Hi @Uni-Bit-Studio Team,

I want to buy your product because is the best of this kind on asseststore, I want to use your product fo videos and images share, did SAT support GIFs and watermarks for images gifs and videos? Can you send me a demo build please?

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good job!

 

Hello, InfinityCoder88

I sent you test build with list of test users in private message.

Unfortunately, there is currently no support for gif files and watermarks in our project. But I do not think that it will be difficult to add this into the existing functionality

Best reagrds,
Uni-Bit Studio Team

 

Can you tell me what is on your roadmap to add to this product?

 

Hello, RadioactiveBullfrog

This is roadmap:

Hi @Uni-Bit-Studio Team,

i have a issue regarding login i want to change the login and registration module by phone number verification with otp so how we will achieve this please guide me

 

Hi

Firebase has already provided a tutorial on implementing authorization through a mobile phone number
You can check it here
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/unity/phone-auth

Best regards, Uni-Bit Studio Team

 

Hi.

It has a magnificent appearance. Congratulations.

My question is this:
In case of acquiring it, my intention is that the database be MS SQL SERVER. And my question is if the asset has the complete source code to be able to do this migration (with my resources, of course)

Thank you.

 

Hi

Yes, all source code is present
All firebase requests are in FirebaseController.cs
It’s possible to go over by rewriting all the queries for MS SQL SERVER, but it’s a lot of work

Best regards, Uni-Bit Studio Team

 

Looks great.

How do you handle inappropriate context? Can users mark posts as inappropriate? Can the admin delete it.

Can some posts be marked as under review?

Is there planned integration with something like Cloud Vision API
https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/filtering-inappropriate-content-with-the-cloud-vision-api

Thanks,
Ash

 

Hi.

I bought the asset and everything works perfectly. I hope you continue to evolve it and not become another asset that, unfortunately, is abandoned.

Great job. Congratulations.

 

Hi

This task was not planned, but we will definitely add it to roadmap
thanks for the idea

Best regards, Uni-Bit Studio Team

 

Hi dear Barritico,

Thanks for the kind words!

Updates will be issued according to our plan, no one will quit work

We will also be grateful for the positive feedback on the page in AssetStore.

Best regards,
Uni-Bit Studio Team

 

Thanks. Once this feature is added. I would be happy to purchase it. Keep up the great work.

 

Hi I purchased you asset today. I'm about 75% done going through your documentation for installation. I'm however stuck because I've unzipped the firebase windows folder however there is no firebase.json file in that folder. There are other files but not the firebase within the unzipped folder.

 

Hi Somosky,

Do not worry. firebase.json is no longer needed to install cloud methods. Just skip the step removing firebase.json

Best regards,
Uni-Bit Studio Team

Hi InfinityCoder88,

Hi @Uni-Bit-Studio,

I got the problem with rendering videos, on Mobiles and PCs, can you help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance!

 

Hello @InfinityCoder88

Can you try to upload this video again and show us the download logs of this video from the firebase cloud functions console?

There may be two problems:

1. The video file is too large and the server has reached the limit for video processing. The maximum processing time is 5 minutes. Have you changed the MaxUploadVideoSizeMB parameter? Video should not exceed 100 mb. If the server does not have time to process, you can set the value below. What is the size of your video file?

2. You could reach the limit of calls of cloud functions in firebase per month. You need to switch to a paid tariff.

To understand what the problem is, logs are needed.

Best regards,
Uni-Bit Studio Team

 

Hi @Uni-Bit-Studio ,

Logs from functions:

*I didn't change the MaxUploadVideoSizeMB .

 

Hello @InfinityCoder88

Can you upload the video again and show only the method logs of UploadAndCompressVideo?

 

Hi @Uni-Bit-Studio , here you go:

 

Hi @InfinityCoder88
Check PM please

 

Dear developers,

We have released a new update (Version 1.4) related update of firebase cloud function.
If anyone has problems with the video in the project, please update the latest version of the asset and upload new cloud methods with a new tutorial

Best regards,
Uni-Bit Studio Team

Dear developers,

Important information!

A bug was noticed in the Firebase SDK version 6.6.0

The bug is related to the unstable operation of the application in Unity Editor.
New posts in the feed are not added, the list of messages does not change. Seen only in the editor, everything works well in builds
We do not recommend using version 6.6.0 to work with our asset.

Stay tuned for our updates.

Best regards,
Uni-Bit Studio Team

​

 

How do we find the firebase SDK you recommend? Which version should it be?

It works with firebase_unity_sdk_6.6.0 but a few differences in printout compared to the instructions.

 

Hello

The latest version we can recommend is 6.0.0
you can download it here

Hi @Uni-Bit-Studio Team,

Your product looks amazing! Since I only need the input field with emoji support on iOS part, can I test the demo on my phone？（Or video shows how it work on iOS）Also few questions:
1. Does the input field support TextMeshPro?
2. If it supports TextMeshPro, does it parse emoji using Char Sequence? e.g. emoji with different skin color or flags, original texmeshpro just parse these as two split emoji, and edit function went wrong after input these emojis.
3. Original unity input field has many annoying bugs on mobile, does yours feel more "native" to use on mobile platform?

Thanks in advance！

 

Hello

Unfortunately at the moment we do not have a build under iOS. But it is tested on ios and works well. We can send you a build for android.
1. Yes, our input uses a TextMeshPro component
2. Our asset uses the original solution of emoji from text mesh pro
3. Yes, it more feel as "native". We have implemented several modifications in unity input field.

Best regards,
Uni-Bit Studio Team

 

Thank you for your reply!

Hello

What version of Firebase SDK are you using?
Try reimport json

1. Remove google-services.json, located at Assets/google-services.json
2. Remove google-services-desktop.json, located at Assets/StreamingAssets/google-services-desktop.json
3. Download new google-services.json.
4. Make sure that it’s called google-services.json, and not google-services(1).json for example
5. Import it to the Assets folder
