Questions tagged [on-demand-resources]

On-demand resources (ODR) is introduced in iOS 9. ODR are app contents that are hosted on the Apple App Store and are separate from the related app bundle that you download. They enable smaller app bundles, faster downloads, and richer app content.

iOS 9 introduces On Demand Resources, enabling the efficient delivery of rich games and full featured applications using dynamically loaded content.
