Unity 2019.4.20f1, Addressables 1.19.9, Device: TCL/8052_EEA/Hulk_7_KIDS_WIFI, OS Version: Android OS 9 / API-2

We have very few players that run in the following exception. How do you handle this case?

Hi @Peter77 this looks like the cache catalog .hash file that we are trying to write to Application.persistentDataPath/com.unity.addressables. Would it be possible to enable file transfer on the device?

Unfortunately the file is currently hardcoded to use the the persistentDataPath.
