Problems with Unity app compilation

While development of our API.AI Unity SDK I have faced with upset thing. When trying to build sample Unity app for iOS platform build ends with error:

Cross compilation job ApiAiSDK.Unity.dll failed.
UnityEngine.UnityException: Failed AOT cross compiler: /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/PlaybackEngines/iOSSupport/Tools/OSX/mono-xcompiler --aot=full,asmonly,nodebug,static,outfile="ApiAiSDK.Unity.dll.s" "ApiAiSDK.Unity.dll"

First I thought, that this situation is caused by external dll's, linked to the ApiAiSDK.Unity.dll library. Googling did not lead to anything useful... So I tried to check my external libraries, and run mono-xcompiler manually. mono-xcompiler compiles .NET Assembly to the native iOS code.

It was intresting, that another libraries was compiled with mono-xcompiler without problems, but ApiAiSDK.Unity.dll cause error:

Mono Ahead of Time compiler - compiling assembly ApiAiSDK.Unity.dll
The class UnityEngine.AndroidJavaObject could not be loaded, used in UnityEngine, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
Missing method GetStatic in assembly ApiAiSDK.Unity.dll, type UnityEngine.AndroidJavaObject
[1]    93561 segmentation fault   --aot=full,asmonly,nodebug,static,outfile="ApiAiSDK.Unity.dll.s"

So, you see, that problems with project compilation was caused by the Unity class AndroidJavaObject, used for native Android interoperability. This classes should be placed in the code snippet like

#if UNITY_ANDROID
      // your code...
#endif
