Could you please increase the upload limit for the app IQ file to be larger than 15MB :)

Link to initial discussion thread: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/212864/15mb-upload-limit-for-app-iq-file/1002463#1002463

I seem to have hit a size limit when uploading the IQ file for an app to the store, as I see this error 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 must have been really close to the limit without realising, as I added 3 lines of code to a new version, and suddenly got this

I've currently removed support for the vivoactive 4s, just to get my build under the limit.

And don't you think that 16 is a much nicer programmer number than 15 as it's a power of 2

Although I'm also worried in the future for other things that could increase my IQ package size: adding support for the Venu (which I don't currently), adding support for more future Garmin devices, adding support for more future CIQ versions (currently only support 3.0.x and 3.1.x)

Thank you for listening!

Yes I‘ve seen the same think. I have upload a 18MB file and after a long time the browser say „the CIQ store is not available...“ but the version is updated. I think the browser doesn‘t get a response from the site and runs into a timeout. But the upload is ok now.

Interesting - I just tried uploading a 15MB+ iq file, and at the end it went to a screen saying "the CIQ Store is not available due to scheduled maintenance". Checking back on the app page, the version there has updated to the new one. So maybe the limit has been increased now ...

Hey all,

I've reached out to the store team for an update on priority and timeline. I don't have much else on this one yet though. We do recognize that it's problematic with the growing number of devices.

I have test a little bit with 7zip and LZMA compression. Then my upload file is 650k and not over 15mb. But LZMA compression is not supported from the store. If it possible to support this method, the limit is never a problem.
