Too slow switching for android in Unity3D

Question

My game has 1000+ frames and format of sprites is Crunch because of too many sprites in this project.

when I want to switch it from windows to android it takes me almost 1 day to switch (actually I don't permit it to switch completely) but switching to windows is not that much, maybe just 15 minuets.

Just I want to know is it sensible or not ? and if it doesn't, is there any solution ?

Answer 1

I have my projects in a version control system (like SVN or Git) and have a checkout per build platform.

In your case you would check them out into two folders:

• YourGame_Windows
• YourGame_Android

Your synchronize both folders by commiting and updating with your version control system.

Answer 2

There are few solutions. Here I will point only 4 of them

1. (IMHO the best option) Fast Platform Switch plugin

2. Writing your own importing assets scripts (http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetPostprocessor.html).

3. You can boost speed of importing with switching off compresion of textures/images (Compress Assets on Import in Preferences):

4. You can boost speed by making sprite packer be enabled only when you make build, or disbale it:
