Resolution Note:
According to the documentation, asset bundles are not guaranteed to be forward compatible. It is recommended to upgrade to the new version.
From https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/unity-asset-bundles-tips-pitfalls:
**Asset Bundles are generally forward compatible, so bundles built with older versions of Unity will in most cases work on games built on newer versions of Unity (assuming you do not strip the TypeTree info, as covered later).
As such, we have decided not to invest time and resources into addressing it. We appreciate your input and understanding, and please let us know if you have any other concerns or issues you would like to report in the future.
