Hello! Do you know if this library works on Android, my app stops at JsonConvert.DeserializeObject without error or crashing it just skips the rest of the method, on editor everything works fine using the library.

Thanks in advance.

@helixen I know for a fact mine does https://github.com/jilleJr/Newtonsoft.Json-for-Unity

It could be that your code is throwing. That would quit the function but not the game. You could try doing a development build, then uncatched exceptions are viewed on screen.

I could catch the problem, the error is that the JsonConvert.DeserializeObject cannot deserialize an array to IEnumrable, but it only happens when it's running on Android device, I'm in a hurry for delivery so I had to use another library. I'm testing on Samsung Galaxy S9 Android Version 9.

Thanks a lot now we managed it working in built version. <3
