Assembly metadata and compilation details

Define metadata for your assemblies.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated 10 days ago
You can define additional metadata for your assemblies and retrieve information on the assemblies included in a project build.

Setting assembly attributes

You can use assembly attributes to set metadata properties for your assemblies. Although not a requirement, it's good practice to define these attributes in a separate file named 
AssemblyInfo.cs
alongside your Assembly Defintion.
For example, the following assembly attributes specify several .NET assembly metadata values and the Unity-defined 
Preserve
 attribute, which affects how unused code is removed from an assembly when you build your project:
[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyCompany("Bee Corp.")][assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyTitle("Bee's Assembly")][assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyCopyright("Copyright 2020.")][assembly: UnityEngine.Scripting.Preserve]

Getting assembly information in build scripts

Use the 
CompilationPipeline
 class to retrieve information about all assemblies built by Unity for a project, including those created based on Assembly Definition assets.
For example, the following script uses the 
CompilationPipeline
class to list all the current Player assemblies in a project:
using UnityEditor;using UnityEditor.Compilation;public static class AssemblyLister{    [MenuItem("Tools/List Player Assemblies in Console")]    public static void PrintAssemblyNames()    {        UnityEngine.Debug.Log("== Player Assemblies ==");        Assembly[] playerAssemblies =            CompilationPipeline.GetAssemblies(AssembliesType.Player);        foreach (var assembly in playerAssemblies)        {            UnityEngine.Debug.Log(assembly.name);        }    }}
