OverviewĬloud Build works by pulling the latest changes from your code repository and building your project remotely. The general workflow looks something like this: You can set up different platform targets (such as iOS and Android) and configure tests to automatically run after a deployment.

Cloud Build will build and deploy to configured targets.

You can even set up builds from different git branches, target platforms, and test targets. To get started, navigate to the cloud build dashboard.

You’ll need to have created a Unity Services project first, but that is pretty straight forward.

The first time you visit the cloud build dashboard, it will prompt you to setup your build. Cloud Build DashboardĬloud Build supports GitHub, BitBucket, and GitLab out of the box (although you can also specify your own custom repository). After you setup your repository (authentication) you will be prompted to select your build target platforms. Not much to comment on the settings here, but one thing I do recommend is to specify the version of Unity to use when building. This reduces the chance of unknown build failures. Most unity version bumps are backwards compatible but there’s the chance that bugs in the build process are not caught until later in the release cycle. Set the Unity Version that your project uses! Certificates and iOS Cloud Build For that reason, I prefer to use a static version of Unity. The next step is to setup any signing certificates and credentials that may be required for the platform. For iOS builds, you will need to provide a provisioning profile and a p12 File. The great news though is that after you setup the profile, you’ll be able to build iOS builds via Cloud Build. This is a HUGE time saver for developers who primarily develop on windows.

I would use Cloud Build just for this feature alone. Unity cloud build only doing one how to#īuild HistoryĪfter setting up your build target, you’ll be able to kick off new builds and monitor the progress from the history dashboard.
