Question by Califa · Apr 08, 2015 at 03:27 AM · build-errornullreferenceexceptionplugindllexternal-libraries

External library error without external libraries?

I get these three errors every time I attempt to build my project:

 NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

 UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()

 Error building Player: Extracting referenced dlls failed.

The most exotic thing I'm doing is using UnityEngine.Audio, so I've no idea how or why this is happening.

I can build other projects without issue.

Did you use using System.Collections.Generic; ?

I was trying to use System.Diagnostics.Contracts at one point, but that didn't work. Is it still being referenced?

I am using System.Collections.Generic. Whats up with that? Is that now allowed on Unity?

Are you sure you didn't forget to assign something in one of your components? I got that error when public adding GameObjects to scripts and then manipulating them without assigning any GameObject in the Unity Editor inspector
