    The old application.exe can not load the new group asset (new group is append) 。
    But it can load in Editor or re-build the application.exe (it's working)
    Why???

    That's exactly the remote catalog designed for. The app loads a remote catalog which could be useful for loading new group of assets, as long as the old client know how to load it, by some kind of conversion.

    Please also enable the detailed log on both old and new clients to help debug the issue. Looks like for some reason the old client didn't get the latest remote catalog.

    How to load remote catalog? It's by default during the system initialization.
    LoadContentCatalogAsync is for loading additional catalogs.

    I have the "Build Remote Catalog" enabled, but when Addressable is initialized, it loads the catalog that is in the apk file, it doesn't load the remote catalog... I am using Unity 2018.4.6f1 by the way.

    Yes, I also had tried LoadContentCatalogAsync, and it did load the remote catalog, but it ended up downloading the assets twice because the local catalog and the remote catalog appended together, they pointed to the same assets except some changes to the assets.
    How to make Addressable to identify if the assets in the remote server are newer so that it downloads the newer one instead of downloading twice?..

    Thanks for replying by the way!
