Exception in IOS

[Former user]

Hi,

I am getting the following exception and my game stops working on IOS. Works OK on Android btw.

ExecutionEngineException: Attempting to call method 'Sirenix.Serialization.DictionaryFormatter`2[[System.String, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089],[UnityEngine.Vector3, UnityEngine, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=, PublicKeyToken=null]]::.cctor' for which no ahead of time (AOT) code was generated.

Hi, thanks for the log.

It seems we are fighting the code-stripper, which optimizes our types out of existence.

This bug has been resolved in 1.0.5.0, with the introduction of the AOT Generation feature.
