Unity Android game crashes when reopened from the home screen.

Maybe it is your device? I have ported to Android and I do NOT have this issue. Once I click the home button I can access my app by clicking the app icon or by clicking the little thumbnail preview when holding down the home button (in the "recent apps" view).

I ran a few tests, I can click the home button, open a new app, close that app, open yet another app, close that one, turn the screen off on my phone, wait 3 minutes, turn my screen on, then resume my app by clicking it's icon.

To be more specific: -My app was opened, started a new game and played for about 2 minutes [Hit the home button] -The first app I opened was open for about 5 minutes, and I closed out of it by hitting the back button till it closed. -The second app was open for about 1 minute and I clicked the home button instead of closing out. -Turned off screen for about 3 minutes -Turned screen on, waiting about 30 seconds -Clicked my app icon on my home screen -App was 100% where I left off. No crash, no reloading, just resumed.

My android device I tested this on was the Samsung Galaxy S3. I built my apk as a developer build and turned on script debugging.

My app uses ~140mb of RAM in this specific example.

@Madarina did you find a solution to the problem?

In my case the app always crashes when running in background and opened through app icon. However, works fine when accessed through recent apps screen.

Here is my log, unfortunately doesn't tell much.

if it is developer build then you can launch it once, second time it will not launch from icon again.
