How do we enable/Disable App slicing feature of iOS 9

2.3k Views Asked by At

AS iOS 9 is supporting App slicing feature just by adding needed images to image assets and you will get sliced app when download from appstore.

1) My question is do we need to do extra steps for App slicing feature or by just adding image to image assets it will work on Appstore (not like we are checking bitcode feature at the time of upload)

2) How can i deactivate App slicing feature even if i am using image assets.

1) No. You are right as per apple doc it clearly states here

2) I think we can not disable it.

Trying to answer your comment:

Theoretically:- i think if you some how forget to provide @....x image, still app store process will provide an alternative image to specific device. It may be same as @3x/@2x/@1x (what ever developer have provided ). If developer have provided more than 1 image like @1x and @3x both then @3x will be download to all device except @1x supported device.

Practically:-

  • Delete @1x or @2x what ever you want from image.xcasset.
  • Create archive.

  • Export the app for the target device to get ipa.

  • Change the .ipa extension to .zip and unpack the archive.
  • You should be able to see what images are there @1x/@2x/@3x. These are the images which user will be downloading for his device.
