Simple question,

I have made a dll that uses MessagePack (from nuget). Unfortunately it seems you cannot just drop the MessagePack dll directly into unity as it generates a bunch of errors. I was trying to find the best way to add message pack binaries to unity when I noticed that there is a unitypackage file that adds all the source code to the unity project. This, however is useless to me as my external library (my dll) contains a reference to MessagePack.

In the documentation, the author suggests using a shared project for the messages. If I use the attributes in the MessagePack namespace in my external library, then I need to have a reference to MessagePack.dll. Dropping the dll into my unity project generates all kinds of errors... Sort of a catch 22...

Any idea how I should go about this?

How do you expect us to help you when you don't even post those error messages? – Turbo J Jun 04 '18 at 11:03
What version of unity are you using? – buffalo94 Jun 04 '18 at 13:40
@buffalo94 2018.1.2.f1 – Matthew Goulart Jun 05 '18 at 00:45
@TurboJ `unloading broken assembly.. this assembly can cause crashes in the runtime` is the main error. all of the others are side-effects of this one. In any case, there are too many to post here. 999+ – Matthew Goulart Jun 05 '18 at 00:47
Make sure the dll doesn't use incompatible API. You said there is a unitypackage why not using it and then compile it in a empty project that will produce a dll based on Unity .Net compatibility Level – buffalo94 Jun 05 '18 at 09:18
