Thanks in advance!

I have the same setup, and have not run into any issues or complaints at all. You won't be able to take advantage of all the latest features without the newest SDK, but what you have now should not prevent anybody from running your app. Mark Comments Hi @AppOneBeta, It should not be a problem.

So I'm understanding that as can run on latest sdk devices once in the iStore, means Apple won't stop from running on latest SDK devices during user testing. Good! Note for others - Mark's responding to Q1 - I added 2 more just as he must have been posting :) Comments Thanks Mark!

(2) You'll find that .apk and .app versions will always be different sizes. Java vs. Objective C. (3) Xcode will package all the images/files that are in your Xcode project (no matter where they are on the disk). So, remove what you don't want from your Xcode project if you are looking to reduce the app size. But make sure you test it after you remove stuff! Mark Comments Howdy!

Personally, I pass over unnecessarily large apps but it's because I'm running an oldish phone with tiny available memory... Cheers! Comments Really glad you told me that last one!!!

And that usually doesn't include weekends! Mark Comments Takes them 5-7 days on average, for me, to get it reviewed. And that usually doesn't include weekends! Mark
