For making a build, you invoke a specific method in one of your scripts that starts the build via Unity’s editor APIs. Basically there are a set of command line options for running Unity.exe documented here.

So how do Unity builds from the command line work exactly? A little weird. Some of the features of IL2CPP and PlayerSettings.shortBundleVersion are not available prior to 4.6.3. NOTE: we are currently using Unity 4.6.3, so code in the BuildScript class will change slightly for different versions of Unity. If you are looking for an intro on FAKE, check out my earlier blog post on it. We also chose to use FAKE, as we get all the benefits of checking our build scripts into source control, etc. So setting up Unity builds ourselves, seemed like a great option. We already have TeamCity setup, with a build agents running on a PC and a Mac for other apps.

Builds can a really long time… Like an hour and a half… Ugh.

It could be tough to figure out what went wrong with a build - you can’t exactly RDP into the build agent and open Unity.

Our SCM we use for Unity, PlasticSCM, is not supported.

Not much control over Unity player settings.

Only iOS and Android are currently supported (we need Windows, too).

Unity has released Unity Cloud Build, which is a nice solution, but it doesn’t fulfill our needs: Unity builds can be painfully slow at times, so not automating them is a huge productivity killer. Codemagic will verify that it has access to the repository using the updated details before saving the settings.So among the different types of games and apps we build at Hitcents, one particularly troublesome type to deal with is basically any game built with Unity. Once you have changed the relevant settings, click Update access settings. You can also generate a new private key in the settings section. This will allow you to modify the repository URL, change username or password or update the SSH key. If the repository is added from a URL, click Change settings under Repository access settings. Codemagic will attempt to automatically update the URL based on the repository ID.

If the repository is added via GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab integration, click the Update repository URL button. You may need to update repository access settings if the repository has been renamed or relocated, or when you need to update the username and password or the private key used to access it. Note that if the app is part of a team, only team owners can update repository access settings or delete the app.

Navigate to App settings > Repository settings to update repository access settings, change the app name or icon in Codemagic, archive or delete the app.
