iOS Question .IPA file size

[Marcus Araujo]

I wonder what is the normal .ipa file size....

My project stats:

• Amount of Libraries: 15
• Code size (.bas and .b4i): 174 kb (around ~5000 lines)
• Files folder size: 1.35 Mb
• Objects folder size (/bin, /src and rc.dat): 3.55 Mb

These are the libraries being used: iBarcode, iCore, iDateUtils, iEncryption, iFirebaseAnalytics, iFirebaseAuth, iFirebaseNotifications, iHttpUtils2, iHUD, iJSON, iLocation, iRandomAccessFile, iRSA, iStringUtils, iTopNotifications.

The IPA file is 56Mb. Is that too much?

What is your Files folder size?

The large size is related to iTopNotifications. This is a swift based library so several swift related libraries must be added. The good news is that the actual size of the installed app will be much smaller. Around 9mb.

Hmm... so the user will download 56Mb but will effectively be installed 9Mb? I will look up for an alternative. How did you find out iTopNotifications take that much? That would be a good use for future projects.

No. The app size is 9MB.
The user will download 9MB. You can see it if you download B4i - Coordinates Calculator from the store.
