2. Open "main.unity" scene
3. Build for iOS device
4. Deploy the Xcode project to an iOS device
5. Observe the Xcode console "PlayableAsset returned a null Playable on Instantiate"

Reproduced on:
2018.2.13f1 2018.3.0b6

Devices reproduced on:
iPhone 6s Plus iOS 10.3.2
iPhone 7 Plus iOS 12.0

Notes:
Can't build to 2019.1.0a5, getting errors in the console.
Crashes on 2017.4.13f1 (log in the edit)
Uncommenting line 4, line 18, and lines 55 - 67 in "LoadigProcess.cs" script doesn't show the error.
Adding the fixed script "LoadingProcess.cs"

   Resolution Note (fix version 2019.1):

   Resolving by design, as the problem is exactly as stated, timeline code is getting stripped. The problem is the same as 959530. For this particular user, the correct entry for link.xml is
   <assembly fullname="UnityEngine.Timeline">
   <type fullname="UnityEngine.Timeline.*" preserve="all"/>
   </assembly>
