Nondescript IL2CPP build error (2018.2.f2)

    Moved here from another thread.

    We get this build error when building for iOS. It's pretty nondescript -- I see that it's an error with our render pipeline assembly, but I'm not sure beyond that.
    And here's the full error from the log.
    Couple weird things:
    It seems to come up randomly. Our builds have been fine -- I changed one unrelated line of code (has nothing to do with that render pipeline assembly), and it started to happen, and won't go away. I had just fixed an error (editor code in packaged build, had just removed that code when this occurred.) and this issue started happening. Reverting that code doesn't help.
    I'm building a development build, but it doesn't seem to recognize that and give more information.

    We had this issue before -- I rearranged some of our assembly definition files and it seemed to fix it. However, it's back and I'm stuck again. :/

    Can you submit a bug report with the project in a state that causes this issue? This is a bug in IL2CPP. Unfortunately, I don't see a work around for it now, but we should be able to correct it.

    We're working on getting a stripped version of the project & sending a bug report!

    Thanks! When the bug is corrected, the fix will end up in a Unity patch release. We'll let you know the release which has the fix, and any work around you can apply in your version.

    Hey @JoshPeterson , we're getting this error too. When is the patch going to be applied? Is there a workaround?

    The latest 2018.3 beta release has an improved error message for this case. The error was caused by some invalid IL code in the original bug report. I'm not sure if you have similar IL code in your project, but the new error message should indicate at least where the problem is located.

    Thanks @JoshPeterson. I had a hunch of what could be happening, and since we've been using Odin Inspector - which uses a bunch of reflection, i figured it was related to this. Odin uses an AOT generated dll with your serializable types, and it hadn't been regenerated in a while. For some reason it started giving problems now and the team was stuck for a couple of days. Fortunately just regenerating the dll seemed to have worked. Posting this just in case someone in the future gets stuck with a simliar problem.
    Thanks for the info on 2018.3 beta. I'll be sure to take a look on it if something similar rearises.
