Resource Management for Alipay Mini Game Environment

Alipay Mini Game is similar to WeChat Mini Game. There are restrictions on the package size. Resources more than 4MB must be downloaded via a network request.

It is recommended to only save script files in the mini-game packages, while other resources are uploaded to the remote server, and downloaded from the remote server as needed. The download, cache, and version management of remote resources, Cocos Creator has already done it for you. The specific implementation logic is similar to the WeChat Mini Game. Please refer to Resource Management for WeChat Mini Game documentation for details.

Specifically, developers need to:

1. When building, check the md5Cache function in the Build panel.
2. Set the Remote URL in the Build panel. And then click build.
3. When the build is complete, upload the res folder in the mini-game publish package to the server.
4. Delete the res folder under the local publish package directory.
