I published an application in the App Store named HIV Clinical Guide. This application is more than 100 MB, so it is not possible to download it on a cellular network. Normally when you press the download icon in the App Store, you get a popup that you can only download the app on Wi-Fi, because Apple doesn't allow you to download an application that is more than 100 MB by 3G/4G.
The problem is that with my application, the download starts (you see the blue square), but is not really downloading (because using cellular). When switching to Wi-Fi, the circle is filled (so the app is downloading).
The question is why the user doesn't get the popup when on cellular? Now it looks like that notting is happening (and that's correct) but now we get a lot of questions why the app is not downloading.
I cannot find anything about this. Everywhere I look the documentation says that you get a popup…
Any ideas?

Tried to download both the Askers application and an another application over 100MB. Neither I nor the Asker did get the pop-up about downloading large apps over cellular.
It looks like it is a temporary issue with the AppStore.
My recommendation is that you try again tomorrow or the day after that and see if the issue have fixed it self. If not, then you can continue further investigation in the issue.
