I am trying to run my app in Release mode and Link All Assemblies for a smaller app size. However, after adding Unity and some dependency injection I get insta-crash with Link All Assemblies.
Build -> Android Application -> Minimum Android version -> API level 15
Build -> Android Application -> Target Android version -> Api Level 21
Build -> General -> Target framework -> Android 5.0 (Lollipop)

[mono-rt] at (wrapper dynamic-method) object:47e7f7cc-4382-48b0-800b-69e9143892ac (intptr,intptr,intptr)Im wondering if I should remove Unity as its nice , but not totally needed, or is there a way to get this working and maintain a smaller app size.
