How do I add my privacy policy link to the Windows Settings charm with Unity?

Question

Windows Store rule 4.1.1 mandate that:

You must provide access to your privacy policy in the Description page of your app, as well as in the app’s settings as displayed in the Windows Settings charm.

The Description page is easy, since when you setup your app in the store there's a field where you can enter the URL.

However I'm a bit clueless about how to add this entry in the Windows Setting charm in a Unity project. I've found this answer but that assumes you are in full control and knowledge of your Windows Store app, while I'm just exporting from Unity, so I've no clue on where I would put that code.

So, how do I do that?

Answer 1

The plugin prime31/MetroEssentials has the function registerSettingsCommand, which allows you to do just that.

// Registers a settings item with an associated message that will be displaed in a popup when clicked
public static void registerSettingsCommand( string title, string message )

// Registers a settings item with an action. When the settings item is clicked the action will be called.
public static void registerSettingsCommand( string title, Action onActivated )

Answer 2

Unity is exporting the game as JS or C#.

So have a look to these samples http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Windows-8-Modern-Style-App-Samples. In these samples, there are a few Setting Charm screnios that you can use in your application.

But remember that, you should add setting charm after export the game.
