34 gb update rule

Triple A games be like
App updates can have a maximum size of 34 gigabytes on the play store. Look up android rule 34 for more info.
- same with apple. google apple rule 34
- Why does this only apply for Android 18?
wtf
- App name is very likely referenced inside every class file. Changing the name triggers a change for every file in the project. Depending on the version control software it may consider that grounds to re-download the entire file on update.
  The actual change may have only consisted of 180mb of changes but it affects 34.1GB of files.
  
  I'm not a mobile app developer so I'm a bit confused. Why would every class need to refer the app name? Isn't it enough of the pom file (or whatever the equivalent is that has to package the app) knows it?
- What if the new name is very long?
- Nope it was literally a 34 gb update
If I may ask, which app is this about?
- Its resident evil village on the mac app store
That's a big name.
