Not able to build an iOS build. UnusedBytecodeStripper2.exe did not run properly! (599113)

mohitkatariya · September 26, 2015, 9:09am

Hi, I am getting errors while building an iOS build when scripting backend is IL2CPP but it works fine when the scripting backend is Mono2x. This error occurs after I update unity to 5.2.1f1(Personal). I am using iMac and Unity 5.2.1f1(Personal).

You can download the project from this link : Dropbox

Please suggest me how to get rid of these errors.

Thanks.

a1fonzo · September 26, 2015, 5:12pm

I have been having the same error since updating to Unity 5.2. Currently working on identifying and attempting to solve the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

a1fonzo · September 27, 2015, 12:56am

Mohit, are you using any third-party plugins in this Unity Project? If so which ones?

JoshPeterson · September 28, 2015, 11:33am

I wonder if System.Security.Principal.GenericIdentity is being incorrectly stripped from mscorlib.dll. With the Mono scripting backend, is stripped disabled? If so, it may be necessary to use a link.xml file to ensure that the mscorlib.dll assembly is not stripped. You can find some details about how to do this here:

a1fonzo · September 28, 2015, 10:14pm

I found another post with a similar problem that had a valid workaround. I used it and my project is building fine. I was unable to diagnose the exact cause of the problem but this is what solved it.

Change stripping backend from il2cpp to Mono in build settings
Change stripping level to ‘strip byte code’
Revert stripping backend to il2cpp

I can’t find the forum post that describes this workaround but this is what solved the problem.

JoshPeterson · September 29, 2015, 11:09am

@a1fonzo

Did you happen to have the stripping level set to “Use micro mscorlib” in the Mono player settings? If so, then this is a known bug that we have corrected in the latest 5.2 patch release. If not, then we have another, different bug that we need to correct.

echo2300 · November 10, 2015, 6:33am

i happen to have the stripping level set to “use micro mscorlib”, i follow the steps above and solved the problem.

yuwen-lian · November 21, 2015, 8:05pm

Hi I’m also having the similar issue and still cannot solve the problem even after trying the workaround from @a1fonzo

p.s. I’m currently using Unity5.2.1p2

mattSydney · December 3, 2015, 3:32am

I’ having this problem in Unity 4.6.9.f1 I cannot build to ios on any stripping level, even disabled

FaberVi · December 17, 2015, 1:48pm

Same problem. No damn solution!?

ritesh_khokhani · January 22, 2016, 11:13am

@a1fonzo thanks, i followed the above steps and its working fine!

McSwan · March 15, 2016, 10:31am

I got similar error when I tried to run my project in WebGL: I fixed it by:

I found the solution by copy pasting the error into notebook++.

etc.

The ES2 was Easy Save 2. The author had an update. Updated and then the error went away. Others may have a different dll that it has an issue with.

Game-Masons · March 22, 2016, 5:51pm

I had to up my versioning to iOS 8 from iOS 7.

I am having the same issue. I been trying to fix it but still it fails during the Build for WebGL.

Amidst all of this output, the important error message is:

‘System.Void HighlightableObject::InitMaterials()’ in assembly: ‘HighlightingSystem.dll’ —> Mono.Cecil.ResolutionException: Failed to resolve UnityEngine.ClothRenderer

It looks like the UnityEngine.ClothRenderer type is not being found. I’m not entirely sure why. You could have a look at the UnityEngine.dll assembly in ILSpy and see if it has a ClothRenderer type. It may be the case that HighlightingSystem.dll was built with a different version of Unity than you are currently using to build this project.

prabushan · May 11, 2016, 11:47am

Thank You Josh Peterson.

I will check that out.

The project was created in 2013/2014 by another company. The project worked fine with old Web Player but after an updates to the Web Player, there is minor errors in the project.
Now I have the new version of Unity and I was trying to build the project using the WebGL so its works with all the browser without the web player.

I am new to Unity, and I am not familiar with all the settings yet.

GRSimbite · August 10, 2016, 1:26pm

Hi all I had same problem and such steps fixed it:

[I was on iOS platform]

Delete link.xml
switch to other platform
switch back to iOS platform

Above fixed this one for me, hope it will help others.

Christin2015 · August 10, 2016, 2:26pm

THANKS! I have just run into the same issue. Your workaround helped.

Jelmersb · August 15, 2016, 10:36am

For me, just deleting link.xml was enough

mrm831 · September 6, 2016, 7:07pm

Tried mentioned methods above, did not solve problem for me.
