    Hello! I have a game object in which I load data from xml file ( by deserialization ). I built my app for android. When I run the game there is no data loaded. It seems like there is no file copied from my pc. It is possible to save this file (xml) in .apk when building?

    Maybe is a good idea to check if the file exists? - if not just write new data in it, and load again?

    Generally for most cases people check the persistentDataPath for the file, and if it dosnt exist they create one with defualt values.

    So, if I want to change something is better to use persistentDataPath?

    Yes, that is a path you get access to that is read and write.
