Apple Increases App File Limit from 2 GB to 4 GB
Apple announced on Feb 12th that the maximum downloadable app size has increased from 2 GB to 4 GB, thus giving developers the opportunity to create apps that can reach up to 4GB in size. These news will most likely please many developers whose game apps require a lot of space due to their extremely detailed and high quality graphics and gameplay systems. With this new rule update, they will be able to act more freely without being restricted by the limited file size (which probably had a cost in terms of quality and contents in some apps).
More specifically, Apple made the following announcement:
The size limit of an app package submitted through iTunes Connect has increased from 2 GB to 4 GB, so you can include more media in your submission and provide a more complete, rich user experience upon installation. Please keep in mind that this change does not affect the cellular network delivery size limit of 100 MB.
Hopefully we’ll get amazing new games that will take advantage of the new rule and bring even more masterpieces to our devices.
