[casual_games] Question about iphone game development

[Tom Hubina]

I've never seen any kind of increase in size due to Apple DRM, but I'm  
not using Unity. The reported sizes (in the store / itunes) are the  
same as what we submit. Not sure what you're seeing there ... but it  
would be surprising if Apple was doing something special for things  
built with Unity.
