Quick disclaimer:
I usually don't use void with async methods but Unity has Action and UI methods that return void so Task would give error. I opted without Task.Run or anything since this is more focused on getting it working and its quicker this way.. If you're a c# veteran, don't cringe too hard :)

Nice tutorial bro !! Thanks so much !!!

[@navarone77]

you're welcome :) thanks for watching!

[@hansfritz6026]

nevermind i found the issue the code is not the problem during that setup phase in the unit dashboard i only selected ios/android but not PC. but if you dont select PC then testing on PC in the editor doesnt work. please continue this series its really helpful :-)

[@navarone77]

Interesting find Good to know this for future, glad you got it all sorted! Happy Coding :)

[@RELIM_RO]

Thank you brother, was about to post something about it. then I read your comment and face palmed myself so hard XD.

[@lukeydzbecx8319]

Bro thank u for this

[@navarone77]

you're welcome!

[@SelaMalka]

Thank you very much! great tutorial! One question though - can you think of a way to keep the player logged in even after he quit the application?

[@navarone77]

Do you mean on the mobile device ?

[@12Kefu]

hey the code is great but you have to login every time you launch the app can you help me with the issue

[@navarone77]

You can make a system easily, after you login , you can use the method for detecting already cached player, using the method below docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/authentication/manual/cached-players

[@goncalobarros4124]

this auth login is done with what on user end?what do they send to unity? I am asking because I am wondering how this will work if user changes smartphone and needs to have their account of the app/game on the new phone?

[@navarone77]

unity simply uses their own auth system to communicate with the various APIs such as Google, Apple etc. All Information on privacy and such, could be found here docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/authentication/manual/privacy-and-consent Everything else is handled by each individual company

[@hansfritz6026]

unfortunatly im getting "error_description=The+request+is+missing+a+required+parameter+or+is+using+an+unsupported+parameter."

[@navarone77]

Hi sorry for late reply, are you still having this issue? I wouldn't mind taking a look into it again, you'd have to provide me more detail on what going on or where is exactly that error appears. thanks!

[@hansfritz6026]

i rewatched everything still dont see what i missed is there maybe something set in LoginBtn for events that you didnt show ?

[@navarone77]

Hey could you provide more details on how and when you get error message ? I'm trying to look into it

[@indievisualgames345]

Hi nice tutorial, Is there any way to have multi login methods for Google Apple and custom login, also in that case how the auto login will check in terms of scripting, eg a user has apple login, if google play login fails in auth then how it will come to apple login and check via scripting. on the login screen we have 3 ways to login that is google apple & custom email login

[@navarone77]

Do you mean separately ? Google play by the way is a separate auth , this one is the Unity Player Login should cover all those mentioned already in vid. The Player Login method only waits for the token once logged in. Would you mind explaining the use case of what you're doing this for?

[@NASA-Educational]

so only the unity team can see if someone login to your app? like user's name,email and id?

[@navarone77]

I'm not entirely sure how they handle the data in UGS, look into their PrivacyPolicy/TOS. Likely they only have access to the same public info you do, nothing private.

[@xpi8857]

I tried and couldn't get the avatar. Is there any way to get the avatar?

[@navarone77]

Very interesting question, this might be an upcoming feature unity is implementing, I will look into a way to get this done beforehand though. thanks!

[@fastsolution]

did they removed the "unity player accounts" i cant see it in the services ?

@@navarone77 yes i did but player accounts is not showing in services it shows online in the providers.. could it be the unity version issue ? i am using 2022.1.24f1

Wow that's cool if u need a backup system or online game which I can't get lol

[@navarone77]

Not just for backups, its also useful for creating Player Gaming accounts, and other features like that. A Connection to the internet is needed though for any authentication.

[@frostypixelsgames9350]

how do you log out ? of the account, it alays logs tothe same account on google

[@navarone77]

good question, I will look into this again tomorrow for sure and will get back at you with an answer. Did you try the AuthenticationService class Logout method already? iirc that should delete any previous tokens, will verify how it is on browser thought to be sure.

it really difficult to follow your typing, some class are missing some class are don't know what namespace you used, you should add all script to description, so, people can easily copy them

[@navarone77]

Sorry you had troubles, not sure classes were missing. Okay I will add all the scripts to description

how to logout after login?

[@navarone77]

AuthenticationService.Instance.SignOut will sign out, you can pass a bool to clear credentials.

The account is already a registered account by using the other providers, you can also sign up with email and password. It takes care of registration for you

[@hansfritz6026]

would you mind including this in your next video ? ugs/manual/authentication/manual/best-practices this includes first time user experience which i am struggling right now. i want a anonymous login in the background and a check for cached user and then later offer the player a UI popup with the offer of linking with an actual google or apple account

[@navarone77]

Prefect timing! I am actually working on a series on this Unity system, that also includes doing Player Profiles, chat features and also game avatars ofc :) I'll be sure to drop the video with your suggestions first, thanks for reminder! if you haven't already, don't forget to subscribe and stay tuned

[@hardworkerstudio]

I feel thank you for making this VDO a bit But!!! why do you add functions to Buttons by scripts? this is you are making a Tutorial VDO, and your typing is also very difficult to follow something should add first, But you add last, it so wiered and it not makesense at all!

[@navarone77]

Thank you for the feedback, I'll certainly make note of your suggestion about the order of elements in the video. Is there a specific part this occurs? I'll review and adjust accordingly for future content. Regarding the buttons,assigning them in code for better clarity. It's definitely helpful to have all references visible in the code editor for easier management and understanding what is linked to what without going through inspector or unity Editor every time. Thanks again for your insights!

[@jacobjacob5735]

Why did you not upload the code? At least write it in the description or as a comment. Without comment and then also sped up. Not really as helpfull as I had hoped...

[@navarone77]

It's pretty straight forward, but I can see how it can be useful to have source code. I will do so in the next videos. Appreciate the Feedback

[@AsTrO-zq1kz]

​@@navarone77bro pls reply. So,If we use this login system,this can save the in-game data for each account for example,the level of player or something they have collected?And once they logout and then login again ,may the data be saved for that account.?
