Question

AIR app for iOS - .ipa size after Stripped swf

Dear All,

Good day!

I have developed AIR app for iOS. The actual size of the .ipa is 50MB and when I extract it in the iPAD, the size of the app goes beyond 500 MB which is not allowed by Apple. The size became 50MB because of stripped swf in it to make the script works from external loaded file. Is there any solution to strip the external swf in run time of app? or any other solution to make works external file's script without strip?

Please help me.

Thanks in Advance

and why are you extracting an ipa file instead of installing it?

Hi kglad,

Good day!

Sorry for the confusion. We are not extracting any files. The maximum executable file size declared by Apple is max 500 MB for MinimumOSVersion is 9.0 or greater. As of now our app (.ipa) size is 56 MB and the executable file size became 360 MB (because of stripped files). But the thing is we still need to add more stripped files in it and we are expecting the executable file size may go beyond 500 MB and even more. We worry about this only.

The size details we came to know from this link -> www.stackoverflow.com/questions/4753100/max-size-of-an-ios-application

So, we are thinking how the external swf file's script to make it work without stripping. Is there any other method? Please advice.

Thanks,

I thought that only the executable part had a limit, of 80 MB, or something like that. The IPA itself can be several gigabytes without a problem.

Did you get a rejection message from Apple?

Hi Colin,

Good day!

Thanks for your quick reply. Actually we came to know that the executable file size should not exceed more than 500 MB for MinimumOSVersion is 9.0 or greater. As of now our app (.ipa) size is 56 MB and the executable file size became 360 MB (because of stripped files). But the thing is we still need to add more stripped files in it and we are expecting the executable file size may go beyond 500 MB and even more. We worry about this only.
