Universal iPhone/iPad app size concern


It is recommended by Apple to make universal apps, i.e. one ipa for iPhone and iPad. If I make a standalone iPhone app, it gets approx. 6Mb. If I make a universal app it becomes approx. 19Mb... For iPhone users this is a waste... (size is build up of iPad image resources). This feels wrong to me... Please comment.


Solution

  • If you sell your app, users which own an ipad and an iphone would need to buy your app twice, if they want to use it on both devices. I would prefer the waste of 12mb.
