Maximum app size, iPad

Hi

I've read elsewhere that an ipa can be max 2GB in size, but any data downloaded after that is only limited to the amount of storage on the device. Can someone confirm this is the case with AIR for iPad?

My app is small but will need to download and play large videos, and preferably keep them on the device.

Thanks,

rich

See page 172 of this PDF (about the 2GB limit):

I can't think of a reason the limit would be any different for an AIR app.

One complication is that if you save things into the wrong place, Apple may reject the app. Read this article for some tips:
