Get List of all Addressable Keys in a project

Unity Engine

I am trying to download all Addressable dependencies in the beginning of my game, so that during gameplay everything is cached. In order to do that, I need a list of all keys to pass to Addressables.DownloadDependenciesAsync. Currently, I do this:

var resourceLocator = await Addressables.InitializeAsync().Task;
var handle = Addressables.DownloadDependenciesAsync(resourceLocator.Keys, Addressables.MergeMode.Union);

This works, but it seems like I shouldn’t do it that way. I am initializing addressables each time I call this method. Will calling InitializeAsync multiple times do anything, eg will it somehow re-initialize? What if someone called Addressables.InitializeAsync() before? Can I rely on always getting a resourceLocator with all keys, or might this break at some point? Is there less hacky way to get a resourceLocator which contains all keys?

Or is there a better way to do this altogether?

Hi @dominikkoller1 Addressables will only be initialized once, so during the second time that InitializeAsync is called nothing will happen. A better way to get all keys is to iterate over the list of resource locators (Addressables.ResourceLocators), and find the locator with the id “AddressablesMainContentCatalog”.
