Why “Error: System.ArgumentException: Attempt to construct staged filesystem reference from absolute path” occurs?

It usually occurs in mobile testing when a file is wrongly saved or builded in the device.
When you try to launch again the game you’ll get the error and the only solution is to delete the corrupted file, as shown in the guide.

You can also try to delete the game from your phone instead of following this guide but the error will occur again soon because the corrupted file is a part of the building of the game and it needs to be rebuilt again.
