Fatal Error on Asset Bundle Import

Unity Engine
1

Hi guys,

I’ve just bought the iOS Pro license and started modifying a previous project for iOS.

Whenever I try and and import an Asset Package I get a Fatal Error with the following message…

“attempt to write a readonly database”

Any ideas on how to fix this. I’m fairly new to Macs as well.
Any help is appreciated.

Cheers.

You can not import asset bundles.

Asset bundles are to load at runtime in the player (for the platform you built them, desktop ones don’t work on mobile and alike)

Packages are to import into the project.

Sorry dreamora, thats what I meant, a package :slight_smile:

I fixed the details for the initial post.

In that case your project is in a place it can not be written to without admin rights (anywhere but your user folder and subfolders) or something else is holding control of the folder (dropbox for example)

It’s next to AngryBots in /Users/Shared/Unity
Is that a bad place?

OK, it has something to do with my project because I started a new one and they Import fine.
It was originally created in Windows, so I’m guessing there’s some rights not set correctly
I’ll have to learn terminal properly and set the rights to all files I think.

You can open its information screen (cmd+i) and do it there at the bottom too

Yeah, I tried that with assetDatabase3 in the Library folder and it still Fatal Errored on me.

I just did a sudo chmod a+rw * on everything in the Library folder and it’s working now :slight_smile:

Thanks for your help dreamora

I would actually have done it for the project folder itself :smile:

But glad it works now
