Compilation Errors After Installing Package com.unity.ui@1.0.0-preview.15

I’ve installed Unity version 2021.2.0b6, which is currently in Beta, and I’ve installed the package com.unity.ui@1.0.0-preview.15. As soon as it finishes installing, I get two console errors that prevent compilation:
Library\PackageCache\com.unity.ui@1.0.0-preview.15\Core\Renderer\UIRenderer\UIRenderers.cs(128,29): error CS0117: ‘Utility’ does not contain a definition for ‘ProfileImmediateRendererBegin’
Library\PackageCache\com.unity.ui@1.0.0-preview.15\Core\Renderer\UIRenderer\UIRenderers.cs(141,29): error CS0117: ‘Utility’ does not contain a definition for ‘ProfileImmediateRendererEnd’

I searched for methods called ProfileImmediateRendererBegin() and ProfileImmediateRendererEnd() in the C# files in this package, but I couldn’t find them. Is there another place these methods are supposed to be found? Are the names incorrect?

You should remove the com.unity.ui package since it’s part of 2021.2 now.

Oh, I see. Sorry, I somehow got the impression that only some aspects of the UI Toolkit were part of the engine now, and that others still required the package.

For Unity 2020.3 and 2021.1, this is true! For 2021.2 and up, Runtime UI Toolkit (the missing part for the previous version) is now a part of the main product, and it has new UI Toolkit features that are not available with the package (like USS Transitions).
