Bug Can't build for Android because of duplicated asset entries

We are using Addressables in our project and sometimes we can't take build for android platform.

The problem only occurs when takes android build(Not addressable build) with using Split Application Binary and Build App Bundle (Google Play) options. If I take a build with unchecked Build App Bundle (Google Play) , then build completes successfully and I can run the apk on any real android device. But if I take a build with Build App Bundle (Google Play) , the final aab is generating and I see a popup in Unity about the size of output aab, If I click the "Compute sizes" button then I see duplicated asset entries error on console. After all, if I try to upload the output aab to google play console then I see same error on google play console after upload completed and the upload fails.

Knowns:

• If I delete the Library folder the problem is fixed for one time build. But when I delete this folder, it takes ages because the whole project is re-imported... This solution is working for one time; if I try to take a second build after first build it's fails with same error.
• I am already tried to take new addressable build, this had no effect.
• I've been having this problem for the past 1 year at Unity 2020.3.1, 2021.3.2 and 2021.3.20.
  
• The problem is completely different from this fixed issue.
• In stacktrace, seems like problem occurs because of a specific bundle, but it's not. If I remove the bundle that mentioned in stacktrace from the project, then an another bundle gives same error on next build.

Current Unity Version: 2021.3.20
Current Addressables Version: 1.19.19

Is anyone looking here?

 

i'm using Addressables (1.21.17) and still facing the same issue

 

Is this fixed? Is this issue being taken care of? Still happening.
Unable to build AAB when using split application binary and local addressables because of the same exact issue.

Any work-around?

 

Hey! Nice to hear that. Using that package should improve addressables + android right?
One last thing, in that case, in order to build for iOS I guess I can't use that one, should I stick with regular addressables for iOS and use this new package for android building?

 

For future references and for anyone who might come across this issue.
I found a workaround without using the specific package for Android.

Issue comes when you build addressables for APK. If then, you swap the build to AAB with split application binary, clear the addressables cache and rebuild the addressables, this issue will popup making you delete all libraries and reimport, as if clearing the cache wasn't enought and something got referenced or stuck somewhere in the folders.

So we just stopped creating APK for tests and just use AAB's, so far the issue is gone after stop swapping different builds for android.

Hope this helps someone^^
