Missing PlayGames.GetSnapshotClient() API in Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Games.V2

[pekspro]

I'm working with a game, and I have been able to use leaderboards. But I also would like to add support for saved games:

https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/savedgames

But as I understand it there is no binding for com.google.android.gms.games.snapshot. Can this be added? Please, please, please :-)

@pekspro

Thanks for the feedback.

Seems like this artifact is not in the official repo:

https://maven.google.com/web/index.html

I found it here:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.android.gms/play-services-games/23.1.0

I cannot guarantee that bindings will be done in some reasonable time.

I think the binding is in the official repo as a part of Play Services Games v2, in:

https://maven.google.com/web/index.html#com.google.android.gms:play-services-games-v2:19.0.0

At least, looking in the javadoc files there's documentation for it. Are the bindings automatically generated from this or do they need to be manually written? ( currently assessing the feasibility of adding some of this myself .. but still trying to figure out how things are put together in the Xamarin/.NET bindings )

How about:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Games.V2

??

@moljac thanks... sorry, this thread was mentioned in my bug #975 ( PlayersClient classes are missing in the xamarin gpg plugin which makes it impossible to track player changes ) and I noticed the binding that @pekspro needed was in the v2 API as you say.

@pekspro does the V2 API have all the bits you're looking for?

@stuartmilleruk, I have tried the latest version of Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Games.V2, and there is no PlayGames.GetSnapshotClient() that I think is needed :-(

As a side note, this nuget package works in .NET 7 projects, in .NET 8 compiling seems to fail :-(

@stuartmilleruk @pekspro

I did preliminary quick-n-dirty analysis and the problem is in few classes in GPS.Basementwhich were not surfaced, so it is not that trivial.

I will open PR in which I will try to fix this issues (not one class is missing).

Please open new issue for that.

PlayGames.GetSnapshotClient() that I think is needed

It was not surfaced because return type was not surfaced.
