We’d consider this a deprecated feature/property.
Going forward, we have two ways:
-
Bundle the game and all the LiveUpdate content at the same time, to make sure that all the code is built with the same version. This is what has been available for a long time.
-
(Advanced use!) You can mount any .zip file built from any defold version. We do NOT guarantee that the data files are compatible! You need to make sure to test that your LiveUpdate content works with the client’s engine version. Worst case scenario: the game crashes.
This gives the developer a lot of freedom, but also requires some planning.
