How to correctly make AssetBundles for different build targets?

Questions & Answers
1

My current project uses AssetBundles to load content, however it is being built out for Android, thus resulting in Pink shaders in Editor. This is just one hiccup im having, however i do intend to also deploy on IOS. With this being the case, Using the AssetBundle Manager, Can I generate Asset Bundles for many build types in the same project window or do i need to open a separate, duplicate project for the IOS build and AssetBundles?

I am also copying and loading the bundles from StreamingAssets, which i suspect may complicate things as there will be multiple copies of each asset bundle per build target in that case.

I know this is a little old, but for what it’s worth, below is a class that I use for that. As far as I know, there’s no way to use the AssetBundle Manager to do this same thing.

public class CreateAssetBundles
{
    static private BuildTarget[] supportedTargets = new BuildTarget[]
    {
        BuildTarget.iOS,
        BuildTarget.StandaloneWindows,
        BuildTarget.Android,
    };
    static private void BuildAssetBundle(BuildTarget target)
    {
        Debug.LogWarning("Building AssetBundles for target: " + target);
        string assetBundleDirectory = "z_Build/AssetBundles/"+target.ToString();
        if (!Directory.Exists(assetBundleDirectory))
        {
            Directory.CreateDirectory(assetBundleDirectory);

        }
        BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundles(assetBundleDirectory, BuildAssetBundleOptions.None, target);
        Debug.LogWarning("Assetbundles built to dir: " + assetBundleDirectory);

    }

    [MenuItem("Assets/Build AssetBundles/Windows")]
    static void BuildAssetBundlesWindows()
    {
            BuildAssetBundle(BuildTarget.StandaloneWindows);
    }

    [MenuItem("Assets/Build AssetBundles/All")]
    static void BuildAssetBundlesAll()
    {
        foreach (BuildTarget target in supportedTargets)
        {
            BuildAssetBundle(target);
        }
    }
}
