Determine the filesize of iOS App before submitting to App Store

Apps larger than 20MB in size will not download over cellular networks (App Store Review Guidelines).

How can I test the filesize of my App before submitting? After creating the Archive in Xcode, if I go to "Share..." there are options for creating an "iOS App Store Package (.ipa)" and "Archive", but these result in somewhat different file sizes.

In the organizer, share the app for (ad hoc) distribution via iTunes (not archives). Then, in iTunes, you can locate the app binary and see the size in Finder.

The ipa is the thing that you have to look at. The archive conains debugging information and so that is not uploaded to Apple.
