How to properly create Android/iOS Expansion Files

Question

Is there a proper way to create expansions files for iOS and Android apps using the command line tool (haxe or lime) or is it always just by manually making a .zip file and renaming it to match the correct pattern?

Answer 1

I do the same thing. I also made an extension with a tool for this that simplifies the command. In addition to zipping and pushing the obb file to your device for testing, it also has the suggested google libraries to handle downloading the OBB in the case that the APK is downloaded and not the obb. https://github.com/thomasuster/android-expansion
