An error involving a NullReferenceException is something that new developers often encounter when working on projects in Unity. These errors occur when attempting to access object variables, or members of object variables, when the variable itself is null.

Although the cause is simple, NullReferenceException errors can present themselves in many different ways. As a result, fixing them isn’t always as straightforward as following a standard series of steps. In this article, we will explore the various ways that a NullReferenceException can occur in Unity, as well as how to handle these various situations.

If you are an aspiring game developer, or someone with a lot of experience making games, you may need to, at some point, test out your games on your mobile device. However, you may find that the process of having to build and install your game onto your mobile device a time-consuming and tedious process. Especially if you encounter any bugs or UI glitches and now have to go back into Unity, make the changes and repeat the installation process all over again.

With Unity Remote 5 however, this process can be entirely avoided as, not only can you directly test them through the editor, you can even make changes on the fly just by stopping the play and making your changes, before pressing play again to check and see the effects of the new changes.
