Android FAQ
« on: August 24, 2013, 11:27:44 AM »
Unity does not remove unused scripts when making a build. This means unused actions will be in the build. We're working on our own tool to automatically remove unused actions, but in the meantime, here are some tips:
  • If you don't use Unity Networking you can safely delete the PlayMaker/Actions/Networking folder.
  • If you don't want your app to ask for GPS permissions, remove the location actions: GetLocationInfo, StartLocationServicesUpdate, StopLocationServicesUpdate.
  • If you don't want your app to ask for vibration permissions, remove the Vibrate action.

Old thread, but I was googling for WAKE_LOCK issue and got to this page multiple time. I think I found a solution so I registered to these forums just to post this info :)

These two are related:
permission: Android.permission.WAKE_LOCK
try delete file: /PlayMaker/Actions/DevicePlayFullScreenMovie.Cs

(using Unity 5.0.4 and Playmaker 1.7.8)

edit: also sorry if it's against the rules to post to pinned threads or something. I'm such a newb  ;D

I made a note of the tips, however, I noticed that in 2013 you were working on a tool to remove unused scripts. Has this tool been developed? If that exists then I won't try to do this manually for my builds. Thanks.

Hi,

 I am not aware of any progress on this right now. Currently, you'll need to do this manually unfortunatly.

 Bye,

Hi,

 Unity 4 is likely deprecated with Android. Have you tried with the latest Unity version and lasted PlayMaker version?

 Bye,

 Jean

Hi, any update on this tool?
A helpful alternative would be an option perhaps in Playmaker/Tools:
"Delete All Location Actions", "Delete All Networking Actions" etc.
Specifically for groups of actions that cause permission issues / requests on iOS and Android.
