    Trying to build my game using the cloud build yields the following exception:

    1331: [Unity] Initializing Unity.PackageManager (PackageManager) v2017.2.0 for Unity v2017.2.0f3

    Build target platform: Android
    Build engine version:
    2017.2.0f3 (46dda1414e51)

    This error has just showed up with the switch to 2017.2. I have to mention however, that with previous versions there have been other errors (manifest merge problems).

    Any solution for the above? Is it a known issue? Building locally on my PC works fine btw.

    Regards

    Same problem here, Same Unity version.

    39: [Unity] Initialize engine version: 2017.2.0f3 (46dda1414e51)
    40: [Unity] System.SystemException: Error running gmcs: Cannot find the specified file
    41: [Unity] System.SystemException: Error running gmcs: Cannot find the specified file

    Edit:
    I've tried to cloud-build another project without IAP and the build succeeded even when the files were missing.

    This happened when I integrated IAP.

    UPDATE:
    I was able to get a successful build by doing this:
    1. From cloud build menu, select config
    2. Select Edit Basic Info
    3. Set Cache Library: None
    4. In iOS Production target, edit basic info
    5. Set Always Use Latest 2017.1 (previously set to Always Use Latest 2017.X)

    I tried the above but still got errors.

    From my log I assume IAP causes problems, I also get errors from my shop system plugin related to IAP.

    I filed a bug report.
