What is the actual filesize limit for iTunes connect app?

I have an image-heavy application I'm trying to submit for beta review on test-flight. Currently it targets Universal. When I upload it, it says "in beta review" but it also shows me this warning:

App Store file sizes for Build 0.0.3 exceed the 100 MB app file limit. View App Store file sizes.

So, is it in review or not? Should I not build a universal binary? Also, the link to the "app store file sizes" is broken (js error). Now, I've seen some press releases saying they are now allowing 4 GB apps. I thought the 100 MB limit is only for over-the-air installs, not binary size for apps.

The universal device type variant will be downloaded only by customers using iOS earlier than iOS 9.0. If any of the device variant sizes exceed the 100 MB over-the-air download limit, a yellow warning will display next to the variant size in the table. Apple will also send you an email with this information.

How can I get around this? I do not need to support iOS 8. If that's what's causing this, how can I disable iOS 8 in my xCode build? This is a cordova-based app, so I'm not sure I can do resource tags.

I am going to try not doing a universal binary under the "deployment info" tab... Do I just need to specify the "deployment target" to 9? Do I need to further limit the specific devices?

As I understand it you are limited to 100 MB for cellular installation and 4 GB for WiFi installation.

You probably get a warning when your app is bigger than 100 MB because you're over the cellular limit.
