Unity won't start from command line

[Winklehner]

I’m using scripting to let unity automatically generate iOS Assets. Everything is running fine in Unity 4.3.1, but every 4-5 time Unity won’t start anymore giving me continuously the error below. The only workaround, is to shortly start Unity normal with GUI, immediately exiting it.

Any suggestions?

[haim96]

did you note this line: “NSDocumentController Info.plist warning: The values of CFBundleTypeRole entries must be ‘Editor’, ‘Viewer’, ‘None’, or ‘Shell’.” ?

maybe the file “Info.plist” became corrupted between runs and running UNITY with gui fix it some how… just maybe. i’m PC user.

try to compere the content of it when it run OK and after you get the error.

Setting the Info.plist to the correct BundleTypeRole makes the warning disappear, but the problem stays the same

Can someone help me find this Info.plist file in Unity 2017.01?
I found one in /Applications/Unity/PlaybackEngines/iOSSupport/Trampoline but this one lacks the BundleTypeRole entry.
