[Android] [Entities] Build fails with the error “Asset has disappeared while building player to 'globalgamemanagers.assets' - path '', instancedID '-xxxxxx'“ when building
Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached project "ReproProj" with the Android Platform
2. Open the “/Assets/_Scenes/Game.unity” Scene
3. Press Build in File > Build Settings
4. Repeat step 3 for 6 times
Expected result: Build succeeds all 6 times
Actual result: At some point build fails and the error “Asset has disappeared while building player to 'globalgamemanagers.assets' - path '', instancedID '-xxxxxx'“ appears in the Console window
Reproducible with: 1.0.10 (2022.3.4f1), 1.0.11 (2022.3.4f1)
Testing environment: Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2
Notes:
- Might be reproducible with Windows Standalone Platform
- Most of the time it takes more than 6 times to reproduce the issue. It reproduces at random moments
- After getting the error it usually takes another attempt to build successfully
- It will reproduce more often after changing reference at prefab and triggering baking at dots project or compiling code than building the Player

Every third build I have to completely shut down the unity and open again. This is ridiculous.

Always happens on 2022.3.15 after building the addressables. Each time after that I need to restart Unity Editor

Thanks for all the reports folks. I think I have a repro and a handle on what's going on. Please stay posted.

I turned off "parallel import"
editor -> project settings -> editor -> parallel import
it helped in my case

Unity 2022.3.16's known issues list says:
"DOTS: [Android] [Entities] Build fails with the error “Asset has disappeared while building player to 'globalgamemanagers.assets' - path '', instancedID '-xxxxxx'“ when building (UUM-41830)"
I want to highlight that this happens even without DOTS. We also get this error while building but we are not using DOTS at all.

Same here On 2022.3.14f1. Build fail sometimes, and next build works ok. But our build process took about 1 hour and 30 minutes, so I would happy if this issue will be resolved.

Same issue here, our builds fail exactly 50% of the time which is ridiculously annoying.

Also, we are not using DOTS at all.

We are also encountering this issue. We use M1 Macs to build and it happens seemingly on all machines, and only a complete reboot of the computer resolves this issue. We produce builds for various build targets and the issue seems to be agnostic of what the target platform is -- once it starts happening only a reboot of the machine helps.
Could Unity be leaking file handles in some process it depends on?

Same here with 2022.3.12f. Happens maybe every 3rd time I am building. Need to exit the project, reload and rebuild.
