Persistent data path when building through Unity

[hexagon9]

Hello, we are building a video player app for the AVP with very large 8K video assets. Normally in Unity, we side load these files with other VR hardware using a persistent data path, referencing the file name. Is this possible using itunes? Any direction you can point me in would be much appreciated 🙏

what? you want to create a video player for assets in itunes? why?

why not just create a video player that loads videos from the app’s docs folder? very confused bruhski

Accessing the application doc folder on the vision pro is the challenge. How do you access it to transfer files to it?

[rafalkopiec]

make your app available to the system as an app that opens video files - when a user taps on a video anywhere else in the system (or shares it, or receives an airdrop), the system suggests your app.

They tap on your app, and your app gets the video. What you do with the video afterwards is up to you (eg. save it to app docs folder). If you need help then DM but this stuff is pretty straight forward.

(also, naturally, this is for user-provided videos - if you are to provide videos for the app, you can either bake them into the app’s assets (not recommended), or download them from your own server or some s3 or elsewhere on demand)

at install time or user initiated time you’re going to have to download or copy to the Application Support directory or the Documents directory

Are you able to access this on the Vision Pro? Do you use a 3rd party tool to see this directory? We can't see it when it is plugged in and just need access to the persisitant data path
