Seeing someone posting about android native, I've decided to also ask some help around android native-plugin.
Could anyone who owns this plugin explain to me what the workflow is to save and load your data. (I managed to get my Easy Save 2 byte-data into 1 string, which i can supposedly save). But then when I actually get to the upload and download to/from the cloud part in my workflow everything seems useless.
The 'create snapshot'-action doesn't really do anything for me, and by opening the Saved Games UI with the 'AN_GameSavesEventsListener'-action and pushing save, there doesn't seem to be happening anything. Also in the original action there was no way to load/save your actual data (but I've added that part myself).
Lack of documentation is also very frustration with this plugin. >:(Because the names of the actions don't really tell me what they do.
I've looked into the load action which are also very unclear on what they actually do. But I think opening the native Saved Games UI and tapping the save should be enough. (again I added the load data part myself, which was absent)
Back to the main question: anyone could share a screenshot or something on how to get this to work?
PS: if someone has an easy way to implement the deprecated 'cloud save' that would also be an enormous help, as I had this new 'Saved Games'-ui bulsh*t. (Srry for my language ::) )

Stan doesnt post here much, I believe the username is Lacost?
Stans documentation about cloud save

Stans documentation about its playmaker actions regarding save

Though, to be fair it looks like its a googleplay issue, as they require the data to be byte encoded if you wish to use that feature.

Hopefully an asset on the asset store will have byte encoding to make that feature useful.
