Building the Project into a Server Executable

We do this by opening File > Build Settings, enabling the Server Build checkbox, and clicking Build. This action creates a non-graphical, server-only project version that we can upload to run on PlayFab’s virtual machines.

cannot find the Server Build checkbox on my mac, so use Dedicated Server instead.

TIPS

Allow client to start games

Before we dive into the Client script code, we need to enable an API setting for testing purposes. We click the gear icon on the Dashboard, go to Title settings and navigate to the API Features tab. Then we select the Allow client to start games checkbox and click Save. This flag is just for testing purposes and shouldn’t be enabled for publicly launched games.
