UDP reference

UDP console reference

This section provides a high-level overview of the UDP console’s information architecture.

The UDP console contains a navigation bar that lets you navigate between the following sections of the UDP console:

  • Get Started
  • My Games
  • Reporting
  • Partner Stores
  • Resources

Get Started

The Get Started tab of the UDP console contains useful information on how to use the UDP console, including: * Tutorial videos * A walkthrough guide to help you track your progress * Store-specific information * FAQ

My Games

The My Games tab displays your UDP projects. From here you can switch between UDP projects, create a new game, and archive and restore games.

When you select a game, the following tabs are available:

  • Game Info
  • Publish
  • Status

Each game card displays the status of the game. The “Published” status indicates the game has completed all of the available steps to be repacked and submitted to the store.

Game Info

Use the Game Info page to view and edit your game information. To view the Game Info page for a game, select the card in the My Games tab.

The Game Info page contains the following sections:

The Game Info page contains a progress bar to show you how close you are to being able to release your game. Additionally, the tabs in the side menu are shown as ticked when you have added the necessary info for that section.

Game description

Use the Game Description section to enter information that will be displayed for your game in app stores.

The table below describes a superset of all the participating stores’ requirements. Not all stores use all of the properties described. The UDP console flags which fields are mandatory and which are optional. Additionally, some stores have specific syntax requirements. These are indicated in the UDP console.

Propiedad Descripción
Import from Google Play If you have already published your game on Google Play, you can import the basic information using your game’s Google Play URL.
Game Title The title of your game (this field is synced with the Editor).
Genre Indicates the category that your game belongs to. You can choose from Action, Adventure, Arcade, Board, Card, Casino, Casual, Educational, Music, Puzzle, Racing, Role Playing, Simulation, Sports, Strategy, Trivia, and Word.
Dispositivo Choose between Smartphone, Tablet, or Universal.
Game Icon The game icon to show on the app stores.
Short Description Short description (max 60 char) of your game to show on the app stores.
Descripción Full-length description (4,000 char) of your game to show on the app stores.
Game Banners An image used by stores to feature your game. For example, it can be a placement in a carousel. The landscape banner is mandatory, the portrait banner is optional.
Keywords Define up to 4 keywords (30 char each). These are used for search purposes in the app stores.
Feature Video Add a video trailer for your game.
Note: For videos, some stores only accept MP4 files while others only accept a Youtube link. Unity recommends you upload both.
Screenshots Add screenshots of your game, including the cover image (thumbnail) to lay over the MP4 video when it is not playing.
Add at least four images per orientation that you use.
Some app stores only accept either portrait or landscape images, but not both. If you do upload both portrait and landscape images to UDP, select your preferred orientation in the Preference field. UDP will inform you if the screenshots do not meet the stores’ requirements.
Preference Certain stores only accept portrait or landscape images. For such stores, specify which orientation of image to use.
Ratings Select the audience which the game is suitable for.

You can specify metadata for each of your supported languages. To add new languages, select the language dropdown while in edit mode and select Manage Languages.

Binary

Use the Binary section to upload your APK file and OBB files:

Propiedad Descripción
APK File Your UDP game build. If you pushed your UDP build via Cloud Build, you don’t need to upload it again.
For UDP to accept your APK file, the APK file:
- Must contain a versionName
- Must have an Initialize() method
- Must have a Purchase() method (for games with IAP)
If you upload a new APK version which contains a different package name, you will receive an error. This also prevents publishing the new APK version.
Version code This field is only displayed once you’ve uploaded your game to UDP.
Minimum Android Version Support Minimum supported Android version for your game. This field is only displayed once you’ve uploaded your game to UDP.
What’s New Describe what’s changed with this version of your game. UDP publishes this information in the stores.
This field is only displayed once you’ve uploaded your game to UDP.
OBB File (Main) The main extension file for additional resources that your game or app might need.
OBB File (Patch) Optional file to make small updates to the main expansion file.
Does your game use Google Play Services? Knowing about your Google Play Services usage helps UDP better guide you during the submission stage.

OBB files are not pushed during a CloudBuild deployment, so if your game uses them you must upload them manually to the UDP console.

Note: You can only change the APK files and OBB files in the default language view (English).

Ads

The table below describes the Ads section.

Propiedad Descripción
Does your game contain ads Select whether or not your game contains ads. This information is useful for UDP to better guide you during submission.
What ad mediation solutions does your game use? (Optional) If your game contains ads, select which mediation solutions your game uses.
What ad networks does your game use? (Optional) If your game contains ads, select which ad networks your game uses.

Certain stores expect you to implement their proprietary ad network in games you submit to them.

UDP asks if your game contains ads to better inform your submissions to the stores, especially if UDP can ascertain that your submission will be rejected from a store because of this.

Stores which might reject your game display a warning icon in the Publish section, and a tooltip to explain the issue that might occur. UDP otherwise does not modify your game’s ad implementation in any way.

Tests of the most common mediation layers and ad networks indicate that games repacked for the UDP stores generally have no problem receiving ad campaigns. Feel free to ask UDP Support about your ad setup and its suitability for distribution via UDP. Make sure you mention which mediation SDK and ad networks your game uses, to get a better-informed answer faster.

Premium price

The Premium price is the price it costs players to download your game.

Propiedad Descripción
Manage amounts and currencies Set the cost of the game in USD.
Select Convert to automatically convert the USD price into the other listed currencies.You can also edit prices manually for specific currencies.

Note: You can only submit premium games to stores which support premium games.

In-App Purchases

Use the In-App Purchases section to add and manage IAP items.

If using the UDP package, UDP automatically keeps your game’s IAP Catalog synchronized between the Unity Editor and the UDP console.

Propiedad Descripción
Search box Filter the list of IAP items by text.
Type dropdown Filter the list of IAPs by type, that is, consumable or non-consumable.
Sort dropdown Choose how to sort the list of IAP items.
Add Item Click to add a new IAP item. This opens a window to enter the IAP details.
Manage amounts and currencies Click to set prices for additional currencies.
Convert Converts the USD price of your IAP item into global currencies. This overwrites any manually set prices for other currencies.
Favourite Currencies Select to open the Favourite currencies window. To set currencies as favourite currencies, select the star icon next to their currency code. This pins the currency to the top of the list. Deselect the star to unpin.
IAP Item window

Use the IAP Item window to add and edit details for IAP products. To open this window select Add Item. The table below describes the windows of the Add IAP Item window.

Field Descripción
Product ID The unique ID used to identify the IAP product.
Product IDs must follow these requirements:
- Start with a letter or a digit
- Contain only letters, digits, dots (.) and underscores (_)
- Must not use capitalized letters
Nombre The name of the IAP product.
Currency Displays the currency the price is shown in.
Price The price of the IAP product in USD.
You must specify a price to enable players to purchase products in your game.
Consumable Select this option for consumable IAP items.
Descripción A short description of the IAP product.

Sandbox Testing

The Sandbox Testing section displays the test status for your game. Use this section to create user credentials for testing in the sandbox environment and view the status of the tests. The table below describes the fields of this section.

Field Descripción
Test status Displays the test status for the game.
UDP Initialization Displays the test status for the Initialization check. This checks to ensure the Initialize() method is called (for all games).
IAP Transaction Displays the test status for the IAP transactions check. Purchase() method is called (for IAP games only)
Sandbox Test Account The email address for the sandbox test account. It is used as the login name for the UDP sandbox environment only.
Password The password for the test account.

App Signature

UDP uses an App-signing private key to sign the repacked APK files that are submitted to the stores.

Unity recommends that you select Export and upload the key and certificate and use your own App signing private key. If your game is released on Google Play, use the same key as on Google Play. This significantly decreases the chance of your game being flagged by Google Play Protect when users install it.

Note: If your game is flagged, you can appeal to Google here.

The table below describes the App Signature section of the Game Info tab.

Propiedad Descripción
Let UDP create and manage App signing private key UDP generates a different App signing private key for each store the game is repacked for.
This option leaves your game more vulnerable to Google Play Protect warnings.
Export and upload the key and certificate (recommended) UDP uses the App signing private key you upload to sign the repacked builds. If you select this option, it applies to all stores you submit your game to.
Steps Displays the steps to export and upload your private key.

Note: App signature generation is only supported for Android SDK Version 18 and above. If your game uses a lower SDK version than this, use the RSA algorithm signature or increase the game’s Minimum API Level.

Changing keys

You can switch from using the UDP key to your own key at any time. This change only applies for stores that the game has not been repacked for (and therefore signed). If you have previously repacked for a store using the UDP key, that store will always use the UDP key.

You can only switch from using your own key to the UDP key if you have not repacked your game (and your own key) for any store.

UDP-generated keys

UDP uses company information to generate a keystore for the repacked APK files when the following conditions are met:

  • The APK file uploaded by the developer does not contain the keystore file.
  • The game has not been repacked in the partner store.

If these conditions are not met, UDP uses an existing UDP keystore if available, or it uses the developer information to generate a new signature file.

Integration Information

This information is synced with the Editor. The following fields are editable:

Field Descripción
Unity Project ID The Unity project ID linked to the UDP client.
To unlink a Unity project from the UDP client, delete the ID in this field and select Save.
Note: Only owners and managers can edit this field.
Callback URL URL of the game server. UDP uses this to send notifications for payment results.

Release window

The Release window lets you release versions of your game. This is displayed when you select Release in the Game Info page.

The Release window contains fields to specify the version’s:

  • Tag
  • Release notes

The tag and release notes of all your revisions are visible in:

  • The Game Info section, when expanding the Revision drop-down
  • The Status section, which is organized by Release

Note: You can only publish the latest revision to the stores.

Reporting dashboard

The Reporting tab displays performance information for your published games. Monitor the performance of your published games from the Reporting dashboard, which is accessible from the top navigation bar.

You can filter the information presented on the Reporting dashboard by game and/or by store.

If you don’t select anything in the All Games and All Stores filters for the whole Reporting dashboard, you can view breakdowns on an individual chart level (where applicable). On supported charts, select the by store or by game filters to view performance on specific stores or for individual games.

The Reporting dashboard is divided into five panels, all subject to the Games and Stores filters. For the panels which are subject to the date filter, you can export chart data as CSV files and images. To download the data as a CSV file or image, select the corresponding icon for the chart.
