In AppStore Review Guidelines, the following point is given
Apps larger than 20MB in size will not download over cellular networks (this is automatically prohibited by the App Store)
Please clarify me is it .app file size or whole application file size
(iOS only) App Size iOS App binary files can be as large as 4 GB, but each executable file (app_name. app/app_name) must not exceed 60 MB. Additionally, the total uncompressed size of the app must be less than 4 billion bytes.
"Apps are getting bigger because iOS devices are more powerful, and developers are building more and more complex things for them without considering the impact the size will have around the world," developer Stephen Troughton-Smith tells Gadgets 360.
Google boosted its maximum app size from 50MB to 4GB today, according to the Android Developers blog. "Android applications have historically been limited to a maximum size of 50MB.
The maximum size for app store is 2GB.
I have worked on some apps that were slightly about 2GB and were rejected. Had to make it go below 2GB.
I suggest you make your app less than 2gb, then download the remaining stuff once the app is launched. Thats probably the only way you can go about distributing such a big app.
PS: unless you do Enterprise builds, where there can never be a limit, except for the device on which you install it.
That size limit refers to the compressed IPA bundle, not the .app folder. You can get a rough idea of how big the IPA (as downloaded from the App Store) will be by zipping up the app.
