Can Unity Cloud Build Make a Final Build?

The recent overhaul of Unity's build system in version 2020.1 has led to some unforeseen challenges when integrating AndroidX and Jetifier with the Firebase SDK for Unity. As a result, the mechanism by which these components are integrated no longer functions as seamlessly as it did in previous versions of Unity.

Prior to Unity 2020.1, the integration process was simplified thanks to the way information was transmitted from the google-services.json file to the final Android game. However, with the new build system, this mechanism has been invalidated, making it necessary for developers to find workarounds to get things up and running.

The Firebase SDK for Unity includes native C++ code and Android-specific logic, which requires some build-time operations to function properly. Unfortunately, these changes have caused some of the integrations built by the Firebase games team to stop functioning correctly.

For those developers using Unity 2020.1, this post will outline the necessary workarounds to get your projects up and running. Until then, we recommend continuing to use Unity 2019 for the best developer experience. Our team is aware of these issues and is working hard to rectify the situation as soon as possible.

Firebase is committed to building an easy-to-use and robust backend service for Unity developers. As part of this commitment, we will continue to work on resolving these integration issues and providing a seamless experience for our users.
