My file size is currently 1 Gig. Will that compress down to publish in App Store?

    @themysticgraphic Hi, 1gb is fine for the store (I think the max. is 2gb).

    The only problem you'll have - probably - is when you publish it via GameSalad.... there have been problems in the past with the service giving time-out with large files, around the 250mb and upwards size... but maybe that's been ironed out now.

    Good luck with publishing it, anyhow. :-) Be interested to hear how you get on, cheers!

    Gyro, have u published an app to the App Store from game salad. I keep reading that apple rejects file sizes larger than 20mb, but most of my apps are larger size.

    Hi, yes, my first app ( https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/build-the-earth-puzzle/id501390758?mt=8 ) is over 60mb and that got published via GameSalad with no problems.

    The 20mb amount you mentioned, that was the maximum file size for users to be able to download straight onto their iDevices (any more than that, it had to be downloaded via a computer).... but now this maximum for downloading straight to a device is 50mb. :-)

    No problem. Sorry man. I'm new to forums. Thank u for answering my question. I would rather listen to someone who has published an official app than these other people any day. Ya, I'm working on a childrens book app. Where u tap the images and they animate. But I've used way too many .png images already.
