Firebase Auth Unity Editor Anonymous User Lifespan

[Alex Ferrier]

The new support for Auth in the Unity editor is great, and makes debugging much quicker. However, if using anonymous auth, you get a brand new auth sign-in, with a brand new user id, every time you expect Play. I was expecting an anonymous sign-in that is slightly more persistent than that e.g., user ID is saved between runs of the app, on the same machine, depending on some state such as the deleting of a local file, or some other mechanism to trigger "new Anonymous Auth user in this editor", similar to how you delete the app on your ios/Android device to create a new user. 

Is there a way to control the lifetime of anonymous users (or even force re-signing in as the same user) in the Editor? Or is it simply the case that this sort of "persistent-but-anonymous auth" (similar to launching the app multiple times on a mobile device without deleting in between) isn't supported?

Right now, nope.  We would like to add login persistence in a future release but it's not ready yet.

In the meantime while you're testing you could create a user with email / password then hard code the credentials while in edit mode to automate login.

Cheers,

Stewart

Oh, yeah, that would work as a way to handle something roughly like it for testing. Thank you.
