Building problem with big size app

Thibaut_P_ — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 18:31:08 GMT

Hi,

Since 3088 update, i have a problem when building the app. Intel xdk crashes after 1 minute (version 3088 on windows 7 64 bits, ios)

Before the update, i have no problem. When i delete some files, and the app is smaller, it's ok too.

The size of the app on the disk is 282 Mo.

When the app is smaller (~100 Mo), intel xdk don't crash and the ipa is ok.

I have already send the crash log but is there a solution for that ?

best regards,

Thibaut

I'm wondering if the Brackets

I'm wondering if the Brackets editor is crashing because it is trying to scan all those files. Are you using the "game creator" feature in the XDK? Or is this a standard HTML5 or HTML5+Cordova app? Is your app an export from Construct2?

Hi,

Hi,

Thanks for quick reply!

I'm not using construct2 or other libraries. It's a normal HTML5+cordova app with a lot of JPG files.

Before 3088, the build was ok with the same files.

With smaller app size (with the same files but just smaller in size) the build is ok.

There is a practical limit to

PaulF_IntelCorp — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 20:56:11 GMT

There is a practical limit to the size of an app, the Google Play store will only accept apps up to 100MB in size. An APK is a ZIP file, but since you have mostly JPG files those assets won't compress very well, so the size of your www folder and files within will be a good indication of the size of your final APK.

Thank you but i don't build

Thibaut_P_ — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 21:45:13 GMT

Thank you but i don't build for an apk, i want an ipa for ios.

For ios, app can be larger than 100 mb (i have created a previous app with ~400 mb)

And also, previous version of xdk can generate ipa for ~270 mb...

Does it make a difference if

PaulF_IntelCorp — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 22:35:10 GMT

Does it make a difference if you choose to use CLI 5.1.1 or CLI 5.4.1?

No, same problem with 5.1.1

Thibaut_P_ — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 06:30:46 GMT

No, same problem with 5.1.1 or 5.4.1...

Thibaut -- I'll have to find

PaulF_IntelCorp — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 17:42:28 GMT

Thibaut -- I'll have to find out what the size limits are (if any) of the various bundles that are shipped to the build system. That part of the XDK changed dramatically with this release, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are different limitations regarding the size of the packages that can be pushed for builds.

Thibaut -- there is no size

PaulF_IntelCorp — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 22:23:30 GMT

Thibaut -- there is no size limit on the package sizes that are pushed to the build server (there currently is a limit of 350MB for Debug module builds). I spoke with the engineer in charge of that feature and he asked that we get a copy of your xdk.log file after the XDK crashes. You may get a copy of the log when it crashes, if not, you can find it (named xdk.log) in the main install directory. Paste it to your post using the "attach files to post" button.

Hi,

Thibaut_P_ — Fri, 01 Apr 2016 07:38:03 GMT

Hi,

No size limit, it's a good news!

Please find attached the log.

Thank you !

Thanks, Thibaut -- I've

PaulF_IntelCorp — Sun, 03 Apr 2016 03:35:25 GMT

Thanks, Thibaut -- I've provided the info to the engineer in charge.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I hope the update will be soon! :-)

I am having the exact same

Michel_D_ — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 03:36:00 GMT

I am having the exact same problem. Intel XDK is always crashing when I create a build. My game is about 230 MB. The game contains several .png files (more than 1500).

Can you please help me? This

Michel_D_ — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 04:39:34 GMT

Can you please help me? This is what I get from the logs. It was working fine before I update Intel XDK. Now it's always failing.

Using Intel XDK 3240

Using Intel XDK 3240

intel xdk 3240 have the same

Thibaut_P_ — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 12:31:00 GMT

intel xdk 3240 has the same problem...

We have identified the issue

Swati_S_Intel1 — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 16:36:33 GMT

We have identified the issue with large files upload during build and we are working on the fix. We will update you when the fix is available.

Until that fix is available,

PaulF_IntelCorp — Sat, 23 Apr 2016 00:41:00 GMT

Until that fix is available, you'll need to use 2893 to build large apps. The fix is expected in the next release. Releases are generally done in six week cadences, but we are not allowed to provide you with a date... add six weeks to the 3088 release notes date for an approximation.
