Resources.LoadAsync cannot be used in iOS
I want to load resources async when my game is running. So I decide to use Resources.LoadAsync.
Actually, It works well in Editor Mode. But when I get to build iOS, one error comes out.
I tried to delete this sentence Resources.LoadAsync and it built well. Then I added this sentence and this error came out again.
I tried to build Android from my PC, and it's OK. I can also run it in Editor Mode. This error only occurs when building iOS.
I tried to upgrade my Unity from 4.5.4 to 4.5.5, but this error is still there.
I find nobody who met the same problem before, so I have to get there and ask you guys.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.
my code is like this:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
void Start() {
StartCoroutine(LoadTexture());
}
IEnumerator LoadTexture() {
GameObject go = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
ResourceRequest request = Resources.LoadAsync<Texture2D>("glass");
yield return request;
go.renderer.material.mainTexture = request.asset;
}
}
and when I build iOS, this error comes out:
Cross compilation job Assembly-CSharp.dll failed. UnityEngine.UnityException: Failed AOT cross compiler: /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/PlaybackEngines/iOSSupport/Tools/OSX/mono-xcompiler --aot=full,asmonly,nodebug,static,outfile="Assembly-CSharp.dll.s" "Assembly-CSharp.dll" current dir : /Users/xxxx/Desktop/ParkourX/Parkour/Temp/StagingArea/Data/Managed Env: Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render = '/tmp/launch-CawMnu/Render' LOGNAME = 'xxxx' __CHECKFIX1436934 = '1' MONO_PATH = '/Users/xxxx/Desktop/ParkourX/Parkour/Temp/StagingArea/Data/Managed' TMPDIR = '/var/folders/bn/ts33w4bs0sz9gtnyqwxf99_c0000gn/T/' USER = 'xxxx' SSH_AUTH_SOCK = '/tmp/launch-iXaAd5/Listeners' GC_DONT_GC = 'yes please' SHELL = '/bin/bash' __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING = '0x1F5:0:0' GAC_PATH = '/Users/xxxx/Desktop/ParkourX/Parkour/Temp/StagingArea/Data/Managed' HOME = '/Users/xxxx' PATH = '/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin' result file exists: False.

If I delete this two sentences, like this below, it works through building iOS:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
void Start() {
StartCoroutine(LoadTexture());
}
IEnumerator LoadTexture() {
GameObject go = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
/*ResourceRequest request = Resources.LoadAsync<Texture2D>("glass");
yield return request;*/
yield return null;
//go.renderer.material.mainTexture = request.asset;
}
}
As I said on the forum, I wonder if you do not have iOS Pro. LoadAsync needs Pro.

Hi, today I had the same problem and I have figured out that if I use non-generic version of the method LoadAsync, i.e. call Resources.LoadAsync("glass"), this fixes the problem and doesn't produce the cross-compilation error. Also note, that most probably you have stripping level set in your build settings, because I have this error only when stripping is something different from "Disabled".
