when quiting, spawned object become null whereas in-scene objects are not.

Description

I want to save gameobject states before quitting, so when i load a scene and spawned several object(destroyWithScene = true), i cached the references to some objects. Then, when i quit(stop playing in editor), i implement the saving code in OnApplicationQuit() on monobehavior "script_1". But the saved data are all zeros(default), and in debuging, the references to spawned objects are all null.

By looking into the source code of NetworkManager, it appears that NetworkManager also implemented OnApplicationQuit() in which ShutdownInternal() is called. So, I changed the script order of my "script_1" or move saving code to Application.wantsToQuit, so that in debuging, My saving code is always called before NetworkManager's OnApplicationQuit(). However, the reults are all the same(valid spawned object reference become null), and the NetworkManager always has shutdown even before NetworkManager's OnApplicationQuit() being called.

This only happens to the dynamically spawned object, the referece to the in-scene object remains valid.

Reproduce Steps

0. start a host
1. load a scene and spawn a network prefab
2. find and cache the reference to a in-scene object and the spawned object
3. set debug breakpoint and quit
4. check the references in Application.wantsToQuit

Actual Outcome

Reference to in-scene object is valid, but to spawned object is null in Application.wantsToQuit

Expected Outcome

The references should be valid and object states can be retrieved in Application.wantsToQuit

Screenshots

References when scene loaded and a object spawned

References in Application.wantsToQuit
