  1. Create an account for Player Network Console.
  2. Create a new project for your game, or join an existing one.
  3. Download the SDK.
  4. Integrate the SDK.
  5. Add VK as an authentication method for your project on Player Network Console.

Step 1: Configure the SDK for VK login

If authorized by VK, add URL Schemes to the App.

Xcode 5:

  1. Open the App settings.
  2. Select info/URLTypes.
  3. Set Identifier and URL Schemes to vk+APP_ID. Image: VK iOS Identifiers

Xcode 4:

  1. Open info.plist.
  2. Add a line for URL Types.
  3. Set URL identifier to vk+APP_ID. Image: VK iOS URL Identifiers

Open the project's INTLConfig.ini:

[VK Channel Configuration]
VK_APP_ID = {INTL_VK_APP_ID}

Replace {INTL_VK_APP_ID} with the registered VK App ID.

Step 2: Add VK login

  1. Add an observer to handle authentication callbacks.

    // Add callbacks
    public void AddAuthObserver()
    {
    INTLAPI.AddAuthResultObserver(OnAuthResultEvent);
    }

    // Remove callbacks
    public void RemoveAuthObserver()
    {
    INTLAPI.RemoveAuthResultObserver(OnAuthResultEvent);
    }

    // Process the INTLAuthResult callback
    public void OnAuthResultEvent(INTLAuthResult ret)
    {
    Debug.Log($"MethodID: {ret.MethodId}");

    string methodTag = "";
    if (authRet.MethodId == (int)INTLMethodID.INTL_AUTH_LOGIN)
    {
    methodTag = "Login";
    }
    else if (authRet.MethodId == (int)INTLMethodID.INTL_AUTH_BIND)
    {
    methodTag = "Bind";
    }
    else if (authRet.MethodId == (int)INTLMethodID.INTL_AUTH_AUTOLOGIN)
    {
    methodTag = "AutoLogin";
    }
    else if (authRet.MethodId == (int)INTLMethodID.INTL_AUTH_QUERY_USER_INFO)
    {
    methodTag = "QueryUserInfo";
    }
    else if (authRet.MethodId == (int)INTLMethodID.INTL_AUTH_GET_AUTH_RESULT)
    {
    methodTag = "GetAuthResult";
    }
    }
  2. Call the AutoLogin method.

    INTLAPI.AutoLogin();
  3. Call the Login method to ask for user input if auto-login fails.

    INTLAPI.Login(INTLChannel.VK); 
  4. Sync client authentication state with the game's backend and wait for the final authentication result.

Step 3: Test the login function

Search for the keyword "AuthResult" in the Player Network SDK logs to verify if the correct channel name and OpenID are returned. If they are, it indicates a successful configuration and the login function has been added successfully.
