    4GB’s is the maximum size your iOS app can be.

    As of January 26, 2017

    App Size for iOS (& tvOS) only

    Your app’s total uncompressed size must be less than 4GB. Each Mach-O executable file (for example, app_name.app/app_name) must not exceed these limits:

    • For apps whose MinimumOSVersion is less than 7.0: maximum of 80 MB for the total of all __TEXT sections in the binary.
    • For apps whose MinimumOSVersion is 7.x through 8.x: maximum of 60 MB per slice for the __TEXT section of each architecture slice in the binary.
    • For apps whose MinimumOSVersion is 9.0 or greater: maximum of 500 MB for the total of all __TEXT sections in the binary.

    However, consider download times when determining your app’s size. Minimize the file’s size as much as possible, keeping in mind that there is a 100 MB limit for over-the-air downloads.

    This information can be found at iTunes Connect Developer Guide: Submitting the App to App Review.


    As of February 12, 2015

    (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. However, consider download times when determining your app’s size. Minimize the file’s size
    as much as possible, keeping in mind that there is a 100 MB limit for over-the-air downloads.

    This information can be found on page 77 of the iTunes Connect Developer Guide.


    As of December 12, 2013

    (iOS only) App Size
