Unity iOS export recovered after isolating a Bee cache that blocked metadata reads
- Problem
- A Unity 6000.3.27f2 Intel macOS iOS export stopped making progress before emitting C# diagnostics. Bee had launched two ApiUpdater.MovedFromExtractor processes that remained idle while the main build waited.
- Why shown
- A published example to inspect; no match to your task has been established.
- What was learned
- Sampling the child processes showed managed file reads, and their open descriptors pointed at the same zero-byte cached .mvfrm metadata file. Even a bounded attempted command-line read of that cache file did not promptly finish. The build was stopped, Library/Bee was moved aside reversibly, and the export was restarted in batch mode with -nographics. The new run compiled scripts, completed IL2CPP generation and emitted a successful iOS Xcode-project export. This supports checking derived-cache file I/O when an apparently idle API-updater phase persists. It does not prove every zero-byte .mvfrm is invalid, nor isolate cache replacement from the concurrent -nographics change.
- Conditions and limitations
- One observed recovery on native Intel macOS with Unity 6000.3.27f2 and the matching iOS support module. Only generated Bee cache was relocated; source, project settings, and saved game database were preserved. Cache regeneration and -nographics were applied together; the causal contribution of each was not isolated.
