trying to get around missing reference types

In my app I have a file browser and on windows phone platform many used methods are missing.

In the generated VS solution NETFX_CORE is not defined. Windows.Storage namespace? nope, doesn't exist.
Compile errors pop up only in unity console and not in english but in my localized language which also doesn't help. Build settings: phone 8.1 sdk, Unity C# projects, development build.
Tried setting up compilation override to 'none' and it seems to compile without errors but file browser doesn't work and I get errors post-launch.
Using VS 2015 but I had 2013 previously and same problems.

Any advice?

 

I did set that override. Thought that NETFX_CORE should be defined when I switch platform to wp8.1 but it appears it's only active when I hit 'build' in Unity. So no assist in visual studio whatsoever. I've made separate wp project in visual studio so I could at least see what WinRTLegacy library has to offer and that way I've managed to fix compile time errors.

Still things go wrong when I launch the app on the phone from VS and for some reason there's no on-device debugging? All info I get is console output.

 

Well it looks like in VS project there are only compiled files for the player + some wrapping code in App.xaml.cs & MainPage.xaml.cs. No source to set break points in, also won't break on exceptions so it's not much of help.

 

I can work with that, thanks!

 

Well, I have the same problem, that I cannot see my scripts inside VS2015. I have "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" enabled and yet I do not see anywhere that I can access my scripts? Please explain further how I access my scripts in VS2015 if I have built in Unity with the Unity C# project unchecked.

 

What Tautvydas Zilys wrote worked for me, to debug & set breakpoints open the project builded for wp8 in VS. There are no scripts in solution but now you can drag&drop C# scripts from unity folder onto VS and debugging works with that.

 

Hmmm, I am confused (that seems to be the norm these days).

It says to NOT add them to the project itself !!
Which is correct??

 

yeah you just need to open files, don't "add" them through solution explorer

 

Okay what do I do to open the script files. I don't see them anywhere?

 

right click on a script in unity > 'show in explorer

 

I am trying to see my scripts in Visual Studio2015

 

If I select "Unity C# project" checkbox, yes I can see my scripts within VS2015. However then I am unable to "Project / Store / Create App Package". Is that correct?

 

okay, I have selected Unity C# project (checked) and have done a new build in Unity. When I open in VS2015 I have 3 projects in the Solution Explorer (Assembly-CSharp, Assembly-CSharp-firstpass, and my game). When I try to debug ( 2 succeed and 1 fails). Thus I cannot debug. The errors are:

3>: XamlCompiler error WMC1006: Cannot resolve Assembly or Windows Metadata file 'System.Runtime.dll'
3>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WindowsXaml\v14.\8.2\Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.Common.targets(263,5): Xaml Internal Error error WMC9999: Type universe cannot resolve assembly: System.Runtime, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,

As far as I can tell "System.Runtime.dll" cannot be found?

How do I debug my game in VS2015?

 

Ok,
NuGet set. Debug run and this is the error I get

When I run Start without debugging I get this error

 

Why can I not debug? and if it worked why did my game not start?

 

Well, I have unchecked "Development build" from my Unity build. Built again and Can debug in VS2015. I can build successfully.
However when I try to "Create App Package" it fails. Oh so close!! Here is the entire error message:

I see a compile error - failed to parse "CameraRotate+<WaitForTime>d_12
I have looked at my code script for my CameraRotate script and fail to see anything wrong. The cameraRotate script rotates the camera by 180 degrees once only when the bool "oneShotRotate = false". Perhaps another set of eyes will see something. Thank you.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class CameraRotate : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public bool pointAtA = false;
7.     public float speed = 6f;
8.  
9.     public float angleA = 0f;
10.     public float angleB = 180f;
11.  
12.     Quaternion a;
13.     Quaternion b;
14.     Quaternion target;
15.  
16.     private bool oneShotRotate = false;        //used to run the coRoutine ONCE
17.     private bool waitIsFinished = false;    //used to start the camera rotation after the wait is finished
18.     private bool rotateIsDone = false;        //used to prevent camera rotation happening more than once
19.  
20.     void Awake()
21.     {
22.         a = Quaternion.AngleAxis (angleA, Vector3.forward);
23.         b = Quaternion.AngleAxis (angleB, Vector3.forward);
24.         target = a;
25.         //print ("A = " + angleA  + ", B = " + angleB);
26.         //print ("a = " + a  + ", b = " + b);
27.  
28.     }
29.  
30.     void Update()
31.     {
32.         //use "oneShotRotate" to only run this CoRoutine once
33.         if (GameManagerR2.instance.isFlyInCompleted && oneShotRotate == false)
34.         {          
35.             oneShotRotate = true;
36.             //Wait and then begin camera rotation
37.             StartCoroutine(WaitForTime());
38.         }
39.  
40.  
41.         if (waitIsFinished == true && rotateIsDone == false)    
42.         {
43.             rotateIsDone = true;
44.             target = pointAtA ? a : b;
45.             pointAtA = !pointAtA;
46.  
47.             GameManagerR2.instance.cameraRotateIsFinished = true;          
48.         }
49.  
50.         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (transform.rotation, target, Time.deltaTime * speed);      
51.     }
52.  
53.  
54.     //used to wait for xx seconds
55.     IEnumerator WaitForTime()
56.     {
57.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
58.      
59.         waitIsFinished = true;
60.     }
61. }
62.  

 

Ok, have unchecked C# in Unity and I am working thru the build and create app package in VS

 

Well done Tautvydas and Aurimas. It all worked and is uploaded to the Windows store for certification. Hopefully all goes well with this final step in the process.
The only code that I changed along the way was a SceneManager code as follows:

changed from

Code (CSharp):

1. SceneManager.GetSceneAt(0).buildIndex == 1

to

Code (CSharp):

1. SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex==1

Thanks again for all your help.

 

I get this error also for some reason, can't locate why. But it is solved if I do one of the following:
1. Clean the whole C# VS Solution and then rebuild it and then deploy (Local Machine in my case).
2. If I delete a folder or file (any folder or file) in the "Assembly-CSharp"-project and deploy (Local Machine in my case). (Not sure if a rebuild will occur when doing this or why it works, but it works in my case)

 

Very strange. I have found debugging a Unity build in VS very tricky. Sometimes a Clean Build and then Build or Rebuild will work and other times not. I have not found the correct steps that work consistently. Clever idea about deleting a folder, I will try that.

 

Not really a clever idea! I was trying to investigate if it was some file that caused the error, but in the end it seems like whichever folder/file I removed it made it work. :S

Did it work for you to remove a file or folder? @TGKG
