Vibration for Android and iOS (Unity)

Introduction | Sample App | Installation | Code Overview

Introduction

I made this "vibration utility for Unity" to ease your app development.
When I developed the vibration with Unity at work, I spent a lot of time testing the vibration, and getting feedbacks.
Here are the sample codes and plugin(iOS) ready for you!
Feel free to use my script and sample app!

All of the scripts are written per official AOS/iOS documents.
Please don't forget to read the document before use.
Refer to the "Reference" section for details.

All of the Android predefined vibration types are made by trial and errors.
Tried my best to make AOS vibration as similar as iOS predefined vibration types.
Try out my sample app to customize your own vibration conveniently.

Any feedbacks are always welcome. Submit issues if you have any. I will reply to your issues ASAP. (Enhancement, bugs, advice, etc)
