Apple launches the iOS 9 App Slicing function

iOS 9 App SlicingApple released iOS 9 App Slicing during the last night for developers of applications for the iOS platform, or rather relaunched the function that was initially withdrawn due to some problems.

For those of you who don't know this, iOS 9 App Slicing is designed to reduce the space occupied by applications in iPhones, iPads or iPod Touches, our terminals downloading from the App Store only the files necessary for running on our type of terminals, without those that take up unnecessary space.

UPDATED: I explained it to you in this article how to enable iOS 9 App Slicing.

iOS 9 App Slicing was not initially launched due to some problems with the iCloud Backup system, the Apple company promising that they will be solved as soon as iOS 9.0.2 will be launched, which has already happened, so that now the new function can be offered by the developers.

Unfortunately iOS 9 App Slicing only those who have installed will benefit iOS 9.0.2 in your own iDevices because in this version a iOS 9 the problem has been solved, while in previous versions it remains valid and will not allow the use of this function for terminals.

The issue affecting app slicing has been fixed, and device-specific versions of apps will be delivered when downloaded by users running iOS 9.0.2 or later.

iOS 9 App Slicing is a function that greatly helps users of terminals with 16 GB of storage space, the applications installed by them occupying much less space in the devices, so they will be able to record more multimedia content or install more applications.

In order for iOS 9 App Slicing to take effect, developers must modify their applications so that they identify each element of the applications for download on various types of iPhones, iPads or iPod Touches, so don't expect to enjoy it right now.
