AWS Game Backend Framework Unreal SDK

The AWS Game Backend Framework Unreal SDK provides integrations to the custom identity component, managed refreshing of access tokens, helper methods for calling custom backend features, and samples for integrating with different game platforms.

NOTE: The Unreal sample is built with Unreal 5.2, but as it leverages very basic Unreal features, you should be able to build it on any more recent version of Unreal Engine 5. The solution will require Visual Studio 2022 (Windows) or XCode (MacOS) installed as well as the .NET 6 capability. You can upgrade the project to UE 5.3, which has been tested to work well.

SDK Overview

Initializing the SDK

Initializing and accessing the AWS Game SDK within Unreal (see the Unreal Integration Samples for sample code):

// Get the subsystems
UGameInstance* GameInstance = Cast<UGameInstance>(UGameplayStatics::GetGameInstance(GetWorld()));
UAWSGameSDK* AWSGameSDK =  GameInstance->GetSubsystem<UAWSGameSDK>();

// Init with the login endpoint defined in the Editor and a callback to handle errors for logging in and refresh
AWSGameSDK->Init(this->m_loginEndpoint);
AWSGameSDK->OnLoginFailure.AddUObject(this, &UBackendIntegrationTest::OnLoginOrRefreshErrorCallback);

SDK Public API

The public API for the SDK includes the following methods. Most of them will require you to provide a callback for results (see the Unreal Integration Samples for sample code):

void LoginAsNewGuestUser(FLoginComplete callback);
void LoginAsGuestUser(const FString& user_id, const FString& guest_secret, FLoginComplete callback);
void BackendGetRequest(const FString& url, const FString& resource, const TMap<FString, FString>& queryParameters, FRequestComplete callback);
void BackendPostRequest(const FString& url, const FString& resource, const FString& body, FRequestComplete callback);
void LoginWithAppleIdToken(const FString& appleAuthToken, FLoginComplete callback);
void LinkAppleIdToCurrentUser(const FString& appleAuthToken, FLoginComplete callback);
void LoginWithSteamToken(const FString& steamAuthToken, FLoginComplete callback);
void LinkSteamIdToCurrentUser(const FString& steamAuthToken, FLoginComplete callback);
void LoginWithGooglePlayToken(const FString& googlePlayAuthToken, FLoginComplete callback);
void LinkGooglePlayIdToCurrentUser(const FString& googlePlayAuthToken, FLoginComplete callback);
void LoginWithFacebookAccessToken(const FString& facebookAccessToken, const FString& facebookUserId, FLoginComplete callback);
void LinkFacebookIdToCurrentUser(const FString& facebookAccessToken, const FString& facebookUserId, FLoginComplete callback);
void LoginWithRefreshToken(const FString& refreshToken, FLoginComplete callback);
void RefreshAccessToken(FLoginComplete callback);

Adding the SDK to an existing project

To add the SDK to an existing project:

  1. Copy the folder AWSGameSDK to your Unreal C++ Project in Source\<YOUR_PROJECT>\
  2. Modify the file AWSGameSDK.h by replacing the class definition with reference you your project name: class UNREALSAMPLE_API UAWSGameSDK replaced with class <YOUR_PROJECT>_API UAWSGameSDK
  3. Add the code line PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Http", "Json", "JsonUtilities" }); to <YOUR_PROJECT>.Build.cs file found under Source\<YOUR_PROJECT>\.
  4. Integrate with the SDK from your custom code (see Unreal Integration Samples for example integrations)

Unreal Integration Samples

To test the integrations with Unreal, open the Unreal sample project (UnrealSample) in Unreal Engine 5 first.

NOTE: On Windows it will prompt you if you don't have Visual Studio installed yet. Once you have Visual Studio installed and set up for Unreal, you can open the project in the Unreal Editor and generate the project files from Tools -> Generate Visual Studio Project. On MacOS, you need to do right click -> Services -> Generate XCode Project on the uproject file in Finder. If you have problems generating the project files on MacOS, this forum post can help run the shell script correctly from your UE installation folder against the project in the terminal.

Guest Identity and Rest API test level

  • Open the level Samples/GuestIdentityAndRestApiTest/GuestIdentityAndRestApiTest

This is a simple test level that will login as a new guest user if a save file is not present, or login using the user_id and guest_secret found in the save file if available to login as an existing user. It will then use the logged in user to set player name and get player name in sequence to test the HTTP API integration

Configure the BackendIntegrationTest component of the BackendIntegrationTest Actor to set up API endpoints. Set M Login Endpoint value to the LoginEndpoint value found in the CustomIdentityComponentStack Outputs. Then set the M Sample Http Api Endpoint Url to the endpoint BackendEndpointUrl value found in the PythonServerlessHttpApiStack Outputs or the FargateSampleNodeJsServiceServiceURL found in the NodeJsFargateApiStack Outputs. Both backend sample integrations support the same functionality to validate tokens and set and get player data.

Press play to test the integration. You'll see the login and backend call activity in the Output Log as well as key items on on screen log as well.

Sign in with Apple test level

  • Open the level Samples/AppleIdLoginTest/TestLevel

This is a simple test level that will login a guest user, upgrade the guest user to authenticated by linking an Apple ID to it, and then finally test logging in directly with Apple ID. It doesn't call any custom backend functionalities.

To use this sample, you will need a valid Apple ID sign in JWT token. This requires you to sign up as an Apple Developer, create an App Identifier and using a plugin or native SDK in XCode to set up the signing in process. This framework does not include any platform specific identity SDKs.

Configure the AppleIdLoginTest component of the BackendIntegrationTest Actor to set up the login API endpoint. Set M Login Endpoint value to the LoginEndpoint value found in the CustomIdentityComponentStack Outputs.

You will need to pass a valid Apple ID JWT token to the AWSGameSDK->LinkAppleIdToCurrentUser("eyYourToken", onLinkAppleIdCallback); and AWSGameSDK->LoginWithAppleIdToken("eyYourToken", onAppleIdLoginCallback); found in UnrealSample/Source/UnrealSample/Samples/AppleIdLoginTest/AppleIdLoginTest.cpp.

Steam test level

  • Open the level Samples/SteamLoginTest/SteamLoginTest

This is a simple test level that will login a guest user, upgrade the guest user to authenticated by linking a Steam ID to it, and then finally test logging in directly with Steam. It doesn't call any custom backend functionalities.

To use this sample, you will need a valid Steam ID token. This requires you to sign up as a Steam Developer, create an App and the Steam Online Subsystem to integrate with Steam. You'll then use either GetAuthTicketForWebApi (new) or GetAuthSessionTicket (old) to retrieve a ticket to validate with the identity component API.

Configure the SteamLoginTest component of the SteamLoginTest Actor to set up the login API endpoint. Set M Login Endpoint value to the LoginEndpoint value found in the CustomIdentityComponentStack Outputs.

You will need to pass a valid Steam token to the AWSGameSDK->LinkSteamIdToCurrentUser("eyYourToken", onLinkSteamIdCallback); and AWSGameSDK->LoginWithSteamToken("eyYourToken", onSteamLoginCallback); found in UnrealSample/Source/UnrealSample/Samples/SteamLoginTest/SteamLoginTest.cpp.

Google Play level

  • Open the level Samples/GooglePlayLoginTest/GooglePlayLoginTest

This is a simple test level that will login a guest user, and upgrade the guest user to authenticated by linking a Google Play ID to it.

To use this sample, you will need a valid Google Play token retrieved with the RequestServerSideAccess Google Play SDK v2 API. This requires you to sign up as a Google Play Developer, creating and configuring an app. At the time of writing, Google Play v2 SDK was not available for C++. The documentation states you can reach out to Google if interested in v2. Another option is to work around to integrate with the native Java SDK. There are some forum discussions on running Android Java code with Unreal.

Configure the GooglePlayLoginTest component of the GooglePlayLoginTest Actor to set up the login API endpoint. Set M Login Endpoint value to the LoginEndpoint value found in the CustomIdentityComponentStack Outputs.

You will need to pass a valid Google Play token to the AWSGameSDK->LinkGooglePlayIdToCurrentUser("YOURTOKEN", onLinkGooglePlayIdCallback) found in UnrealSample/Source/UnrealSample/Samples/GooglePlayLoginTest/GooglePlayLoginTest.cpp.

Facebook Test Level

  • Open the level Samples/FacebookLoginTest/FacebookLoginTest

This is a simple test level that will login a guest user, upgrade the guest user to authenticated by linking a Facebook ID to it, and then finally test logging in directly with Facebook. It doesn't call any custom backend functionalities.

To use this sample, you will need a valid Facebook access token and user ID. This requires you to sign up as a Facebook Developer, create an App and integrate with the Facebook API:s from Unreal. Currently, we don't have any specific recommendations on how to integrate with Facebook, but there are some community options.

Configure the FacebookLoginTest component of the FacebookLoginTest Actor to set up the login API endpoint. Set M Login Endpoint value to the LoginEndpoint value found in the CustomIdentityComponentStack Outputs.

You will need to pass a valid Facebook token to the AWSGameSDK->LinkFacebookIdToCurrentUser("tokenHere", "userIDHere", onLinkFacebookIdCallback); and AWSGameSDK->LoginWithFacebookAccessToken("tokenHere", "userIdHere", onFacebookLoginCallback); found in UnrealSample/Source/UnrealSample/Samples/FacebookLoginTest/FacebookLoginTest.cpp.
