HiGame - Methodology about Managing Mobile Service Dependencies in one codebase for Unity

This demo unity project is developed to present methodology about Managing Mobile Service Dependencies in one codebase.

Introduction

I want to present one basic methodology which lets us manage multiple mobile service dependencies in one code base with minimum effort. After Huawei Mobile Services born into the ecosystem, game developers have to maintain one more game version, if they want to reach players which has Huawei mobile phone.

Actually, Unity developers are used to managing game flows and services according to platforms such as IOS & Android. But this time, there is one thing different. Huawei Mobile phones have still used Android Operations System and your Unity Project should be using the Android Platform when you build for Huawei. But at the end of the day, you have to release 2 different Android APK or bundle for Huawei App Gallery.

So, what will be differences between these 2 apks?

First and the main difference is mobile services. You cannot use GMS in new Huawei Mobile Phones. Because of this, you need to create one APK which includes Huawei Mobile Services to release it in Huawei App Gallery, and one more APK which includes Google Mobile Services to release it in Google Play Market. Services are can be “In-App Purchase”, “Advertisement”, “Game Services”, “Analytics” etc…

Second and another important difference is the package name. You know, both ecosystem works on Android, so to avoid inconsistency and overriding, Huawei App Gallery has one more rule that your package name should end with “.huawei” or “.HUAWEI”. This approach is just being used for separating two ecosystems from each other.

Don't worry so much, we can handle these differences in one code base to keep development effort minimum.
