Any news on this?

[svermeulen]

Not yet no. But you are welcome to give it a shot and submit a PR :)

I don't know where to start. Could be adding some method like this on InstructionWrappers class?

public static IEnumerator WWWCreateRequest(
    SimpleCoroutineAwaiter<WWW> awaiter, WWW instruction, IProgress<float> progress) {
    while (!instruction.isDone) {
        progress.Report(instruction.progress);
        yield return null;
    }
    awaiter.Complete(instruction, null);
}

If you guid me I could try to do it.

Honestly I'm not sure, I'd have to dig into it some more. It's been awhile since I was in that code, and I am swamped with other work right now

I'm also interested on this.

There are some operations like downloading files that needs progress feedback.

I was able to get progress using a modified form of the above with unity's messaging system. Drawback is you have to know the game object you're showing your progress for.

In my case I want to completely get rid of GameObjects, MonoBehaviours to run a coroutine so I don't like that approach @StephenHodgson. I know that @svermeulen code has a MonoBehaviour that runs all coroutines from static methods but it's "transparent" for us and allows us to don't have dependencies in our own code to Unity API.

[StephenHodgson]

@bdovaz That's def the way to go, but sometimes you have to use a Unity API. (That's kinda the whole point to this wrapper utility)

Hey I was wondering if anyone managed to implement IProgress<> as part of the existing async patterns here? I've not been able to find a way to expose IProgress up to the await callee.
