Special considerations for Unity support
When using the AWS SDK for .NET and .NET Standard 2.0
-
You need to obtain the AWS SDK for .NET assemblies and apply them to your project. For information about how to do this, see Download and extract ZIP files in the topic Obtaining AWSSDK assemblies.
-
You need to include the following DLLs in your Unity project alongside the DLLs for AWSSDK.Core and the other AWS services you're using. Starting with version 3.5.109 of the AWS SDK for .NET, the .NET Standard ZIP file contains these additional DLLs.
-
If you're using IL2CPP
to build your Unity project, you must add a link.xmlfile to your Asset folder to prevent code stripping. Thelink.xmlfile must list all of the AWSSDK assemblies you are using, and each must include thepreserve="all"attribute. The following snippet shows an example of this file.<linker> <assembly fullname="AWSSDK.Core" preserve="all"/> <assembly fullname="AWSSDK.DynamoDBv2" preserve="all"/> <assembly fullname="AWSSDK.Lambda" preserve="all"/> </linker>
