Asset bundles downloaded at runtime for both iOS and Android?
I am building an app heavily based around music. I'm searching for a way to let users download the app with just a few songs in the app, then while they try the app out for the first time. The rest of the songs (app. 50) will download in the background. Is there a solution where the songs are downloaded through the Play Store and App Store accordingly? So I don't have to host them myself? And perhaps so that it is one solution for both iOS and Android?
I'm looking into AssetBundles, but I can't figure out if this allows me to let users download the rest while they use the app?
With Google Play you can use Expansion files, but they have their own problems https://developer.android.com/google/play/expansion-files
Best option is to use Amazon S3, Azure Storage or similar service to host your asset bundles.
Thank you kaarloew. If I were to use Expansion files for Google Play I would need to find an equivalent for iOS as well, but perhaps it's feasible.
I would go pretty far to avoid hosting it myself as it would generate costs per usage. But yea, perhaps it's the only way.
I stand corrected, Amazon S3 would be a very cheap option, i.e. app. $0.00045 per song downloaded.
