How to implement background asset downloading feature?

I want to use features described in the background assets WWDC22 session (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/110403/).

In earlier versions of Xcode 14 beta there used to be a background asset extension target type, however this got removed in beta 5 and has still not been put back even though Xcode 14 RC is released.

With Xcode 14 beta 4, if the background asset target was chosen then a bunch of template code was created, same as happens with any extension type.

But if the background asset extension target type isn't even present in the Xcode 14 RC, how is one supposed to create an extension and use this new feature?

how is one supposed to … use this new feature?

For the moment you can’t )-:

I can’t say anything beyond that because this situation is still rapidly evolving.
