    I would like to load bundles from Firebase Storage, but I don't know how to override the loading method.
    Is that possible?

    I know that it's possible to format the bucket address to an URL (https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/web/download-files) and append "?alt=media" parameter to download the file, but I don't even know how to append it to all AssetReference objects (including implicitly loaded dependencies).
    We have configured our bucket to enable public reading (even though I think this is just bad).

    BONUS QUESTION(s):     is it possible to configure our addressables RemoteBuildPath and RemoteLoadPath to build to a "bundleVersion"-named subdirectory? Where are the documentation for available "Profile Variables" (as mentioned here)?

    I'm not familiar with the firebase, if it can expose http protocol for the root folder, it will be a lot easier just configure it as the remote load path. But I'm not sure about this.

    If you have to use the signed url, then this may help https://forum.unity.com/threads/loading-content-with-signed-urls.719783/#post-4882328. Notice the last floor said there will eventually built-in support for downloading signed url.

    For the bonus question, please checkout the template syntax and bundle version.

    Hi Siddhant003,

    Hmm that file should be there. Can you see the file at the path: "Assets/RobinBird.FirebaseTools/Storage/Addressables/FirebaseAddressablesCache.cs" ?

    If the RobinBird.FirebaseTools directory is empty then the Submodule is missing. You can download the missing files here and paste them into the RobinBird.FirebaseTools directory
