I read on this documentation : https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/app-uploads/on-demand-resources-size-limits that On Demand Resources a legacy technology. Does this mean ODR will be deprecated? If so, when will it officially take effect? Our application is planning to use it, so we need more information to support our decision.
Does this mean ODR will be deprecated?
Yes. We said that explicitly in WWDC 2025 Session 325 Discover Apple-Hosted Background Assets.
If so, when will it officially take effect?
AFAIK there’s no announced timeline. However, the message seems pretty clear to me: It wouldn’t be wise to use ODR in a new product.
Note that the above-mentioned WWDC session also introduced Apple-host background assets, which covers much the same territory as ODR.
Share and Enjoy
