Adding managed DLL to unity3d

I'm trying to implement the $p library to recognize gestures for spell casting in a game but I'm getting a Unhandled Exception. I'm using the precompile dll I got from their website and its compiled in the .Net 4 framework, so I'm guessing this is where the problem is coming from. Here is the error:
Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: The classes in the module cannot be loaded.

You can try changing true to false in your .csproj file. That helps in some cases.

App crashes in release mode and not in debug mode - Xamarin Forms

I am building a cross platform app and i want to release it to testers, but it doesn't work when i am deploying it in release mode. As far as exceptions go i do not get any. As stated in the question it works in debug mode. The app just goes to splashscreen and crashes. I ran the original app through test fairy and got this exception:

I cannot show you the source code, but i have reproduced the error in a new test solution.
Here is a link to the repository with the test project. It is just a project using MVVM with Xamarin Forms.

Fixed it by manually deleting all obj folders and all bin folders in the entire solution.
Edit: Came back again and now this fix does not work!

If your solution works in Debug mode, but not in Release mode, it might be an issue with the Linker.
Right Click on your specific project (not Solution) -> Android Options -> Linker -> Choose "None" in Linking. This will include all dlls in the Release Library.

Google Play Games Services can't register class (Unity)

I use GPGS for Unity (this)
When I launch my app on phone i have this (and no activity from plugin):

.EnableSavedGames()
.WithInvitationDelegate((invitation, shouldAutoAccept) => {})
.WithMatchDelegate((match, shouldAutoLaunch) => {})
.Build();
PlayGamesPlatform.InitializeInstance(config);
PlayGamesPlatform.DebugLogEnabled = true;
PlayGamesPlatform.Activate();
And this in Start for login:
Social.localUser.Authenticate((bool success) =>
{
});
In google I find some actions to resolve this problem but it doesn't work (last version plugin, last version android sdk, my account is tester in Developer Console).
Someone can help me with this problem?

Happened the same to me and after reading this thread (https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/issues/506) the solution was:
Update the Android SDK Google Play Services package to a version >=r23 (under the extras category)
Go to Window | Google Play Games | Setup | Android Setup... and click on Setup (this will update the local copy of the library)
Rebuild
Be very careful if you are also using Google Play Games for Unity plugin because you may encounter this problem:

ServiceStackHost.Instance has already been set

I have a bizarre problem.
I have implemented a standard Service Stack API.
It has been working perfect for the last year now.
Last week I saw some major changes to Xamarin Studio so decided to update my IDE.
With that update NuGet comes standard, so I decided to convert my Service Stack Reference Files to use NuGet. Quite nice, now I can update the DLL's etc with 1 click.
So the API works fine on my Windows Machine now, no issues.
Problem: Our servers run Ubuntu with Mono installed. And it does not want to budge.
I Initially get this Error:
System.TypeLoadException: A type load exception has occurred.
at ServiceStack.VirtualPath.FileSystemVirtualPathProvider..ctor (IAppHost appHost, System.IO.DirectoryInfo rootDirInfo) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

at System.Reflection.MonoMethod.Invoke (System.Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
Then I refresh the page and I keep getting this error:
System.IO.InvalidDataException: ServiceStackHost.Instance has already been set
at ServiceStack.ServiceStackHost.Init () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at API_NOTIFICATION.Global.Application_Start (System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

at System.Reflection.MonoMethod.Invoke (System.Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
Anyone Experienced this before? Anyone know how to fix this?
I did look at other posts similar to this one.
No idea where to find:
App_Start/ServiceStackFramework.cs
And no idea how to remove as again I cant find that anywhere. But who knows, it might not even be the same problem at all.
I have used the standard Tutorial to set up the API which is posted on the ServiceStack Website.
Any help will be much appreciated. And like I said, the only think that really changed is the IDE and updating those ServiceStack references via NuGet.
AppHost:
public class ResponseNotificationServiceAppHost : AppHostBase
{
public ResponseNotificationServiceAppHost() : base("Response Notification Services", typeof(NotificationServices).Assembly)
{
}
#region implemented abstract members of AppHostBase
public override void Configure(Funq.Container container)
{
}
#endregion
}
Global:
public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
new ResponseNotificationServiceAppHost().Init();
}
}
API Service Class:
public class NotificationServices : Service
{
public PersonNotificationResponse Any(PersonNotification request)
{
// Implementation Code here
}
}
Update:
When trying to remove the AppHost, the API would not load. I get the following error on the Ubuntu Server:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
at ServiceStack.HttpHandlerFactory..cctor () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Looks like it was a problem with the mono framework.
The server was running on 2.10.5 Mono on a 12.04 LTS server.
I hosted the API on a new 14.04 LST server with Mono 3.2.6 installed.
Works fine now.
Maybe ServiceStack was updated which was not compatible with 2.10.5 anymore. Not sure, can only speculate.

System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException with Mono, but not Microsoft's .NET

I found a really strange problem while creating unit tests that only occurs with the Mono runtime (Xamarin on Mac included), but runs fine within Visual Studio. I isolated it as far as I could, and I reached a point that I can't tell if it is a bug with Mono, Moq or Castle DinamicProxy, although it only crashes when using the Mono runtime.
This is the code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Moq;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
public interface ISomething<T>
{
List<T> DoSomething<U>(/*Func<T, U> expression*/);
}
public class Foo { }
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args) {
var mock = new Mock<ISomething<Foo>>();
Console.WriteLine(mock.Object);
}
}
}
Here's that I know:
It compiles and run with within Visual Studio 2012. The output is "Castle.Proxies.ISomething`1Proxy"
It does not work when running with the Mono runtime. An exception is thrown (see below)
If I change the declaration from an interface to an abstract class, it works with Mono
If I change the return type from List<T> to anything else, it works with Mono
If I remove the generic type <U>, it works with mono
Got the same results under Windows, Mac and Linux using the command line build from http://mono-project.com
In Windows it fails with Mono 2.10.9, but works within Xamarin.Studio (4.0.10)
In Mac, it fails within Xamarin.Studio (4.0.10)
I recompiled Moq linking agains the latest DynamicProxy release (Castle.Core.3.2.0), with no changed to the behaviour.
Although I've found this problem when using Moq, but I can't tell if it's related to it or even DynamicProxy. The partial exception is below, complete can be found at http://pastie.org/8203093
