Unity 4.3.3 Type.GetMembers(BindingFlags) crash

After upgrade to 4.3.3 Type.GetMethods(BindingFlags) and other abstract methods in Type class don't work in windows phone. All builds fine, but on execution we get MissingMethodException. In Unity 4.3.2 all worked.

I attached test project that illustrates this problem.

 

Run into the similar problem: “Exception: Method not found: 'System.TypeCode System.Type.GetTypeCode(System.Type)'.”

Please notify me if there are some updates on this topic.

Upd. Script to reproduce:

Code (csharp):

1. sealed class IssueReproductionScript : UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     internal void OnGUI()
4.     {
5.         UnityEngine.GUILayout.Label(_label);
6.     }
7.  
8.     internal void Start()
9.     {
10.         try
11.         {
12.             var typeCode = System.Type.GetTypeCode(typeof(System.DateTime));
13.             _label = typeCode.ToString();
14.             UnityEngine.Debug.Log(_label);
15.         }
16.         catch (System.Exception ex)
17.         {
18.             _label = ex.ToString();
19.             UnityEngine.Debug.LogError(_label);
20.         }
21.     }
22.  
23.     private string _label = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("s");
24. }

 

I've been facing the same issue all day with 4.3.3. After reading the thread, I downgraded to 4.3.2 and the game now runs perfectly fine.

The missing methods were [List<PropertyInfo>[] Type.GetProperties(BindingFlags)] and [System.TypeCode System.Type.GetTypeCode(System.Type)].

I have been having same Missing Method exception problem with System.Type.GetMethod (and System.Type.GetFields ??).

I have been trying to write a workaround that calls through to the WP8 side, but this hits the problem that when I try to write a function inside my VS project that uses binding flags it tells me it has been defined twice. (once in WinRTLegacy.dll, once somewhere else that I think comes from windows.. mscorelib perhaps?)

I can use an alias to reference the BindingFlags inside WinRTLegacy, but have not yet figured out how to reference the other version in order to try to call the original, correct functions from inside by WP8 visual studio project.

Sorry about fuzzy description. Since this apparently is a bug, I can give a proper bug report when I get back to work.

 

@bem13: I "solved" the problem by going back to version 4.3.2 of Unity. Unless there is something specific you need from 4.3.3, it shouldn't cause trouble at all.

 

Tautvydas, thank you very much for response!

Are there any estimates when the next fixed version of Unity will be available?

 

Thanks guys for looking into this!

 

Just an FYI, I filed a bug report on this as well as it completely broke my JSON .NET Serializer running on the device for Windows Phone using Unity 4.3.3. This update has broken some very basic underlying functionality and I'm hoping it is fixed soon. I'm finding it a bit hard to believe that there is no plan to fix a bug that was just introduced simply because there's a workaround for it. It's one thing if it had broken something in the Unity API, but it broke some basic .NET functionality.

 

It's really not at all a professional and responsible attitude for an Awesome company like Unity to create a bug and then let its customers to "work around" the bug.

 

Hi, I couldnt spot this in the issue tracker but I didn't see mention of it being fixed in 4.3.4. (havent installed 4.3.4 yet because I dont know if the workaround is still robust)

Any updates? I would certainly vote this one up if it is in the tracker!

 

I submitted a bug on the 27th:

#587845

It's still marked as "Open" and hasn't made it into the issue tracker yet. I'm assuming the same workaround will work and it's not fixed yet in 4.3.4 since that update only fixed an iOS issue. If it's still not working on 4.3.4 you should submit another bug. By the sound of the developer's comments above, this one will likely go largely ignored unless some folks push for it. I'll update here if my bug ever gets put into the issue tracker so you can vote for it.

 

Thanks for the clarification. Glad you guys are fixing it. I realize it may not have been the highest priority because Windows Phone has a lower saturation and I think any level headed individual would understand that. I was just concerned because of this comment:

Which made it appear that you had completely deprioritized it.

 

Tautvydas: Will the missing GetTypeCode get fixed in the next update?
4.3.x won't get the fixes?

 

That's what he's saying yes. It won't be hotfixed but it will be included in the next release (probably 4.4.0 would be my guess). It'll be in the next minor revision but not hot fixed into a 4.3.x release.

 

i did the workaround and copied the dll from 4.3.2 to my 4.3.3 folder.
no i'm getting the next error:
Error building Player: Exception: Failed to run assembly preprocessor with command line "Temp/StagingArea/Data/Managed\Boo.Lang.dll" -injectCtor -assemblyPath "Temp/StagingArea" -pdb.[Temp/StagingArea/Data/Managed\Boo.Lang.dll]
No symbols for Temp/StagingArea/Data/Managed\Boo.Lang.dll
Injecting ctor
Error while in assembly preprocessor Temp/StagingArea/Data/Managed\Boo.Lang.dll

 

well, right now i 'solved' the problem by using 4.3.2 completely instead of just copying the dll.
So i work within the latest version and for wp8 network builds i use 4.3.2

 

But using 4.3.2 has other issue which is trying to pass the Microsoft App Kit Store validation. You get something like this:

API System.Reflection.MemberTypes in MSCORLIB, PUBLICKEYTOKEN=B77A5C561934E089 is not supported for this application type. Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll calls this API.

Probably Unity has tried to solve this issues, and because of that in 4.3.4 we've got problems with System.Reflection.MemberTypes.

 

Someone could please share the WinRTLegacy.dll from Unity 4.3.2?

 

Not sure what the redistribution rules are for the assemblies otherwise I could post it. :/ easiest thing is to just install 4.3.2 in a different folder and copy from there.

I get the same error he did. Should I copy over the whole managed folder?

 

Okay if you copy over Boo.Lang.dll and UnityScript.Lang.dll over it'll work...but now I lost ArrayList support...sigh...this is ridiculous. Can Unity just host the hotfixed .dll's until the next version? I can't downgrade to 4.3.2 and now I essentially can't build to wp8...

Alternatively if I get the beta and bring over the .dlls from there, will that work and still have ArrayList support?

 

This works (taking the three .dll's from the latest 4.6 beta)! I'm not sure how I feel about using .dll's from a beta though...oh well, will have to do for now.

 

Could you please provide these three assemblies from 4.6 beta; place it on some file hosting like https://mega.co.nz/ or smth. It will be very much appreciated!

Boo.Lang.dll
UnityScript.Lang.dll
WinRTLegacy.dll

DLLs from 4.3.2 didn't help, because of mentioned reason — deprecated Hashtable and ArrayList are heavily used by some plugins.

Sorry for bothering, I'm a little in time pressure of our schedule. Managers say we need to release an update for WP8 edition of our game ASAP because of some marketing reasons. And compilation issues we got after updating to Unity 4.3.4 seem to be showstopper. (We delayed updating from 4.3.2 as long as we could, but newly introduced features of our game for iOS and Android required us to update to 4.3.4. So we could not downgrade back to 4.3.2.)

 

The same situation, can't wait for the new version
Can you please provide the dll's from 4.6 beta?

 

This bug is still present in Unity version 4.6.7p1, we already tried to patch using the dll from 4.6.0p1 but this had not fixed the issue.
please we are in a hurry to deliver our game, there is any other workaround available?
