loadRemote CDN based presigned URL

Hello,

I am loading a CDN based presigned URL through assetManager.loadRemote. I am using cocos 3.8.3. The url contains a png. However the URL doesnt end with “.png”, hence I am passing the extension as mentioned in the doc.

My code is as follows -

        if ( url.includes("png"))
         {
             ext = ".png";
         }

        assetManager.loadRemote<ImageAsset>(url, {ext: `${ext}`}, function (err, imageAsset)  {
            if (err) {
                reject(err);
            } else if (imageAsset instanceof ImageAsset) {
                // Convert ImageAsset to Texture2D
                const texture = new Texture2D();
                texture.image = imageAsset;
                resolve(texture);
            } else {
                reject(new Error("Loaded asset is not an ImageAsset"));
            }
        });

I verified the ext is “.png”. It is able to load it and it does assign - texture.image = imageAsset;. However when I later do this -

                    // Create a SpriteFrame and assign the texture
                    const spriteFrame = new SpriteFrame();
                    spriteFrame.texture = texture;
                    this.sprite = this.node.getComponent(Sprite);
                    this.sprite.spriteFrame = spriteFrame;

It seems to assign it. However my node’s sprite’s spriteFrame is still null. It doesnt get set. What could I be doing wrong ? Thanks in advance for your help!
