Hi everyone, my game compiled fine with 5.0.1. But I just upgraded Unity to 5.1.1 and now I’m getting a compile error when I try to build for Windows Store (compiles fine for Windows x86). Is anyone else seeing thiss upgrading to 5.1.1?

Does that happen with empty project as well? In any case, could you submit a bug with repro attached, something went wrong with new Networking stuff :confused:

It does not happen with an empty project. So something went weird with the migration with 5.1.1 with my old project. Unfortunately I can’t just submit a bug with the repro, this project is huge. I’ve had nothing but problems with my Windows Store build. There’s some strangeness with a memory leak that only happens on the Windows Phone build of a universal app under 5.0.2. So I upgraded and now this. At least it would compile before. I’m thinking I just won’t bother with the WS build. Clearly Unity just doesn’t support it well.

You could try 5.0.3p1 patch release from Download Archive, maybe it fixes that leak you’re talking about

5

I would but I’ve already upgraded to 5.1.1. Think I’ll just wait until Windows 10. Hopefully you guys will have it all sorted by then

Same problem for me too… :frowning:

FIXED
Hi,
I’m using Unity 5.1.2 and I’ve got the same problem as above.
Untill I was using Unity 5.0.1 no problem occurred while exporting, but after Unity update, I had the same problem as you.
Here it’s the fix:
If you look inside YOUR_PROJECT/Library folder, you’ll see there’s a directory called “ScriptAssemblies”. You should delete all its content. On next build Unity will detect that the deleted files are missing and will ask you to “try again”. Click on “try again” and the new files will be correctly rebuild, and post process tasks will work! :wink:
