App Thinning is a set of optimization techniques used by Apple to reduce the size of apps and improve the installation experience for users. It involves several strategies, including the use of on-demand resources, which allow apps to download additional data after installation. These resources are hosted on the App Store, enabling a seamless and invisible experience for the player. This approach is particularly useful for games, as it allows developers to manage game assets efficiently and ensure that the app's installation process is smooth and quick.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session titled "Design advanced games for Apple platforms" from WWDC 2024, which discusses these concepts in the context of game development.
