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
