How to find the size of your app? Stay under 20 MB

So I really want to stay under 20MB for my app. That way it can be downloaded without wi-fi.

How can I find the exact size of the installed app? Is it the size fo the .app file or the one of the zip?

The app doesn’t show in itunes list, since I install it from xcode organizer.

Any tips?

Build your app with Corona. Don’t forget all the required resources, such as Default.png, Icon.png, etc.

Store the resulting file in a Payload folder, then compress the Payload folder.

The resulting zip file is identical to the final IPA you’ll be sending up, and the file size of the zip file is what iTunes will be determining if it’s too big for 3G downloads.

I’m at 18MB and packed to the gills with Facebook and OpenFeint, etc. [import]uid: 6084 topic_id: 7038 reply_id: 24655[/import]

Thanks so much for your help. What is a Payload folder. Do you mean the .app file that I get?

If so. Then the Zip file that Corona creates automatically should be the final size of the .ipa that should be under 20MB?
