    Hello,

    I am trying to develop an UWP App which combines Unity for 3D rendering and uses XAML for the UI.

    I found the "Atmosphere"-example on https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/09/15/unity-interop-and-app-extensibility-app-dev-on-xbox-series which is exactly what I need, and I also managed to get it up and running on my machine.

    Now I want to modify the example, and here comes the problem: 

    I don’t know how the workflow between the Unity and the UWP part should be.

    When I make modifications in the Unity Scrips (e.g. add a static function which should be called by the UWP part) and build the Unity .sln, I cannot access the function from the UWP part. It seems like the the UWP Project references an old version of Assembly-CSharp.dll. I tried to re-reference to the newly build files from the Unity project, but VS2017 states that referencing this files is not allowed without further explaination. 

    Does anyone have experience in building UWP Apps which are basically a Unity-App with a XAML-Layer on top?
    Any tipps on how to set up a project for that?

    Cheers, Silvana

    Hi  SilvanaBanana,

    I suggest you can ask your question on unity forum.

    Besides, you can see this video

    https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting/taking-unity-games-universal-windows-platform 

    and you need to first compile your unity app and output a UWP package then you can edit by insert UWP Apis.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Best Regards,

    Yong Lu
