Extensive simulations of the longitudinal development of air showers from ultrahigh (UHE) energy gamma rays have been carried out. The shower development is affected by the geomagnetic cascading before entering the atmosphere and by the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect in the atmosphere. AIRES code as well as our original code have been used for cascade simulations in the atmosphere. The analysis of the results shows that the longitudinal development of the showers depend strongly on both primary energy and incident direction. This feature may provide reliable conclusions about the photon fraction in the UHE ( > 5 × 1019 eV) cosmic ray flux.
