IAsyncAssetProvider

Description

An optional capability for an asset provider that loads assets asynchronously.

Implement this alongside IAssetProvider when a provider loads through an asynchronous operation, such as a Resources request or Addressables. The localization system calls this on the asynchronous resolve paths. A provider that can also resolve immediately implements ISynchronousAssetProvider as well; one that can only resolve immediately implements just the synchronous capability, and the asynchronous paths wrap its result in a completed Awaitable.
