This tool is invaluable for debugging, analytics, and ensuring the integrity of player preferences within your Unity projects.FeaturesCross-Platform Support: Compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS.Runtime Access: Retrieve all PlayerPrefs as a dictionary directly from the device for easy manipulation.Logging: Display all PlayerPrefs data in the Unity Console for debugging purposes.Interactive UI Viewer: Visual interface with search, sorting, and detailed entry inspection.Extensible Architecture: Easily extendable to support additional platforms or functionalities.UI Viewer FeaturesThe PlayerPrefsRuntime Tool includes a comprehensive visual UI viewer that provides:Real-time Search & FilteringLive search across key names, types, and valuesClear button to reset searchShows filtered count vs total count in headerSorting CapabilitiesToggle between "Sort: Name" and "Sort: Type" modesSecondary sorting (type within name, or name within type)Alphabetical ordering using ordinal comparisonVisual Design & ThemingDark theme with accent colors (blues, cyans)Alternating even/odd row colors for readabilityColor-coded type badges (Int, String, Float)Interactive rows with hover effectsSafe area support for mobile devicesInteractive FeaturesClick on any entry to view detailed information in a dialogClose button to hide the viewer and clean up resourcesSort button to toggle between sorting modesSearch field with placeholder textNotes & LimitationsWindows builds decode the PlayerPrefs registry entries Unity writes. Standard int, float, and string keys are returned; values stored in any other registry format are skipped and reported in a single aggregated warning so logs stay readable.iOS/macOS rely on a native JSON export. The helper normalizes numeric types back to Unity-friendly values (e.g. large long stay long, doubles collapse to float), so downstream code sees the usual PlayerPrefs types.Define PLAYER_PREFS_RUNTIME_TOOL only for targets where the native bridge or registry access exists; editor playback will safely fall back to empty results.The UI Viewer is automatically disabled in editor playback mode and will show an empty state with a message indicating that PlayerPrefs are not accessible in the editor.Platform Support DetailsPlatformImplementationUI ViewerMethodAndroidSharedPreferences via AndroidJavaObject✅RuntimeiOSNative P/Invoke to iOS key-value store✅RuntimemacOSNative P/Invoke to macOS preferences✅RuntimeWindowsRegistry access with binary parsing✅RuntimeEditor (Win)Registry access✅Editor onlyEditor (Mac)plist file parsing✅Editor onlyPlatform-Specific Features:Android:Accesses SharedPreferences using package nameHandles URI-encoded keys and valuesSupports standard int, float, string typesiOS/macOS:Native JSON export via P/InvokeRequires native plugins in Assets/Plugins/Handles binary data and complex typesWindows:Registry-based access at Software\{company}\{product}Custom binary parsing for Unity's PlayerPrefs formatSupports int, float, string, and binary dataData Type Handling:Automatic normalization across platformsType consistency: Ensures long→int, double→float conversionsBinary data support: Base64 encoding/decoding where neededNull safety: Graceful handling of missing or corrupted data1.
