I have developed Unity iOS project. I am using some 3ds max model files in it with some animation. When I create project through Unity, it does creating it automatically and installing it on the iPad. Now, I want to include this unity based functionality into my existing iOS project. How can i separate this unity project and integrate into my existing iOS Xcode project? I see lot of dependancies in Unity created project. I don't know the steps how can we separate this and integrate into any existing iOS Xcode project?
Please advise!
Here's how we did it using Unity 5.2.2f1, Xcode 7.1 and Swift 2.1.
The steps outlined in the link below seem like a lot, but honestly, aside from the Import/Cleanup of some of the unity files, it takes < 5 min once you know the steps.

Actually thats not THAT hard to do. But honestly i would recommend not to try to integrate the generated project into your own, but start with the generated project and integrate yours. Since usually your part of the project will have a lot less changes in the build settings and dependencies.
Once you done the integration, you can update from a new export by simply copying the Classes and Libraries Folder from the generated project to the integrated one.
I explain how we integrated Unity into our iOS App in more detail here: http://www.markuszancolo.at/2014/05/integrating-unity-into-a-native-ios-app

I'm trying to build iOS project from existing Unity project. When I select "Build & Run", Unity creates .xworkspace which contain 2 projects, Unity-iPhone.xcodeproject & Pods.xcodeproject. Here when I check in Products folder, new product is getting created "Unity-iPhone-New.app" rather than UnityFramework.framework. Also, UnityFramework target is missing.
I'm very much newbie to Unity & wanted to create xcframework. I was able to do it with my simple poc project but with this existing project, I'm not able to create xcframework due to above issue. This project has few dependencies. It uses ARKit & VR from Unity. I'm currently using Unity version 2018.4.x
Any help is appreciated!!
Looking at the online documentations of 2019.2 and 2019.3, we can conclude that UnityFramework.framework was added in Unity 2019.3.
I have searched a lot about this. But all the answers suggest that, it is possible to add new files into unity(xcode) project but vice versa is not possible. Actually, my target is to create sdk which will be used in a cordova plugin. What should I do?
To create an iOS sdk for unity you can create a library project in xCode and import the build to unity's Assets/Plugins/iOS folder. everything in here will automatically get included in xCode project generated by Unity.
And yes, it's very hard to include unity build in your own xcode project. There have been people begging for enlightenment to integrate Unity in another app but every time the threads are stranded beyond hope. Gibberish-gibberish... It's not possible.
It's extremely frustrating but it is possible. It requires a lot of changes to the build settings and compiler settings as well as customizing the launch of Unity components.
Best place to start is to import the Classes, Libraries, and Data folders (if applicable). Data as a folder reference and not a group. I'm also assuming your Unity project output is similar to what I've been given. We've modified our main.m file to be a C++ file (main.mm) and added in the Unity initialization code. We also updated the UnityAppController.mm file to not run startUnity on launch.
If this is still something you're working on please feel free to contact me on Twitter (#Ruprect) and I can help troubleshoot.
In this repo: https://github.com/jiulongw/swift-unity you can find how to integrate Unity Project into Xcode Swift Project.
For implementing our unity3d project into iOS, we need to manually select/tune a long list of tweaks in xcode build menu every time we build the project to test it (mainly to use appodeal framework).
Is there an easy way this task can be automated?
for example, in android builds, I reuse the same manifest file for the project and everything works just fine. Is there a similar way for xcode?
This is Andrew from Appodeal support. In the last release of Unity plugin (0.4.9) we have post build function which can help to resolve this issue.

Is there any way to find which SDK used to create the xcode project. Actually I have source code for the project but not aware which SDK used to create that project. The problem right now I am facing is using the latest SDK the xcode shows some reference error with an external library which is linked by the project. And these libraries are compiled at the time of the project created.
And I am thinking like, if I use the same SDK which is used to create the project at first time, the linking problem will not happen, and I can start working with the project. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks and regards,
Haris
I need your help where I want to export my game that is exported from Unity 3d now after making some changes in the xcode project, I want to export it again as Unity package that can be opened in Unity SDK.
Help and suggestions would be highly appreciated.
If you added some files to Xcode project than the simplest way will be to use Post Process pipeline. You can modify Xcode project with help of mod-pbxproj script. It is written in Python (yep, one more language to learn :). But it is quite simple and straightforward.
If you modified some Unity-generated Objective-C files then you are in trouble because no one can guarantee that Unity guys will not make some changes that will ruin your code. So you should be very careful there. But you still can automate this exciting process by using Makefiles. The main thing Unity does is generates Data and Library folders for Xcode. So you can create Xcode project, store it somewhere near Unity files and then write Makefile or some script that will do the following:
Export Unity project to Xcode by using Unity batch mode (you'll need Pro license to do it)
Copy Data and Library folders from exported project to your target project
Delete exported project
This all is not fun at all but it can solve your problems.
