Can we submit separate ARM6 and ARM7 Universal binaries to appstore?

Our app is 13.3MB in size and over 20MB after submission (22.8MB to be precise after stripping everything back as much as possible). It is a universal binary (iPad/iPhone) and compiled as a fat binary (ARM6/ARM7).

If I build only ARM6 or ARM7 it will be 10MB and squeeze under the 20MB submission size.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Peter

You should compile for armv6 only if you want to support pre-iPhone 3GS, but you can happily compile armv7 for iPhone 3GS/iPhone 4/iPad/iPad 2 support. You can't submit two binaries for the same application, though. You have to choose one or the other.

Alternatively, if you can extract some of the image or audio/video resources from the app and put them on a webserver somewhere, you can then make your app fetch and cache them to the disk at first start. That way, you'll be able to submit a fat binary, but it'll still also have access to all of the app's resources.

Apple may no longer be accepting armv6-only binaries, as those were for pre-iOS3.x, which Apple states that they no longer accept.
