[FR] Don't process hidden [*]Dependencies.xml files

[vizgl]

Feature proposal

I use custom build script with many conditions. For some builds I want to remove libs. I made it by setting hidden flag on folders to true. In that case unity don't add scripts, resources etc to the final apk file. But EDM is not process such cases. It still read [*]Dependencies.xml files and add *.aar files.

I propose add check for parent folders / files to match hidden flag to false before process it.

Hi @vizgl

That's an interesting use case. We use the AssetDatabase to find the xml files:

unity-jar-resolver/source/AndroidResolver/src/XmlDependencies.cs

Line 62 in 3dfc84a

private List<string> FindFiles() {

unity-jar-resolver/source/VersionHandlerImpl/src/VersionHandlerImpl.cs

Line 2723 in 31ff531

var assetGuids = searchDirectories == null ? AssetDatabase.FindAssets(assetsFilter) :

Based on the Unity documentation, it seems like hiding files should presumably work with that, but maybe it doesn't (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SpecialFolders.html)

It might be a bit of time before we can look into this more. In the meantime, a possibility might be in your script that is hiding/unhiding folders, find and rename *Dependencies.xml files into something else to hide them (and back to the original name to unhide them).
