Windows store app doesn't have permissions to access bundle?

Questions & Answers

Hi all, I am working on a windows store app intended to be side loaded onto a surface. I have started attempting to use bundles with the application and all works well in the unity editor, but when I build the project out to a windows store app and try to debug through visual studio, the app can’t seen to access the bundles due to a permissions error.

Here is the code that the app is using to access the bundle:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SimpleLevelLoader : MonoBehaviour {

	[SerializeField] string path;
	[SerializeField] string sceneName;

	IEnumerator Start () 
	{
		using (WWW www = WWW.LoadFromCacheOrDownload(path, 0)) 
		{
			yield return www;
			if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(www.error))
			{
				Debug.Log (www.error);
				yield break;
			}

			Application.LoadLevel(sceneName);
			yield return null;

			www.assetBundle.Unload(false);
		}
	}
}

This is the example code from the unity 5 bundles training and it works fine in the editor. I am passing in an absolute file path for now, just as a test to see if I could get it working.
When I try to load the bundle in the windows app while running/debugging in visual studio, I get the following error:

First-chance exception at 0x76DA4598 in Template.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: Concurrency::invalid_operation at memory location 0x0975F354.
Error while opening ‘file://C:\Users\aharris\Desktop\Spike Projects\Unity AssetBundle Test\Bundles\PC\mytestbundle’ - Operation has failed with error 0x80070005: Access is denied.

Do I need to specify some permissions in the app or is there a special folder in the project I need to but the bundle?

I have tried putting the bundle in the built app’s Data and Assets folders in the built app’s project folder thinking it would have access, but to no avail.

Thanks

I found what the issue was, apparently the built app’s Data and Assets folders are not the place for the bundles. Through some debugging, I found that after running in Visual Studio it builds a bin with a separate data folder. Using Application.DataPath showed me the correct directory to put it in, at least for the purposes of running it in VS.
Thanks
