OneSignal Unity SDK

⚠️ Migration Advisory for current OneSignal customers

Our new user-centric APIs and v5.x.x SDKs offer an improved user and data management experience. However, they may not be at 1:1 feature parity with our previous versions yet.

If you are migrating an existing app, we suggest using iOS and Android’s Phased Rollout capabilities to ensure that there are no unexpected issues or edge cases. Here is the documentation for each:

iOS Phased Rollout

Google Play Staged Rollouts

  6. App Groups should now be provisioned for you going forward for your iOS bundle id, even on clean builds.

  7. Make sure all Targets have Enable Bitcode set to No in Build Settings.

Android

  1. From the Unity Editor, navigate to Edit > Project Settings > Player and click the Android settings tab.
  2. Expand Publishing Settings and enable:
    • Custom Main Gradle Template
    • Custom Gradle Properties Template
  3. Navigate to Assets > External Dependency Manager > Android Resolver > Force Resolve and resolve your Android dependencies.

Most of the Android setup was already handled during installation!

The only thing remaining is to setup your own notification icons. You can do this be replacing the example icons located at Assets/Plugins/Android/OneSignalConfig.androidlib/src/main/res with your own. There is a complete guide for this in the plugin's README. See our Customize Notification Icons page for additional details.

Usage

You can find a complete implementation in our included example MonoBehaviour. Additionally we have included a sample scene which you can run to test out the SDK.

Initialization

Prefab

Located in the com.onesignal.unity.core package we've include a simple prefab which initializes OneSignal. You can easily find it using the Asset search bar to find OneSignalController.prefab and making sure to select All or In Packages for your search option. Drag the prefab into your very first scene, fill in the App Id, and you are immediately ready to go!

Code

To get started add the following code in an appropriate place such as the Start method of a MonoBehaviour early in your application's lifecycle.

// Replace 'YOUR_ONESIGNAL_APP_ID' with your OneSignal App ID from app.onesignal.com
OneSignal.Initialize("YOUR_ONESIGNAL_APP_ID");

You are now ready to start sending and receiving notifications and in-app messages. For additional information please see our complete OneSignal Unity SDK docs.
