Particle System on Android physical device

[cloudguru2020]

Hi,

I have been developing an evergine maui app with some 3d objects which was working fine on windows and android platform. Infact, it was a very smooth and quick development experience using & learning evergine.

But recently i added the default particle system asset to a particle compoent of an entity in scene, and it's throwing System.NullReferenceException error before the main screen is loaded at EvergineViewHandler.Android.cs line 53, while running it on Android physical device.

System.NullReferenceException
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Stack Trace output:

I'm uploading images of particle system configuration as well.

The particle system shows up fine on windows machine.

So is it that particle system is not supported in android platform? Are there any workarounds to get through this issue? Please let me know as currently i'm not able to proceed with particle system on android.

Thanks,
Vandita
