    Hi,

    Today I have realized that my unity application stores some binary data under /Android/data/xxx.company.name/cahce/UnityShaderCache

    I have 2 questions related to this issue:
    1) What is UnityShaderCache file?
    2) What will happen to these files if an Android 6 user deny WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission? Does Unity handle this issue or should the user allow the permission to run the application?

    binary compiled shaders.

    WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Starting in API level 19, this permission is not required to read/write files in your application-specific directories returned by getExternalFilesDir(String) and getExternalCacheDir()
