4.6 iOS 64-bit beta

Hi Lucas.

Any news on sockets? I would be glad to get any little information when we will get it.

 

Work is still underway but getting close to something shippable. As said, there are 2 people working on it and the code is complex + prone to deadlocks that are hard to reproduce. If nothing shows up anymore, we might be able to get it in soon.

 

Great, and thank you for the update.

 

Also looking forward to the socket support.
Related: I tested 4.6.2p2 with a native socket lib and couldn't get that to connect for some reason. It doesn't crash however. Case 672047.

 

Hello, I found a bug in 4.6.2p2 IL2CPP iOS: Delegates call wrong functions.
I can demonstrate it in this small project.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. interface ITest {
4.     void Test1();
5. }
6.  
7. public class TestScript : MonoBehaviour, ITest {
8.     public void Test1() {}
9.     protected virtual void Test2() {}
10.  
11.     void Start () {
12.         ITest t = this;
13.         System.Action a = t.Test1;
14.         Debug.Log(a.Method.Name);
15.     }
16. }

This is the console output:

Code (CSharp):

1. Equals
2. Replacements.Attribute:CheckParameters(Object, Type)
3. UnityEngine.Debug:Internal_Log(Int32, String, Object)
4. UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
5. TestScript:Start()
6. Replacements.Attribute:CheckParameters(Object, Type)
7. (Filename: /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/iPhonePlayer-armv7-il2cppGenerated/UnityEngineDebug.cpp Line: 56)

Is it a known problem?
Thank's a lot!

 

Hi Josh.

In what version (4.6.3 or 4.6.3p1) you plan to add IL2CPP support of Parse and Facebook Unity plugin ?

Thanks!

 

@JoshPeterson: I saw the IL2CPP fixes the basis for submissions to the App Store and Metal more as "nice to have".
I think we also encounter the issue @Ges reports up there. Case 672047 gets some callbacks in code that should not even be in the project.

 

In Unity 4.6.3p2 I get the error "You are using Unity iPhone Basic. You are not allowed to remove the Unity splash screen from your game" when trying to run on iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 (not on ipad air or ipad mini). Even thought the splash screens are included in the xCode projecT.

I get them when building with both compilers (il2cpp and mono).

 

With 4.6.2p2, I found an exception when calling DateTime.ToUniversalTime & DateTime.ToLocalTime with IL2CPP enabled. This exception will only be thrown on 32bit device (like iPad Mini) when the value is close to DateTime.MinValue. It causes problem to my JSON parser when serializing or deserializing DateTime fields.

I have filed bug 672199 for it (http://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?672199_ofpebifiacdhmo6t)

Following is the code snippet that can repro this issue and call stack of the exception.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. DateTime d; // d is initialized with DateTime.MinValue (01/01/0001 00:00:00)
3. d.ToLocalTime();
4. d.ToUniversalTime();
5.

The HandleRef bug is not new. It was reported (Case 667779) weeks ago. Do you have an estimation about when it will be solved? It is totally blocking us. And the workaround is not easy at all (and not safe...)

Thanks!

 

What's the largest file size you guys have been able to get up and running on IL2CPP---on a 32 bit device---not a 64 bit but a 32 bit device? Many of our players have not updated to 64 bit yet but it looks like we are going to have to cut them out.

3d RPG games run into the hundreds of megabytes and that's my problem right now. I could take a turn at making just 2d apps but I invested a lot of money in the asset store for 3d graphics which I try to put to good use.

Any help coming soon on getting the built app size down? Reading other threads scattered throughout the forum I'm not the only one having a problem. My project is an RPG game of 4.7 gigabytes. I'm holding off going back to IL2CPP while things are still problem-ridden.

I reverted to Unity 4.6.2 but using Mono to retest my new file right now. I've done everything I can to keep my file size down. I redid a lot of my terrains and levels to make them more compact. I don't mind that our project has to be retested by our beta testers. I just want to get it uploaded to Apple at some point.

I have a horrible feeling the file size is going to be very large if I go back to IL2CPP and my past experience with a large file size is that it will crash on devices that are not 64 bit.

Our Wizzard Island app that we made with Unity last year and released is 258 mb.

I shudder to think what the file size of our new app will be. The Omber on my device without IL2CPP is 358 megabytes using Unity 6.2 no 64 bit support. And having rebuilt Omber to cut the file size down, I'm not even half finished putting it in.

 

@JoshPeterson is there any progress about case 667695? We're waiting the fix to publish our game =/

 

Latest version 4.6.2p2 fixed my problems with game, but size of game increased 50mb+ I know this was going to happen but any optimisation coming in future builds to try and reduce package size?

 

Hey @JoshPeterson sorry I'm posting in multiple places, but I'm also waiting on metal rendering to get fixed to publish the game. 4.6.2p2 is completely unstable for my project.

Case #672232.
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/weird-metal-crashes-4-6-2p2.297960/

Additionally I forgot to mention two bugs you can check in the project I sent:
1. The 'next' and 'prev' buttons located inside "uGui/inventory canvas/Inventory Bg/Character Sheet" have become unresponsive as of 4.6.2p1. Any button i create that overlaps the background is now unresponsive.
2. You can also use this project to compile and recreate this thread:
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/4-6-2p2-ios-arc-restrictions-compiler-error.297802/

 

Hi,

since 4.6.2p2 I can't connect XCode to my running apps. I get the following failure:
Could not launch <appname>
process launch failed: failed to get task for process <processnumber>

It only happens with IL2CPP builds. Mono builds works fine for me.

Best regards,
David

 

Thanks for your reply! I tried Unity 4.6.2p2, but exception message is the only thing that changed (SecurePlayerPrefs.GenerateMD5 error gone, SecurePlayerPrefs.GetString error came as I remember). If you need new logs, I can send you.

By the way, I can still upload the game binary to iTunes Connect without any error or warning as Mono build. We're testing the game in TestFlight for couple of months. There aren't any problem so far (I tested yesterday), but can we send the game to Apple for review to publish (as Mono build, not IL2CPP)?

 

@JoshPeterson i'll try that now, but i thought for some reason you had to use IL2CPP to compile in x64 universal and take advantage of metal, was i totally wrong about that?

Also, can we append Case #672232 somehow to address those other bugs? Is there any reason you want me to generate another case and send over another massive 3gb+ file?

 

@JoshPeterson ok so good news(??) - compiling in mono and forcing metal rendering did not create any crashes (yet) in any of the places where i was experiencing problems previously.

On the iPad, i can successfully launch the game, go through the cutscenes with no crash.
On the iPhone, the main menu now launches properly and does not freeze.

 

Here's something thats only come about in the latest patched version of Unity (4.6.2p2), this worked fine in 4.6.2p1.

Seems that any SaveASync() in the Parse library now causes this crash.

 

@JoshPeterson thanks for that, it's great news for us! Any progress on the HandleRef issue?

In the bug email, you've asked about submitting a report for the coherent editor crash. I've replied directly to the bug email, but just in case that doesn't work I'll post here as well:

"As for the editor crash, I believe there is already a bug submitted: (669336 here: http://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?669336_25mbv0nbgics37g6 ).

If you still need me to submit it, I'd be happy to."

 

Any news on the Case 670422 about ExternalCall method not implemented ?

I can't even build and test my project because of this dependency in the DLL of the backend i use (Cross platform DLL), and i think this method is targeted for Webplayer initially.

As far as i know, ExternalCall is not even used on iOS, can't you just implement this as a dummy method for iOS ? What will you do about this, and have you an ETA please ?

Thank you !

 

I had the same problem when using IL2CPP and that patch. My app would launch and close and I'd get that message but I couldn't connect XCode to my app.

I can't help more with this than to say I had the same problem as I've reverted to 6.2 no patch and mono for the time being.

 

No, also attach to process won't work.

Edit: bug report was sended (672657)

 

I tried that too and couldn't. Again I can't submit a bug report because I reverted to 6.2. But I had the same experience. Was using the same patch I think at the time.

 

Hi,

We seem to be running into a strange bug when trying to deserialize a long value. The number is 64 bit number (eg, 1389483534695139), but when deserialized this number is being treated as a 32 bit value (eg 1484896995). I've submitted a bug report with Case #672678.

Could someone look into this ASAP please? Note that I'm using Unity 4.6.2p2 and that the Mono version works just fine.

 

don't know if already reported.. but i have this error with 4.6.2p2. Our games need System.Drawing.dll to compile zxing source code library (used for QR Code Reading and Writing). With standard compiler (not il2cpp) i don't have any problem.

Ok ! Since our project does not need to be published before June, i think we can have the time to see how you will fix this, and also i think our project will benefit from upcoming IL2CPP improvements/features/bug corrections !

If we can at least being able to build and test on iOS on mid-april at the latest, it would be fine.

Thanks for the answer !

 

Thanks Lucas!

 

Hi,

I just upgraded to 4.6.2p2 to build with IL2CPP and get the following issues in XCode in Bulk_Mono.WebBrowser_0.cpp:

Not sure what other info I can give that would help?

 

@Lotti
I also get this exact same error when I include System.Drawing.dll

 

Hi,

First of all, SslStream not working is really blocking us, and out game is due to be submitted at the beginning of March, so I really hope you'll have some breakthrough on that soon

Second, I am getting very weird stack traces from exceptions when compiled with IL2CPP. There seems to be entries in there that shouldn't be. It is very confusing when trying to figure out the cause of a problem.

The picture below is grabbed from the xcode console. The lines framed with red are NOT methods called by methods immediately below them.

Especially the JsonSchemaResolver line puzzles me, because there is NO json related code anywhere near that process. I have no idea what Level2Map is, and it is NOT referenced by my code.

If it helps, this particular code does not run in the main thread, but one started in the FetchResponseAsync method using a delegate created with a lambda expression.

Everything above the AuthenticateAsClient line is internal to the library.



Cheers

Lars
