Pls attempt a "hello world" IL2CPP compile before the other stuff

    Most of the issues come at the VERY end, if issues arise: And most of these are detected within seconds.

    For example, il2cpp:

    At the very beginning of building your game, it should do a hello world il2cpp compile to test for errors BEFORE waiting for everything else. Il2cpp isn't the only thing that can do this: There are tons of errors that are only detected at the end that could easily be tested at the beginning.

    TL;DR: Please include some integrity checks (especially with il2cpp) BEFORE the lengthy, main compile.

    While this doesn't solve your problem, if you get to IL2CPP compilation part and that fails, you can check "Script only build" in the build window and that will skip building data files. That should speed up your iteration time.

    Oh wow, what an awesome feature!! I have a post-compile script that is very difficult to test (before this tip, rather) that this tip would help, too. Thank you!!!
