Unity and Facebook API

Hi folks,

in 26 Mar 2013, was announced a excelent feature to Facebook:
http://blogs.unity3d.com/2013/03/26/unity-and-facebook-are-now-in-a-relationship-and-its-awesome/

The text says that the Facebook Feature would be released in version 4.1.2, but we are in 4.1.3 and the feature has not yet been released.

There are a new release date?

Thanks

 

Yeah I though would take a month or so for UT to release that. Oh boy I was so wrong.

 

Sounds as good news to me. Good luck iand.

 

This is great.
Thanks so very much for your attention iand

 

Firstly, thanks for the update

Secondly, is this SDK going to be free or charged

 

Woo

Hope this arrives soon

 

So what's the word on the availability of the API? Unite is just around the corner

 

Hi iand, I sent a private message to you. Please check your inbox.
Thanks.

 

I know this is an old thread. But just wondering if there's any update. I have a project due in weeks and need this for the client. Just wondering if I need a 3rd party tool or not. Ideally the boys and girls at unity could update that post on the web with an actual date, or just say 'coming soon' as 4.1.2 is long past and still no word.

 

Same here.
I need that feature to release my game in the Airspace (App store of Leap Motion), because it uses Facebook User Requests, that currently works only in the platforms: Web, iOS and Android.

 

@unity.iand, is it planned to work with standalone Mac/Win/Linux builds? Looking forward to this (if it works with standalone builds)!

 

Does that mean that the new Unity Facebook SDK will support only the WebPlayer? Meaning that we would still need to get a 3rd party plugin to support other platforms...?

 

Is this still true? Would be nice to know, 'cause we're currently thinking about a FB solution for our current project.

 

Hi, same thing here , we're having some essues with the integration of Facebook features into our WebPlayer games , and we would know if the facebook sdk is still going to be available soon "before unite 2013" as mentioned before, thanks .

 

Also keen to hear the status of this, among all the other questions asked above.

 

Any news? I'm expecting something any day (please be today) now

 

The beta package is now available on the asset store.

Uauuuu! That's an amazing news.
Thanks to all you Unity Technologies guys.

 

It's awsome, i downloaded the SDK yesterday i started to tweak and try to understand how it works, to be honest i'm facing some issues with it i would like them to add a documentation on how to add and call the FB utilities . A nice tutorial would be of great use too , thanx

 

Agreed, I've been stumped since I started tweaking. Trying to create an android application. I have set all the required information pertaining to how the app integrates with Facebook. It doesn't work, what I'm getting hung up on is the class name., for some reason when I import the SDK package and enter by app ID the application Unity side states that my classname is "com.facebook.unity.FBUnityPlayerActivity" which does seem right at all. The tutorial given pertains to web player, which is something I could really care less about. I would like to integrate with Android, IOS and Windows 8 Modern UI. Is anyone seeing a similar issue, or perhaps gotten past this and have some advice?

Thanks,
Bryan

 

Hi there,

I tried to make the InteractiveConsole work on Android and I am currently stuck at the FB.init() phase. The error I have is : com.facebook.http.protocol.ApiException: remote_app_id does not match stored id .

Does anyone here had the same issue?

 

I'm actually facing a more elementary problem , i'm trying to accomplish a basic web integration just to get started, but even that is not working !! when i try to implement basic requests using "FB.AppRequest", the native Unity Facebook Request Dialog is displayed and allows me to send invitations .. however none of my freinds gets that invitation ?? i don't know what i'm doing wrong ?! can somebody help me with that please ?

 

@magmaloic: I guess you did double check the FB app id in FB settings matches the id of your app?

we're also having issues - tried to export the SDK example as native android app, FB.Init won't get past login though, claiming the app is in sandbox mode, wich it is definitely NOT

Did anyone make the example work on Android?

 

I think making the exemple work on android is something near impossible, i tried to do it too but i'm stuck at the FB.init() phase just like magmaloic. some Help would be great if anyone have any idea, or maybe a solution

 

Just tried SDK version 3.1.1, same issue and can't get past init call. Although the change log states the following:

Several issues on Android, particularly one that prevented apps from requesting permissions beyond basic authorization

 

Hi all, i'm facing a problem with posting my game score, i'm using "FB.API("/me/scores", Facebook.HttpMethod.POST, delegate (string r) { ; }, query);" , but it doesn't work, i don't now what i'm doing wrng !! can somebody help me please ?

 

@unity.iand

Is there any possibility to that Facebook SDK extends to be used on Desktop Platform (Windows/Mac/Linux)?

 

Thanks so much for replying me about that, unity.iand!
Would be an amazing update if the SDK also works to Desktop platform.

And thanks for tell me about the Carrot. I saw it and really it can't help me on my project.

I "jerry-rigged" many systems in order to my desktop project use that systems:
- Facebook Login
- Get Facebook User Details (name, picture, friends, etc...)
- Facebook Feed Post
- Facebook Picture Post
- Get Facebook App Requests (using database infos)

To all of them, I use Unity together PHP/MySql.

But the problem is:
- To Facebook Login, the Unity needs call the External Brownser, in order to the user execute the login, while Unity stays checking a PHP code to know if the user already have logged. That PHP code will return the user's Offline Token to Unity.

And the another one, that is impossible:
- My app needs Send App Requests, and to do it, is necessary open Facebook "Request Dialog". But, in desktop is impossible, because the dialog do not send any return to Unity if I call the "Request Dialog" via "URL Redirect"

If you know a third-party product that provide me "Facebook Login" and "Facebook Request Dialog", please let me know
And, thanks again for your attention, unity.iand!
