Hello all,

I wanted to ask why does windows phone apps and games have larger size as compared to android or ios. On windows phone temple run 2 size is about 140 mb and on android its about 60-70mb, similarly angry birds size is over 100 though I don't know about size of angry birds on android, temple run 1 size is less on android than windows phone. Moreover windows phone also reserves other folder for apps resources etc?

Thanks
 
I saw a video on BUILD 2014 that said XAP files(windows phone apps) must be downloaded with all language packs a data for every country. However APPX files(Windows Phone 8.1 apps) can be download the with the languages and data that are necessary for the users region. Something like that.
