This process sets and initializes the app information used by the SDK.

It must be called before any other API when the game starts.

When a game is started, it must call the Start function to notify the Kakao Game SDK that it has been started.

UI functions such as platform announcements, update news, and term agreements are performed when the Start function of the Kakao Game SDK is called.

If there exists a prior user login record, the automatic login function is also performed, and the result is sent through the callback function inputted in the game when the method is called.

Therefore, the game can use the results to decide whether to authenticate the user first or whether to resume a previous game.

If the game is moved to the background, the game must call the Pause API to notify the Kakao Game SDK that it has become inactive.

When the Pause API is called, the Kakao Game SDK disconnects the connected session and stops periodically sending heartbeats to prevent battery consumption.

If the game is moved back to the foreground from the background, it must call the Resume API to notify the Kakao Game SDK that it has become active.

The Kakao Game SDK checks whether the authentication has expired when the Resume method is called and restores the session depending on the check. The result is then sent through the callback function inputted in the game when the method is called.

The game can use the results to decide whether to authenticate the user again or whether to resume a previous game.

This feature is supported in the Windows environment.

If you do not use the default login UI provided by the SDK and instead implement your own login UI, the SDK offers a feature to set up auto login.

• If you do not configure auto login, the SDK will not create a file for automatic login by default.

• The file for auto login is created and stored in an encrypted format in the folder "C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\.kakaogames\[AppdID]" under the name ".access". This is because multiple users can exist on a single PC."

• When a game is uninstalled and then reinstalled, if the auto login file remains, the SDK checks whether an encrypted ".access" file exists in the location of the Windows SDK file (KakaoGame.dll). If the file is valid, the SDK loads the file containing the auto login information and performs the auto login.

• If the auto login files are corrupted, the SDK will delete them.

• If the auto login file exists and the user logs out or withdraws, the auto login file will be deleted.
