Ultimate Mobile Kit for iOS & Android - Firebase

Yep that’s what you need to add to the docs.

Will do! Thanks for the suggestion :slight_smile:

I’m stuck on setup. I’ve put everything together according to the setup guide but Firebase isn’t registering my events.

Does this run on desktop for debugging, or only mobile? I’m calling the initialization method but I only ever get a failure on the desktop. I get nothing returned on mobile, neither failure nor success:

  1. Firebase is mobile-only so Ultimate Mobile Kit is also mobile-only. The only exception is Firebase Realtime Database which is available for all platforms: https://forums.unrealengine.com/unre…forms-firebase
  2. Have you installed SDKs using installer?
  3. Is your plugin installed in the engine or project directory? This is a bug in the engine with including SDKs if Third-Party plugins are placed in the engine directory. So if you have installed it in the engine, please move plugin from [ENGINE_FOLDER]/Engine/Plugins/Marketplace/UltimateMobileKit to [PROJECT_FOLDER]/Plugins/UltimateMobileKit and try again.

Please let me know if it helped you. If not, could you please attach logs from your device?

Thank you for your patience.

  1. Gotcha
  2. Yes I have
  3. Project directory. On Mac it failed to build in the Engine directory anyway. :slight_smile:

I’ve gotten it running the initialization on the device now but it’s failing. How would you debug it? I’m a little wary of the fact that the setup was way too easy.

Edit: actually the installer is in the plugins directory. I’ll move the UMK plugin and try again! Thanks!

Edit again: yup that fixed it! That might also be worth noting in the docs about the Engine plugins folder. I know the setup says to use the project folder but it should say why.

I’m glad it works now for you! :smiley: We will include your suggestions into next iteration of docs :slight_smile:

Many thanks, for your wonderful support guys. A decent plugin worth spending money on!

If you haven’t owned it yet, you can buy now on Sellfy or UE4 Marketplace.

I’m getting a crash on the latest version on iOS. Initially it’s OK but it feels like if I call two Firebase Analytics Log Event at once it crashes.

I’d give more info but I don’t seem to be able to set a provisioning profile for an iOS build in XCode, so I can’t run it with the debugger. If anyone knows how to get past that I’d appreciate advice on how to get it done. Isn’t Firebase meant to log crashes?

Also, are there any guides on how to actually use the data being collected in the Firebase console? I have data events appearing but not the actual data.

Hello Antidamage,

Please contact us on Discord (gameDNA is coming back very soon – gameDNA) in order to schedule TeamViewer session and we will assist you with configuration of Ultimate Mobile Kit directly on your computer :smiley:

Hello, I’m stuck trying to implement on UE4.21 on Win10 with just analytics checked off and just trying to get it to work on IOS. I’m setting it up on a project that is mixed C++ and blueprint and requires remote build on a mac. Here’s my process so far: Downloaded from the Epic store which put the plugin in the Engine directory, set up installer, installer failed because path too long, then moved my whole engine folder to c:\UE4_21, then success with installer. Installed the plist file with installer and looking at DefaultEngine.ini it looks happy as its showing all of the plist data ported in to the config. It builds in installs fine on the device. No action on analytics though. When I launch to device and then download the log, I see this error:

[2019.03.22-07.07.51:653] 0]LogUltimateMobileKit: Ultimate Mobile Kit CreateSubsystem!
[2019.03.22-07.07.51:654] 0]LogUltimateMobileKit: Warning: Ultimate Mobile Kit API failed to initialize!

Looks like it fails to initialize the core API.
I have tried reinstalling the sdk with installer, then I moved the plugin to the project folder (which I should have done initially and would be a nice thing to add to the documentation startup, since moving UE4 engine from its installation folder to the drive root is not good for updates or installing other marketplace content), then tried reinstalling SDK and then going to the remote build machine and wiping out the build folder for the project and rebuilding it.

I guess I would look for anything that I’m obviously doing wrong here and also if there is any way to get it to spit out more detail on the log. I’ve tried using the debugger on the mac and it doesn’t provide any additional information.

Hello,

as we said many times there is a bug in UE 4.21 with remote connection from Windows to macOS. The only workaround is to build your project directly on your Mac or use UE 4.22.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

Hi all,

Maybe another question about the future of a firestore update?

as of now firestore is officially out of beta and i would be interested if there is already a schedule for an update to include it?

Many thanks for an answer!

We have Firestore on To-Do list but we are waiting on final SDK.

Hello !

i would like to know if i can use Ultimate Plugin for :

  • Storing and Retrieving SaveGame data to and from Firebase from other platforms than mobile ( PC,MAC etc. Oculus GO/Quest )

Also some other minor questions :

  • MOBILE : Can i check IAPs for GooglePlay and Apple Store?
  • MOBILE : Can i authenticate using a Unique USERNAME instead of email?
  • GENERAL : Does ue4 Savegames stored to Cloud Firestore or to Storage?

Sorry for being too noobish, i did bought all your plugins to support! ( except Realtime ;p ) ( havent used them until now :slight_smile: )

GREAT JOB AGAIN!

Thank you for your appreciation! :smiley:

  1. You can store and retrieve SaveGame only for mobile but we are working on support for all platforms.
  2. Plugin doesn’t support checking IAP.
  3. You can do this when you use method Authenticate with Custom Token. In this case token = username.
  4. SaveGames are stored in Firebase Storage.

Hey guys,
I own this plugin for a little while now but just recently started using it. My knowledge about it is still limited so I will adjust my review here in time.

What I do need to say though is: The support is absolute top notch!

2 support inquiries on 2 different days. 2 answers within like what… 1 minute on each? like this is crazy. He is friendly. Caring. Helpful. I can only recommend the plugins of this developer/s. It might seem to be an intimidating price tag when you don’t know the quality beforehands. I am here to let everyone know. Worth it!

Thank you very much! We always do our best :smiley:
