No .NET 4.x in player settings

Unity Engine
1

I don’t have the option to choose .NET 4.x in the player settings, yet an asset I want to integrate requires it.

I am using 2021.2 on MacOS

What am I missing? Got to install some .NET SDK or some Unity package? And if so, which (there’s no .NET 4.x download on .NET Downloads (Linux, macOS, and Windows))

In Unity 2021.2 .NET 4.x Api Compatability Level was renamed to .NET Framework.

Off-topic: in fact old name .NET 4.x is kinda incorrect because there never was any .NET 4.x. the right name for it was .NET Framework 4.x even in pre .NET/.NET Core era

That is… more than confusing. Especially because the official documentation still says 4.x - Unity - Manual: .NET profile support

This may be what you are looking for. I couldn’t find .net 4.x sdk, but this “Framework” version says it is used for application development. Sorry if this thread is necroed by this response, but I think a possible answer should be posted here since it was the first thing I found on my Google search. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851

I use Unity on MacOS too, and I find answer to your question in Unity documentation (Configuration part) below: Unity - Manual: macOS player settings
Hope this will be helpful!

I just saw this, is very strange decision to be named as a lower than v2.0 version tbh
