Unreal Engine 4.25 and newer includes Google PAD integration through a plugin, making this system simple to implement in your own projects. This plugin provides a function library with calls for managing downloads and requesting information from the Play Asset Delivery system. UGooglePADFunctionLibrary is available in both C++ and Blueprint.
You can create a total of 50 asset packs per application. You can only have one Install-Time and one Fast-Follow asset pack per project, but can use as many On-Demand asset packs as you want as long as you do not exceed this limit.

After you have met these requirements, package the project as an app bundle again, and it will include each of these asset packs in your build. When you upload the App Bundle to the Google Play Store, the asset packs will be available for download using the Google PAD API.
The function GetAssetPackLocation fetches the location of an asset pack that has been downloaded and caches information about it locally. If the asset is available, it will output an integer handle that can be used to access the cached information as needed.
The function RequestInfo takes in a TArray of asset pack names and returns an EGooglePADErrorCode denoting their current status. RequestInfo is not required to initiate a download, but can be used to determine whether remote asset packs are valid.
The function RequestDownload takes in a TArray of strings representing the names of the asset packs you would like to download, then sends a request to the remote service to begin downloading those asset packs. If RequestDownload shows no errors, the asset packs will be downloaded and transferred to the app asynchronously in the background.
Because this functionality is asynchronous, the RequestDownload function does not return information about the downloaded asset pack, other than an error code denoting whether the request was successful. You must use the functions detailed in the Monitoring Download Status section below to check for the download's current status, and to access the asset pack itself you must use GetAssetPackLocation once the download is complete.
The function ShowCellularDataConfirmation will prompt the user for whether they want to download data using their cellular network. If the prompt is already present, you can use GetShowCellularDataConfirmationStatus to return an EGooglePADCellularDataConfirmStatus stating whether or not the user has approved the download.
A result of AssetPack_CONFIRM_USER_APPROVED means that the user has given express approval to use cellular data and downloads should be allowed to proceed. Additionally, If this function returns an EGooglePADErrorCode with a result of AssetPack_NETWORK_UNRESTRICTED, the user is on their wi-fi network and does not need to use cellular data, therefore downloads should be permitted without the need to continue checking this function.
GetDownloadState will locally cache the download status of an asset pack and return a download handle providing access to the cached information. This function takes in the name of the asset pack that you want to download and outputs the handle as an integer. You should keep the download handle cached so that you can continue to monitor the download, otherwise, you will need to re-acquire it.
With a valid download handle, you can call GetDownloadStatus to return the status of the desired asset pack as an EGooglePADDownloadStatus. This enum represents the status of a download as one of several possible states, which are as follows:
You can also use the download state handle to call GetBytesDownloaded, which will return the number of bytes currently downloaded to the user's device, and GetTotalBytesToDownload, which will return the total target size of the download.
Once RequestDownload has run successfully, use GetDownloadState to cache the download state and obtain a handle to access it with. This needs to be called only once, and you should cache the handle as long as you need it.
Use GetDownloadStatus to determine the exact state the download is in. This should also be monitored continuously on tick. When the state returns as AssetPack_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETED, you can stop monitoring the status of the download and access the asset pack.
Implementing your solution in a custom GameState class will enable you to track a download continuously even as you change scenes and game modes. Alternatively, you may want to implement your solution in a front-end game mode that loads on startup so that you can perform necessary patches and updates before starting the game. The exact details of your solution will depend on your project's specific needs for updating assets.
It was recognized more than a century ago that two overlapping populations of primitive and definitive erythroid cells circulate in the fetal bloodstream5. We have previously determined that primitive erythropoiesis in the mouse embryo first emerges as a transient wave of colony-forming progenitors in the E7.5-E9.0 yolk sac that generate a single cohort of circulating erythroblasts that progressively mature in the bloodstream6, 7. Morphologic examination of these cells indicate that they progress from immature proerythroblasts (ProE) at E9.5 to basophilic erythroblasts (BasoE) at E10.5 and ultimately to late-stage orthochromatic erythroblasts (OrthoE) by E12.5 (Fig. 1a). These late-stage primitive erythroblasts subsequently enucleate between E12.5-E16.57, 8. The primitive erythroid lineage is superseded by definitive erythrocytes that emerge from the fetal liver beginning at E11.5-E12.59, and rapidly become the predominant erythroid population in the fetal bloodstream7.
Maturing primitive and definitive erythroblasts share many features, including a progressive decrease in cell size, the accumulation of hemoglobin, nuclear condensation and, ultimately, enucleation to form mature erythrocytes. However, there are also significant differences between these lineages, including cell size, hemoglobin content, and the predominant expression of embryonic versus adult hemoglobins10, 11. Importantly, primitive erythroblasts mature intravascularly, unlike definitive erythroblasts that mature extravascularly before entering the bloodstream as reticulocytes. We have recently determined that late stage primitive erythroblasts in the E12.5 mouse embryo are highly deformable12, suggesting that they form a functional membrane skeleton prior to enucleating to cope with the vicissitudes of the fetal circulation. However, it is not known when during embryogenesis this functional network is established. In addition, little is known about the components that contribute to the membrane skeleton in primitive erythroblasts. Several genes known to be important constituents of the erythroid-specific membrane skeleton of definitive erythrocytes have been identified in late-stage primitive erythroblasts, specifically α-spectrin, β-spectrin, band 3 and ankyrinR13, 14. Actin and α-spectrin have also been localized to the cortex of E12.5 primitive erythroblasts13. To our knowledge, it is not known if primitive erythroid cells express other cytoskeleton-associated genes or if they express and specifically splice Epb41 in an erythroid-specific manner.
To directly assess the deformability of primitive erythroblasts, circulating cells from E10.5 and E12.5 mouse embryos were isolated and placed in dynamic flow channels. Primitive BasoE at E10.5 maintained their spherical shape and failed to deform in flow (Fig. 1d,e). In contrast, the partially concave primitive OrthoE at E12.5 elastically extended in flow, taking on a parachute-like shape reminiscent of human erythrocytes in capillaries due to tank treading (Fig. 1d,e). Primitive OrthoE gradually recovered their shape upon discharge from the channel. These findings indicate that a deformable membrane is specifically established only at late stages of primitive erythroblast maturation.
The erythroid membrane skeleton is anchored to the lipid bilayer to prevent cells from damage and rupture as they undergo shear stress and deformation. The mechanical stability of cells under extension was examined using fluorescence imaged microdeformation (FIMD), where TER119 labeling facilitates tracking the distribution of the membrane-associated skeleton in micropipette-aspirated cells. A proportion of erythroblasts exhibited skeletal-free regions at the tip of the projection within the pipette, representing separation of the skeletal network from the lipid bilayer (Fig. 1f, right panels). Essentially all primitive BasoE formed skeletal-free membrane regions, even at modest extensions (Fig. 2g, E10.5). The frequency of membrane separation significantly decreased in primitive PolyE at E11.5 and further declined in primitive OrthoE at E12.5, though they did not reach the frequency of fully mature adult red blood cells (Fig. 1g). These results indicate that there is a progressive strengthening of the association of the membrane skeleton with the lipid bilayer at late stages of primitive erythroid maturation.
Major cytoskeletal genes are already expressed in ProE and transcript accumulation increases during maturation of primary murine primitive and definitive erythroid cells. (a) Relative transcript levels of cytoskeletal genes in primary definitive (left panel) and primitive (right panel) erythroblasts isolated from adult bone marrow and from staged embryos (ErythronDB: www.cbil.upenn.edu/ErythronDB)16. (b) Expression of cytoskeletal genes in purified maturing primitive erythroblasts was examined using quantitative real-time PCR. At least three independent experiments were performed at each gestational stage. Error bars represent SEM.
While the composition of the membrane skeleton in definitive erythrocytes has been intensely investigated, surprisingly little is known about this network in primitive erythroid cells. We therefore asked if the genes representing the major components of the membrane skeleton in definitive erythroid cells are expressed in primary primitive erythroid cells. To establish a baseline for comparison, we first analyzed the kinetics of expression of 13 genes that constitute the spectrin-based backbone, as well as the major components of the ankyrinR and 4.1R complexes, in primary definitive erythroblasts isolated from the bone marrow of adult mice16 (ErythronDB). As shown in Fig. 2a (left panels), all of these genes encoding for proteins associated with the membrane skeleton are already significantly expressed in ProE and their expression uniformly increased as cells transition from ProE to BasoE in the bone marrow. As expected for the most abundant protein in the red cell membrane, band 3, encoded by Slc4a1, was the most abundant of the transcripts detected. Consistent with their importance in the function of mature red blood cells, the expression of all these genes either continued to increase or remained high in late-stage adult erythroblasts (PolyE/OrthoE; Fig. 2a, left panel). Similar results were evident from an independently established dataset of marrow-derived murine erythroblasts17 (Supplementary Fig. S1). 2ff7e9595c
