• XR: Fix order of single-pass instancing shader variables for gles3 (1187259)

• XR: Update XR Plug-in Management to 3.2.12.

API Changes

• iOS: Deprecated: Deprecated

  1. UnityEngine.iOS.LocalNotification

  2. UnityEngine.iOS.RemoteNotification

  3. UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices

• iOS: Following Apple’s obsoletion of GKPlayer.playerID, IUserProfile.id now returns GKPlayer.teamPlayerID for devices on >= iOS 12.4 (Apple’s recommended replacement) , and GKPlayer.playerID for devices below that (that won’t have teamPlayerID and gamePlayerID available until they upgrade). This will impact any data that is stored using the old ID. We are working on exposing the obsolete GKPlayer.playerID to ease migration.

Changes

• Timeline: Updated Timeline package to version 1.2.15

Improvements

• Android: Improve performance of constant buffer memory access on Adreno devices when using Vulkan (1248891)

System Requirements

For development

OS: Windows 7 SP1+, 8, 10, 64-bit versions only; macOS 10.12+. (Server versions of Windows & OS X are not tested.)

CPU: SSE2 instruction set support.

GPU: Graphics card with DX10 (shader model 4.0) capabilities.

The rest mostly depends on the complexity of your projects.

Additional platform development requirements:

• iOS: Mac computer running minimum macOS 10.12.6 and Xcode 9.4 or higher.

• Android: Android SDK and Java Development Kit (JDK); IL2CPP scripting backend requires Android NDK.

• Universal Windows Platform: Windows 10 (64-bit), Visual Studio 2015 with C++ Tools component or later and Windows 10 SDK

For running Unity games

Generally content developed with Unity can run pretty much everywhere. How well it runs is dependent on the complexity of your project. More detailed requirements:
