hello, i create the xxxDependencies.xml with code, at first it is an empty file, i call "AssetDatabase.Refresh();", on the Android platform it work well, by on iOS platform, it will log error "System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing.", but it will not affect my project, i think on iOS platform it can be done as same as Android platform(when the xxx.xml is empty, it will not parse the file or not log the error), thanks!

Hi @WikyWu,

Could you verify if version 1.2.174 of the resolver produces the same result? If so, kindly provide a minimal, reproducible example along with the steps to replicate the issue so that we can analyze what's causing this behavior. Could you also specify the iOS version used?

@paulinon thanks for your reply, i import the version 1.2.174, the Android and iOS platform produces the same result, here is my demo, you can click menu(Test/TestUnityJarResolver) creates an empty xxx.xml file, then will log the error. Maybe this is your logic, i suggest, when the xxx.xml is empty, the resolver will not parse the file or not log the error ,thanks

Hi @WikyWu,

Thanks for the update. It turns out that the error message you're facing is intended when the file is empty. Preventing the resolver from parsing the empty file is something that we may consider. I've brought this to the team's attention, and you may refer to this thread for updates.

@paulinon thanks

I think empty XML is not a well-formated XML. Maybe a root element provided is appreciated. Or delete it!
I think there are more features that matter. @paulinon @WikyWu
