    Turns out this issue was caused because putting additional logic into my automatic property caused in infinite loop call on the getter.

    public static bool TrackTap {
    get { return TrackTap; }
    set {
    if(TrackTap == value*) { return; }
    TrackTap = value;
    if(value) { GesturesTracked += TapDelegate; }
    else { GesturesTracked -= TapDelegate; }
    }
    }

    I imagine that the getter for this calls itself repeatedly. Unfortunate that no error is thrown and Unity just crashes on play.

    That is, within an automatic property

    Unfortunately I cannot see your attached script so I cannot verify this issue is the same as the one I encountered. However, I am working on a macbook pro, and if I call a property's getter from within its setter, unity crashes.
