Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
In my current app, I am having a large amount of JPEG pictures. Currently the app sits at the borderline of 20 MB. But I am putting a couple of more features in so it is more likely to be somewhere around 23MB when the app is done.
Is there anyway to compress those JPEG pictures in the app, so when user download the app, the JPEG archive will unpack and decompress the pictures so my app can sit below 20MB in app store?

JPEG images do not compress well, if at all. About the only thing you can do is to compress them in PS or another image editor that lets you control the quality setting, and lower the quality (resulting in smaller images.)
Apple generally recommends using PNG images rather than JPEG. The build process compresses the PNG images, and they may be smaller as PNGs than JPEGs. You might want to do a controlled test. Put a PNG into your project and a JPEG version of the same image, then open the .app file and compare the size of the compressed PNG with the JPEG.

2. You can always lower the quality of the JPEGs. More info:
