Android crashes on load (even with project that previously worked!)

Target Platforms Mobile
1

I’m building a mobile app. I worked on some new changes this morning and then the app started crashing on mobile. I backed out my changes and it still crashed. The application crashes before the Unity splash screen appears.
I’ve downloaded an older version of my unity project from a day ago, then built the app and that crashes too!

Has anyone else experienced this kind of issue?
Also how do I debug this? From the stack I can see some material or shader is causing the app to crash

Here’s the error stack from Nexus 4:

Do you have any advertisement in your project?

Nope. I do have open VR in the project though.
This seems to be related to my computer. I got someone else to try building my project and it worked for them.
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled Unity twice (once to .3f and then back to .1f again).
Some setting in Unity (or possibly windows?) is breaking my mobile builds.

I see the #00pc is trying to create a material with a shader, is the shader included in your project? (project settings->graphics->always include shaders)
I’m not sure if that splash screen is yours or unity’s if it’s unity, have you tried using another splash image, or no splash?
One thing I could see is if your android SDK is not the same as that someone else’s.
Hope this helps.

We can report it too - Project worked with 5.4 and crashes with 5.5, on some phones. On phone that crashes - we managed to make it work by checking Development build - but this is not a final solution. Can anyone from Unity confirm this?
