Wwise integration packages don't work with Unity 5

Question

I've done the following steps:

1. Create a new project in Unity 5

2. Create a new Wwise project next to the Assets folder

3. Imported the WwiseUnityIntegration_v2014.1.4_Mac.unitypackage

Now my console is full of errors like this:

Multiple plugins with the same name 'aksoundengine' (found at 'Assets/Wwise/Deployment/Plugins/Mac_new/Release/AkSoundEngine.bundle' and 'Assets/Wwise/Deployment/Plugins/Mac_new/Profile/AkSoundEngine.bundle'). That means one or more plugins are set to be compatible with Editor. Only one plugin at the time can be used by Editor.

There seems to be 3 versions of the aksoundengine, release, debug and profile. What is the recommended solution for fixing this situation?

Answer 1

This is caused by a Unity issue. Unity 5 changed the way plugins are handled, and we are using this new method to manage our various plugins. However, building a .unitypackage on a Mac erases all the proper settings, so importing this package afterwards generates errors like the one you see. (See the bug report here: http://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?678039_0771243g40d7n4oc )

This error can be safely ignored, and you can go through the installation process. During the setup, the integration will properly install the plugins, and the errors will go away.
