On-Demand Resources: Keep Your App Bundle Slim
On-Demand Resources (ODR) host app assets on the App Store, not in your bundle, shrinking your initial download. Use it for game levels or tutorials not needed at first launch. The OS downloads assets by "tag" when requested, but can also purge them to save.
On-Demand Resources (ODR) host app assets on the App Store, separate from your main app bundle, shrinking your initial download. It's ideal for lazy-loading content like game levels, rarely-used features like a first-launch tutorial, or assets for in-app purchases. You group resources with string "tags" and request them at runtime. The OS handles downloading and storage, but it can also purge assets when space is low, so your app must be ready to re-download them.
