Setting up perforce server on Windows and allows connections from other local machines

Download p4server.exe for windows and install it.

Restart the computer after you've installed it.
Since it will install as windows service, you don't have to start the service and you're now ready to connect using p4v from local machine.

But there will be a problem when you're trying to connect from another service since the perforce service is running on localhost:1666 so it only accept local connection only.

You need to bind to 0.0.0.0:1666 but it will be quite hard and have a risk to change default perforce config files..

What you can do is you can modify the host file in other remote machines to connect to the server computer.
In windows, hosts file is located at Windows/etc/driver folder and on Mac it's located at
sudo nano /etc/hosts

add the following line to the host file
[your server machine local ip address] perforce

Now in the p4v client of the remote machines, you will be able to connect using perforce:1666

Note : Don't forget to turn off your firewall connection or allow perforce server app to accept incoming connections from remote machines

ENJOY IT :)

Resolving the app install conflicts for firebase notifications!

Most of the time when you cloned a Unity project which has firebase notification integrated, No matter what bundle ID you changed for the newly cloned project, you'll always received resolve conflicts error. Mainly because whenever you import firebase SDK and make jar resolve, google play services repackage some of the .aar files with the old bundle ID unless you make the force resolve again! The first options would be 1 - Delete all the .aar files in the Plugins->Android folder 2 - Go to Assets->PlayService resolver->Android->Force resolve and the required .aar files will be rebuilt using the new bundle ID But for some reason if you don't want to use force resolve options, you can  manually modify some of the aar file and rebuild the apk again. 1 - Look for com.google.firebase.firebase-common-12.0.1.aar and com.google.firebase.firebase-iid-12.0.1.aar file inside Android plugins folder 2 - change .aar file to .zip file and extract them to seperate...
