I want to dynamically load bundles from multiple URLs in Unity addressables

Question

I am using Unity Addressables v1.21.18 and have organized my assets into multiple groups, uploading them to an S3 bucket. I have three environments: dev, stage, and prod, each with its own configured bucket. In my game, I have a switcher that changes environments, and I need Addressables to dynamically load from the correct bucket based on the selected environment.

I attempted to manually initialize Addressables, but according to the documentation, Addressables automatically initialize themselves. For the remoteLoadPath, I’ve set it up like this: {Assets.Scripts.AddressablesManager.AssetsURL}/[BuildTarget], where AssetsURL is a static variable that updates when switching environments.

Is there a way to forcefully initialize the addressables again after first time.

Could someone help me figure out how to achieve this dynamic loading?

Thanks in advance!

• I tried Addressables.InitializeAsync() but didn't work.
• If I switch before calling any addressable method then it switches the URL as its before initialization.

I think your only option in this case is to manage catalogs yourself. Although it was introduced as an option to download asset bundles created in another project, it allows the loading of concrete catalogs in runtime.
