Installing Xcode and Unity

Hi All,
Some of you deserve a Bravery badge for deciding to install Unity and Xcode on your own computers. A couple of words of caution:
1. The version of Unity you will be installing (4.0) only works with Xcode 4.4 or higher, you should be using 4.5+. This unfortunately only works on OS X 10.7 or higher so if you aren’t keen on upgrading to 10.7 (Lion) then I recommend you come use the computer in the lab.
2. If you want to test the vuforia video playback you will need to test it on a device. You need to sign on to the free Apple developer account and then let me know you want to be a developer and I’ll walk you through the process (just be sure you are already signed up for the free account and can log in to it).
3. If you have a choice, DON’T upgrade your iOS device to 6.1 yet, I’d wait for a bit since it always takes a while for Unity to keep up with the next major version. The computer in the lab works with 6 but not 6.1 yet.

Sorry this wasn’t posted sooner, I assumed anyone trying to develop on their own machines would come see me first but if you do, good luck! (be sure to back up before any upgrades!) :)

    Hi Andrew,
    Where can we find the AR_custom_Scripts to replace the Default Trackable Handler?
    Thanks

    Download the Unity_demo.unitypackage link and import it to Unity (you can just double click it and it will load). When it asks which assets you want to import, you can click “none” and then just select the following to import:
    TrackableEventHandlerWithAudio
    TrackableEventHandlerVideo
    VideoPlaybackBehaviour (this will replace the one you’ve already impoted with the Vuforia Playback example).

    Let me know if you have any problems. And yes, there’s a computer you can use here.
