(Case 1099061) Cannot load assets on android

Hi,
I tried to load a local group on android using AA 0.4.8, but Addressables couldn't initialize.

upon further digging, i found that settings.json contains this:

Spoiler: settings.json

Code (json):

1.   "m_catalogLocations": [
2.     {
3.       "m_keys": [
4.         "1_RemoteCatalog_24a731ec890f44040920b6e2cbdba227",
5.         "catalogs"
6.       ],
7.       "m_internalId": "{UnityEngine.AddressableAssets.Addressables.RuntimePath}/Android/catalog_2018.11.09.11.30.40.json",      "m_provider": "UnityEngine.AddressableAssets.ContentCatalogProvider",
8.       "m_dependencies": [
9.         "RemoteCatalogHash24a731ec890f44040920b6e2cbdba227",
10.         "LocalCatalogHash24a731ec890f44040920b6e2cbdba227"
11.       ]
12.     },
13.     {
14.       "m_keys": [
15.         "LocalCatalogHash24a731ec890f44040920b6e2cbdba227"
16.       ],
17.       "m_internalId": "{UnityEngine.Application.persistentDataPath}/com.unity.addressables/catalog_2018.11.09.11.30.40.hash", <-- this line
18.       "m_provider": "UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.TextDataProvider",
19.       "m_dependencies": []
20.     },
21.     {
22.       "m_keys": [
23.         "RemoteCatalogHash24a731ec890f44040920b6e2cbdba227"
24.       ],
25.       "m_internalId": "{UnityEngine.AddressableAssets.Addressables.RuntimePath}/Android/catalog_2018.11.09.11.30.40.hash",
26.       "m_provider": "UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.TextDataProvider",
27.       "m_dependencies": []
28.     }
29.   ],

that points to Application.persistentDataPath instead of Addressables.RuntimePath.

indeed,

BuildScriptPackedMode.CreateCatalog()

has a hardcoded

var localCacheLoadPath = "{UnityEngine.Application.persistentDataPath}/com.unity.addressables/catalog_" + playerVersion + ".hash";

in line 282 that I think should either point to streaming assets instead, or I did miss an initialization step that should copy the catalog hash to there?

 

additional digging:
- it also happens on osx standalone (so it seems not platform dependent)
- it failed once in the editor (packed mode) but I couldn't repro
- it succeeded once in the build, then it failed again when I uninstalled the app and cleaned all cached data from addressables window

during the tests, I tried various configs (local, remote, hosting) and I also disabled 'Verify Saving Assets' from editor preferences

 

update: it appears that I can load on IL2CPP build, but not on Mono...

 

It happens to me too! v0.4.8 android

 

Hi,
I attached the logs to the bug report

 

Hi,
seems like this issue is fixed with 0.5.2

now I get magenta if I use the default sprite material/shader (a custom shader works)

 

I am attempting to instantiate prefabs with sprite dependencies and I'm also getting magenta/blank shaders show up even with a custom diffuse shader I have. Not sure what is happening because the profiler says the assets are loading. The game object is loaded and has a reference to a sprite but the shader reads Hidden/InternalErrorShader for the default material and just appears magenta for my custom one. I'm using 0.5.3. Is there a specific way we need to handle dependencies that I'm missing?
