Hi,
May I ask what is the solution then to deploy unity app to hololens ? Or is it just that Unity is not compatible with Hololens anymore ?

- Custom Property and Function Labels at the top of the Graph Inspector go out of bounds and are not truncated when String is long

- UnsafeUtility.Malloc uses 4MB when creating an empty NativeQueue
Resolution Note (2019.3.X):
After discussing further with Microsoft, we are not going to be able to fix this. They have been unable to provide us with an alternate API we can use here. It seems the previous API we are using is no longer supported on HoloLens.
