Reproduction steps:
1. Ensure Android Support is installed for the Unity Editor version that you’re going to open the project with
2. Open the attached “IN-118465_MPM ADB Instance Error - FAV.zip“ project (link in the internal comments)
3. Make sure the “Android SDK Tools Installed with Unity (recommended)“ option is unchecked in Edit > Preferences… > External Tools
4. Open the Play Mode Scenarios window from Window > Multiplayer > Play Mode Scenarios (in newer versions: Window > Play Mode > Scenarios)
5. Select the "test" Play Mode Scenario
6. Expand the "Local Instances" list and try adding/removing an item to the list by pressing the “+” or ”-” button
Actual result: The “Local Instances” list does not show any of its items, and an ArgumentNullException is thrown in the Console
Expected result: A warning is displayed in the Console (just like when Android support is not installed for the Unity Editor at all), and the “Local Instances” list shows all of its items
