Error creating a GameServices object.

When activating the PlayGamesPlatform and trying to authenticate the local user I see the next exception happening:

What does this error mean and how can I fix it?

https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/issues/280 fixed this issue.

@mrggl said:

This might be an issue with the fact that the current plugin has transitive dependency on libc++_shared.so - that's the case, linking against the standard libraries statically might fix this problem.

I've committed a statically linked version of libgpg here: https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/tree/debug_libgpg/debug. Overwrite the old versions of libgpg with these and see if that addresses the issue!
