Notes de l'éditeur
- Multi-platform client + multi-platform backend
- Cloud backend for your app/game - in minutes! Store data in Azure SQL. Custom REST API with 24/7 monitoring and management Handle user identities using Twitter / FaceBook / Live / Google+ Push notifications to individual users & dynamic audience segments
- First signup! (CC will be required for ID purposes – but default budget is set 0.00) Azure Mobile Services has a free tier that includes up to 500 devices and 500k API calls, and additionally, you can also use the free tier for up to 10 services.
- Azure Mobile Services - Pricing Calculator FREE tier: Up to 500 devices, 500 thousand API calls (run up to 10 mobile services)
- In Azure portal - Create a new Mobile Service
- Enter unique URL for Mobile Service. Select database, region options. Select JavaScript as backend. (Best support atm for Unity / Azure plugins)
- Set database user/pass
- ~5 minutes later… Mobile Service should be Ready to use. (Click to select)
- Click “Connect existing … app” to see connection strings.
- Mobile Service Connection Strings to copy & paste into you app/game script.
- Couple of choices for Azure Mobile Services in Unity: - Prime 31 - BitRave
- MS platforms can use the Newtownsoft.JSON from within the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio. Non-MS platforms require $20 JSON.NET plugin to serialize the JSON data. https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/11347 JSON .NET for Unity retains the original namespaces and structure of the Newtonsoft Json.Net library with Unity supported features. This means that it will function as a drop-in replacement for the existing Json.Net dll for users who wish to target iOS and Web Player but need to use first class serialization.
- Runs across: W8 Store WP8 NB: Runs, but doesn’t connect in the Unity Editor (yet)
- Demo Unity Prime[31] Visual Studio 2013 (update 3)
- Goto: prime31.com/plugins Windows 8 store > MS Azure Plugin When you click on the “Download Now” button, it will prompt you for your name/email. Submit the form to get the download link to the Unity plugin in your email.
- Important! Be sure to install the Azure SDK. (Otherwise you will not be able to compile in Visual Studio)
- In Mobile Services quickstart under “Create a new … app” Create a table > “Create TodoItem Table”
- In Unity - Create New Project
- NB: Download the plugin from email link Open the package to install…
- The package will import into the Unity project.
- Open “MetroAzure” Scene
- Open “MetroAzureDemoUI” Script
- Copy & paste Azure Mobile Services Connection Strings (from Azure Mobile Service portal)
- NB: Will run, but won’t connect in UnityEditor - We have to ‘build’ the project!
- File > Build Settings
- Build Settings ‘Add Current’ Scene ‘Switch Platform’ to ‘Windows Store’ (C#, 8.1)
- Build Settings > ‘Player Settings’… Under “Metro Unprocessed Plugins” set: Size: 1 Element 0: P31MetroAzure.dll
- Build => Visual Studio project
- Edit “Package.appxmanifest” Capabilities: + “Internet (Client)”
- Configuration Manager
- Configuration Manager Choose “x86”
- Build & Run
- Connect Azure Service first. Then try adding some items…
- Check Azure Mobile Services DATA > TodoItem table to see the demo Todo Items added…
- NB: You must ‘connect’ first before using other methods.
- Install Mobile Services SDK - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=257545&clcid=0x409 In ‘Build Settings’ > ‘Player Settings’: add “P31MetroAzure.dll” to list of "Unprocessed Plugins”. This will ensure Unity's DLL processor doesn't mess with the DLL and cause build errors.

- It’s a great time for developers new to the platform to get a Dev Center account and start submitting apps.
