Unity officially supports build addressables in cloud build except for WebGL target. However the script can be still useful to trigger build addressables locally with app build (GUI only).

Just a note to anyone who might be trying to use this script: It has to be inside a folder called Editor, something that was not immediately obvious to me.

Thank you very much!

Thanks your code :)
Can I use your code in my commercial app?
Please let me know how I can use the code for commercial distribution.

My pleasure. Just added a note for the MIT license.

@favoyang when calling PreExport function it will build both local and remote groups, right?
