Simulate app suspend and resume in Unity play mode

Hello everyone,

Do you know if it is possible to simulate an UWP app suspend and resume event in Unity ? This would help me a lot because I wouldn't need to build a new release each time I have a bug related to this pause/resume mechanism.

Thanks.
Joran.

 

Hi,
you can simulate suspend and resume event with VS debugger.
You must open the Debug Location toolbar

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the answer, though I'm not sure if it is exactly what I was looking for. With your solution I probably need to make a UWP build and run in it either in the headset or in a emulator.

But in my case, I would like to remain in the Unity play mode and generate those events. It might simply just not be possible.

Joran.

 

Hi,
yes with my solution you must make a UWP build.
As mentioned by Tautvydas-Zilys when you are in Unity play mode you don't have a uwp app but a desktop application and suspend/resume concepts don't exist on Windows desktop applications.
