Importing Packages into Unity
How do you import packages like Newtonsoft Json into Unity. I heard that you should directly upload the DLL files into the Assets/Plugins folder in Unity, but I also heard you need WSA and Win32 DLLs. What's the difference and where do you find the WSA DLLs?

@jonathanhuang13, if you never managed to work through this, I just ran into the same thing. The Unity version of Json.Net describes a workaround here: https://github.com/SaladLab/Json.Net.Unity3D/blob/master/docs/UwpWorkaround.md, using a specific version (portable-net45) of Newtonsoft.Json.dll. The link above describes how to access it. I was able to get my code to run using the DLLs provided in the "just download this" link at the bottom, but there are manual steps as well in case you need a non 8.0.3 version.

Hi @jonathanhuang13 WSA DLLs are built for Universal Windows Program environment the source library is UPGRADED by someone using .NET 5.0 CORE.
However Unity 5 needs a Maximum of .NET 3.5.
There are NO Versions supported in NuGet for HoloLens
The asset store version is for Unity 4.6, not much use for us!
REALLY hard to create as Unity will not copy onto VS 2015.

Hi @Jimbohalo10, thanks for the reply! I followed the link and am pretty sure that I did everything correctly, but Unity still throws an error: UnityException: Failed to run serialization weaver with command "Temp\StagingArea\Data\Managed\Newtonsoft.Json.dll" -pdb...
Do you happen to know why this is? I tried using different versions of the Newtonsoft dll (Net35 and Net20), but it doesn't seem to matter which one I use.
Thanks again for all the help!
