    Turbo Switch PRO has proved very useful, so we're looking at using this as well. I have a couple of questions:
    1. Can I generate iOS builds from my Windows machine or do I still have to use a Mac?
    2. Do I still have to go through all the XCode stuff each time or can that be included as part of what this does?
    3. Same question for Archiving and uploading from XCode--is that still separate?
    Thanks!

    Hi

    Thank you for your interest in our product!

    You can build an iOS app under Windows, but the whole Xcode-part must still be done on a Mac.
    A possible solution is the asset iOS Project Builder for Windows

    I hope this helps you further.


    Cheers
    Stefan

    Dudes, I frickin love this thing! TB Switch was awesome and this just works smooth as butter first time building to Android, iOS, Mac and PC.

    Questions:
    1. Is there a way to get TBP to take the Xcode project and compile it, and output the archive (what we submit to the App Store) to a specified directory? Maybe as a Method in Config? (FYI, I'm on a Mac)
    2. Zip Method? Could you give me a sample Method in the TBP Config section for say zipping the contents of a build and putting that in a directory?
    3. Git Method? How about an example Method for getting the latest git at the start of all builds?
    Thanks,

    Don

    Still loving TBP. I've switched up my project to using Addressables. This requires building Addressables for each platform and before the platform is built. Is there any support for building Addressables using TBP?

    Hi

    Have you tried "AddressableRebuilder.cs" from "Assets\Plugins\crosstales\TurboBuilder\Example Integration\Editor"?
    You have to open the file and change line 1 from "false" to "true.

    Does that help?


    So long,

    Hi

    To create a build for a given platform, Unity always has to switch to it.
    Anyway, if you want to have the same default platform after every build, you could edit the file "SwitchBackAfterBuild.cs" under "Assets\Plugins\crosstales\TurboBuilder\Example Integration\Scripts\Editor".
    Just remove the first and second last line in the file and change the variable "target" (line 11) to your desired default target.

    I hope this helps you further.


    Cheers
    Stefan

    Hello Stefan, we use TurboBuilder quite a lot and recently start using TurboSwitch as well.

    I think there is one thing could be upgraded for building multi- configurations.
    For example:
    For each platform, we need to build couple configurations, and its differentiate from platform to platform.
    Each configuration may have some different setting overrides

    Windows client
    Windows local server
    Windows headless server
    Linux headless server
    Playstation Client
    Playtation Server
    Andorid companion app
    iOs companionion app

    if turbo build can create an inteface for hooking up a scriptable obect to define override setting for each platform would be super useful

    Hi

    Thank you for using our tools!

    We recommend that you take a look at the "Example Integration" - you could create you own menu or window that allows you to build all your versions.
    If you need help, let us know.

    However, your input is very valuable and we plan to do something like you proposed, but it's not a quick&easy task and has to be planned and implemented accordingly (which will need time). So we can't give a promise nor ETA right now.

    I hope this helps you further.


    Cheers
    Stefan

    Great to know its in active development ;)

    yes we have been doing our own interface on top, but its not as ideal as you guys having it out of box.
    Would love to see that coming. That said, one extra note.

    CLI access to specify witch overriding scriptable asset to be involved would also really help automation.

    Question:
    is the TurboSwitch caches being used for build?
    is the caching includes some of the library folder like, package cache folder?
    how about custom packages are they cached as well?

    It depends on the Unity-version. If you are using 2020 or newer, TurboSwitch no longer caches any data and uses Unity to do the job. Otherwise, you can configure which folders are cached.

    Hello Stefan,

    I'm using TurboBuilder when I cancel a build sometimes, it says Turbo Builder shows a message "Turbo Builder PRO is busy, please wait..." perpetually until I restart the editor.

    Is this a known issue?

    Thanks

    Edit: It's very hard to reproduce. Sorry I may not be of more help.

    Hi Stefan,

    Thanks! Will just get the update when you guys roll it out on the Unity Asset Store because the problem
    itself is sporadic. I'm having another strange issue though with Turbo Builder pro, when I build with the Build All
    button, the prefabs don't seem to build correctly (I guess wrong UUID's? not sure). Also the build all stopped working with some error saying "Directory not found" when building player exception.

    Never happened before strangely enough.

    Thanks!

    Hmm, this is strange :(

    First a question regarding the first issue: do you use TB in combination with our Turbo Switch?
    TB itself certainly doesn't interfere with the prefabs - it uses the standard build process from Unity to create builds, so something else must be the reason.

    About the problem with the directory: have you enabled "Add Name To Path", "Add Version To Path" or "Add Date To Path"? If that's the case, what are your values (name, version, date format)? I assume it may contains invalid characters for the path or your project path exceeds more than 255 characters. Apart from that, I can't imagine the reason for the issue.

    Hi Stefan,

    Yeap I use TB and TS in combination I got the full collection together haha. I can't tell if the prefab issue still persists because now it doesn't build the win64 build at all but builds the iOS and Android builds which I haven't tested so far(Btw, it only happens with Fusion Networked Prefabs).

    Would like to confirm that I've not enabled "Add Name To Path", "Add Version To Path" or "Add Date To Path"

    I will investigate further and see if I can find a way to build a project to reproduce the issue.

    Till that time I guess I'll avoid using the Build All feature.

    Thanks

    Are you using a newer version of Unity than 2019.4?
    If that's the case, I recommend removing Turbo Switch since you won't gain any switch speed.
    Does that help?

    Maybe, something is screwed up in the "Library"-folder of your project. I would suggest closing Unity, deleting the folder and let Unity re-import the whole thing.

    Hmm, I thought the same, I've already deleted Library and Temp folders a bunch of times. Tried it again but still no dice
    :(:confused:

    For now since I don't have anymore leads and got some deadlines coming up, I'll just use the regular build option in Unity, hopefully it resolves itself on it's own sometime or maybe you find the bug.

    Thanks !
