[iOS] Asset bundles downloaded through LoadFromCacheOrDownload are backed up to iCloud

iOS

-

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the attached project
2. Build the project for iOS
3. Run the project on a device that has iCloud set up
4. Wait a few minutes for all the asset bundles to finish downloading
5. When done, go to Settings/iCloud/Storage & Backup/Manage Storage and click on the current device
6. Notice that the application is taking up to 1GB of backup space

Workaround: Update the UnityUpdateNoBackupFlag function in Filesystem.mm file in Xcode project with this:

extern "C" int UnityUpdateNoBackupFlag(const char* path, int setFlag)
{
NSURL* URL= [NSURL fileURLWithPath: [NSString stringWithUTF8String: path]];
if(![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath: [URL path]])
return false;

NSError *error = nil;
BOOL success = [URL setResourceValue: [NSNumber numberWithBool: YES]
forKey: NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey error: &error];
if(!success){
NSLog(@"Error excluding %@ from backup %@", [URL lastPathComponent], error);
}
return success;
}

    For others, the fix is actually in 5.3.4p1 - the first patch release for version 5.3.4

    This bug still exists in 5.3.4f1. How do we reopen this issue?

    Unity 5.3.4f1: bug is still reproduced. Workaround works, thanks!

    This caused us an app rejection (with some critical bug fixes) due to iCloud usage. Severity is quite high as the workaround is kludgy and impractical for automated build systems.

    Thanks to whoever reported the problem and added the workaround ;)
