Pyze Unity App SDK: Setup & Initialize

The instructions on this page assume you have installed the Pyze SDK into your Unity project. If not, Install the SDK and come back to this page. See Getting Started Unity Guide.

Setup

After importing Pyze Unity package, you will notice the Pyze menu. Select the Initialize Pyze option and enter your Pyze App Keys for android and/or iOS platforms and select desired log level. Usually PyzeLogLevelMinimal.

Ensure you have set the Android Minimum Api Level to 15 or higher and given a unique bundle id.

Click on Save and you are done!

Alternate manual setup

If you do not want to use, or can not use the Pyze plugin for Unity, you can make the following steps manually.

iOS

Modify the PyzeAppController.mm file present in the, Plugin/iOS/ folder and replace the Pyze App Key with your own key and set the logThrottling attribute to desired LogLevel. If you already have an AppController, merge the two controllers accordingly.

For iOS and tvOS, add code in willFinishLaunchingWithOptions and NOT didFinishLaunchingWithOptions. Also see iOS App Lifecycle Deconstructed to understand your app’s lifecycle

#import "UnityAppController.h"
@import Pyze;
@interface PyzeAppController : UnityAppController {}
@end
@implementation PyzeAppController
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application willFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    [Pyze initialize:@"Add your iOS Pyze App Key Here" withLogThrottling:PyzelogLevelMinimal];
    [super application:application willFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
    return YES;
}
@end

IMPL_APP_CONTROLLER_SUBCLASS( PyzeAppController )

Note: For iOS generated build, -ObjC linker flag will automatically be added to your project.

Android
//Import the PyzeUnity Package
Using PyzeUnity;

//Make sure to call Pyze.initialize api, before calling any other Pyze api

void Start(){
    Pyze.Initialize ("PYZE_APP_KEY",PyzeLogLevel.PyzelogLevelMinimal);
}

//Also make sure, Inside Player Setting, Internet Access is set to require

Build and Go!

Events

Pyze Unity App SDK - Events

See a detailed Events Overview at api & events.

You can access the all pyze events classes from pyze.unity namespace

Custom Event Handling

Pyze has made it easy for you to capture events. We support many built-in events (see api).

For example, to send a custom “Game End event” use:

using PyzeUnity; //Import the PyzeUnity package
    ...
    ...
Dictionary<string, object> customAttributes = new Dictionary<string, object>();
customAttributes.Add("First Name","John");
customAttributes.Add("Last Name","Smith");
customAttributes.Add("Age",25);
Pyze.PyzeEvents.Ad.PostAdRequested(
    "AdMob",            // AdNetwork
    "Settings",            // App Screen
    "300x50",            // Ad SIze
    "Banner",            // Type
    customAttributes
);

Curated Event Handling

We also support custom events in addition to built in events. See custom events class api for Unity.

For example, to send a custom “Game End event” use:

using PyzeUnity;  //Import the PyzeUnity package
    ...
    ...
Dictionary<string, object> customAttributes = new Dictionary<string, object>();
customAttributes.Add("Seconds Played",33.33);
customAttributes.Add("Bulletes Fired",300);
customAttributes.Add("Enemy Killed",25);
Pyze.PyzeEvents.PostCustomEventWithAttributes("Game End", customAttributes);

Push Notifications (Unity - iOS)

Apple Push Notifications

Apple provides a Apple Push Notification service (APNs) to allow app developers to reach out to their users via push notifications.

The App businesses have the option of hosting and running servers “provider” themselves to send notification content “payload” to Apple over a persistent and secure channel using HTTP/2 multiplex protocol. Apple then forwards the notification content to your app on user’s device.

Pyze customers don’t have to maintain provider servers to communicate with Apple’s push notification service. Pyze can be used to send push notifications for an app in development, an app in production provisioned through the app store, and to a combination of apps in development and production.

Prerequisites

You will need access to your Apple developer Account, Xcode development environment, macOS Keychain Access, and finally iTunes Connect to publish your push-notification enabled app.

Using Pyze as your provider for push notifications

In the following sections, we will create APNs SSL certificates, use your Keychain to convert it into a file (.p12) and upload it to growth.pyze.com. We will also create a mobile provisioning file to import into Xcode. Then we will also enable Background Modes in your project using Xcode and write code to register for remote notifications in your app. Finally, we will enable your app with push notifications.

You will be doing a lot of configuring and clicking, but only write 4-5 lines of code.

1. Generate and download APNs SSL certificates
Login into your Apple developer Account
Create or Edit App and enable Push Notifications

  • From Apple developer Account, click on Certificate, Identifiers & Profiles. (Note: “People” resource is available to developers who you enroll as an organization, as opposed to an individual)

  • Under Identifiers group, click on App IDs. If creating a new app, click on the “+” button on top right. Or, if you have already created the app, select the app and click on the Edit button.

  • Get the bundle ID from your app

Enter your App Id Description and suffix (bundle id) and make sure you have enabled Push Notifications. Ensure the bundle ID that you provide matches the bundle ID that you’re using in your app. (This is a common mistake). Click on Continue.

Generate SSL certificate and download it

  • Once you successfully created the App-ID, select your App-ID and click the Edit button. In the resulting page scroll down to the Apple Push Notification service SSL Certificates section.

  • Click on Create Certificate button for either Development SSL certificate or Production SSL certificate. See Distribution considerations below.

  • You will be presented with instructions for creating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in Keychain Access. Do not click on Continue and please read the instructions provided by Apple and/or follow along below.

  • In the Applications folder on your Mac, open the Utilities folder and launch Keychain Access (Or press command-space and type Keychain Access). Within the Keychain Access Utilities App’s drop down menu, select Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority.

  • In the Certificate Information window, enter the email address and a name for your private key. Leave CA Email Address field blank. In the “Request is” group, select the “Saved to disk” option. Click Continue and then save at a known location within Keychain Access to complete the CSR generating process.

  • Switch back to the Apple developer Account where you left of and click on Continue. Upload your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) needed to generate certificate.

  • Generate and then download the certificate as a .cer file

2. Generate Personal Information Exchange PKCS #12 (.p12)

Import certificates into Keychain Access and export Personal Information Exchange PKCS #12 (.p12) file

  • Import the certificate (.cer) you created, either by double clicking it or by choosing File > Import items in Keychain Access.

  • Ensure you have selected your certificate from ‘My Certificates’ under left hand side ‘Category’.

  • Select the certificate which you have added choose File > Export items from menu and export the certificate as Personal Information Exchange (.p12) file. While saving the p12, it is always recommended that you create a password. Note down your password, you will need it in the later steps.

3.Create Mobile Provisioning profile to download and import into Xcode

In this we will create a mobile provisioning profile in Apple developer Account, download it and import it into Xcode. The profile contains test devices you can send push notifications to during development.

  • Login into Apple developer Account, click on Certificate, Identifiers & Profiles.<br (Note: “People” resource is available to developers who you enroll as an organization, as opposed to an individual)

  • Select ‘All’ under Provisioning Profiles in Certificates, Identifiers & profiles. Click ‘+’ on top right to create a new profile

  • Depending on type of provisioning profile (development or production provisioning profile), select the right type. Click on Continue. See Distribution considerations below.

  • Select App ID which you have created. Click on Continue.

    Select iOS Development Certificate or iOS Production Certificate which you created and click on Continue.
    Select Devices pane appears, select device(s) which you would to want to test the APNs service and click on Continue
    Enter a profile name for your app, click Continue and Download the certificate and click Done.

    Note, if Certificates don’t exist, you will be prompted to create one.

  • Once you ‘Download’ the mobile provision certificate, import it into Xcode by double clicking downloaded mobile provisioning certificate.

  • Verify time and date of import into xcode, by opening terminal and typing the following. You should see the date time of the latest imports. ls -light ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles

Joes-MacBook-Pro-15:~ awesomejoe$ ls -light ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles
9453527 -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 7.7K Jan 8 15:27 cafebeef-dead-bead-fade-decadeaccede.mobileprovision

4. Configure Pyze as your provider

In order to allow Pyze to send push notifications on your behalf to users of your app, please provide the iOS push certificate to Pyze.

  • Login to growth.pyze.com
  • Click Settings from the Navigation Pane
  • Select the app you want to provide keys for from the drop down list
  • Select Push Notifications on the left menu
  • Upload a Push notifications certificate in .p12 format, provide p12 password (the password you generated while creating the certificate), and specify the provisioning mode: Development or Production depending on the type of certificate you are using.
  • Select daily and weekly quota limits
  • Click Save

5. Distribution considerations

Before you publish your app to AppStore or make a public Ad Hoc release, ensure you created a Production SSL certificate and used a Distribution mobile provisioning profile when following the steps above.

Also, ensure you have uploaded a Production .p12 certificate following steps mentioned in above section. Use Production Mode for Provisioning Mode.

6. Enable Remote Notifications in Xcode Project

You can either turn Remote Notifications on either from the Xcode UI or by editing the app’s property list (usually Info.plist) file depending on you preference.

Option 1: Using Xcode UI
  • In Xcode, choose View > Navigators > Show Project Navigator, or press ⌘1.
  • Select your target under the TARGET heading and then select the Capabilities tab
  • Open Background Modes, turn on slider to enable Background Modes then turn on Remote Notifications by clicking on the corresponding check mark.
Option 2: Editing app’s property list (usually Info.plist) file directly

Open your Info.plist file and add following lines

    <key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
    <array>
      <string>remote-notification</string>
    </array>

7. Enable your app for Push Notifications

Generate a build for iOS before proceeding.

We will modify the generated app delegate UnityAppController.mm in following subsections.

Register For Remote Notifications

  • Objective-C in Unity Project

    After generating a build for iOS, add following code in your generated app delegate UnityAppController.mm file’s application: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method.

     if ([UIApplication instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {    
     // iOS 8.x and tvOS 9.x onwards
     UIUserNotificationType userNotificationTypes = (UIUserNotificationTypeAlert
         | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge
         | UIUserNotificationTypeSound);

     UIUserNotificationSettings *userNotificationSettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings
         settingsForTypes:userNotificationTypes categories:nil];

     application registerUserNotificationSettings:userNotificationSettings];
     [application registerForRemoteNotifications];  
 } else { // Fallback for versions earlier than iOS 8.x
     UIRemoteNotificationType remoteNotificationTypes = (UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert
         | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound);

     [application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:remoteNotificationTypes];
 }
Let Pyze know the APNS device token

  • Objective-C in Unity Project

    After generating a build for iOS, add following code in your generated app delegate UnityAppController.mm file’s application: didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken: method.

     -(void) application: (UIApplication *) application
     didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken: (NSData *) deviceToken {
         [Pyze setRemoteNotificationDeviceToken:deviceToken];
     }
Let Pyze process Remote Notifications

  • Objective-C in Unity Project

    After generating a build for iOS, add following code in your generated app delegate UnityAppController.mm file’s application: didReceiveRemoteNotification: OR application: didReceiveRemoteNotification: fetchCompletionHandler: methods.

     //EITHER
 -(void)application:(UIApplication *)application
     didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
         [Pyze processReceivedRemoteNotification:userInfo];
     }

 //OR (recommended for background fetch)
 -(void) application:(UIApplication *)application
     didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
         fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler {
             [Pyze processReceivedRemoteNotification:userInfo];
         }

Pyze Unity App SDK - Push Notifications (Android)

Google Notifications

Google provides the Firebase Cloud Messaging service (FCM) to allow app publishers to reach out to their users via push notifications.

App Publishers have the option of hosting and running servers “app servers” themselves to send notification content “payload” to FCM. Google then forwards the notification content to your app on user’s device.

Pyze customers do not have to maintain their own servers to communicate with Google’s Messaging service. Pyze can be used to send push notifications for an app in development, an app that is live in Google Play, and to a combination of apps in development and production.

Prerequisites

You must Create Firebase project in Firebase console. Click here after logging into the google account that owns your project for next steps.

Following sections

In the following sections, we will generate the google-services.json and enter the Server Key in growth.pyze.com. Then we will also enable push notifications in your Android project.

Configuring the Server API Key and Sender ID

In this section we will

  1. Get the Server Key and Sender ID for your app
  2. Enter the Server Key on growth.pyze.com

  2. On the App Settings page, navigate to the Push Notifications settings from the left pane.
  3. Enter the Server key and Sender ID along with quota limits for the maximum number of push messages your app can send in a day and a week.
Turn on Push Notifications in your App project

  1. Create a new Android project at https://console.firebase.google.com/ and download the google-services.json.

  2. Place the google-services.json file into Assets folder of your Unity project.

  3. Make sure that you are using the same bundle identifier in firebase and your unity project.

  4. Under the “Pyze” Menu option select, “Enable Push Notification for Android”.

  5. Paste the code displayed in the window inside the tag of your manifest file.

  6. To specify custom notification icon image, you need to place two icon images in Assets/Plugins/Android/res/drawable/ folder by name “pyze_notification_icon” and “pyze_notification_icon_transperent”.
  7. Pyze also supports Rich Push Notifications. You can send images and add custom buttons in your push notifications and increase mobile engagement.

In-App Notifications

Enable In-app Notifications in your App

In-app notifications allow app publishers to reach out to app users when they use your app. In-App Notifications are deeply integrated in Pyze Growth Intelligence and allow app publishers to reach out to users from manually from Dynamic Funnels and Intelligence Explorer, and automatically based on workflows and campaigns from Growth Automation.

App publishers have full control over when to display the in-app messages and have two options: use the user interface provided by Pyze or develop their own.

Option 1. Use Pyze provided user interface

Invoke built-in User Interface from your app

You can look for In-App messages and invoke the built-in UI anywhere in your app. For example, on a button click or in your Start method or when new scene is loaded/unloaded.

Invoke UI from your app

  • Call the following method, whenever you want to show notification with default pyze UI. Method accepts a callback handler method which will be invoked whenever any of the call to action button on the UI is pressed.

     void ShowInAppMessagesWithDefaultUI(EventHandler callback);

    Or call the following method to customize the look and feel of the In-App Message Navigation Bar buttons, and show Read, Unread or Both messages. Upto twenty previously read messages are cached, so your users can view them using the PyzeInAppTypeUnread, PyzeInAppTypeRead or PyzeInAppTypeAll enumerations.

     void ShowInAppWithCustomOptions(
     PyzeInAppMessageType messageType,
     UnityEngine.Color buttonTextcolor,
     UnityEngine.Color buttonBackgroundColor,
     UnityEngine.Color backgroundColor,
     UnityEngine.Color messageCounterTextColor,
     EventHandler callback
 );

  • Call the following method, whenever you want to get the unread message count from server.

     void CountNewUnFetchedMessages(EventHandler callback);

  • To get notified which button the app user clicked on along with the deep link status, implement a handler for the call-to-action buttons.

     Pyze.PyzeEvents.InAppMessages.CountNewUnFetchedMessages((sender, e) => {
     if(Int32.Parse (e.Value) > 0){
             Pyze.PyzeEvents.InAppMessages.ShowInAppMessagesWithDefaultUI((sender, e) => {
                 //Handle Button Click
                 Debug.Log("Button Clicked: " + e.ButtonId
                     + " Title: " + e.Title
                     + " Status: " + e.Status
                     + " Url: " + e.UrlInfo
                     + " Message Id: " + e.mId
                     + " Campaign Id: " + e.cId
                     );
             });
     }
 });

Option 2. Build your own user interface

You can provide your own user interface for in-app messages using the base level APIs

  • Get Count of New and Unfetched In-App Messages

    To get the count of new and un-fetched in-app messages you can call the following method.

     void CountNewUnFetchedMessages(EventHandler<EventArgsWithString> callback);

  • Get Message Headers

    To get the message headers call the following method. Upto 20 messages are cached within the SDK. Using PyzeInAppMessageType you can fetch new unfetched messages, or previously fetched and cached in-app messages or you can get all messages.

     void GetMessageHeaderOfType(
     PyzeInAppMessageType messageType,
     <EventArgsWithDictionaryArray> callback
 );

 enum  PyzeInAppMessageType{
     PyzeInAppTypeUnread,
     PyzeInAppTypeRead,
     PyzeInAppTypeAll
 }

  • Get Message Body

    To get the message body call the following method with details of the messageHeaders

     void GetMessageWithContentID(
     string contentId,
     string messageId,
     EventHandler<EventArgsWithInAppObject> callback
 );

  • Implement handler for button clicks

    To display all unread messages

     Pyze.PyzeEvents.InAppMessages.CountNewUnFetchedMessages((sender, e) => {
     if(Int32.Parse (e.Value) > 0){
         Pyze.PyzeEvents.InAppMessages.GetMessageHeaderOfType(
                    PyzeInAppMessageType.PyzeInAppTypeAll,(sender, e) => {
             if(e.Value != null){
                 foreach (var item in e.Value) {
                     Pyze.PyzeEvents.InAppMessages.GetMessageWithContentID(
                                item["cid"], item["mid"], (sender1, e1) => {

                         Debug.Log("Button Clicked. Title: " + e1.Value.title
                             + ", Message: " + e1.Value.message
                             + ", Template: " + e1.Value.templateId
                             + ", Title Color: " + e1.Value.templateData.titleColor
                             + ", Message Color: " + e1.Value.templateData.messageColor);
                         });

                         foreach (var button in e1.Value.templateData.buttons) {
                             foreach (var attribute in button.atrributes) {
                                 Debug.Log(attribute);
                             }
                         }
                     });
                 }
             }
         });
     }
 });

Sending In-App notifications from growth.pyze.com

In-app notifications allow app publishers to reach out to app users when they use your app. In-App Notifications are deeply integrated in growth.pyze.com and allow app publishers to reach out to users from manually from Conversion Funnels and Auto Segmentation, and automatically based on workflows and campaigns from Growth Automation. For illustration purposes, we will send In-App Notifications from Conversion Funnels.

  • Sending In-App notifications from Conversion Funnels

    Create an event sequence and specify filters. You can reach out from either Build & Run or from Saved Funnels.

    Create and send an In-App Notification. In this example, we will congratulate the user for reaching a milestone with a reward.
