Unity 3D is a game engine that specializes in allowing developers to produce games for almost all gaming platforms. For iOS games, we must first prepare the engine so that it can publish builds that Apple will approve of. We will overcome some technical issues, such as how to get the users touch input to control the game from an Apple device, how to unlock achievements that show up in Apple's Game Center, and how to show advertisements in the game.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
Downloading and installing Unity 5
Using the Unity Asset Store to download and install the iOS SDK plugin
Creating and logging in to iTunes Connect
Creating the game app in iTunes Connect
Setting up Game Center achievements and leaderboards
Enabling iAds for the game
