Question DOTs | Development builds running fine, production gets null pointer dereference

Mono is working fine, but to publish we need to build for arm64 - that's when the trouble began. Using IL2CPP works fine for development builds, but production builds are getting a null pointer dereference (stack trace below) just after the standard Unity splash screen.

This issue is the closest I can see to my own, but it's marked as non-reproducable - https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...p-arm64-app-crashes-on-start-in-release-build

I've tried the standard way of building for Android as well as this method outlined in the Entities doc, both of which have the same outcome - https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...7/manual/install_setup.html#standalone-builds

The versions of Unity I've tried are:

• 2020.3.25f1
• 2020.1.17f1
• 2020.1.15f1
• 2020.1.0f1
• 2019.4.0f1

Are there any specific build options that I should be using? What is the difference between a production and development build?

Thanks for you help.
