[fixed] Local asset bundles deleted when user clears app data

Unity Engine

I’m wondering if any of you guys have some good way to tackle this issue. So basically we have divided our asset bundles into two categories:

  • Remote bundles (resides on a remote server, downloaded at runtime)
  • Local bundles (built to- and loaded from StreaminAssets folder)

Everything works fine, local bundles ship with the app, and we can successfully access remote bundles. However, if you go to your app settings on device and clear all data it seems all local bundles are removed as well as the remote ones. This causes a problem, since we don’t host the local bundles on our server.

So, how would I go about resolving this issue? I’ve been thinking of maybe trying to point the local build path to the resources folder, but it doesn’t feel right. Is there a formal solution that I’m missing? Any suggestions? How did you solve it?

I have tested this a bit more, and it appears I was wrong. Of course the content of the streaming assets folder isn’t deleted.
