When i uploaded my iOS app to app-store, the ipa size was 32 MB. Now my app goes live, now i i checked my app size on app store, it is showing 237 MB on iphone 6, it is showing 252 MB size when i open app link in browser on my PC.
Why this much difference in size of app. Any suggestions?

Use of Multiple Assets in build-up code This revelation was also made by Nelson who made it know that unlike Android apps that use one set of assets (buttons, images, icons etc.) in their codes, iOS apps make use of multiple versions so the apps can fit on different screen sizes of iPhones and iPads.
If you have tested your app on your device during development for the final time before you are ready to upload to App Store, you can go to "Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage" and scroll down the list of apps and find yours. Each app has size listed. That should be a good estimate of your app size.
Because Play Store shows download size, and download file (probably apk) is compressed. When you install app, apk is decompressed and larger.
From Apple:
When your application is approved by Apple to sell on the App Store, it is encrypted for DRM purposes and re-compressed. When the encryption is added, the size of the compressed file will increase. The exact size of the increase will vary from app to app, however, the size increase can be large when the binary contains a lot of contiguous zeros. We are unable to guarantee the size of your file after the encryption has been added.
