    Hi

    I try to load RuntimeAnimatorController from addressable(version 1.2.3).
    Here is the my code.
    Code (CSharp):
    1. Addressables.LoadAssetAsync<RuntimeAnimatorController>("RuntimeAnimatorControllerKey").Completed += InitData;
    It works fine in unity.
    But when I run on mobile.It shows error
    Is someone bump into the same error?

    As a workaround, Have you considered using Addressables to load a GameObject that has an Animator component that references your AnimatorController, and then obtaining a RuntimeAnimatorController from the loaded Animator component?

    Hi,thanks for the reply.

    It may works but I make it plan B.
    In that way,I need to make the AnimatorController to a prefab.
    When I load successful I have to do one more step to get the asset.
    It is not much convenient so I just want to know is there has more efficient to get the AnimatorController.

    Thanks.

    The system shall support prefab and scriptable object, but not component (yet). Caused by the limitation of the underlying asset bundle.

    In V1.2.2 it looks like a possible issue in AddressableAssetEntry.cs : CreateCatalogEntries. There should be a conversion like the SceneAsset -> SceneInstance but for AnimatorController -> RuntimeAnimatorController (the CheckForEditorAssembly method has no effect even though it alters the type reference passed in).

    Try adding this below the SceneAsset check and see if it helps:

    Code (CSharp):
    1.             if (mainType == typeof(SceneAsset))
    2.                 mainType = typeof(SceneInstance);
    3.                
    4.             if (mainType == typeof(Animations.AnimatorController))
    5.             {
    6.                 mainType = typeof(RuntimeAnimatorController);
    7.             }
    8.

    @rg_johnokane thanks for that! This works in v1.4.0 as a fix.

    nice! i stumbled on this post not even realizing this would have been an issue. I was wondering why my RuntimeAnimatorController addressable was failing only on the quest.

    So this was a premature celebration. The above fix mentioned did not work for me. Still can't load RuntimeAnimatorController on mobile. Its telling me the key is invalid? Works on windows builds fine.

    Hey @Jribs I think we have a fix for this coming soon (likely in the next week or two). Our fix ended up being a little different so I'll make sure that mobile gets tested since you're having problems with that

    @Jribs The fix seems to work for me with 1.4.0 on iOS?

    Hmm but just found out it doesn't seem to work for a colleague. Maybe it's only working sometimes

    @Colin_MacLeod so we fixed the issue on our side where we weren't converting the Editor type to the Runtime type but, unfortunately, there appears to be a bug on the engine side with some aspects of animation serialization. So that may be what your colleague is running into. Maybe not but I just wanted to throw that out there.

    Thanks for that. Is there any ETA on a solution?

    I know a solution is under way. I'm not 100% on how far along they are though. Since it's an engine issue I'm hopeful that they'll have it done in time to get it in for the next Unity release but I can't really speak to that. If I hear anything else I'll try and come back to update this thread.

    now is July, 2020 and the bug is still here. Anyone has any updates or workaround (which is more likely to happen)?
