Unity 4.2.2 Crashes When Switching Target Platform to Android

Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I have upgraded recently from Unity 4.1.2f to Unity 4.2.2f.
I’m running on Windows 8 64-bit with Android SDK Tools r21.

After the upgrade, whenever I switch my target platform to Android and try to do a build, Unity crashes. It crashes before starting the build process. The crash happens during the process of switching the project’s assets to the Android target platform.

I had a look at the Editor.log file, I found it having some information related to the crash that happened. However, I don’t understand why it crashed. Here’s some of the contents:

I solved this problem by making Unity ask which project to open on start up.

You can do so by going: Edit > Preferences > General > Always Show Project Wizard

This prevented Unity from trying to automatically open the project and hence trying to convert all the assets to the target platform. After that, I restarted Unity and opened a new project. The switching to target platform completed and then I reopened the existing project and all went fine!
