To change on-demand resources for your game on Apple platforms, you can utilize the Apple frameworks that allow you to pull down additional game data after your app installs. On-demand resources are hosted on the App Store, whereas background assets are hosted on your own database. This approach helps create an installation experience that blends seamlessly with gameplay and is invisible to the player.
