"ProjectSettings.asset" changes to an unparsable YAML file when using Scripting Define Symbols

Steps to reproduce:
1. Unzip the “Parse” folder and observe the ProjectSettings.asset file in Parse/ProjectSettings folder where the scriptingDefineSymbols is
2. Open the “Parse” project in a version that has any of Andriod/iOS/tvOS platforms
3. Observe ProjectSettings.asset file where the scriptingDefineSymbols is

Expected result: The file doesn’t change or changes without opening the project only in Andriod/iOS/tvOS platforms
Actual result: The file changes to an unparsable file
