Submitting assets caused: Building Asset Bundles requires etc. error

Unity Engine
1

Update:
I got an answer from the devs, there are two workarounds:

  1. Downgrade to 4.2 and submit using that.
  2. Do not select any asset as a Main Asset, this way no live previews will be generated, and thus no need for Asset Bundles.

Building Asset Bundles requires Unity PRO UnityEditorInternal.AssetStoreToolUtils:BuildAssetStoreAssetBundle(Object, String) AssetBundler4:CreateBundle(Object, String) MainAssetsUtil:CreateBundle(String) AssetStorePackage:UploadAssetBundles() AssetStorePackage:m_29(String) cAnonStorey6:<>m6(AssetStoreResponse) AssetStoreClient:m_1A(Pending) System.Collections.Generic.List1:RemoveAll(Predicate1) AssetStoreClient:Update() UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions()

This message was dropped on me 4 times after struggling to upload a 300mb pack at 40kbps for the forth time. I read that it can occur if you use a PDF file as main asset, which I don’t even have in my asset package.

Previously when this occured, starting a new scene, deleting the camera, selecting nothing then resubmitting a package worked. I tried it 4 times now, no joy.

After wasting 2 days on that, I read that a complete wipe or a downgrading can help, so I tried 4 previous versions, down to 3.5.7 (which outright crashed), and the asset tool started blocking me out.

Now I can not log in with my account to the asset tool anymore. It works everywhere on the sites, I can even see my publisher site, but I can’t submit anything since it drops me off without any error messages upon logging in.

I created a second account which works with the same unity, same asset tool plugin, on same machine. So I tried to log in with old account, and it still not works.

Then I linked the new account to the old one on the publisher site, and tried to log in with it, and it was dropping me off.

I then dislinked (disjoined?) the two accounts and the empty one works again, the old one still drops me off. I even tried to change the password, no joy.

Update: I can log in now, trying to submit.

I tried to upload again, same error.

Do you own Unity Pro (or have atleast the Pro Trial still available to use)?

Hi,
No, I have never owned, nor activated trial period for Unity Pro.

4.2 does this:

Funny thing, it wrote that submission was succesfull. Mail recieved, I hope for the best.
