Scripts working during Unity Runtime in Editor, Not in Build

Question

So, I've got this system up and running in, works perfectly in the editor, no errors, nothing. And of course, getting ready for release, I spin up a build, then, out of no-where it doesn't work, not at all. And the whole time the build is up and running, I'm getting the following error.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at UnityEngine.Rendering.DebugManager.UpdateActions () [0x0001b] in C:\Users\harri\source\repos\The Lost Keep\Library\PackageCache\[email protected]\Runtime\Debugging\DebugManager.Actions.cs:244 at UnityEngine.Rendering.DebugUpdater.Update () [0x0002a] in C:\Users\harri\source\repos\The Lost Keep\Library\PackageCache\[email protected]\Runtime\Debugging\DebugUpdater.cs:180

It doesn't appear to have any association with any scripts that I wrote, yet scripts I wrote just don't work.

Any tips on how to fix it?

I think this is the know longstanding issue that's still not fixed. Try adding a simple script where in the Awake() you call DebugManager.instance.enableRuntimeUI = false; and see if the problem disappears. — Bart

Yea, that works. Just another of the Unity's skeletons...

I received this error on iOS. In Unity Editor console all worked fine. Turned out that there was a new GameObject in the hierarchy list (at the bottom) called [DebugUpdater] with a script with the same name attached to it. The script is located in Packages > Core RP Library > Runtime > Debugging > DebugUpdater

I got rid of the object and things cleared up. Not sure how it showed up in the first place.
