Comment (by eighthave):

 I guess I didn't understand enough about iOS, which is a very different
 scenario than Android. tla says:

 > From my point of few, this looks like an optimization which should be at
 the very end of any development process. geoip: 4.3MB, geoip6: 2.5MB.
 Minimal disk size in any iOS device: 8 GB. Contained resource files in
 IPAs are automatically unpacked. High chance of app access to IPA file is
 restricted/forbidden, high chance of no mechanism to actually stop iOS
 from unpacking contained resources.
