We get the following error on Unity 2018.3.12f when first opening a project, after deleting the Library folder. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to track the problem? The log does not include any helpful information.

System.InvalidOperationException: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

That crash log smells like maybe it was during the offer to update your API usages.

ASSUMING you are using source control, and that you have committed everything necessary to source control, try deleting various source code and/or DLL code from your project and reopening Unity.

If the problem goes away, then use source control to selectively restore folders or files of your work, giving control back to Unity between each step and seeing which script might be causing the above error.

This might not help, given that the API updater might not even trigger until you get a clean compile, but it might net you some intel.
