Build macOS standalone on Unity 2019.4.8 using Mono on Big Sur not working

Unity Engine

1

Hi,

I tried finding information about this in the forum and only saw a known issue about using IL2CPP on Big Sur not working but I’m using Mono and it is giving me a Burst exception and I’m not sure what to do about it, I only have access to one Mac machine that since I need to test the project on it I need it running Big Sur, does building a Mac project not work right now? Is there any work around for it? If possible I’m trying to avoid updating for any version that is not LTS since I don’t want things to break on the project because I’m upgrading Unity.

Errors I’m getting:

Hi, there is a bug in unity on BigSur where it misidentifies the host as being a linux platform rather than correctly identifying it as a mac. Unfortunately this will mean you will need to upgrade your LTS version, I’ve just checked and it appears that 2019.4.12f1 will contain the fix, but its not released yet.

3

Do you have an ETA on when 2019.4.12f1 will be available? the 2020 latest version has this problem fixed?

Thanks!

4

It should be out next week. It hasn’t landed to 2020.1 yet either. It should work fine on 2020.2 beta.

@Tautvydas-Zilys I am still getting com.unity.burst@1.3.7/.Runtime/hostlin/lld: cannot execute binary file

On Big Sur and Unity 2020.1.6.

Is there a planned fix for 2020.1?

EDIT: This issue no longer exists with 2020.1.15

@adammpolak Can you tell me what the solution was? I recently moved my project from windows to mac and I am seeing this. Unable to work on my project due to this. Would be grateful if you could tell me what happened after this. Thanks

The solution was in my edit, I updated to a later version of the editor and the issue disappeared.
