What is Appthinning?

Appthinning:

  • Optimizing app delivery.
  • Reducing app download sizes.
  • Improving the overall user experience.
  • App thinning was introduced by Apple with the release of iOS 9 in September 2015.

Some AppThinning techniques are:

  1. App Slicing - The App Store delivers only the app assets that are necessary for the user's device.
  2. On-Demand Resources (ODR) - Tag certain app resources as optional, such as additional levels in a game or language-specific content.
  3. Bitcode
  4. Asset Catalog Optimization - Asset catalogs are used to manage app assets like images, sounds, and videos.
  5. Resource Compression
