[SOLVED] GameObject.Find not working on Android!?!

Hey guys,
I have some scripts, in which the Start() contains some important variables which are initialised by using Gameobject.Find(). It happens perfectly in the editor, but when I deploy on mobile, it does not work as expected. All the errors point to the Find() lines, when I checked in the adb logcat. What could be wrong???

 

Does it have to do something with the scene not being fully loaded on Android, since I am using Async loading?

 

I haven't used async loading myself, but you could try using log viewer

which is free and basically lets you see your console on a build on tablets. Logcat is a great tool, but I find log viewer is a good first step to tracking down what might be going on.

When you say it's not working as expected, is it just returning null and thus not finding anything? Or is it something else?

 

It throws NullReferenceException. Can it be from incomplete loading of the scene?
I will try that plug in though. Thanks!

 

Hmmmm, well I tried that plug-in, it proved the same thing again. Instead of using Gameobject.Find, i used another 3rd party tool to find the gameobjects, but it seems even it has trouble to find the gameobjects! This is what I used

I am now going to try just loading the scene directly, not with async.

 

Try putting the Gameobject.Find functions in Void Awake()

See if this changes anything

 

I later realised that some of my objects were tagged as EditorOnly. Made them untagged, still the same problem.

I will try this now, although I doubt it will change anything.

 

Nope, this did not fix it.

 

OK, solved it. The GameObjects I wanted to find were parented under a gameObject which was tagged 'EditorOnly'. Damn oversight. Also, if it were not for a random article I read yesterday, wouldn't know that objects tagged EditorOnly are excluded in the build. Phew!

 

I met the same problem, but the tag is default "Player" , cant find by tag in awake() on android platform
