    Hi,
    - My PC is running Windows 8.1 and Unity3D 5.0.1
    - I download example from http://docs.unity3d.com/uploads/Main/XAMLUnityConnection.zip
    - I build Windows Store -> Phone 8.1
    - When I run the example under Device->Debug mode of Visual Studio 2013, I got error at
    UnityEngine.GameObject go = UnityEngine.GameObject.Find("Cube"); //line 160, MainPage.xaml.cs

    Output windows show:
    Anybody know about this issue?

    I just switched Unity3d back to version 4.6.1. Now I can pass the connection. It means: UnityEngine.Object.FindObjectOfType and UnityEngine.GameObject.Find functions in XAML file work well. I didn't get error as described above anymore.

    Any Unity Technologies or some one know about this? I want to use new features of Unity 5.x. :|
    Thank

    Is this the most recent unmodified example? In such case please report a bug.

    You certainly should be able to connect XAML with Unity, just you need to be careful with calling things from correct thread.

    Hi,

    I believe that's a documentation bug. Wrap the function in this - it should solve it:

    Code (csharp):
    1. AppCallbacks.InvokeOnAppThread(() =>
    2. {
    3. });

    Hi, Thank for reply.
    This example is newest example about connect XAML with Unity from Unity Document site. Seem Unity need to update it.
    After digging info from Google. Now I can connect XAML with Unity by using: static class or App Callback. With static class, I don't need to call FindObject from Unity Engine anymore.

    Thank.
