Additional iOS Setup

User Interface

Right now it is not available to perform third login party using GPGS without writing any code. In order to perform third party login add AccountManagementFlow prefab to scene, create MonoBehaviour script with AccountManagementSignals as SerializeField, assign field using component from AccountManagementFlow instance and call LoginThirdParty method from AccountManagementSignals. Example class can look like below:

using Beamable.AccountManagement;
using Beamable.Common.Api.Auth;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private AccountManagementSignals _signals;

public void LoginToGPGS()
{
    _signals.LoginThirdParty(new ThirdPartyLoginArgument{ThirdParty = AuthThirdParty.GoogleGamesServices});
}
}

From here, the player can edit account details including account name and account avatar.

The player can switch accounts and sign in with various methods. See the Accounts feature page for more info.

When finished, the player can close the Account Management Flow window and return to the game-specific content.
