15MB upload limit for app IQ file?

I just made a 3 line change to an app, built it and tried to upload the IQ file, but I seem to have hit an upload limit!

I got this message:

The following errors were detected in your app file

  • The uploaded file is bigger than 15 MB. Your file size is : 15733151 bytes.

I guess this will be a problem as more and more devices are released, as each one increases the size of the IQ file. In order to get my upload to work I've temporarily removed the Vivoactive 4s. In fact I've only just started supporting more display sizes with this new app.

Is this limit likely to be increased? And in the near future?

Or should I just create 2 versions of my app, and split devices between the 2 different versions? (Which doesn't seem ideal as reviews and downloads will be split across the 2 of them …)

  • Woah! So the debug.xml files that mentioned look as though they make up 66% of the total package size!!! Ahh that is when unzipped at 600kB per prg, when zipped only 45kB, whereas the prg zipped is 150kB. Removing just one debug.xml would still probaby get me under the limit though Slight smile
