Networking with Windows Phone 8
We have just upgraded to Unity 4.2 and tried to build one of our projects for Windows Phone 8. However, we get a compilation error saying that TcpClient is not supported in this framework.
We have checked that TcpClient IS supported in .Net 4.5, but it is not supported in Metro apps.
So my question is: Are we doing something wrong? Maybe we haven't properly configured the Windows phone 8 SDK? Or maybe Unity is not properly supporting it yet?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Is there anyone with the same problem? Please, let us know even if you don't know the answer.
There is a way if you know how to use this header
#if NETFX_CORE
using Windows.Networking.Proximity;
using Windows.Networking.Sockets;
using Windows.System.UserProfile;
#endif
"Things that are not yet supported: Network classes, WWW is supported though"
We are only using WWW. However we are using it with POST data and Headers. $$anonymous$$aybe is it that, which is not supported?
I would also like Networking for Windows Store please Unity!!! :) :)

Since we have been forgotten I am working on a networking library that works cross platform, mainly with the drive to making it work on Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1

I don't know if I should say that here but Windows 8 Store and Phone is a bit messy. The APIs for TCP in those two platforms are very different between each other and different from what Unity offers.
We ended up implementing our own socket class for PUN. This is then implemented in three ways: Unity, Windows Phone and Windows Store. Each variant is included in a assembly file (dll) and put into Unity's special Plugins (sub)folders. The trick is: We use one class only and when Unity generates the Phone or Store projects, it replaces the dll it uses with the one specific for the platform. It looks the same but works different inside.
A new networking solution from Unity is coming which will support all platforms. If you don't need the authoritative in-Unity hosting, you can also try PUN Free which is similar to the older Unity Networking and cross platform.
