Installation

Steps to install the plugin

1. Open Package Manager from Unity Editor

2. Under My Assets category, Search for "Essential Kit"

3. Import the plugin into your project

4. If you don't have Newtonsoft's Json package installed in your project then follow below additional steps. Else, jump to step 5.

   1. Open manifest.json file in Packages folder

   2. Add below line in the dependencies block (any version ≥ 2.0.0 is fine)

      "com.unity.nuget.newtonsoft-json": "2.0.0"

5. Do a force resolve from top menu bar -> Assets -> External Dependency Manager -> Android -> Settings

6. Configure the features you want in Essential Kit Settings

If you already have an earlier version of the plugin installed, check the upgrade guide.

If you have an error related to iOS/XCode assemblies from External Dependency Manager, make sure you have iOS module installed in Unity Editor.
