Android app crashing after upgrading to 2018.3 from 2018.2(.6f1)

Hi,

I tried to upgrade my unity project to Untiy 2018.3 from 2018.2 but it's crashing on our test device(Mi A2 running Android 8.1) and produces the following stacktrace:

It crashes right after the menu scene has been loaded (some scenes actually manage to finish before the crash happens so I doubt there would be anything wrong with LoadScene calls).

There's no unsafe code in use and I've removed every GC related call. I suspect a threading error somewhere but I'm not sure what I should look for when upgrading to 2018.3. I'm building with the following settings:
- Scripting Runtime Version: .NET 4.x (also tried 3.5)
- Scripting Backend: Mono (also tried IL2CPP which lead to strange errors stating that numeric_limits is not part of namespace std)
- Api Compatibility Level: .NET 4.x (also tried 2.0)
- Target Architectures: ARMv7

Also, I've tried using 2019.1b but got the exact same error.

Thank you for the help in advance!

 

Fixed this by requesting android permissions manually through the Permission API. Seems like this error was caused by insufficient permissions.

 

But how? got this error too

 

Bump, which permissions were needed?!
