Compile with .NET native tool chain caused System.OutOfMemoryException

Question

I am trying to build my UWP application in release mode. Every time I compile, I encountered:

error : Internal compiler error: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

After exhausting research, I found that the problem is caused by Compile with .NET native tool chain. When I un-ticked this option (Project Property | Build), my project can be build.

My project isn't very big, but I have 13 projects on the same solutions. They are all just a common components (which are very very small).

I am using VS2015 Community Edition.

Any idea? Thanks...

This is a known bug. I had the same issue yesterday. I reached out to the MSDN team in charge of VS and I am waiting for a response from them. For now I think the work around is just disabling the Native Tool Chain option. It only defaults on in release mode.
