What is the max size of an In-App package you can host with Apple?

It is now possible to host your In-App purchases with Apple in the form of a .pkg file, this is really great news since and it means that Apple can now handle the verification process regarding users and what they already purchases.

But my application has an in-app purchase for extra content, in the form of a non-consumable item and the problem is that I've got lots of information in there... Photos (both normal and retina versions), many short video clips and more...

How big can my package file be?

Apple will allow you to upload package files up to 2GB in size. This is also the same size limit for your application.

To upload your Apple hosted In-App purchase you must use the Application Loader.

For more details you can check out the following guide by Apple: Using Application Loader

Page 30 of that document:

When sending a content package for your non-consumable In-App Purchase for Apple hosting, keep the following in mind:

  1. The size of the content package cannot exceed 2GB.
  2. The content package must not contain any executable code or symlinks that point outside the content directory.
  3. You can deliver a new package once your In-App Purchase is live. For your new content to go live, you must submit it for review and approval in iTunes Connect.
  4. To remove files, if your In-App Purchase is not live, uncheck “Host Content with Apple” and resend your package. You cannot remove files once you deliver your package and your In-App Purchase is live.
