Converting .OBJ File Text to a GameObject in Unity?

Question

So what I am trying to do is instantiating a .obj file locally stored on the device AFTER BUILD. I have searched for hours but in vain...
I already managed to make a file explorer in unity, which returns the URL of the selected .obj file. Then I use WWW(string url) load the object.

WWW bundleRequest = new WWW(@"file://" + pathName);

To this point, everything is perfect.
And here is my question: Is there a way to convert the text of the file, so bundleRequest.text to an instantiable GameObject AFTER BUILD? Through any means possible: APIs, extensions, etc.

Thank you in advance

Dont be daft and get the text representation of your obj file, use the downloadhandler to get the raw data. — BugFinder
