Do I need Unity Pro for Android Multiplayer?

Question

Does the AppWarp SDK for Unity require me to have Unity Pro if I want to build for Android? I was using Smartfox server before but their SDK only works on Unity Pro.

@starabc - You don't require Unity Pro. AppWarp Unity SDK has assets which you can use to build and target for Android and iOS from Unity Free version.

This is done via the use of Native Plugins. Since Unity restricts the use of .Net sockets on Android/iOS targets - we have built native (C language) plugins to do the socket communications bypassing .Net Sockets :)

Here is a link to a blog post that explains the steps with a sample
