The HockeyAppUnity-Android plugin implements support for using HockeyApp in your Unity-Android builds. It easily lets you keep track of crashes that have been caused by your scripts or native Java code.
- Unity 4.2 or newer (older versions might work, but we haven't tested them).
- Android 2.3 or newer.
The following steps illustrate how to integrate the HockeyAppUnity-Android plugin:
Copy the Plugins folder into the Assets directory of your Unity project
Unity
Change the value for package inside the AndroidManifest.xml (Assets/Plugins/Android) to the package identifier of your project.
Create an empty game object (GameObject -> Create Empty) and add the HockeyAppAndroid.cs as one of its components.
Select the game object in the Hierachy pane and fill in the App ID provided by HockeyApp (Inspector window). You will also have to enter a package identifier: Make sure that Package ID equals the package name of your HockeyApp app. If you have your own server instance, please type in its url (Server URL). In most cases this field should be left blank.
If you want to get more precise information about exceptions in your Unity scripts you can also check the Exception Logging property.
The Auto Upload option defines if the crash reporting feature should send crash reportings automatically without asking the user. If users should be informed about app updates from inside your app, please make sure that Update Manager is checked, too.
You are now ready to build the project: Select File -> Build Settings... and switch to Android in the platform section. Check Development Build (see Build Settings section).
That's it: Build your app / Android project as usual.
The Development Build option affects the exception handling in C#. You will get a crash report in any case, but the data quality differs. It is recommend to enable it for alpha and beta builds, but to disable this option for production.
Disabled Development Build:
IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.
at (wrapper stelemref) object:stelemref (object,intptr,object)
at TestUI.OnGUI ()
Enabled Development Build:
IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.
at (wrapper stelemref) object:stelemref (object,intptr,object)
at TestUI.OnGUI () (at /Users/name/Documents/Workspace/HockeyAppUnity-Android/ExampleGame/Assets/TestUI/TestUI.cs:67)
The HockeyApp feedback form can be presented as follows:
// Get the current activity object
AndroidJavaClass unityPlayer = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
AndroidJavaObject currentActivity = unityPlayer.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity");
// Get the plugin
AndroidJavaClass plugin = new AndroidJavaClass("net.hockeyapp.unity.HockeyUnityPlugin");
// Show the feedback form
plugin.CallStatic("startFeedbackForm", <YOUR-HOCKEY-APP-ID> , currentActivity);
