iphone app size

Question

As far as the 20 MB App limit goes for 3G connections. Which value do they use to determine the size? Is it the actual .app file or the resulting zip/ipa that's uploaded to the app store?

Does anyone have any solutions for compressing pdf's in an iphone app?

Answer 1

The zip/IPA file determines the size.

You could always have the app download the PDF's from a remote server after it is installed. That way they do not have to be included in the bundle.
