Can someone interfere with your app code?

[Grasshopper2020]

Hello, a developer mentioned he was now able to synchronise codes between apps.

How does that work?

I have inherited an app, that mysteriously is breaking in several places, like out of place boxes, missing game objects from inspector, and most of the functionality gone.

Could it be that there is a specific folder that the app needs access to, in able to function fully?

I wonder if there is a malicious code somewhere in the dll package

Or is it coz I downloaded Unity 5 and it messed my 2018 version? help please!

Opening a 2018 project in Unity 5 could certainly break things. Start over and use the version the project was created with to avoid troubles like this.

Sorry I meant, the project uses a 2018 version, and I opened it with that one specifically

I have downloaded also a Unity 5 version for a test project, and uninstalled it to see if it would be any better, but no luck so far

You can only go UP in Unity versions. Going down is not supported. It might work but it probably won’t.

Remember that Unity5 is several years old. You cannot submit to Apple or Google with Unity5 anymore.

Start from scratch, put your entire project under source control, commit it all (I recommend git; there’s tons of tutorials and it is super easy to start with), then open the correct version of Unity and see what gets changed by the API updater. And again you can only go to LATER versions of Unity, not earlier ones.

You can see what Unity version is wanted in the ProjectSettings folder under the ProjectVersion.txt file.

Thank you, sorry I should have specified that Unity 5 was for a different project

I opened the ‘broken’ project with the correct 2018 version, not sure if there is a ghost in the pc or I have messed something up, hopefully the later!
