Unity Upgrade 2017.2 and above

Hello Unity Developers,

Recently, I faced few issues with Unity Editor and I hope sharing it will help.

What was I trying to do? Scenario?


  • Upgrading to Unity 2017.2 & Unity 2017.3
  • I was trying to upgrade one of my project from Unity 2017.1.2 version to Unity 2017.2.1f1. On doing so, usually unity automatically updates the obsolete scripts to support new APIs. Once it got updated, I tried to play the game in editor and it worked.

Then, what was the problem?
  • While building the project to UWP application, there were some compile errors where Unity.VR need to be updated to Unity.XR. I fixed those errors, quit unity and tried building again. 
  • Wait, Why did I quit Unity and then built it again? Its because unity has this weird issue, when there are compiler errors. Though I had fixed the errors, on building it again, the errors will not go away. We have to quit unity and then build it, TADA, the error will go away.
  • Now coming back to other issues I faced, when I tried building it again after fixing all obsolete APIs, I had the following error with no proper information:

  •  I also got this error "internal error: Recursion detected while updating scripts" as mentioned here. 

How did I fix it?
  • I tried updating to other patch releases, windows OS, deleted some files(which I was thinking that deleting them would fix the issue) and none worked :(
  • Suddenly the developer within me woke up and checked the "Editor.log" file in Unity's AppData. And there I could find some errors which were not displayed in Unity Console window. Fixing those errors, I was able to build the project for UWP.


So, never trust any console window, especially Unity's!!! 

PS: If you all usually look at editor logs, then I am that one lazy developer who was dependent on Editor console window!

Copying Multiple Content Simaltaneously

We often used to thank   Larry Tesler    for his splendid invention "Cut/Copy/Paste". Think of the world without copy/paste :o :o :o Have you ever tried copying non-sequential content? Ctrl+v will paste the last copied content in the clipboard, whereas ctrl+c copies the content that are selected sequentially   to the clipboard. What if I wanted to copy multiple content from multiple web pages and pasting it in one go, instead of pasting one by one? Or without using paste command copy the multiple content directly to a file? Here is the solution for the Mac Users. [Windows user? Working on it. Will update asap ;) ]   Follow the steps below, which takes less than five minutes and save several minutes ;) 1)     Launch “Automator” 2)     Choose “Utilities” in the left pane 3)     Double Click “Run Shell Script” 4)     The “Run Shell Script” will be added to t...

Separator Inset Problem - iOS 8

                    In iOS8, there is extra space in table view separators by default. It is nothing but the edge inset. To remove the separator edge inset, in iOS 7, custom separator insets can be set in the attributes inspector of the table view. In iOS 8, use the following in the table view controller: //set edge inset zero for default separator -(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath     {     if ([self.tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) {     [self. tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];   }     if ([self. tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {     [self. tableView setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];   }     if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLay...

Percent Escape the reserved Characters in URI

URI encoding need to be done when performing network API calls based on RFC 3986. In order to encode any character, the following native method can be used: [uriString stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters : [ NSCharacterSet URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet ] ] But the above method is not compliant with RFC3986 and it does not encode the reserved characters like "!*'();:@&=+$,/?%#[]". Hence, the following method can be used for percent encoding the specific reserved characters. ((NSString *)CFBridgingRelease(CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(NULL, (__bridge CFStringRef) string, NULL,  CFSTR("!*'();:@&=+$,/?%#[]"), encoding))); }
