NullReferenceException on asset database refresh
See original GitHub issueDescription
NullReferenceException on asset database refresh. Every now and then when some assets are updated, a couple of these messages appear in the log:

No, not really. The error frequently occurs when I change some script or asset but after I entered Play mode it disappears. IIRC this issue was also present on earlier Unity 2019.x versions.
This issue from another project could be related: https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/issues/1713
Since this appears to be a Unity issue, I’m closing this. If anyone finds/wants to contribute a work around in the N4U code, then I’d gladly accept one. =)
