    Hi folks.

    I'm having a problem currently with my build server (and also manually building) and my iOS build.
    When building a xCode project, only the first time the build process is running fine. After that, I get a null reference exception for building. From the logfile:

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. /Applications/Unity4.6.2/Unity.app/Contents/PlaybackEngines/iossupport/UnityEditor.iOS.Extensions.Xcode.dll (this message is harmless)
    3. 09:04:06 Error building Player: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    4.  
    I then have to replace the old xCode project and modify my project again (which is pretty annoying). I'm using Unity 4.6.2 and xCode 6.1.

    Anyone else has this problem?

    I have also managed to get the exact same error message you are getting in our actual project when building. Player.log shows a null reference error in some random code.

    Just want to toss my hat in this as saying I am having the same problem. I have to usually rebuild my project instead of append.

    I am for sure. Seems like a legitimate bug.

    Same issue here. I solved it by deleting iOS build, and making a new build with Unity.
    I yet have to try to build second time.. (after restarting Unity).

    EDIT: nope. No luck. Same problem again.
    What I do to fix is:
    - delete whole build folder (sometimes works or not)
    - restart unity (sometimes working)

    Also started getting another bug when wanting to open project with xCode (couldn't parse...).

    P.S. I am using Facebook plugin.

    Interesting. @Frank84 do you know if this is related to the Facebook plugin only? I've removed it from my testproject, but the problem still occured.
