How do I load textures from Internet using TextureAtlas in IOS?

Question

First I added textures to the project before compilation and SKTextureAtlas created a set of textures with correct size based on .atlasc folder. But when the number of textures grows it becomes not rational to store them in project so I started to load them from net. SKTextureAtlas doesn't assemble them but asks to add them manually by picture. I use TexturePacker to store textures. How to work with textures loaded from net? Or how to cut out them from texturePacker correctly using JSON or .plist?

You can simply create SKTextureAtlas at runtime using class method: atlasWithDictionary:. Just feed it with images you downloaded from anywhere.
