JAKARTA Applications on the App Store don't take up too much internal storage space because of the limitations Apple has implemented. Over the years, Apple has limited the size of iOS applications to 2GB. This limit is a problem for some developers who need more space, especially for game app developers. The reason is, the application continues to increase so that its size can change. Apple realizes that the 2GB size limit is too small to implement at this time. Therefore, in the iOS 18 beta 2 release record reported from 9to5mac, Apple increases the app size limit to 4GB. That is, developers can already distribute applications with a size of more than 2GB and no more than 4GB on the App Store. Although the restrictions have been added, developers can still apply small app bundle systems. This system allows developers to distribute applications in small sizes and expand their size through application usage. Every time users download additional levels in games, for example, the capacity of the application will increase.

This is the right way to save storage. The reason is, heavy application users such as games can adjust their storage by deleting unnecessary assets. This method will help reduce storage. This capacity update will benefit the console game presented on iOS. Developers can access iOS 18 beta 2 to view capacity updates or wait until the public version of iOS 18 beta is released in July.
