Current unity SDK does not go well with .net 4.6

[Thaina Yu]

Now unity3D latest version is 2017.1 which enable .NET 4.6 and C#6

But it seem like Firebase Unity SDK use custom Task library which cannot use async/await and cause error to remove it from Parse folder

What will be the future of unity SDK in unity 2017. Will we be using Firebase Xamarin SDK instead?

[Stewart Miles]

Right now .NET 4.6 is experimental in Unity 2017.  We ship plugins that have .NET 3.5 DLLs enabled by default.  We also ship a .NET 4.6 type forwarding DLL for the Parse Tasks compatibility library which can be enabled by:

• Switch your project to .NET 3.x
• Import Firebase plugins (everything *must* compile)
• Switch your project to .NET 4.x - This process will enable the .NET 4.x DLLs and disable the .NET 3.x DLLs.

Alternatively you can do this manually by doing the following:

• Delete Parse/Plugins/Unity.Tasks.dll
• Enable Parse/Plugins/dotNet45/Unity.Tasks.dll for all platforms (it's disabled by default)

If / when Unity decide to switch to .NET 4.x by default we'll do the same.  Even better you could help us lobby Unity to have .NET version specific DLLs then we wouldn't need to do this dance.  Right now we would prefer to not ship separate plugin distributions for .NET 3.x and .NET 4.x as they only differ by one DLL.

If you want to use Firebase Xamarin, you can go ahead but you'll miss a lot of features offered by the Unity SDK.

Cheers,

Stewart

Thank you for your response. But would you please explain how to manually enable Parse/Plugins/dotNet45/Unity.Tasks.dll ?

[Stewart Miles]

You need to change each DLL's import settings, see https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ImportSettings.html

Here's the required settings in .NET 3.5...

Parse/Unity.Tasks.dll

​

Parse/dotNet45/Unity.Tasks.dll

​

--------------------------------------

And the required settings for .NET 4.6...

Parse/Unity.Tasks.dll

​

Parse/dotNet45/Unity.Tasks.dll
