Build Addressable Profile During a Unity Cloud Build

Unity Engine
1

I am not really sure where to start in regards to getting addressables and Unity Cloud Build to work together.

Current State

  • I can make and run local iOS builds with Addressables using a manual click of the Build Player Content menu option before doing the iOS build
  • I can have a Unity Cloud Build setup that can make iOS builds that do not include the addressable assets (because I do not commit the cooked StreamingAssets to my repo I assume).

Goal

  • Have Unity Cloud Build build the addressable content for a “Production” profile before doing the build.

Constraint

  • I would like to not have to commit any local build artifacts to my Repo (ie. Generation fo the StreamingAssets folder)

This worked great and resolved my issue. Thank you!

Hi, I am using the same code to build the assets but I get following error. This only happens during cloud build, local build is fine. Some ideas?

Hi @Konstantin_Playtino , a good percentage of cloud build issue are missing files. I guess you may forget to commit a file or that file is ignored by git (via .gitignore).

From the log, the CloudBuildHelper.PreExport method is executed and failed at AddressableAssetEntry.CreateCatalogEntries()

        public void CreateCatalogEntries(List<ContentCatalogDataEntry> entries, bool isBundled, string providerType, IEnumerable<object> deps, object extraData)
        {
            var assetPath = GetAssetLoadPath(isBundled);
            var keyList = CreateKeyList();
            var mainType = AssetDatabase.GetMainAssetTypeAtPath(AssetPath);
          
            if (mainType == typeof(SceneAsset))
                mainType = typeof(SceneInstance);

            if (!CheckForEditorAssembly(ref mainType, assetPath))
                return;

The mainType seems null, caused by a non-existing AssetPath.

Hi @Favo-Yang , I actually know this type of error and I also checked my files. Like I said the local build runs without the issue. I downgraded Addressables to 1.1.4 and now cloud build works again. I don’t know why but thanks for your response.

Hi @Konstantin_Playtino , would you mind submit a ticket [Cloud build > Support > OPEN A TICKET]. It sounds a bug.
