OK, I finally found out, it was proguard changing the class which is loaded though reflection. There’s a proguard keep line defined in ios.properties but for some weird reason it’s ignored, so I added it directly to avian proguard file instead
I’m now facing other issues I’ll post here also just in case it’s usefull for anyone else
EDIT:
I’m getting the following error:

At least in my case it was caused by using a simulator with ios version 12.0 or lower. Solved by just using a newer release. 12.4 or newer worked flawlessly, well… at least it rendered the blue cube
