Your unofficial distribution of Avatar Optimizer may be outdated. If users use outdated version, they may encounter bugs that have already been fixed in the official distribution. In addition, since Avatar Optimizer doesn’t guarantee forward compatibility, if your users use a newer version of Avatar Optimizer than your unofficial distribution and downgrade it to outdated version, some problems will be caused.

There are recommended ways to guide your users to the official distribution of Avatar Optimizer.

If your asset is distributed via VPM, let users install Avatar Optimizer via VPM as well.
Declare Avatar Optimizer as a dependency of your asset in your package.json and guide your users to add the Avatar Optimizer VPM repository to VCC. Here is the link to add the Avatar Optimizer Official repository to VCC.
