[SOLVED] Loading localization (Addressables) fails in Android

I'm probably missing something trivial but been bashing my head against this now for a while and can't seem to solve it. Using the Localization package and adding translations works perfectly in the Editor, but when I build it for Android I get the error below. Been looking through the documentation for the latest version and I did find that you need to build the Addressables, but I can't seem to find that in my version of Unity (2019.3.1f1).

Anyone have a clue?


EDIT: Solution:

For future reference, more exactly what worked was:

Thanks for your reply

There is unfortunately no "Build" in my menu that I can find.
See attached picture.

 

First of all, thank you so much, that did the trick

Thanks @jra8908 for the precise explanation, that saved a lot of time...

 

Hi everyone,

first of all thank you for the nice solution

Does this also work for UWP Devices, for example HoloLens? I did the same procedure and built the adressables, but it doesn't work on the HoloLens device for me.

Hi Karl,

thx for your reply. I got it running now! The adressable assets could not be built properly. I had to delete the localization asset and create a new one, then the adressable assets could be built properly again.

Also, I disabled the code stripping via link.xml:

<linker>
<assembly fullname="UnityEngine.Localization" preserve="all"/>
</linker>

 

Hello. I have the same problem but only with the IL2CPP compiler. When compiling with Mono I got all localization elements (sound clips in this case) available on my android. After switching to IL2CPP it stops working. I tried everything already. Building addressable groups again. Disabling code stripping. link.xml file in Assets. Only my label translations work, but, all audio clips are not available. However, In an editor or when compiled with Mono all is back to normal.

 

unfortunately not. that is the problem.
probably i will have to implement my own localization package.
i have tried all solutions i have found on internet...and nothing helped.
already few days on this...and lost any hope

 

[Update] So, the trick of "Bundle Naming - Append Hash to Filename" (from https://forum.unity.com/threads/troubleshooting-addressables-issues.1060346/) fixed this for me. Weird that wasn't already set though? Is that a bug?

I've got the same issue as above. In the editor my strings all work fine, but in a build - no cigar.

I've definitely built the addressables, and they've got the Locale tag set. But in a build, I get the following, even if I the flag in my shortcut "-language=en-GB" (en-GB is a locale).

No Locale could be selected:
No Locales were available. Did you build the Addressables?

 

Cool. Is there a fix on the way? And do you happen to know if it's possible to move the AddressableAssetsData folder to somewhere that's not the root of the project? I'm currently using 1.16.16, which seems to have an issue with me moving it somewhere else :-(

 

Am I right in thinking that only changes where the assets are built when hitting "Build", rather than where the Addressable Groups gets its data from? I just want to move the actual AddressableAssetsData folder somewhere else in my project. When I do this I find either Builds no longer work, I can't add new addressables, or if I try and use the Localization tools, they fail and say there isn't an AddressablesGroup for them.

 

That sounds very much like the bug I have. I'll file a report. Thanks for the Localization tips / fixes.

 

Thank you so much!! it works

 

And this way work with me in windows 10 > thank you

 

This also worked for me but I have a further question, how many times will I have to build the addressables? Every time I change something in a string table? Every time I create a new string table? Every time I want to make a build for android? I can't help but feel this dependency on addressables for the localization hinders it more than helps it

 

Thank you again for your very quick reply, I will look into setting up the build system appropriately

 

Hi,

Sorry for hijacking the topic. I ended up here having the same problem, and i'm wandering how you get the auto-build of assets when building the topic. I've read on another topic that it requires Unity version 2021, i'm still running version 2020. But the weird thing is that i've been using the localization package for a few months and only ran recently in the issue of the build not being able to load localization settings.

 

Yes, of course, i misspoke, i meant of course the tables etc. Thanks for the link.

 

Hello so I am using azure blob as my cloud to host my addressable items in there now when I hit play using existing build it works and loads my item buttons with their corresponding sprites in unity , but when I build and open it in the android phone non of these items load , Could you please tell me what's the problem and why is this happening???! as I don't think there is something wrong with the code + I have done all the settings for android build ...

 

Thank you for the reply , I fixed it )) , well now my problem is that 1st when the plane is detected I get them over and over again like crazy I dont know why they keep spawning 2nd is that when I click on one of my items they spawn but if i click another item it spawns too and some kinda float I dont know why ,, cuz I have made in the code so that when I click on the item it spawns if there isnt any and if theres it wont spawn but not sure why it doesnt work
