    Hello @unity_bill , sorry to bother you again but we found another issue with the Addressables and our automation system.
    We found a workaround for now but a bug fix could be better :D

    You can find the bug report extract below just in case someone have the same issue (in this way he can see a ticket already exit).

    What happened :
    The addressables system doesn't work as expected when you switch platform between addressables build content

    How we can reproduce it using the example you attached :
    In the sample project, we implemented 2 editor methods to reproduce the issues.
    Failure Asset Build : This will use your common logic by passing "[BuildTarget]" in the RemoteBuildPath and in the RemoteLoadPath and letting your AddressableSettings / AddressableDataBuilder managed it. This case failed always when we switched platform just before performing it.

    Success Asset Build : This one will use our logic by replacing the "[BuildTarget]" ourselves with the "EditorUserBuildSettings.activeBuildTarget" as we thought you were doing. But it seems not because in that case it works and it will replace every [BuildTarget] everywhere.

    This cause 2 issues in fact :
    1) Generated assets are generated in the Unity's first platform folder. If you are on Android for example. You will have "ServerData/Android" for all catalog and bundles generated.

    2) The catalog.json generated will have its content broke cause every addressables bundle will have a link with the format "URL/FirstPlatform/Whatever" instead of "URL/CurrentPlatform/Whatever".

    Hope this project will be enough to helping you to reproduce it.

    Thanks,
    Aurelien.

    Thanks for the bug report. I'm mostly sure this is due to us caching evaluated variables. The cache is there so that the UI isn't doing a ton of reflection every single re-draw. We're gonna put in something to clear that variable/reflection cache just before a build. I think.

    In any case, thanks for the bug report, that's always a huge help.
