Upgrade Guide

Hive SDK v4.21.0 ⇨ Hive SDK v4.21.1

Use Google Play Games sign-in on Unreal Android

To provide Google Play Games sign-in, Hive SDK v4.21.1 includes com.google.android.gms:play-services-games-v2 library. It causes a conflict against com.google.android.gms:play-services-games library included in Unreal Engine. So, to use Google Play Games sign-in, you first need to modify the Unreal Engine codes as below.

  1. Open ./Engine/Build/Android/Java/src/com/epicgames/ue4/GameActivity.java.template.
  2. Remove the following line.
  3. Follow Use Google sign-in and Google Play Games sign-in on Unreal guide introduced below.

Use Google sign-in and Google Play Games sign-in on Unreal

Hive SDK supports both Google sign-in (iOS, Android) and Google Play Games sign-in (Android) for Unreal Engine. To use Google or Google Play Games sign-in, select “GOOGLE” or “GOOGLE_PLAY_GAMES” ProviderType and call AuthV4.SignIn().

To use Google sign-in under Hive SDK v4.21.1, open /Plugins/HIVESDK/Source/HIVESDK/HIVESDK_APL.xml and change AS-IS to TO-BE and call AuthV4.SignIn().

Hive SDK v4.16.4 ~ Hive SDK v4.21.0 ⇨ Hive SDK v4.21.0

Kotlin Gradle Plugin Version Change:

  • Changed the required version of the Kotlin Gradle Plugin from 1.5.10 to 1.6.20.
  • Hive SDK now includes the androidx.lifecycle library.

The change of external library settings for the Android native

Separate the external libraries of Google authentication from the external libraries of Google Play Games authentication in the module-level build.gradle file.

Release Notes

Hive SDK v4.16.4

V4.16.4.0 (Apr. 21, 2023)

New Features
  • Android
    • [Payment] Support the payments with the One Store v7 library. See the followings for how to add One Store library to Hive SDK.
    • [Common] Support BOM (Bill of Materials), a Maven library version manager, when installing Hive SDK. With this, you do not need to directly enter the external library version when you install the Hive SDK in the Android native development environment. See Upgrade Guide for details.
Changed Features
  • All
    • [Authentication] In the situations where a game app needs to be terminated, such as displaying a server maintenance pop-up or a user not agreeing to the terms and conditions, the Hive SDK no longer immediately terminates the app but forwards the termination event to the game client. The game must implement its own codes to listen for the termination event and then terminate the game app. See Upgrade Guide for details.
      • If the file I/O or network transmission/reception is in progress, the app process must be terminated after those operations are terminated.
      • You must safely terminate all threads that are not spawned from the main process as daemon threads before terminating the app process.
    • [Promotion] Added the badge notifying the available period for receiving gift at the news event banner.
    • [Billing] When requesting a purchase or a subscription if you use the iapPayload as an argument, the additional information pre-defined by the game studio can be passed to the payment transaction. The game studio can use this to track and analyze user purchase activity, and give back the pending game items to users. For more details, see use iapPayload.
      • When you proceed with a purchase via purchase method, put the additional information defined in advance in the iapPayload argument. additionalInfo is no longer used.
      • Added a builder pattern method that takes an IAPV4PurchaseParam object as an argument when requesting a subscription change via purchaseSubscription method.
      • When you proceed with a subscription via purchaseSubscriptionUpdate method, put the additional information defined in advance in the iapPayload argument. additionalInfo is no longer used.
    • [Authentication] Improve the UI that guides users to use the currently logged-in account when there is a conflict between the account the user is currently logged in and the account already linked to the Idp, if there is no game play record in the Idp-linked account. For more details, see Handling account conflicts when working with an IdP.
    • [Analytics] Added a fixed starting section (401: Hive SDK initialization starting point) to the funnel analysis metric. Starting from the initialization of the Hive SDK, you can discover which section a user strayed from while using the game app. For more details, see Sending Funnel Log on Entry Section of Game.
  • Android
    • [Common] Updated the versions of the supported external libraries. For more details, see the Appendix below.
      • OneStore v7: v21.00.01
      • From Hive SDK 4.16.4, you do not need to directly enter the external library versions in the module-level build.gradle when you use the Hive SDK on the Android native development environment. See Upgrade Guide for details.
    • [Common] Changed the minimum supported Android OS version to 5.0 (API Level 21).
    • [Billing] Changed to support multi-quantity purchase (consumable items only) for Google Play Billing.

    • [Common] Updated the versions of the supported external libraries. For more details, see the Appendix below.
      • Updated the Facebook SDK version to 14.1 (iOS 11 compatible).
      • Updated the Facebook SDK version to 16.0 (iOS 12 compatible).
    • [Common] When you build a iOS project, it is now allowed that the “HiveResource” (the UI resource bundles used for Hive SDK) is included in any build target only if it is included with the “HiveSDK” (also allowed to be in the main target).
    • [Common] The Facebook SDK version 16.0.0 must be used in the Unreal environment. For more details, see the Appendix below.
    • [Common] In the Unreal environment, you need to apply FMallocAnsi settings to be properly compatible with the C++ standard template library.
    • [Analytics] The response time metric is separated to the response time and the reaction time.
Bug Fixes
  • All
    • [Promotion] Correct the spelling of the keys in getBannerInfo method responses.

Upgrade Guide

Hive SDK v4.13.0 ~ Hive SDK v4.16.4 ⇨ Hive SDK v4.16.4

When installing the Hive SDK in the Android native development environment, you do not need to directly enter the external library version.

When adding the Hive SDK and external libraries to the module-level build.gradle file, you no longer need to manually enter the external library versions. If you enter only the external library items to be used, Hive SDK automatically sets the external library versions that matches the Hive SDK version. For more details, see here.

If necessary, you can manually enter the external library versions, like it was in the earlier versions of Hive SDK 4.16.4. Refer to the guides below.

  1. Add the repository to your project-level build.gradle file to import the external library.
  2. Set the Hive SDK and external library dependencies in the module-level build.gradle file. $HIVE_SDK_VERSION is the Hive SDK version you want to use (example: 4.16.3). To apply the VK library, targetSdkVersion 32 or higher is required.

    To check the external library versions you need to use for each Hive SDK version, check out Sample/library.gradle after downloading each Hive SDK version.

    When you want to close the game app, you need to implement the termination of the app by yourself.

    The Hive SDK no longer terminates the game apps for you. In the process of Hive Authentication and Hive initialization, you may need to close the game app. For example, when the game server is under maintenance, the game must be closed even if the user launches the game app. Also, the game app may need to be closed when the user does not agree to the terms and conditions. Starting from Hive SDK 4.16.4, the Hive SDK does not forcibly terminate the game app in certain situations including those where the game needs to be terminated, and the game company must implement the code to terminate the game app directly in the callback function.

    More specifically, from Hive SDK 4.16.4 onwards, the exitEventEnabled in the Hive_config.xml cannot be set. Instead, this value is always applied as True. Therefore, if the result of Result API class instance needExit() method call is True during the Hive authentication and Hive initialization process, you will need to implement your own code to close the game. For more details, please refer to the API example codes in the Hive initialization and Hive authentication documentation.

    The example codes below shows handling the app termination event when implementing the login function provided by Hive SDK authentication.
