    I've been trying to get Application.Unload to work. It seems like when it's called it should tear down everything that is in the Unity engine and leave the rest of my app running as normal.

    I've tried attaching a behavior to an object similar to the one in the documentation for Application.Unload and when it's called nothing seems to happen.

    I was wondering if anyone knew of issues around this or if there are any pre-requisites for calling this or gotchas that I may be missing.

    Thanks.

    Hey, I've asked the developer responsible for that feature to chime in.

    For completeness sake, which exact version of Unity are you on? You're targeting Windows Store, right? Are you on .NET or IL2CPP scripting backend?

    Agreed with Tautvydas. Answers to his questions would be most helpful.

    I've tried both the released version of 5.5 and 5.6.0b2.

    I am targeting Windows Store.

    On 5.5 I tried both .NET and IL2CPP, on 5.6 I only have tried IL2CPP at this point.

    Any help here would be great.

    It's super unclear what this is doing/is supposed to do, and there don't seem to be full examples that use it, but it sounds like it'll potentially solve a problem for us but it doesn't really seem to be doing anything.

    We have fixes for the issues that I'm working on getting in 5.5 right now. I'll let you know when to expect them.

    @Masterfalcon using Application.Unload in iOS using 2017.3 and it seems working. However, what is the proper way to re-initialize the Unity runtime afterward? Doing the usual UnityInitRuntime we always got error on the repaint call. Any insight is appreciated!

    I suggest asking on the iOS forum section about that.
