You should know that when a developer wants to upload his app to the iOS App Store, he must take into account important data, thesize of it. In fact, the App Store imposes adownload limit. In short, when the iOS device is connected to the cellular network (3G or 4G typically), it cannot download apps that are too large. The limit was previously set at150 Mo. Apple justincrease it to 200 MB:
As a result, an app that weighs more than 200 MB upon download cannot be installed by the user on their iPhone or iPad connected to the cellular network. To use the app, you must connect to a Wi-Fi network.
It should also be noted that the size limit takes into account the app in compressed format, thus offered on the App Store. Once installed, an app always weighs more than the file actually downloaded.
This new increased limit follows the current trend of mobile plans increasingly stocked with internet data. Follow by the waycurrent promotions here. But it still remains impossible to download apps over 200 MB over 3G/4G, which is the case formany games. Some of themsometimes weigh several gigabytes.
Do you often encounter this download limit per app when you are connected via 3 or 4G on your iPhone/iPad?
