Help Please - Question about Google Play OBB Downloader

Unity Engine

I tested on Samsung S7 with android 7 and on LG G2 D805 with android 5.0.2.

The game only works if the user authorizes the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (which I want to avoid since I don’t really need access to the player private pictures ¬¬) or if he restarts…

Strange that Android 5 requires the permission as well… that API level is meant to be granted read permissions by default. I’ve not had to use the permission for a Samsung S2 Tab running 5.0.2. I’ve actually got it the permission there but filtered so it only affects from Android 6 and up:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:minSdkVersion="23" />

Hi, so I’m in doubt about the .OBB is it really necessary to install the unity asset right? “Google Play OBB Downloader”. By searching I made some devices do not download the .OBB. So the application has to check if the .OBB exists and download it. I was wondering how to set up this google asset because it asks for a Public Key and I do not know where I can get it.
