Unity command line arguments for android and iOS

Question

Please pardon my ignorance, relatively new to working with Unity3D. I am working on automating Unity3d builds from the command line.

I am looking for command line arguments to build apk & xcode project. Unity's documentation does mention arguments to build a standalone Mac OSX player (-buildOSXPlayer) and a standalone Windows player (-buildWindowsPlayer) but not for android and iOS.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Start with Unity's own documentation for command line builds for iOS and android.

For example, put this script in your Assets/Editor folder:

// C# example
using UnityEditor;
class Autobuilder
{
     [MenuItem ("File/AutoBuilder/iOS")]
     static void PerformBuild ()
     {
         string[] scenes = { "Assets/MyScene.unity" };

         string buildPath = "../../../Build/iOS";

         // Create build folder if not yet exists
         Directory.CreateDirectory(buildPath);

         BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer(scenes, buildPath, BuildTarget.iOS, BuildOptions.Development);
     }
}

You can actually run this script in the Unity application by going to File -> Autobuilder -> iOS

To run on command line, it looks something like this:

/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity -quit -batchmode -executeMethod Autobuilder.PerformBuild -email [email protected] -password myPassword

Of course, you're going to want to check the debug log for any errors:

Mac OS X ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Editor.log
Windows XP C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data_\Unity\Editor\Editor.log
Windows Vista/7 C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Unity\Editor\Editor.log
