Error Building Player when Appending

For some reason, after the second time appending an iOS project when building, I get this error:
"Error building Player: ArgumentException: An element with the same key already exists in the dictionary"

No more information is provided, and I can't double click it to make it open anything.
This started when I switched to 4.6.2. It builds fine if I do a replace instead.

 

Sorry for the delay. I switched projects for a little bit and didn't have the chance to go back and report the bug. Just submitted the bug report. Didn't really get a chance to shrink the project. Case 676108
I am using:
Prime31 Google Play Games
Prime31 Game Center
Google Mobile Ads
Everyplay
Unibill
CryptoPlayerPrefs
Pathological Games Pool Manager
NGUI

 

@KamiKaze425 This should be fixed in 4.6.3p1

See: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/4-...append-to-xcode-project-replace-works.296231/

 

I was using 4.6.3f1... is that not the same?

 

downloaded 4.6.3p1. problem still persists.
Edit: seems less frequent though. not sure

 

We had a problem like this when our Automated BuildPipeline programmatically added Scripting Define Symbols without testing if they were already present.. If the same scripting define was set twice it would cause this error. For example, DEBUG;USE_DEV_SERVER;USE_DEV_SERVER

This was specifically with:
PlayerSettings.SetScriptingDefineSymbolsForGroup

 

Please give more details or we must assume what you've tried.

Did you do a 'replace' build first? I would not assume that an 'append' build will work without first doing a replace since there are likely errors still persisting in the Xcode project from 4.3.6f1. (it's actually good practice to always to a replace build for every new release including patch releases).

If you did already try a replace build and the issue persists then you'll need to submit a bug report with a project that reproduces the issue as Unity have marked this bug as fixed and are not looking at it now. They'll need a project that reproduces the issue to be able to address this though.

 

@Quantum Mechanic: I'll take a look

@larku: I was required to do a replace. You can't append if your Unity version changes. It's the exact same project I sent them when it failed on 4.6.3f1. All I did was upgrade it to 4.6.3p1. My plugins are the same. My instructions on the previous bug are the same. All I did was upgrade my Unity. Relaunch the project to update it. Replace the XCode project. Added the requirements for Google Mobile Ads. Worked fine (those instructions were listed in my original bug). The first append seemed fine. Then the next failed.

I was able to test and submit within the first append. So it's not an issue at the moment. If it's not an issue for other people, I can leave it at that. I'm onto the next project already.

 

Hi, right, sounds like your original bug is still an issue. Hopefully Unity continue to address your original bug report!

 

Maybe could you consider improving on the error message so that it could point us somewhere? I tried the editor log but doesn't say anything either.

 

I feel stuck here... Don't know what I can do about this, now I have a list of things to do manually on the xCode project everytime I make a build, and the list is growing.

 

Same issue, first build to new folder or replace works. Append fails.
We have custom defines in build settings.

 

I found this asset which allows you to automate some manual tasks.
