    The generated shader code (gles3.0) may have some problem.
    Shader Code like this:
    (value>>8)&8 ;

    will generate:
    bitfieldExtract(value,8,8);

    But the problem is bitfieldExtract is not supported by gles3.0.
    I want to know is there any good method to solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Are you using something like this line somewhere in your shader?
    #pragma target es3.0

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have try:
    #pragma target es3.0
    #pragma target 3.0
    #pragma target 3.5
    But make no sense.
    Error will output:
    0(33) : error C7532: global function bitfieldExtract requires "#version 400" or later
    0(33) : error C0000: ... or #extension GL_ARB_gpu_shader5 : enable

    I think maybe it's a bug on gles platform of unity.
    Actually,if unity do nothing with the >>&,the shader will work well...

    You might need to report it as a big then. A cursory internet search showed the same bug happening in some non-Unity projects, so it might be some library Unity uses that’s behaving badly.

    What are you trying to do?

    If you want to read a bit, you can do it with a divide and a modulo:
    (number / (2^bit position) %2
