trying to use Windows.Services.Store namespace?

So, I'm trying to get a product key, or a receipt, from the Microsoft store, and in the documentation I've been looking at, I need to use this Windows.Services.Store namespace but It doesn't read the namespace, inside Unity anyway. Do I need to download anything to use their store services? Or do I need to implement this somewhere outside Unity in a VS solution?

The way I want to set it up, I have a game pass that's ready in the Microsoft store, holding on publishing until I can figure this out, and I want to pull the details of the IAP, receipt or product key, so I can essentially unlock the full game. But documentation is pretty scarce when it comes to Unity + Microsoft so I'm lost. Honestly, I don't quite know if I'm supposed to post this thread on this forum type. But any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Edit: My platform target is UWP, right now for xbox and PC, forgot to add that.

 

Awesome, thank you! I haven't used that type of code before, could you show me some documentation on it please? Btw, does this work with IL2CPP as a scripting backend?

 

Thanks for the info, but I'm having trouble implementing the last section of code. I could be missing something:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. private void Start()
3.     {
4.         #if ENABLE_WINMD_SUPPORT
5.             Debug.Log("Windows is functional!");
6.         #endif
7.     }
8.  

Inside the #define directive, I think it's called, it's not letting me use that debug.log, it's commented out. My configuration seems to be setup properly, unless I'm just not using the code the right way. my API compat is at .NET 4.x, tried with .NET 2.0 as well, backend IL2CPP, and runtime .NET 3.5 equivalent. Could it be that I'm missing an extension on visual studios side of things?

 

I took a couple, one of the code I'm just trying to test and the other of the setting configs. I'm not sure what exactly to show as well, I'm still kinda new to plugins and what-not

 

Oh wow, haha thank you. That's weird, I haven't actually used the csharp.player before. Thank you for working with me on this, looks like I can get all the namespaces I've been trying to access. Just for peace of mind, would this be the way to implement the namespaces, without the directive I get an error:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. #if ENABLE_WINMD_SUPPORT
3. using Windows.Services.Store;
4. #endif
5.  

 

Awesome, thank you, this helped out a lot

 

Hello,

I'm struggling to get this working, I've Tried store plugins such as Windows Store Native, but this seems like a workable solutions. I an new to IAP, is it just as simple as putting the tags

#if ENABLE_WINMD_SUPPORT

and #endif

then I can use

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/monetize/enable-in-app-purchases-of-apps-and-add-ons

inside these define tags? I don't need to add anything else to unity?

 

So, I'm still working on this myself, a lot of it is just trouble shooting things to see what works and what doesn't. Here's a piece of code I'm using to try and figure it out, I'll break down what works:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using System;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.UI;
6. #if ENABLE_WINMD_SUPPORT
7. using Windows.Services.Store;
8. #endif
9. public class getStoreProducts : MonoBehaviour
10. {
11.     public Text passCheck;
12.     public Text addonLicense;
13.     private void Start()
14.     {
15. #if ENABLE_WINMD_SUPPORT
16.         GetLicenseInfo();
17.         //StartCoroutine(getInfo());
18.         return;
19. #endif
20.         passCheck.text = "windows isn't available";
21.     }
22.     private void getInfo()
23.     {
24.         if (licenseDets == null)
25.         {
26.             passCheck.text = "no info was loaded";
27.         }
28.         else
29.         {
30.             string n = "License Info";
31.             foreach(string b in licenseDets)
32.             {
33.                 n = n + " : " + b;
34.             }
35.             addonLicense.text = n;
36.         }
37.     }
38.     private List<string> licenseDets;
39. #if ENABLE_WINMD_SUPPORT
40.     private StoreContext context = null;
41.     public async void GetLicenseInfo()
42.     {
43.         licenseDets = new List<string>();
44.         passCheck.text = "this function is running";
45.         if (context == null)
46.         {
47.             context = StoreContext.GetDefault();
48.         }
49.         passCheck.text = "step 1 done";
50.         StoreAppLicense appLicense = await context.GetAppLicenseAsync();
51.         licenseDets.Add(appLicense.ToString());
52.         licenseDets.Add(appLicense.AddOnLicenses.ToString());
53.         passCheck.text = "step 2 done";
54.         if (appLicense == null)
55.         {
56.             passCheck.text = "An error occurred while retrieving the license.";
57.             return;
58.         }
59.         getInfo();
60.     }
61. #endif
62. }
63.  

Now, this isn't necessarily complete or the proper way to do it, but I'm just testing what I pull through the store context for now. But, anyway, If you take a look at this piece of code, you'll see how the windows define tags are used. If you don't know already, windows support doesn't work inside the editor, so to view all your windows defined code, you'll have to build a solution and run it for windows to be accessible. I'm new to IAP as well so I'm not really well-informed, I just know what seems to be working.

And, to your other question, as long as your publishing to UWP, or xbox I'd assume as well, you shouldn't have to add anything else to use windows coding.

 

This may help https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityIAPWindowsConfiguration.html We do have a limitation at the time of this post that subscriptions with Unity IAP on UWP are currently not supported.

 

Thanks, I always have trouble finding that page, but I have trouble using the istorelistener in that example. It requires me to use certain functions but I don't know how to implement the process purchasing function:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEngine.Purchasing;
4. public class storeProducts_withIStore : MonoBehaviour, IStoreListener
5. {
6.  
7.     void IStoreListener.OnInitialized(IStoreController controller, IExtensionProvider extensions)
8.     {
9.     }
10.     void IStoreListener.OnInitializeFailed(InitializationFailureReason error)
11.     {
12.     }
13.     void IStoreListener.OnPurchaseFailed(Product i, PurchaseFailureReason p)
14.     {
15.     }
16.     void IStoreListener.ProcessPurchase(PurchaseEventArgs e)
17.     {
18.         // this is the function call I'm having trouble with.
19.     }
20. }
21.  

Unless it's not supposed to be declared as a function, in which case I don't know what I should do with it. I've tried using it the way in the scripting api example but it still gives me an error. Could you give me an example on how I should use process purchasing please?

 

Sure! You can use this Sample IAP project here. The ProcessPurchase code is in IAPManager.cs. It's using IAP 1.18 and you probably want to upgrade to 1.23.1 https://forum.unity.com/threads/sample-iap-project.529555/ You'll first want to link to a new ProjectID in the Services window.

 

Awesome, that helps out a lot, thank you!

 

Sorry, I just read the edited reply, does this code not work with uwp?

 

Only subscription products are not supported. Consumables and non-consumables would be expected to work. What product(s) are you offering?

 

Alright cool, I was gonna do a game pass, like if you want the full game you can buy the pass to buy the game, which would be non consumable so that'll work
