trying for the last couple of days.

 

I finally got it working after 5 days. I read something on stackoverflow in general about icloud key-value pairs.
It turns out that if you've had the app installed before adding the icloud code that sometimes you'll need to uninstall the app and then either 1) reboot the phone or 2) sign out of icloud and back in again.
Then reinstall the app.

Now it works perfectly fine. Can't believe how long I spent on finding that.

 

Hi. I am creating recursive leaderboard for a game and I tried cloudonce.
I need increase score(summarize all values) so I am loading scores to find previous value. But next line returns(to callback) empty array however submit score works as intended. Any idea or code example about loading scores?

Code (CSharp):

1. Leaderboards.goldLeaderboarDaily.LoadScores(appendNewScore);

 

I noticed the Getting Started guide says "both a sign-in option and a sign-out option" are required by Google. However, I've reviewed Google's quality checklist and they mention nothing about sign-out options-- nowhere.
Outdated?
http://developers.google.com/games/services/checklist
guide here: https://cloudonce.github.io/gettingStarted.html

Another section that seems outdated is on enabling Saved Games

Currently, you need to access the menu (left-side navigation):
Play Games Services > Setup and management > Configuration
and follow the checklist.

 

I am having an issue using CloudSave. I have started with the iOS version. I have created an iCloud Container, in the game identifier capabilities, I checked "iCloud" and added the container. Then in Signing and Capabilities in Xcode, I added iCloud and checked Key-Value storage, CloudKit, and my Container. Then, I uploaded my application to appstoreconnect and started testing it. Unfortunately, not working. Method

Code (csharp):

1. void CloudOnceLoadComplete(bool success)

is called, but method

Code (csharp):

1. void CloudOnceNewValuesComplete(string[] values)

is not called. Hence, no stored values are uploaded or downloaded to iCloud.

It is all successfully simulated in Unity Simulator.
Is it working for other people? Is there anything I may be missing?

P.S. At some point, I was even thinking about using Achievements as the way to store reached Levels and sub-levels. However, I am not sure if this is a good approach. Besides, I also need to save points.

Thank you!

 

hello @igoapp, did you manage to fix this issue?
