Bug Catalog is not downloading updated build assets that have been uploaded to the remote load path

Our order of steps are as follows:

1. New Build -> Default build script
2. Uploading ServerData files to the remote location (a google cloud bucket)
3. Building Unity Application on Android device
4. Modifying an addressable prefab on editor
5. Update a Previous build (on Addressable Groups)
6. Uploading ServerData files to the remote location

On our application, before calling LoadAssetAsync on any of our addressables we run a UpdateCatalogs().

As far as I understand, this should trigger the system to download the new updated uploaded version of the prefab. This sometimes works, and sometimes it doesn't even when reproducing the exact same steps.

 

Just a quick update, it used to work at least once, now I can't even get it to work the first time I try.

I also added a button to run the operation manually while the app is still running, I update the catalog and upload it to our bucket and made sure the new files are available

yet the operation fails with
Error Unity Exception encountered in operation CompletedOperation, status=Failed, result= : Content update not available.

 

i got same problem

 

https://docs.unity.cn/Packages/com.unity.addressables@1.18/manual/InitializeAsync.html?q=Init

The last step says

• Loads the ContentCatalog. Optionally checks for updates to the ContentCatalog. By default this check is turned on.

This doesn't work
catalog is remote,
Disable catalog update on startup is unchecked.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the app on the phone will download the updated assets, if you don't reinstall it will ALWAYS
return the cached versions.

manually calling UpdateCatalogs() will result in an exception because there is no update available.

 

Submitted a bug report case number 1345375

 

Do you have a link to the issue? I couldn't find a way to filter issues by case id.

 

The issue still hasn't been verified so you won't find it in the unity issue tracker

Here is what I am using to get around the unfortunate bug that makes versioning just not work at all.
worth noting I didn't add all the code, still need to release the operation

 

Addressables are a mess and nothing works the way it should. I’m having the same problem in Unity 2022. It’s only wanting to load what it has cached but not any of the updates I’ve pushed so far. It really shouldn’t be this difficult.

 

Steps that solved it for me:

• Change Bundle Naming Mode for each group to "

  Append Hash to Filename

  "
• Initialize Addressable before "

  CheckForCatalogUpdates

  " :

Code (CSharp):

1. await Addressables.InitializeAsync();
2. await Addressables.CheckForCatalogUpdates();

• Check the "

  Unique Bundle IDs

  " in Addresssables Settings
• Compile the Addressables
• Compile the Player

 

I was experiencing a similar problem, here's how I fixed it.

Essentially, I entered my RemoteLoadPath with a traling slash (/) at the end.
Apparently, when fetching the remote catalog, Unity appends a slash in there regardless if there's a slash already or not.
On top of that, I was running Unity 2020.3.26 and on that version, when the remote catalog cannot be fetched, Unity fails silently, not giving back any log or error.
While investigating this bug I tried updating to Unity 2021 and, while the trailing slash bug is still not fixed on that version, at least it fails with an exception, letting you know the URL it's trying to fetch to update the catalog.
I removed the trailing slash back in Unity 2020 and it all worked.

Hope it helps, cheers!
