TextMesh Pro Crash TMP 1.4.1

Using Unity 2018.4.3f1 the game crashes on start. It happens on Android and Mac (didn't check other platforms)
The steps to reproduce are simple. But they are different if you are building through the cmd line (e.g. through a jenkins job or just manually using unity UI)

Without using cmd line:
1. Create a empty scene with a TMP text
2. Build for any of those platforms
3. Exit Unity
3. Build
4. Run the game, it should crash

Cmd line:
1. Create a empty scene with a TMP text
2. Build using the cmdline
3. Run the game, it should crash

I attached the logs for each platform. The crash doesn't happen with TMP 1.3.0.

 

This is most likely related to a build system bug (which has been fixed but not back ported) where the incorrect assembly is used in the build process.

To verify this is in fact the same bug, in the editor open the build settings and change the Architecture to x86. Wait for Unity to do its thing. Then without building switch back to x86_64 and then build. Switching Architecture forces Unity to re-sync with the correct assemblies instead of using the Editor assemblies which contain an additional serialized property.

Give the above a try and let me know if you still experience this crash.

 

I should mention that I'm building on Mac, so I don't think I even have the option change Architectures.

 

Switching platform should do it I believe.

 

When will this bug fix be back ported to 2018.4?
