    When I build for phone Emulator/x86 from Visual Studio I get this error: Cannot find assembly "C:\Users\NoName\Documents\Unity Projects\Builds\EmulatorTest\Players\WindowsPhone81\x86\Release\UnityEngineDelegates.dll", which may contain managed resources that need to be included in this app package. Please ensure that this assembly exists.

    I am building a new empty unity project for WSA Phone 8.1, I have a reference to UnityEngineDelegates.winmd in references, building for device/arm is working, and I'm using Unity 5.1.0f3.

    Any tips on how I can fix this error?

    Build Debug configuration. There's little point in building Release version for Emulator.

    I'm getting the same error when using the Debug configuration.

    I just downloaded Unity 5.1.0f3 and it seems there's a bug in our build process - it places this file into a wrong directory. We will fix it in the future patch release, but you can workaround it:

    Copy all folders in "Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\metrosupport\Players\WindowsPhone81\Win32" to "Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\metrosupport\Players\WindowsPhone81\x86".

    If it doesn't work, let me know, but I'm fairly certain that it will fix it.

    We've fixed it internally, and it will be included in one of the future releases. I'm not sure about the timeline though - it might be 5.2. We regarded it with fairly low priority because there is a clear workaround and windows phone emulator is used very rarely. Are you blocked by it?

    What hes this to do with emulator? Please, don't post unrelated questions to existing threads.
    As for your issue, make sure you use the latest version of WACK.

    The issue has been fixed in Unity 5.2. If you update your Unity version, the problem will go away :).
