After change Linker behavior to LinkNone in Droid project, it compiled.

[Deepfreezed]

Having the same issue, it would work with linker off, but we need to have linker for production release. Version 2.1.0.714 works. This is an issue with the latest version 2.3.0.759.

Linker works when targeting Android 10. Error happens when targeting Android 11 with linking on.

same :(

Can confirm: downgrade 2.1.0.714 works.
