Hi everyone,
I am currently finishing the lite version of my upcoming game Wawa Land.
So as you all know in those periods size matters!
I added AdWhirl with a bunch of Ad frameworks to my app but the problem is that the total weight of ads source files is about 29,2Mo!
I know that this will be reduced by compiling. But after archiving : the .xarchive file's size is 33Mo...
Note that all my graph/audio/script ressources are about 14Mo.

So here is my questions : is this size will be the same after reviewing ? Is it possible to reduce the size of those frameworks (I think not but if I am wrong it would be cool) ?

Thanks to all as always ;)

Hi - I wouldn't worry about the size of the sdk libs and other files (I thought the same initially), its only the final compiled app size you will care about, and it should be much smaller. I have an app using Adwhirl + iAd, admob and MM ad networks, it only adds approx 1MB to the final app size.

@bazcocos
Thanks for your answer ;)
Do you know a simple math to calculate the final size for Xcode 4 archives?
I knew one for zipped .app from Xcode 3, but it seems that we cannot applied it anymore to Xcode 4 archives.

Nope, dont know, apart from the thread on here a while ago about estimating the final size (if thats the one you mean). I'm never even close to 20MB... yet.

Hi,

It's maybe stupid, but if you generate an ipa file, it will be the final size of your app ?
