Invalid serialized file version after upgrade

Just upgraded Unity from 5.3.0f2 to the official release (f4). Now, when I run my game on iOS i get this error and the game closes right after opening:

Invalid serialized file version. File: "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/*******/bes.app/Data/globalgamemanagers". Expected version: 5.3.0f2. Actual version: 5.3.0f4.

I have tried reimporting all assets and creating a new build, with no luck. I'm not using any asset bundles.
It only happens on iOS, when doing a WebGL build i can run it fine.

Anyone knows a solution to this?

EDIT: The entire log:

Managed to fix the problem by completely removing Unity with AppCleaner and reinstalling it.

Thanks for the support!

 

I'm getting a similar error, after doing the 5.3.1p1 patch, crashes all my Android builds at start. I've used AppCleaner, on 2 separate machines, complete reinstall, same problem. Log says:
E/Unity (16867): Invalid serialized file version. File: "/data/app/net.servicemedia.ovrTest-2/base.apk/assets/bin/Data/globalgamemanagers". Expected version: 5.3.1f1. Actual version: 5.3.1p1.

I filed a bug, it's # 756814

 

It also does it on new, empty project, with nothing to reimport

 

Maybe it's mac only, for some reason? Same behavior on 2 different machines ( brand new iMac and an older iMac ) - but I know not everybody is having this problem

 

Same problem here with installed version 5.3.1p2 "Expected version 5.3.0f4"

 

I filed a bug on this and they did reproduce, it's because I didn't install the patch using Download Assistant with the Android build target selected. Rerun the p2 install using Download Assistant and make sure you check the Android build target.

 

I'm getting this post's original error (invalid version for globalgamemanagers) on iOS / Unity 5.3.1p4.

 

You mean the download assistant to download Unity? Yes I downloaded it with that from this link:
https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releases
I'm developing for iOS so I don't have the Unity's platform switched to Android though.

 

Same problem:

Expected version: 5.3.0f4. Actual version: 5.3.1f1.

Cleaned Unity off my computer with AppCleaner, reinstalled.
Made sure to select Android as a platform this time. It worked.

 

hi, for my case, im using unity 32 bit, because im developing AR apps on android. unity 32 bit doesnt have android platform in the download assistants. I manually copy android platform file from unity 64 bit folder and paste it into the unity 32 bit folder. So i think your solution might not work for me. btw, can i import my project from 32 bit to 64 bit and build the .apk files in 64 bit?.please help me, i spend a whole day yesterday to find the solution but still haven't solve it.

 

I fixed the problem by uninstalling Unity and by downloading the download manager in order to reinstall the iOS export module.

 

For me,

When I did updated Unity, I only updated Unity Editor,
So there was a conflict between Unity Editor version & Builder version.

using Download Manager, just re-installed Mac Builder to update it.

Hope that helps

 

When I had this problem with the latest patch version 5.3.2p4, I closed Unity and MonoDevelop, then I checked out my code in a new directory (i.e. without Library/ and Temp/), creating a new Unity project, and built it from scratch. That worked for me.

 

After a year with same error.
globalmanagers Expected version:5.6.0f3. Actual version :5.6.0f1.
i hope unity will solve this issue with next update. Or we will change game engine

 

This error still appears:

 

Hey there, cleaning and reinstalling Unity doesnt work for me, got "Expected version: 2019.3.2f1. Actual version: 2019.4.11f1" in new created empty project

 

Fixed, check sdk`s path in Preferences->External Tools, for some reason sdk path was to wrong engine version ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I am have the same problem on our VR game. We upgraded our Unity from 2019.3.15f1 to 2020.2.2f1 and, each build deployed and launched on Steam, we have this message :


I opened the Unity playerlog and here is the "stack trace" :

I tried every solutions above, and none worked. Any other solutions ?

 

go to the your file with the issue and change 5.3.0f4 to 5.3.0f2.
and it's work with all this kind of problem i think
it's working for me
