When starting a Unity 2020.3.22f1 based game built with "development mode" OFF , Pico XR plugin generates AndroidJavaException when starting...

Question

As the XR plugin won't start, the game can't initialize any screen and stops.
Buliding with Development mode ON doesn't generate this exception...
Please help.

Here is the Exception:

Answer 1

Is "development mode" the option in the picture?

Comments

Indeed and the Unity XR plugin version is latest 2.0.3.

Answer 2

For those stuck with the same problem, the following should fix the problem:

Uncheck the "Release" option in Project Settings->Player->Publishing Setting->Minify
This will not trigger JavaException with Development mode OFF.

Cheers,
Diego
