Solving Win32Exception

You may encounter this error: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (2): No such file or directory while building the project if you are using macOS. If it's the case, follow these steps:

  • Install python 2.7
  • Activate it in your project environment by running pyenv global 2.7.18 (to make it the default version everywhere) or pyenv local 2.7.18 (to make only the current directory use this version)
  • Create a folder called Editor under Assets under Project window. Inside Editor, create a C# file called PreBuildProcessing and use the code below
  • Restart and build your project

Please refer to this link for more details:

 using UnityEditor;
 using UnityEditor.Build;
 using UnityEditor.Build.Reporting;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class PreBuildProcessing : IPreprocessBuildWithReport
 {
     public int callbackOrder => 1;
     public void OnPreprocessBuild(BuildReport report)
     {
         System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("EMSDK_PYTHON", "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python");
     }
 }

Solving the Newtonsoft Error

Install JSON.NET to fix: The type or namespace name 'Newtonsoft' could not be found error. After downloading the package you will need to import it into your project.

The steps for importing this package are as follows: Window -> Package Manager -> My Assets -> JSON.NET For Unity -> Import
