Problem with building unity project and exporting to ios project - ios

I'm not a unity specialist, I'm doing ios development. But I need to build and export the unity model to my project. In the unit itself, I see a mozhel, it is animated, that is, everything seems to work, but when exporting, I get the following errors. Tell me what you need to do for a successful export, thanks in advance!
Problem detected while opening the Scene file: 'Assets/Scenes/debug.unity'.
Check the following logs for more details.

The first errors suggest to me that you inserted prefabs in your scene and later removed them in your assets.
Take a closer look at this. In the Inspector these should be marked in red.
As far as I know, you can only build for iOS if you are on one of these devices yourself. If you are not, I assume that you cannot build it.

I searched but couldn't find the solution or known issues.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
My environment
macOS Monterey 12.5
Unity Editor 2021.3.10f1 Silicon
Well... I found the solution and will leave it here for someone who faces the same issue in the future.
You just need to remove Il2cppBuildCache folder under Library.(ref)
I think this issue was happening because I moved the project to another folder.
Hello here's the solution if you change or move the project.
Remove Il2cppBuildCache folder (Project/Library/Il2cppBuildCache)
Mostly this issue occurs when we change the project location or moved the project to another location.

Visual Studio for Mac: Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxx...)

I'm a noob for Visual Studio for Mac. My intention was to check out Xamarin development. My Visual Studio version is 7.3 (Build 799) Community Edition, I've installed on a MB Pro 2015 Mid model.
When I try to create a project in following way,
Multiplatform
App
Games (iOS, Mac)
SpriteKit Game (2D)
And then proceeded with the steps until pressing the create button giving project name and all it just gives me the following Alert and I cannot create the project.
Updated:
I found following Log by going to "Open Log Directory" menu item.
ERROR [2017-12-14 00:46:07Z]: The project could not be created

Has anybody out there encountered this kind of an issue? Any solutions or workarounds you already have worked out?
So the problem seems to be that if one of the project types used by the project template is unsupported then an unknown project type is created with an empty flavor guid. This then causes an exception in the Android designer.
In this case the Xamarin.iOS project type was considered to be unsupported since Xamarin.iOS was not installed.
This seems to be a bug in Visual Studio for Mac. Either the project template should not attempt to create a Xamarin.iOS project if it is not supported, or the unknown project should be created with no flavor guids instead of using an empty string.

I am wondering what on earth might be causing the error, as I have tried multiple solutions to avoid the error and it often turns up in such random ways.
Last time I got the error it occurred as follows:
I had a project with only two Activity-files and two Layout files.
I created a gridview in the other layout and tested it on the Android emulator -> all was working well.
I resized the gridview and tested the app with the emulator -> error mentioned above occurred.
I deleted the solution, restored a manual backup saved in an other location, and tested it -> it was working.
I repeated the procedure with the gridview -> error occurred.
Now, as I deleted the project and tried to restore the backup again, even the backup did not work anymore. I tried to build it, then clean it and build but every attempt to build it resulted now as an error.
I seem to get mystic errors from time to time ( like Emulator image stopped working after all I did was just add a button with the designer) but every time troubleshooting eventually comes down to this error and I have to scrap the project. I have been working with Xamarin now 18 hours this weekend and 4 hours have been coding and the rest trying to fix the never-ending errors.
I am using MacBook Pro and have tried running the solution from the default directory and external drive.
So in a nutshell: What causes the error mentioned above and can it be fixed or at least avoided?
I tried to google ( long and hard) but could not find a solution that would be of any help.
Ps. Sorry if the post was not correct, it is my first. Would not have posted in the first place but I am desperate.
Thank you for your patience to read all the way to here.

Unity 5.1.1 error : dll is not allowed to be included or could not be found

I'm new to unity and upgrading one of my app using Unity 5.1.1. It was working fine with 4.6.2, but I'm getting following error after upgradation
ArgumentException: The Assembly UnityEditor is referenced by iGUI ('Assets/lib/igui/Runtime/iGUI.dll'). But the dll is not allowed to be included or could not be found.

I tried change compatibility from ".net 2.0 subset" to ".net 2.0", but that didn't worked.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
I had a similar problem when trying to build the game including a custom DLL, although my error message has been slightly different.
ArgumentException: The Assembly UnityEditor is referenced by Namespace.In.MyCustom.Dll ('Assets/Dlls/MyCustom.dll'). But the dll is not allowed to be included or could not be found.
UnityEditor.AssemblyHelper.AddReferencedAssembliesRecurse (System.String assemblyPath, System.Collections.Generic.List`1 alreadyFoundAssemblies, System.String[] allAssemblyPaths, System.String[] foldersToSearch, System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2 cache, BuildTarget target) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/AssemblyHelper.cs:156)
UnityEditor.AssemblyHelper.FindAssembliesReferencedBy (System.String[] paths, System.String[] foldersToSearch, BuildTarget target) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/AssemblyHelper.cs:194)
UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()
My DLL references UnityEditor.dll, which is not to be included in any distribution build of unity games.
I solved this issue by selecting MyCustom.dll in Unity and stop including it in the build process by unchecking 'Any Platform' (see picture).
In case you referenced functionality of UnityEditor.dll in one of your GameObjects, you might want to try platform dependent compilation.

Troubleshooting MSBuild failures

I am trying to convert my shop from using VSS to TFS.
Our current codebase consists of a large number of Visual Studio 2008 solutions and I've noticed some of them seem to cause MSBuild to fail, but I cannot figure out why. The actual solutions themselves and the projects they hold build correctly, but the overall build still fails.
The ErrorsAndWarnings.txt and Release.txt file show no errors, just warnings (various little things in the code we need to clean up)
The BuildLog.txt file is, of course, enormous and has tons and tons of difficult-to-comprehend text in it. As best I can tell though, when it gets to one of these SLN files that give it problems, MSBuild just flat out crashes and dies.

I know pasting incredibly verbose error messages in Stack Overflow is lame but the core thing to take from the above is MSBuild is crashing and I can't figure out why. It gives the usual "Object reference not set..." error, which is pretty much universally useless when it's not your code or program you're troubleshooting.
I see that it's referencing TeamFoundation.Build.targets. I look up that file that file but it doesn't really jump out at me what the problem could be. (the line after the comment is the (1008,5) referenced above)

At first I thought this was telling me that one of the items that need to be substituted in the node was missing, but the other solutions which don't have issues have similar/identical setups.
I notice some of the items in the call stack of the MSBuild deal with targets and the issue seems to stem from the TeamFoundation.Build.targets file but I'm stuck as to what to do next to troubleshoot it.
Has anyone run into this before?
I believe the solution file is corrupt, and VS is being more tolerant. (If I remember correctly this crash can be caused by an unmatched curly parenthesis)
If it's feasible, I would recreate the solution file from within VS.

When you said:
The actual solutions themselves and the projects they hold build correctly
do you mean that they build correctly within the IDE, or that you can go to those solution directories on the command line and run 'msbuild foo.proj' or 'msbuild bar.sln'?
Anyway, things I would try are first narrow down the offending solution/project, by telling TFS not to build in parallel, turn off multi-CPU support (e.g. '-maxcpucount:1'), do a binary search by trimming away solutions/projects. Once you get to the offending set, build with the '-v:diag' parameter to get even more details about the state of the MSBuild engine.
Alternately, you can write a small C# app that invokes the MSBuild engine directly and debug that application by catching first chance exceptions and having Reflector handy. See
sample code in MSBuild Engine Class.
Hmmm. You get a NullReferenceException, meaning that one of the parameters into that task is a null when it shouldn't be. Dumb question, but have you set up your TFSBuild.proj file with the solutions you want to build? IE. the stuff you put into the
- Itemgroup.
If you have, I would suggest adding message tasks to the Teambuild targets file just above the failing task to write out diagnostic information, like so:
That should spew some diagnostics info into your buildlog just above the log exerpt you pasted on your next build.
You may want to give the MSBuild-Sidekicks a try. They have a nifty little debugger for MSBuild included and offer a 14-day trial version: http://www.attrice.info/msbuild/
