Windows 8 and Windows App Store not supported in this build (Unity Pro)

So I just downloaded Unity 4.2.0f4 and I created a new project. When I go to build settings to switch to Windows Phone 8 or Windows Store Apps I get the following:

and

What's the deal???

 

Thanks for the reply,

I'm on a Mac Pro, and I Checked for License Updates, still no change.

 

Thanks for the info,

Ok, So I can't even crate the game on a Mac and then just build it on a PC???

Not very consistent with the whole Unity Create Once, build to all philosophy.

 

same holds true when creating Mac games from the PC.. you have to compile using a Mac in order to port.

just put up a VM of windows with visual studio running in it and compile it there. (wish we could do that on the PC, but Mac has much stricter limitations).

 

No, you can build Mac games from Windows. You can't build iOS games from Windows though.

Why couldn't you?

Ok,

So I just did the unthinkable, I bought Windows 8. I plan on using BootCamp with it. So correct me if I'm wrong, but what I plan on doing is once my game is finished on iOS and Android, I will copy it over to the PC side (via BootCamp) and make any adjustments there and build it.

Would that work??

Thanks,

 

Isn't that against the Apple Developer EULA?

 

If I get Parallels or VMware Fusion and run Windows in a VM, do I still need to have a separate copy of Unity installed on the VM or will Unity on the Mac see the VM and visual studio running and compile?

Or do I have to install a copy of Unity on the VM, then copy the entire project over the the VM side, so I'll have to have 2 copies of my project?

Thanks,

 

Definitely not; you don't require any permission from Apple to develop for the Mac in any way you want.

A VM is basically a separate machine. The idea is that Unity needs to be running in a Windows 8 environment in order to do Windows Store publishing.

Thanks Eric5h5,

That's what I thought, so I'm just going to use bootcamp.
