Unity Remote

Unity Remote is a downloadable app designed to help with Android, iOS Apple’s mobile operating system. More info
See in Glossary and tvOS development. The app connects with Unity while you are running your project in Play Mode from the Unity Editor. The visual output from the Editor is sent to the device’s screen, and the live inputs are sent back to the running project in Unity. This allows you to get a good impression of how your game really looks and handles on the target device, without the hassle of a full build for each test.

Note: For Unity Remote to work, you need to have the Android SDK on your development machine.

Unity Remote replaces the separate iOS and Android Remote apps used with earlier versions. Those older Remote apps are no longer supported.

Device and feature Support

Unity Remote currently supports Android devices (on Windows and OS X via a USB connection) and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV, through USB on OS X and Windows with iTunes).

The Game View of the running Unity project is duplicated on the device screen, but at a reduced framerate. The following input data from the device is also streamed back to the Editor:

• Touch and stylus input
• Accelerometer
• Gyroscope
• Device camera A component which creates an image of a particular viewpoint in your scene. The output is either drawn to the screen or captured as a texture. More info
  See in Glossary streams
• Compass
• GPS
• Joystick names and input

Note that the Remote app simply shows the visual output on the device and takes input from it. The game’s actual processing is still done by the Editor on the desktop machine — so its performance is not a perfect reflection of the built app.

Obtaining and using Unity Remote

You can download Unity Remote for free in the form of a Unity project that you build yourself, or as a pre-built app from the device’s app store:

• Android app from Google Play
• iOS and tvOS apps from the App Store

Once you’ve downloaded the app, install and run it on your device and connect the device to your computer using a USB cable.

To enable Unity to work with your device, open the Editor settings in Unity (menu: Edit > Project Settings A broad collection of settings which allow you to configure how Physics, Audio, Networking, Graphics, Input and many other areas of your project behave. More info
See in Glossary , then select the Editor category) and select the device to use from the Unity Remote section:

Note: To specify the location of your Android SDK, go to Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Unity > Preferences (Mac).

Click the Play button in the Editor to see your game appear on the device and in the Unity game window as Unity connects to the Remote app. While the game plays, input from the device (accelerometer, etc.) is sent to your scripts A piece of code that allows you to create your own Components, trigger game events, modify Component properties over time and respond to user input in any way you like.

See in Glossary as if they were running on the device itself.

Troubleshooting

I have more than one device plugged in, but only one of them works with Unity

Unity Remote doesn’t support multiple connected Android devices, and to resolve this, it automatically picks the first device it finds. However, it is fine to have multiple iOS/tvOS devices and one Android device connected at the same time, since you can select which one to use from the Editor settings (menu: Edit > Project Settings, then select the Editor category).

I’m getting really poor graphics quality when running my game in Unity Remote

When you use Unity Remote the game actually runs in the Editor, while its visual content is streamed to the target device. Since the bandwidth between the Editor and the device is limited, the stream must be compressed heavily for transmission. This compression A method of storing data that reduces the amount of storage space it requires. See Texture Compression, Animation Compression, Audio Compression, Build Compression.
See in Glossary inevitably reduces the image quality.

In the Unity Remote section of the Editor window (menu: Edit > Project Settings, then select the Editor category) you can switch the compression method between JPEG and PNG. PNG compression is “lossless” (so the image quality doesn’t degrade) but uses more bandwidth than JPEG. A downsized image has lower bandwidth requirements than one at full resolution. By changing these settings, you can trade image accuracy off against framerate as necessary. When using a lower resolution, be aware that Unity Remote downsizes images for better performance.

Bear in mind that Unity Remote is only really intended to give a quick approximate check of how your game will look and feel when running on the device. Make sure that you occasionally do a full build and test the “real” app.

Unity Remote 4

Unity Remote (currently at version 4), is a downloadable app designed to help with Android or iOS development. The app connects with Unity while you are running your project in Play mode from the editor. The visual output from the editor is sent to the device’s screen and the live inputs are sent back to the running project in Unity. This allows you to get a good impression of how your game really looks and handles on the target device without the nuisance of a full build for each test.

With version 4, Unity Remote has been completely rewritten and replaces the separate iOS and Android Remote apps used with earlier versions.

Device and Feature Support

Unity Remote currently supports Android devices (on Windows and OSX via a USB connection) and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, through USB and only on OSX)

The Game view of the running Unity project is duplicated on the device screen but at a reduced framerate. The following input data from the device is also streamed back to the editor:

• Сенсорный ввод
• Акселерометр
• Гироскоп
• Потоки камеры устройства
• Compass
• GPS

Note that the Remote app simply shows the visual output on the device and takes input from it. The game’s actual processing is still done by the Unity editor on the desktop machine and so its performance is not a perfect reflection of the built app.

Obtaining and Using Unity Remote

Unity Remote can be downloaded for free in the form of a Unity project that you build yourself or as a pre-built app from the device’s app store:

• Unity Project (requires custom building) from the Asset Store:
• Android App from Google Play:
• iOS App from the App Store:

Having downloaded the app, you should install and run it on your device and also connect the device to your computer using a USB cable.

To enable Unity to work with your device, you should open the Editor Settings in Unity (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Editor) and select the device to use from the Unity Remote section:

If you now click the Play button in the editor, you should see your game appear on the device as well as the Unity game window as Unity connects to the Remote app. While the game plays, input from the device (accelerometer, etc) will be sent to your scripts as if they were running on the device itself.

Решение проблем

Currently Unity Remote doesn’t support multiple connected devices of the same kind (ie, two iPhones or two Androids) and to resolve this, it will automatically pick the first device it finds. However, it is fine to have one iOS and one Android device connected at the same time since you can select which one to use from the Editor Settings mentioned above (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Editor).

The editor doesn’t connect to the iOS device on OSX

To establish the connection to the iOS device through USB, Unity uses a 3rd party utility (iproxy) which is known to misbehave occasionally. You can try the following to fix the problem:

• Reconnect the device.
• Restart the device.
• Go to the Editor settings (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Editor) and in the Unity Remote settings, briefly switch the device to Any Android Device and then back to Any iOS Device.
• Restart the Unity editor.
• Quit the Unity editor, open the Terminal and execute the command killall unityiproxy . Then, restart the editor again.

In most cases reconnecting or restarting the iOS device is enough to restore the connection.

Решение проблем

I have more than one device plugged in but only one of them works with Unity

В настоящее время Unity Remote не поддерживает несколько подключенных устройств того же рода (т.е. два iPhone’а или два Android’а), и он автоматически выберет первое устройство, которое обнаружит. Но, если иметь одно iOS и одно Android устройство, подключенные одновременно, то это будет работать, и вы сможете выбрать какое устройство использовать в Edit->Project Settings->Editor в настройках Unity Remote, прежде чем нажать кнопку Play.

Я получаю действительно плохое качество графики при запуске своей игры в Unity Remote. Что я могу сделать, чтобы это исправить?

При использовании Unity Remote, игра на самом деле работает в редакторе Unity а его визуальное содержимое передается на целевое устройство. Поскольку пропускная способность между редактором и устройством ограничена, поток сжимается, и вы увидите неизбежные артефакты. Это невозможно изменить. Unity Remote предназначен для быстрой приближенной проверки, как ваша игра будет чувствовать себя при запуске на устройстве и для других быстрых тестов. Для реальной проверки используйте обычные средства для сборки и запуска приложения на устройстве (используйте File->Build & Run в редакторе Unity).

In the Unity Remote section of the Editor settings (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Editor), you can switch the compression method between JPEG and PNG and also optionally downsize the resolution of the screen image. PNG compression is “lossless” (ie, image quality doesn’t degrade) but uses more bandwidth than JPEG. A downsized image has lower bandwidth requirements than one at full resolution. By changing these settings, you can trade image accuracy off against framerate as necessary.

However, you should bear in mind that Unity Remote is only really intended to give a quick approximate check of how your game will look and feel when running on the device. You should make sure that you occasionally do a full build and test the “real” app.

Редактор не подключается к устройству iOS. Что я могу сделать?

Чтобы установить соединение с устройством iOS через USB, Unity использует стороннюю утилиту (iproxy), которая иногда ведет себя некорректно, и Unity не может обнаружить это. Вы можете попробовать следующие, чтобы решить эту проблему:

• Переподключите устройство iOS.
• Перезапустите устройство iOS.
• Зайдите в Edit->Project Settings->Editor и в настройках Unity Remote выберите Any Android Device, а потом обратно Any iOS Device.
• Перезапустите редактор Unity.
• Quit the Unity editor, open the Terminal and execute the command killall unityiproxy . Then, restart the editor again.

В большинстве случаев переподключения или перезапуска устройства iOS достаточно, чтобы решить проблему.
