SDK manager¶
The Hive SDK Manager provides the ability to automatically upgrade the Hive SDK, offered in the form of a Unity plugin.
Therefore, you can download the desired SDK version directly through the SDK Manager in the Unity editor without the need to download the latest SDK from the developer site. Additionally, the SDK Manager extracts the changes for that SDK and automatically upgrades it.
Note
The Hive SDK Manager is only available in Unity.

Key features of SDK manager¶
Using the SDK Manager has the following advantages.
- When a new version of the Hive SDK is released, a notification will appear in Unity, allowing you to download the SDK immediately.
- The SDK manager will automatically upgrade after checking for changed or added files, eliminating the hassle of manually upgrading changed files and overwriting the entire file.
- Since integrity checks are performed during the upgrade, bugs caused by modifications to the original files can be detected in advance.
- You can receive notifications about new SDK releases or SDK-related alerts using pop-up announcements.
The SDK Manager provides various features such as upgrading the Hive SDK and integrity verification.
- SDK Upgrade: Upgrades the SDK to the version you selected from the SDK list. Alternatively, if the SDK is not installed, it will install it anew.
