Question How to see if AssetBundle has dependencies to another AssetBundle?

I need to see if an AssetBundle has dependencies to other AssetBundle's. Is there a tool for it?

We have different level themes (for example japan, america, etc) in the game. Each theme is stored in its own bundle. Now I want to ensure the japan bundle does not have a dependency to the america bundle.

The reason why these themes must be "standalone" is that the player shoulddownload just the relevant data (smallest possible data set) rather than every other "theme bundle" as well, because someone perhaps picked a material from another theme by accident.

 

Up you go, thread! I have the same question. I'd like to stress that such a tool seems absolutely vital to converting existing projects to using Addressables. I have multiple projects were Addressables weren't part of the beginning and needed to be introduces later during development which meant going through hundreds of assets and creating dozens of bundles. The strategy was usually clear, but in reality, we always had a lot of issues trying to manage dependencies.

Here's a simple example:

• Bundle A contains the first level
• Bundle B contains the second level
• Bundle C contains shared assets
• A and B depend on C, so C is always loaded
• But wait, actually, scene B only needs a single asset from Bundle C, so we to duplicate this one instead or move things around to make better use of memory.

This last step becomes incredibly difficult when projects are more complex and I believe it would be much easier if the Analyze Window or similar tool could show the connections between assets to bundles and bundles to other bundles.
