Answer 1

That's your RAM usage, and has nothing to do with the download size.

The download size will be the size of all the png images/videos/etc in your application, plus a tiny bit more for the actual code.

To find out the exact number, do an "archive" build, and in the organiser there is an "estimate size" button.

Answer 2

The size of your app and the amount of memory it uses while running will be different because these are different things.

The size of the app is the size of the IPA on disk (which is a zip file) containing:

• code (e.g. armv7 and armv8 slices)
• supporting files (e.g. graphics, sounds etc...)

I would do an Ad-Hoc build in Xcode and look at the IPA produced in order to get the size.
