    Hi, I'm using Unity 2019.2.0f1

    When I use EditorUtility.OpenFilePanel to open a png file it works fine in the Unity application, but when I try and build it crashes every time. This is definitely the cause of the crash as when I comment it out it builds fine.

    Is this a known bug/issue ? I searched this forum but not found it or any potential fixes ? Is there an alternative to using EditorUtility.OpenFilePanel ? I can't change the Unity version as am restricted to company version.

    Thanks

    David

    EditorUtility is only available within the Editor, it's not possible to create a build that's using it.

    There's no alternative that's built into Unity. You would have to look for one on the Asset Store or some other 3rd-party solution, or build your own.
