    New feature in 1.8.3:
    - Added the option to compress the local content catalog by packing it in an asset bundle.

    I used external content catalog and assets in my project, built in other project.
    Content catalog is huge (11 Mb) so I built it using the "compress local content catalog" option. And now I want to load it in project.

    I used

    Code (CSharp):
    1.    
    2.     var locator = await Addressables.LoadContentCatalogAsync(path).Task;
    3.     Addressables.AddResourceLocator(locator);
    4.  
    but it doesn't work for catalog in bundle. I found BundleCatalog in source code, but it is internal class.

    It looks like its only for local catalog not remote. But i'd like the ability to load a remote one too.

    The team were fans of this idea, @iamarugin! Can you file a ticket requesting this?

    Thanks! Looks like this is a feature the team won't be implementing at this time. Supporting remote catalogs in bundles introduces a lot of complexity to our catalog loading and is not something we will be able to support.
