Crash immediately upon trying to build to Android

Hi guys, earlier tonight I installed Unity 4.1 and I exported my game fine to Droid. Then a couple hours later, every time I try to export to Droid, Unity crashes immediately. I even tried rolling back to the same version of my game since it worked earlier tonight. No dice.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Oh, by the way, not sure if this is associated or not, but I'm using a test Android Pro license provided by UT and every time I go back to the Build Settings window, it has reverted back from Android to PC Standalone...I don't think that was happenning until tonight either.

 

Sort of similar to what happen to me. I tried to export and build for iOS (iPad) and it crashed every time. I have removed 4.1 and is now back on 4.0.1. It could be some of the plugins that I used. (2dtoolkit, NGUI, UnitySerializer, EasySave)...

 

Yeah I did file a bug report.

 

I found out why Unity 4.1 crashed when I tried to build for Android or iOS. The project folder name contained spaces and that seem to be the problem. Renamed folders and it build the iOS version OK. Not tested on the android version.

 

Well so much for that fix. Its now back to crashing like crazy again. Switching platform is now impossible. Just crashing and I have no idea how to get back from the selected iOS platform to the Mac/PC one. This is very nice from a "professional" tool....

 

Same problem too...

 

yep, just started getting this once we upgraded to 4.1. We also have filed a report.

 

Awesomely, the bug fix for our game crashing on Android is only included in this 4.1 fix, in which I can't even export any longer. Which is even worse

 

Happening to me too. I just updated to 4.1 today... I'm assuming that's what caused the problem. I ended up downgrading back to 4.01 and can build in iOS again. My Mac and Windows builds were fine in 4.1, though. I also updated my OS X to 10.8.3 today so that's another variable.

WarbladerToo - I can switch back to Mac or PC by selecting Build Settings from the File menu (Shift-Command-B).

 

After another attempt to upgrade to fix the crash bug and upgrading from 4.1.0 and then to 4.1.2, cleaning the entire project by exporting all scenes and dependencies to a new package and creating a new project, sending Unity a copy of the project which they found no issues, we gave up and reverted back to Unity 4.0.

Now we can build our Android release again using Unity 4.0. This experience has left me with little faith in Unity's Q+A, I will certainly not be changing my build version again during production.

 

Having a quick digging around in the logs, it looks like [ExecuteInEditMode] was causing the problem. Just commented them all out and now I can switch to Android just dandy.

This was the log entry that gave it away:

I commented them all out, switched platform, then put them back in and things seem to be running fine.

 

@TimeJockey, I did what you suggest (commented all occurrences of "[ExecuteInEditMode]"), but it didn't work for me. Unity Editor crashes every time I try to switch platform to Android. I have tried version 4.1.0 and 4.1.2.
This problems occurs only in one project. The other ones are switching between platforms without problem.

 

Ok, just because I have commented, I could find a solution (at least in my case).
The trick is to uncheck all the scenes in Build Settings and, after that, click on "Switch Platform" to Android.

 

That helped me. I used Replace in Files in Monodevelop and replaced all [ExecuteInEditMode] with //[ExecuteInEditMode], saved all files, switched the platform and did the replacement in reverse.

 

Hi Guys,

Anyone found any solution for this one? I'm facing the same problem.

Please advise.

 

This trick got me to switch platform from PC to Android without crashing. Thank you.

 

Thanks for all the help in this thread ... I am now happily building for iOS

I am running 4.1.2 and had not built my project before for iOS but had the same problem where it was immediately crashing when I hit the "Build" button.

The fix for my project was commenting out the "[ExecuteInEditMode]" statements in all the scripts. This seemed to be most prevalent in NGUI and the Standard Assets/Image Effects (Pro Only)

[UPDATE]

The author of NGUI told me that he encountered the same problem, his workaround was to start a "New Scene" before building for iOS ... reverted my script edits and tried the same thing, no crash occurred ... happy build!

 

Be careful doing that. Commenting out ExecuteInEditMode will break NGUI's functionality in the editor.

Work-around that works for me is starting a new scene prior to switching build targets and/or building.

P.S. If there is a case number on this, let me know what it is please.

 

Confirmed over here that switching platforms in a new empty scene works - thanks ArenMook!

 

having same problem here, nothing worked, but doing the switch platforms with an empty scene worked for me as well (weh). Thanx ArenMook!

 

same here

 

Hi,

Unity 5.0.2f1, same crash problem during build if I keep [ExecuteInEditMode] in one of my scripts.
Building from an empty scene and/or switching platforms doesn't help at all

Any other idea ?

[EDIT] : I've found a solution. I had some code in the Awake() method, I moved it in Start() since it wasn't a big deal in my case, and now it's compiling
