Posting a follow-up in case anyone else runs into this issue: for my project, the issue was caused by having ARM64 enabled when using the IL2CPP scripting backend.

I went Edit -> Project Settings -> Player -> Android -> Other Settings -> scrolled down to "Scripting Backend" -> unchecked ARM64. After rebuilding, I had no more issues.

This is not fixed. It has been happening since Unity 2022.1.24f1, and every stable version since then (incl. 2022.2 versions) has had this issue.

signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR), fault addr --------
Cause: null pointer dereference

It points to arm64/libunity.so
