Metaplay SDK Release 37 – Unity IAP v5 and dashboard debugging views

Metaplay SDK Release 37 shipped on May 28, 2026. It adds Unity In-App Purchasing (IAP) v5 support, rewrites two LiveOps Dashboard debugging views, tightens database write validation, and redesigns the game config build window in the Unity editor.

Unity In-App Purchasing v5 support

Projects can now build against Unity's com.unity.purchasing 5.x package. The SDK auto-detects the installed version and selects the matching codepath, so existing v4 projects continue to work unchanged. v5 validates Apple receipts via StoreKit 2 / JWS.

The Unity IAP v5 upgrade guide covers the migration.

Rewritten Runtime Options and Raw Data views

Both dashboard views were rewritten with smoother navigation and integrated search, making it easier to debug runtime options settings and inspect raw entity data during live operations.

Stricter database writes

Game servers on the MySql backend now enforce strict per-session validation on every database write. Writes that would previously have been silently truncated or coerced – overlong strings, out-of-range numerics, zero dates – now raise errors at write time.

This mostly matters for projects with custom database tables, particularly on AWS Aurora MySQL, which historically shipped with permissive defaults.

Redesigned game config build window

The Unity editor window for building and deploying game configs has an improved layout, per-entry build progress, and reliable mid-build cancellation. Builds can also be triggered programmatically – including by AI assistants – through the new UnityGameConfigBuildHelper API.
