Shortcuts Manager for Android & iOS

Put your store, daily reward and events one long-press away from the home screen, on Android and iOS.

Shortcuts Manager adds app shortcuts to your Unity game: the menu the player gets by long-pressing your app icon. Each shortcut opens your game, and the ShortcutLaunched event tells your code which one was tapped, so you can open the right screen straight away. On Android a shortcut can also open a web page, write an email or run any Intent you build, and the player can pin shortcuts to the home screen.

Setup is zero: no manifest edits, no Gradle templates, no dependency resolver, no Info.plist edits. In the Editor the shortcuts are simulated, so your menus and the demo work without a device.

SHORTCUTS

• Add, replace, update and remove dynamic shortcuts by id

• Labels, rank and icons: drawable resources or PNG files on Android, SF Symbols on iOS

• A full menu makes room by rank instead of failing

• ShortcutLaunched event and LaunchShortcutId: which shortcut opened or resumed the game

• Android: pin shortcuts to the home screen, enable / disable them, report usage to the launcher

• Android: shortcuts that run your own Intent (web page, email, the game with extras)
