Solved: Issue with Social.localUser.Authenticate

Hi guys I'm new to coding as you'll probably be able to tell.

I've hit a wall while setting up Google Play Games Services plugin. I'm sure I've done all the setup correctly but when adding code to a UI button to initiate login into Google Play I'm getting this error:



I'm pretty sure I've copied everything from the Github documentation but nothing I do fixes it and I can't find anything online to help.

Hoping you have some ideas!

 

try adding this to the top of the file:
using UnityEngine;

 

Sorry I should have taken a screen of the whole thing. That's already on there. Here's the code in full:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using GooglePlayGames;
using GooglePlayGames.BasicApi;
using UnityEngine.SocialPlatforms;

public class SocialLogin : MonoBehaviour {

void start() {

PlayGamesPlatform.Activate();

}

public void onClick() {

Social.localUser.Authenticate((bool success) => {
// handle success or failure
});

}

 

Seems odd - which version of Unity are you using? What happens when you press the Ctrl + (show potential fixes)?

 

Yeah I thought it did. I'm using 5.3.1f and this is what I get:



I've had trouble updating the Google Play SDKs in the SDK managaer, not sure if that's got anything to do with it? I would have thought it was unlikely to be.

 

I clicked the first Generate field option and now the red squiggly has moved to Authenticate with the same "does not contain a definition" error message

 

Managed to undo that but back to square one basically :'(

 

Solved: I stupidly called another script Social and, even though I later renamed it, it was still calling back to that rather than the Social API. Deleted the other script and now all is working ok by the looks. Thanks for your help!
