SDK 5.0.0 Release Notes

7 months ago

Pley SDK 5.0.0 is a major update, both adding new functionality and removing features.
Due to this, games will have to make changes in their game code to update to 5.0.0. We don't plan to release breaking changes lightly in the future. Read more

The update comes with a major API restructuring, replacing callbacks with tasks. This is the most breaking change when updating to the SDK 5.0.0.

New AnalyticsKit for commercial funnel event API with the following methods: GameLoaded(), UserEngaged(), UserInteracted(). On top of this, multiple features have been removed, stability has improved, and loading times have been reduced.

See the updated API documentation here.

if (result.IsError())
{
  Debug.LogError($"Failed to request payment: {result}");
  return;
}

Debug.Log($"Payment successful - entitlementId: {data.entitlementId}");

PaymentsKit.RequestPaymentAsync(paymentKitProduct)
  .Then((result, data) =>
  {
    if (result.IsError())
    {
