il2cpp "File too large" error. Cannot build for Android using il2cpp

Hello, first time poster here.

I have searched using google, and through this forum's search engine and I cannot find the solution to my problem.

I am trying to build using the recommended Android SDK modules (provided by Unity hub installer), and I have upgraded them to the latest versions.

As I am building, Unity throws these errors and the build fails:

Spoiler: Console error message:

Building Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\iz17e\libil2cpp.so failed with output:
C:/Program Files/Unity/Hub/Editor/2021.3.8f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/NDK/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.9.x/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin\ld.gold.exe: fatal error: Library/Bee/artifacts/Android/iz17e/libil2cpp.so: File too large
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
UnityEditor.GenericMenu:CatchMenu (object,string[],int)

The culprit seems to be the libil2cpp.so which says "File too large". I am using the default AR Core template, no changes made.

I have uninstalled the Android modules, reinstalled them and ensured windows 10 SDK and Visual Studio 2019 are all up to date. I'd appreciate any help I can get, as I'm supposed to use this for a school project and neither I or any of my peers/teachers can figure out what's causing it.

Cheers

 

Hi Josh, and thank you for your quick response.

As far as I can tell, script debugging is disabled :

Apparently, I only have access to version 2021.3.8f1 through my student license. However, my 14 other classmates have not encountered this issue.

After sending them my project folder (still just the default AR Core template), they can build it just fine.

Is there an alternative to upgrading to 2022 here? Can I reinstall the il2cpp or a different version android kit somehow? Can I alter the maximum permissable filesize in some config? I'm running a medium/high end system with 32gb ram and loads of GB space for temporary file storage. My classmates running medium-spec laptops are not encountering this issue.

I assume reinstalling Unity won't have an effect, as the linker is part of the Android SDK module?

Thanks in advance.

 

Just tried to change for Faster (smaller) builds, and it's throwing the same error as before. I've essentially sat side-by-side with a classmate who this works for, and compared settings across the board. I just can't get it to build. It builds just fine in "mono" scripting backend, but not with the il2cpp option.

Before reinstalling the Android SDK modules, I tried copying the "Android Player" folder in PlaybackEngines from a classmate, but that didn't work either.

I'm really at a loss here.

 

We are both on r21d according to the CHANGELOG.md

 

That's a shame.

I've spent the past 6 hours troubleshooting, trying a different version. Reinstalled Unity, all the modules. Yet I end up with the exact same problem.

Which dependencies do il2cpp rely on? Is there something I'm missing? I thought it would be an "out of the box" solution by simply adding them in the modules settings. Could there be firewall settings blocking il2cpp? I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong.

Is there anything of value in the remaining error messages, or are these simply "nested" messages from the build process?



There must be something I can do to override the File size limit problem?

After all, it's simply the AR Core template - basically the bare bones of an AR solution.

 

I got my hands on the 2022.2 version, and it builds using il2cpp.

I'm still puzzled as to why it would not work in version 2021.3.8f1 and 2021.3.9f1

 

Attached the Editor.log (Forum forbids .log file extension, so it's a .txt)

I'll try the workaround.

 

Brief update:

I changed my System variable

, closed Unity, removed the Library folder and rebuilt the project.

Still get the same error message.

Please verify I'm supposed to set the env variable in the Windows advanced settings?

 

Und Now ??? Does it work?

 

je have the same problem, yesterday I could build my game without any problem, but today it dont work and I dont know why
