Hey, it’s time for an other tip today!

There are small details in Unity which can make you crazy: compiling an Android project with the correct certificate request you to provide the password each time you open the project. Ok, that’s not a big deal! But the problem is: if you miss to write it and launch the compilation it will be at the end of the process than you will be informed you didn’t set it up and so it fails. With a 30 minute build time (on a big project), if you miss it, you’ve the right to be angry! Why the hell Unity doesn’t check it before!?

Anyway let’s make a small Editor Script:

using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor; [InitializeOnLoad] public class StartUp { #if UNITY_EDITOR static StartUp() { PlayerSettings.keystorePass = "myPwd"; PlayerSettings.keyaliasPass = "myAliasPwd"; } #endif }

Thanks to this script, when the project will be opened the password will be registered!

Ok an other thing to figure, the keystore path is saved in your ProjectSettings.asset. So the path need to be changed on each computer. Not a big deal, but it could be done automatically if it’s near your project. On the script above, add:

PlayerSettings.Android.keystoreName = Application.dataPath + "/user.keystore";

The last thing to do would be to reset this path when Unity goes in the background so you can git push/pull without creating conflict. Unfortunately I can’t find a way to detect correctly when Unity goes in background, see http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/trapping-if-unity-editor-is-foreground.271391/. Do you know a way to do it?
