Flexible XR Content Management with Bundled Files

Developers often deploy supporting files like Unity AssetBundles, MP4 video modules, and customizable JSONs alongside their apps. For example, your app may use interchangeable MP4 video modules or read data from a customizable JSON. By separating these files from the APK itself, developers can swap files without needing to rebuild the APK since app versions on ManageXR can include APK, OBB, and all of your Bundled Files!

With this feature you can:

• Bundle files directly with your app versions.
• Organize, distribute, and update supporting files efficiently.
• Deploy any combination of file types alongside applications.
• Easily swap the files without having to build a new version of your APK.

Why use Bundled Files

This update is critical for content developers who deploy files alongside applications.

For example, our partner, Healium, deploys their application alongside MP4 videos. This feature enables them to streamline their content management process so they can focus on delivering impactful content to their users.

"Part of Healium's app is a free program called Honor Everywhere for terminally ill veterans. This new feature allows us to bundle together content of the different war memorials in Washington, DC together with Healium's mindfullness apps...so these veterans can virtually visit their memorials."

5 Key Benefits of App & File Bundles

1. Centralize content management

‍Stay efficient and organized by bundling additional files directly with your app versions. Make updates to your accompanying files in one place that then feeds into your configurations. Keep track of the files deployed with each of your app versions from a centralized location.

2. Faster content uploads

When you upload a new app version, you can copy the Bundled Files from a previous version and drag/drop to add new files. Want to use the same app version but change the files? You can duplicate an app version and modify the Bundled Files.

3. Deploy and share content with ease

‍Create an Application Release Channel, select your app version with Bundled Files, and share it with other organizations on ManageXR. No need to manually upload all of the files to each organization!

4. Keep your app version in sync with its files

‍With Bundled Files, your app and its supporting files are a single unit. That way, you can be sure your app version is always deployed with the correct files.

5. Automate your content update workflow

‍Use ManageXR’s advanced CLI tools to automate your content update processes and deployment pipelines. Automate your workflow for extra efficiency instead of manually uploading new app and file versions.
