    • Android: Incremented the minimum supported Android API from 9 (Gingerbread) to 16 (Jellybean).
    Might be the reason. 5.6 dropped support for anything less than Android 4.1
    I'm sticking with 5.5 unless this changes.

    Below Android 4.1 is terribly old, people should rather consider updating their Android version or get a new phone.
    Most new phones already support Android 5/5.1, 6 or even 7
    Unity is forcing the minimum API up, you can't expect to maintain compatibility for every API from the stone ages
    Our analytics shows that most users of our app use Android 4.4 or higher
