    I've installed this package years ago and tried to find it in my purchased assets. I've found it and the page says:

    "Unfortunately, Google Play OBB Downloader is no longer available.
    This package has been deprecated from the Asset Store. This means that new purchases of the package are not allowed and that only users who already purchased or downloaded the package before it was deprecated, are allowed to download it.
    In most cases, package deprecation happens because the publisher is unable or unwilling to support the package anymore. We suggest looking for alternative packages or contacting the publisher directly."

    Well, I guess it is not required anymore. I never saw its windows with OBB downloading and I guess Google Play manages it automatically now. I tried to remove OBB with adb shell manually and only this scenario makes the downloader to show its window. But users will not do that I guess :)

    *UPD*
    After some research it seems better to have OBB downloader because it resolves some issues even on modern phones where Google Play downloads main OBB package automatically. Bad thing that Unity dropped OBB plugin support and did not provide AAB dynamic modules support. So we have no option for large app distribution from Unity side.

    @waldgeist Hi, were you able to make that package work that @AcidArrow mentioned?
    I can't figure out what should I do if I can't use that package because its throwing me errors on build time.
