Package installation
npm install @wowmaking/react-native-unity
Unity project setup
Move your Unity project to
unity
folder at RN project rootAdd Newtonsoft Json Unity Package to Unity project
Add the following line at your
[rn_project_root]/unity/Packages/manifest.json
:{ ... "com.wowmaking.react-native-unity": "file:../../node_modules/@wowmaking/react-native-unity/unity" }
To receive commands from JavaScript create a new game object or use existing one. Commands receiver object should implement
IRNCommandsReceiver
interface:using Wowmaking.RNU; public class RNCommandsReceiver : MonoBehaviour, IRNCommandsReceiver { ... }
Set your object as commands receiver to
RNBridge
onAwake
:using Wowmaking.RNU; public class RNCommandsReceiver : MonoBehaviour, IRNCommandsReceiver { private void Awake() { RNBridge.RegisterCommandsReceiver(this); } }
Implement
IRNCommandsReceiver
interface by addingHandleCommand
method:using Wowmaking.RNU; public class RNCommandsReceiver : MonoBehaviour, IRNCommandsReceiver { private void Awake() { RNBridge.RegisterCommandsReceiver(this); } public void HandleCommand(RNCommand command) { switch (command.name) { command.Resolve(new {}); // command.Reject(new {}); } } }
:warning: Important: Call
Resolve
orReject
method of receivedRNCommand
instance to remove it from JavaScript thread
iOS project setup
Run
pod install
Export Unity app for iOS using Unity Editor menu options:
ReactNative → Export iOS (Device)
- exports to[rn_project_root]/unity/builds/ios_device
ReactNative → Export iOS (Simulator)
- exports to[rn_project_root]/unity/builds/ios_simulator
Rename the folder with required sdk (
ios_device
orios_simulator
) toios
Add
Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj
to your RN project workspace in Xcode and add UnityFramework.framework (see step 3 and step 4) of Integrating Unity as a library into standard iOS app guideAdd the following lines to your project
main.m
file (located at same folder withAppDelegate
)#import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import <RNUnity/RNUnity.h> // ← Add this line #import "AppDelegate.h" int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { @autoreleasepool { [RNUnity setArgc:argc]; // ← Add this line [RNUnity setArgv:argv]; // ← Add this line return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class])); } }
Add the following lines to
AppDelegate.m
file#import "AppDelegate.h" #import <React/RCTBridge.h> #import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h> #import <React/RCTRootView.h> #import <RNUnity/RNUnity.h> // ← Add this line @implementation AppDelegate - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { [RNUnity launchWithOptions:launchOptions]; // ← Add this line before React root view creation RCTBridge *bridge = [[RCTBridge alloc] initWithDelegate:self launchOptions:launchOptions]; ... } // ↓ Add these lines - (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application { [[[RNUnity ufw] appController] applicationWillResignActive: application]; } - (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application { [[[RNUnity ufw] appController] applicationDidEnterBackground: application]; } - (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application { [[[RNUnity ufw] appController] applicationWillEnterForeground: application]; } - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application { [[[RNUnity ufw] appController] applicationDidBecomeActive: application]; } - (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application { [[[RNUnity ufw] appController] applicationWillTerminate: application]; } // ↑ Add these lines @end
Make React root view background color transparent in
AppDelegate.m
file:rootView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:1.0f green:1.0f blue:1.0f alpha:0];
For RN v0.71+ this line is located in
[rn_project_root]/node_modules/react-native/Libraries/AppDelegate/RCTAppDelegate.mm
, so use patch-package to modify it
Android project setup
Export Unity app for Android using Unity Editor menu option:
ReactNative → Export Android
- exports to[rn_project_root]/unity/builds/android
Configure your project to use only
armeabi-v7a
andarm64-v8a
architectures in[rn_project_root]/android/gradle.properties
:reactNativeArchitectures=armeabi-v7a,arm64-v8a
For older RN versions add ndk section to
[rn_project_root]/android/app/build.gradle
:defaultConfig { ... ndk { abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "arm64-v8a" } }
Append the following lines to
[rn_project_root]/android/settings.gradle
:include ':unityLibrary' project(':unityLibrary').projectDir=new File('..\\unity\\builds\\android\\unityLibrary')
Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in
[rn_project_root]/android/app/build.gradle
:implementation project(':unityLibrary') implementation files("${project(':unityLibrary').projectDir}/libs/unity-classes.jar")
Change parent activity in
MainActivity.java
fromReactActivity
toUnityReactActivity
import com.wowmaking.rnunity.UnityReactActivity; public class MainActivity extends UnityReactActivity { ... }
If you have any troubles while configuring Android project, please refer to Integrating Unity as a library into standard Android app guide

{/* UnityResponderView provides all touch events to Unity */}
<UnityResponderView />
<Touchable onPress={handlePress}>Press me!</Touchable>
</View>
);
};
