    "IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.
    UnityEditor.Android.AndroidBuildWindowExtension.GetBuildPlayerWindow ()
    UnityEditor.Android.AndroidBuildWindowExtension.RepaintTargetList ()
    UnityEditor.EditorApplication.Internal_CallUpdateFunctions () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/EditorApplication.cs:191)"

    This error message occurs when I added GIFS onto a material, then added material on a Quad.

    It builds fine but this error message occurs.

    Don't use GIFs. Use PNG for lossless compression, and JPEG for lossy compression.

    Not that I have any idea what's going on with the error above. It's just a general policy everyone should follow. :)

    Can PNGs create an animation?

    GIFs can.

    True. That is the one valid use for GIFs in the modern world, but I didn't think that would apply in this case, because you can't just add an animated GIF to a material to get an animated texture... can you? (Could be a Unity feature I never knew about!)

    Looks like something that could be added in the future.
