Description

When loading from embedded bundle, developer provides name of JavaScript bundle file in JavaScriptBundleFile method. Then .bundle extension is hardcoded to be appended to provided filename. That means that whenever bundle file has .jsbundle extension, it is not found.
Is it possible to add .JSBundleFileExtension() method to InstanceSettings, so developer can provide preferred bundle file extension which can be used instead of the hardcoded one?

Research direction

Start in OInstance.cpp at the linked code around line 141, then locate InstanceSettings and the JavaScriptBundleFile method. Make the bundle extension configurable through the requested JSBundleFileExtension method, and verify that an embedded bundle using the .jsbundle extension can be found instead of relying on the hardcoded .bundle suffix.
