unity3d android assets,unity3d - Using assetbundles with streaming assets folder in Unity Android - ...

To read streaming Assets on platforms like Android and WebGL

, where you cannot access streaming Asset files directly, use UnityWebRequest. For an example, see Application.streamingAssetsPath.

but here is the reply from Unity on the forums (and a related "Fixed" Unity Issue), so the issue with bundles was fixed even in 5.3.* and you should be able to use AssetBundle.LoadFromFile on Android. StreamingAssets documentations seems to be correct, it just doesn't mention that there is a special case for reading assets with AssetBundle.LoadFromFile. LoadFromFile documentation also doesn't mention it, but uses streamingAssetsPath as an example.

There is also an alternative to use BetterStreamingAssets that builds the map of files and their offsets in the apk, and then passes the correct offset as one of the AssetBundle.LoadFromFile arguments, although not sure how it handles the compression in that case.
