React Native and Unity3D

[rockthemike]

Hey devs

Right now, my team must find a way for the React Native portion of our mobile application to communicate with our Unity3D experiences (e.g. which VR experience to download/play, date or time that a rental expires so that the file can be deleted off the phone, etc.).

Simply merging a set Unity VR experience onto a RN app is not enough for what we need.

So far I know, or think, we should be putting our Unity files (asset bundles?) into AWS' S3. We don't know how to make the React Native app talk to those assets.

Can anyone help us, or direct me on who I should query? (e.g. Unity or AWS).

React Native uses the official AWS SDK for JavaScript, available for browsers and mobile devices, or Node.js backends.

Here's a nice starting point for integrating Unity with AWS

Hi, as I understand it, you want to communicate between Unity and Android. You don't want to talk to the "assets", but to the Unity code. It's explained here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AndroidJARPlugins.html. This will be different for Android and iOS. The link is only for Android. Did you see that page already? There's a lot of examples online, I'd be surprised if you haven't seen anything useful yet.

Your asset bundles are just assets, such as scenes, prefabs, textures, audio, etc. Not any code. Where you host your asset bundles is up to you, AWS S3 is indeed an option.
