My uploaded iOS app is showing 28.3 MB size in the App Store app on an iPhone 5s. As per the Estimated App Store file size from iTunes Connect, my app size will be as shown in the image.
My concern is that it is showing the install size (28.4 MB, the amount of disk space that the app will take on the customer's device) in the App Store app on the iPhone 5s.
I think it should be Download Size instead of Install Size. Is anything wrong with the size showing in the App Store? Or is it so?
I have the same issue on my iPad, and if you search the store, it seems to be hidden. If I search the store on my Mac in iTunes, it shows up though.
The direct link to it is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-connect-mobile/id376771144?mt=8
It also is a universal app, so it has an interface designed for the iPad.
Clicking this link on my iPad though still doesn't take me to the actual app. I think this may be a bug in the App Store. I can see it in iTunes on my computer and add it to my iPad that way.
After syncing it to my iPad through my computer, it launches fine, will connect, and looks good. The copyright on the app is 2010 though, so it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while (for example, no retina graphics on iPad). I did have a few times it threw an error saying it couldn't connect. I also don't have any apps in thee right now to test.
You can use the deliver tool and do deliver init in a folder.
Basically you need open the terminal and do:
xcode-select --install
sudo gem install deliver
and then do deliver init in a folder.

The App Store shows the install size because this is the amount of storage space the user requires on the device once the app is installed. The download size is rarely useful. There is nothing you can do to change what is shown on the App Store page.
