It would be great if you could use a platform (android/iOS) as a variant (automatically) with regards to Assets.

A good example is for icons representing actions like sharing. They have platform specific conventions and it would be great if you could just do "assets/icons/share" and have the one that is relevant to the current platform.

    #7111 is also related to the specific share case.

    How important is this for you? We have a way to add support for this, so if it's something you definitely need and don't want to work around we can add it, otherwise it's something we would not add in the near future.

    We built out a mechanism (happy to share) that meets our requirements for now so we are not in a huge rush. Could mark as lower priority.

    @lukef Hi could you please kindly share your mechanism? I am having a possibly related (though different) question here. Thanks!

    Can any of you guys please share the mechanism that you used? I have a similar use case where I want to include the assets only on iOS and not on web/android
    Thanks!

    I think this issue can be closed since #176393 has been merged.

    in #176393, linked issue is #65065.

    From #8230:

    (Why not duplicate of #8230 : I want to bundle those 1MB photos only in Android. Thus, in the final .ipa file of iOS, there are no such photos taking space.)
