    I'm trying to build from Windows from my Mac and I'm getting the following error:


    Plugin 'OVRPlugin.dll' is used from several locations:
    /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/UnityExtensions/Unity/VR/Win64/OVRPlugin.dll would be copied to <PluginPath>/OVRPlugin.dll
    /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/UnityExtensions/Unity/VR/Win/OVRPlugin.dll would be copied to <PluginPath>/OVRPlugin.dll
    Please fix plugin settings and try again.

    UnityEditor.Modules.DefaultPluginImporterExtension:CheckFileCollisions(String)
    UnityEditorInternal.PluginsHelper:CheckFileCollisions(BuildTarget) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/Plugins/PluginsHelper.cs:25)
    UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()


    As far as I know, this project doesn't have any plugins. I'm not using Virtual Reality, which this seems to be for. I was also able to build for Windows in a previous version, but just updated to the latest (5.5.2).

    Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

    I seem to have gotten around it by using Cloud Build instead.

    I'm having the same exact problem using Unity 5.5.2f1 on Mac. I can't build for iOS!

    As a workaround I have deleted the VR folder - /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/UnityExtensions/Unity/VR because I don't do anything VR related. Seems to be working so far although not the best idea.

    Another thing to try when this happens is deleting Library folder from your project and then launching Unity.

    Re import All Asset and compile App in another directory solve the problem for me.

    After an insurance-commit, I nuked the Library folder, launched Unity, reimported assets and was then able to compile for iOS. Going to give it a shot for compiling for Android, too, using this route.

    I renamed the Assets > OVR > Plugins > 1.18.1 > Win folder to ... Win 32 and the plugin to OVRPlugin1 So far, so good.
