[Android] Build fails with an error when using a Custom Editor Window to Build the Player

Mobile

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached "AndroidPermissions-TestProject.zip" Project
2. Press Build > Build for iOS in Unity Top Menu
3. Observe errors in the console

Expected Behavior: The Android player builds as expected
Actual Behavior: Errors are thrown and the build fails

Reproducible with: 2020.2.0f1, 2021.1.0a9

Could not test on:
- 2018.4 - the menu item does not appear.
- 2019.4 and 2020.1 - got an error "'Permission' does not contain a definition for 'RequestUserPermissions'"

Note:
- Error:
"Type '[Assembly-CSharp]permissionTestScript' has an extra field 'tMarker' of type 'UnityEngine.Transform' in the player and thus can't be serialized
UnityEditor.BuildPipeline:BuildPlayer (UnityEditor.BuildPlayerOptions)
BuildPlayerExample:MyBuild () (at Assets/Editor/building.cs:18)"
- This does not seem to reproduce on iOS
- It seems that this case might be specific to this project as it does not reproduce on every project

  1. Resolution Note (2021.1.X):

    The build fails because active build target in editor is iOS and some scripts have code behind UNITY_ANDROID define and that code affect serialization. When building player, it is required for active build target to be the same as the target you are building for.
    You can switch build target programatically:
    EditorUserBuildSettings.SwitchActiveBuildTarget(BuildTargetGroup.Android, BuildTarget.Android);

    Additional note: you have to remove destination directory (iOSBuild), otherwise the build will still fail in the very end.
