PlayFab

The PlayFab Backend Provider gives you the option to interact with the Venly API using Azure Cloud Functions.
Make sure that the PlayFab SDK is installed inside your Unity project before switching to this provider! It is completely normal if you see multiple exceptions referring to PlayFab when switching to the PlayFab provider without the PlayFab SDK being installed. You can either install the PlayFab SDK or switch to another provider to fix these exceptions.
This provider uses Azure Cloud Functions to invoke Venly API calls through PlayFab. In order to use the PlayFab provider you'll have to configure multiple parts of the pipeline. So make sure you meet the following requirements before switching to the PlayFab provider:
  • Have the PlayFab SDK installed and configured inside your Unity project
  • Have an active PlayFab account
  • Have an active Azure account with permission to create an Azure Cloud Function
