Device does not meet the minimum requirements after upgrade to Unity 5
I was developing a game for (Android) tablets, working with Unity 4.6 for a long time. Today I decided to try and switch to Unity 5, obviously making a back up before opening the project in Unity 5. At first I developed a bit without testing it, but now when I open the project on my tablet it keeps giving me the error that my device does not meet the minimum requirements for this application...
I tried it again using Unity 4.6, same settings, same changes, but there it does work. Is it really Unity 5 that just does not work with my tablet or is there something else?
My tablet is an ASUS Transformer TF101, it does also have a NEON CPU (I read non-NEON aren't supported anymore)

Wikipedia says "The second generation Tegra SoC has a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU (lacking ARM's advanced SIMD extension—NEON)"
Though the product website itself specifically mentions it's a NEON CPU, and I tend to trust that more than Wikipedia =P
No seriously, it was in the release notes of one of the Unity 5 Beta builds. http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/916479/unity-5-why-android-device-that-meets-$$anonymous$$imum-requ.html
http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-5.0 scroll down to android
Oh wait, Unity doesn't support Neon devices! I thought it didn't support non-neon devices... Okay, in that case my bad, but thanks! =)
Dude. No. Unity supports only NEON. CPUs that do not have NEON are not supported. Go to Google Play, download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dama.hardwareinfo and at CPU it should say "Not supported" next to SI$$anonymous$$D. At least it does so on a $$anonymous$$otorola $$anonymous$$Z604. (Tegra 2 tablet)
Ok, it's not a competition. If that tablet really is the TF101 and not the TF103, then it has a Tegra2, and a Tegra2 does not have NEON support. I'm not trolling or pulling your leg. Every bit of info i found says so. I'm enrolled into nvidia's dev site and searching there for NEON on Tegra2 gives no results.

Also, i went to ASUS's site and there was no mention on SI$$anonymous$$D/NEON on TF101 product page. (Heck, it didn't even show me the 101, it only went down to TF201).
Last resort is to use the bug report on Unity.
