I am trying to send an email from inside unity on smartphones using the SmtpClient class. I have achieved this quite simple task on iOS but the exact same code does not work on android. Here's the code:
private IEnumerator sendAutoMail (string textBody,string title)
{
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress(sender);
mail.To.Add(receiver);
mail.Subject = "R4UL " + title;
mail.Body = textBody;
Debug.Log("Connecting to SMTP server");
SmtpClient smtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
smtpServer.Port = 587;
smtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(sender, password) as ICredentialsByHost;
smtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate(object s, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
return true;
};
Debug.Log("Sending message");
smtpServer.Send(mail);
yield return null;
}
Where sender, password and receiver are my Gmail account, my Gmail password and the person I wish to email respectively.
So this works perfectly on iOS but on android throws the following error:
I/Unity ( 6256): SocketException: No such host is known I/Unity ( 6256): at System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName (System.String hostName) [0 x00000] in :0 I/Unity ( 6256): at System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry (System.String hostNameOrAdd ress) [0x00000] in :0 I/Unity ( 6256): at System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses (System.String hostNameO rAddress) [0x00000] in :0 I/Unity ( 6256): at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient.Connect (System.String host name, Int32 port) [0x00000] in :0 I/Unity ( 6256): at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor (System.String hostna me, Int32 port) [0x00000] in :0 I/Unity ( 6256): at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.SendInternal (System.Net.Mail .MailMessage message) [0x00000] in :0 I/Unity ( 6256): at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send (System.Net.Mail.MailMes sage message) [0x00000] in :0 I/Unity ( 6256): Rethrow as SmtpException: Message could not be sent.

I have managed to pintpoint the error location at the line: smtpServer.Send(mail);
Any ideas as to what might be causing this issue? I have both android and iOS pro versions.
Cheers
