Asset Packs enable developers to create and manage larger app bundles by separating assets into different packages. These asset packs can be delivered using three different methods: InstallTime, FastFollow, and OnDemand, providing flexibility in how and when assets are downloaded and installed. The new .NET 9 release simplifies the process of creating these packs using MSBuild Metadata, benefiting both .NET Android and .NET MAUI developers. The guide explains how to set up and manage asset packs within your projects and offers local testing tips.
