Null ref during build

oravrahamy

Hi,

When building my project I'm getting the following exception:

UnityEngine.MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'Mesh' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.
Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.

I'm using spine-unity-4.0-2022-01-19.unitypackage with com.esotericsoftware.spine.urp-shaders-4.0-2019.1.
This error repeats for all of the SkeletonAnimation components that are used in the project.

Any idea how I can prevent that?

Thanks

We are sorry for the troubles! Unfortunately we could not yet reproduce this issue. Could you please send us a minimal Unity project that still shows this error? You can send it to contact@esotericsoftware.com as a zip package, briefly mentioning this forum thread URL so that we know the context.
