Custom buttons in rich push notifications

To ensure custom buttons in rich push notifications work correctly, use the SwrveUnityApplication as your main Unity Android application by adding it to Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml as follows (for more information about AndroidManifest.xml on Unity, see the Unity documentation for Android Manifest):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/app_icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/UnityThemeSelector" android:debuggable="true" android:isGame="true" android:banner="@drawable/app_banner" android:name="com.swrve.sdk.SwrveUnityApplication">
    </application>
</manifest>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</application>

</manifest>

Alternatively, you can call the following method from your custom Application class inside the onCreate method:

SwrveUnityCommon.onCreate(this);

1	SwrveUnityCommon.onCreate(this);

Version 5.1.1

No code changes are required to upgrade to Swrve Unity SDK v5.1.1. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 5.1, see the Unity SDK 5.0+ Upgrade Guide.

Rich Push notifications for iOS

Ensure that your are setting an App Group Identifier to the key iOSAppGroupIdentifier to your postprocess.json.

Custom Android Manifest

Create or modify your AndroidManifest.xml file so the SDK native code is called on Application launch by setting a custom Application class:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <application android:name="com.swrve.sdk.SwrveUnityApplication">
  </application>
</manifest>
