I'm also having a similar issue (immediately on app startup):

MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Default constructor not found...ctor() of Amazon.Util.Internal.PlatformServices.NetworkReachability'.

NullReferenceException: A null value was found where an object instance was required.

There's also this.

Pardon me, I have no idea how to solve it - I'm just putting these here in case they might turn out helpful in debugging the root causes.

@ayushvora Your issue is looking more like you're missing the link.xml mentioned here in the Unity README

[ayushvora]

Thanks @haswalt , I'll check it out.

Yes for people visiting this thread and experience the same.

UnityEngine.Experimental.Networking is no longer a namespace for Unity 2017 onwards. (approx.)

Hence in your link.xml make sure you have
UnityEngine.Networking

Hence the head of link xml would be as follows
<assembly fullname="UnityEngine"> <type fullname="UnityEngine.Networking.UnityWebRequest" preserve="all" /> <type fullname="UnityEngine.Networking.UploadHandlerRaw" preserve="all" /> <type fullname="UnityEngine.Networking.UploadHandler" preserve="all" /> <type fullname="UnityEngine.Networking.DownloadHandler" preserve="all" /> <type fullname="UnityEngine.Networking.DownloadHandlerBuffer" preserve="all" /> </assembly>

as in this document -> https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-net/blob/master/Unity.README.md#unity-sdk-fundamentals

How to setting Link xml in Xamarin form ios Project?

My code is:

Amazon.IotData.AmazonIotDataClient c = new Amazon.IotData.AmazonIotDataClient(
                    "https://xxxxx.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com", awsCredentials);

Errro is
Default constructor not found for type Amazon.Util.Internal.PlatformServices.NetworkReachability
I have the same problem, btw just happen in Run App in really iphone.
In iphone simulation won't meet the problem
