Hi, the smallest .app file I can make is about 8.6 Mb (for HelloWorld for the iPhone). When I go to Settings/General/Usage/ it says the app size is 11.2 Mb. I downloaded a game called Walkabout Lite which I think uses Corona yet it is 9.4 Mb in Settings/General/Usage/ and it has hi-res graphics on my iPad.
The comparison page says subscribers get “optimized app size”… I was wondering how big the HelloWorld app is when you are a subscriber? Thanks. [import]uid: 129136 topic_id: 23134 reply_id: 323134[/import]
Hey there, Hello Word app as a subscriber using 704 is …
1.5MB - Compressed
3.4MB - Uncompressed
(Apple only cares about the compressed size, just FYI.)
This includes a lot of vital stuff so doubling the amount of code, adding 2x the images, etc. will only increase the size by small amounts, not double it.
I hope this helps

Thanks! Btw I found a post which says It is 2.2 mb…

Also if you do a google search for:
minimum ios corona filesize “300 kb”
It says many times that the minimum size is 300 kb… I wonder how they did that… [import]uid: 129136 topic_id: 23134 reply_id: 92535[/import]
That post is 8 months old so some things have changed since then but 1.5mb compressed (the only size Apple cares about) is still very impressive for a functioning app ready to run on your device.

What is the minimum app size of android app? A hello world app takes more than 4 MB. How to minimize app size? Eg: remove unwanted libs… [import]uid: 134566 topic_id: 23134 reply_id: 106781[/import]
