Unity have just released a rather large patch for Unity 5.5.1p1. Loaded with fixes, there are also a couple of improvements to the Android gradle builds as well as a couple new graphics API in the Mesh class. Complete patch details from the release notes:
Improvements
- Android: Gradle export now supports custom template
- Android: Gradle export troubleshooting added
- Graphics: Added new APIs: Mesh.GetIndexStart and Mesh.GetIndexCount.
- Tizen: Added a button to the deployment target window to refresh the target list.
Changes
- Tizen: Remove the Tizen 2.3 minimum OS option. 2.4 is now the only accepted OS version. Users must update their devices to Tizen OS 2.4.
Fixes

- (none ) – Scripting: Added the following non-allocating accessors to Mesh. These accessors write into a user-specified List. The accessors are GetBindposes, GetBoneWeights, GetColors, GetIndices, GetNormals, GetTangents, GetTriangles, and GetVertices.
- (856507) – Shaders: Fixed shader compilation error when compiling certain surface shaders using WorldNormalVector from INTERNAL_DATA e.g. shadow pass variations.
