Platform Switching and reimporting
Switching between platforms might cause Unity to reimport your assets. This usually happens when the way the asset is imported differs between platforms, which is often the case. For example, different platforms have different texture formats
, so textures are imported differently for each platform.

When using Asset Database V2, the platform is part of the hash that the Asset Database uses to store the import results for Unity’s built-in importers. This means that the results for importing your assets on different platforms are stored as separate pieces of cached data.

The result of this feature is that the first time you switch platform with new assets in your project that haven’t already been imported for that platform, they are reimported. This means that you have to wait for that process to complete. However the new reimported data does not overwrite the old data cached import for the previous platform.

This means whenever you subsequently switch back to a platform where you have already imported assets for that platform, those asset import results are already cached and ready to use, making the switch much faster.
