Developer Session
Your developer session is a session associated with your project, on your account. This provides quick and easy access to Immerse platform features, during development, without needing to schedule a session via the platform frontend.
See the runtime authentication page for more information on joining your session from within the app.
Connecting to your developer session on device is made simple by the ‘Join on Device’ window (‘Immerse > Session > Join on Device’).
At the top of the window you can select the device to launch on. For launching on a Windows PC, this is where you provide the path to the executable. For Android devices, you can override the package and/or activity for the APK you wish to launch.
The ‘Authenticated User’ buttons allows you to launch the app using credentials generated for the user currently authenticated in the Unity Editor (yourself).
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Launch on Device | Generate a token and attempt the launch on the selected device. This method mimics the behaviour of the Immerse App |
| Generate PIN | Generate a PIN code that can be used on apps that implement a PIN authentication method |
| Open in Browser | Join the session using the last uploaded WebGL build |
The ‘Test Participant’ section provides the same methods of connection, but instead of using credentials generated for the current user, a temporary user is created. This is ideal for situations such as multiplayer testing.
Double clicking on the test participant will attempt to launch with these credentials. You may also right click the items in the list for more options.
