UI Prefab not instantiating on build for Android.

I made a UI list instantiate for weapon upgrades. It works fine when running it in the editor but when I build it and try to run it in Android not$$anonymous$$ng pops up. W$$anonymous$$le looking up what happens in logcat t$$anonymous$$s error pops up:

I/Unity: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at CreateScrollList.PopulateList () [0x00000] in :0 at CreateScrollList.Start () [0x00000] in :0 (Filename: Line: -1)

What doesn't Make sense to me is that t$$anonymous$$s if the object wasn't set to a reference wouldn't I get an error in the editor?

Here is what the scripts look like:

Any ideas? I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong here.....
