Related concept for iOS like "APK Expansion Files in Android"

Question

I'm expecting suggestions for the concept related to APK Expansion Files in Android.

Google Play currently requires that your APK file be no more than 50MB. For most applications, this is plenty of space for all the application's code and assets. However, some apps need more space for high-fidelity graphics, media files, or other large assets. Previously, if your app exceeded 50MB, you had to host and download the additional resources yourself when the user opens the app. Hosting and serving the extra files can be costly, and the user experience is often less than ideal. To make this process easier for you and more pleasant for users, Google Play allows you to attach two large expansion files that supplement your APK.

Does apple give any support like this?

In my case I have 180MB audio file, I don't want to keep that with app resource. After installation I want this download from APPLE store.

I can able to keep this in my server and download when app opens first time, but I would like to know is there any other way to supplement for iPA.

Thanks InAdvance.

Answer 1

The maximum size of your ipa could be up to 2GB. For sizes upper than 50mb will be downloaded through WiFi or from iTunes. ipa less than that could also be downloaded through 3G network. Try to make your app size as minimum as possible as users don't really like apps with larger size.. Well there's no thing here in iOS like APK Extension Files in Android.. Everything is your one single ipa which is compressed form of your binaries and resources.
