Is there functionality to build a set of local bundles that is included with the build, then have those same bundles be updated via remote server?
So far, we’ve been able to download them and have them cached but that only works if its online. Ideally we would like the client to run fine offline without having to download anything, then update the bundles when they are able.
The way we decode address to is via a file we call the catalog. When you ship your game, it’ll come with a catalog. In your case, it’ll make, say "tank" == "tank.prefab in local bundleX".
Then later, you can put “tank” into an online bundle (presumably tank changed). At this point, the catalog on your server will say "tank" == "tank.prefab in remote bundleX_1".
as long as the user stays offline, they will continue to use the “tank” that’s local. Once they go online, the next request for “tank” will point to the online server and will require that they stay online to download it.
So if I’m understanding you correctly, things already should work the way you are wanting. Please clarify if I misunderstand.

Thank you for the reply, that pointed me in the right direction.
We were not building building locally first with the catalogue marked as remote. So the assets would only ever work from the server.
From my understanding, if the remote bundles are not accessible, it will default to the local bundles in the build via it’s own catalogue file.
When it’s able to download them, it will cache them for next time but it will not cache the remote catalogue?
Is there a way to update the local catalogue with the remote one?
@unity_bill Hi,How do I custom resource bundle path. In AddressableAssetSettings, I defined the {Application. PersistenDataPath} options, running on PC, but exception on android .
Print out the loading bundle path on android : C: \ Users \ \ AppData \ LocalLow \ xx xx
