Simulator enforces lower JSON size limit than real devices in SDK 9.1

It seems that SDK 9.1 introduced changes to how the simulator handles JSON size limits. The release notes state:

“Enforce max JSON response size limit for BLE web request.”

However, it now appears that the limits enforced by the simulator are lower than those on real devices.

I have attached an example JSON. It works correctly on my Epix Pro Gen 2 using a sideloaded app compiled with SDK 9.1. In the simulator, the same JSON now results in a -402 error.

  • After reading in the forum that the Edge 850 already has CIQ 6.0.0, and since I own that device, I ran some additional tests.

    On the physical Edge 850, monkeyVersion is indeed reported as CIQ 6.0.0. And the device can handle much larger JSON responses, both in the simulator and on the physical device.

    This suggests that (a) the new limit enforced by the simulator is device-specific, and (b) it does not appear to be related to CIQ 6.0.0.

    Another noteworthy observation is that the new simulator limit also affects other latest-generation devices. In the simulator, the Fenix 8 Pro shows the same limit as the older Epix Pro Gen 2 that I tested earlier.

  • in reply to the-ninth

    The 9.1.0 release notes show some thing, and some devices are getting CIQ 6.x, at least in beta FW..  The QRcode generation is one thing I've seen in the API doc...

  • Look for devices that are getting CIQ 6.x as that would be the first place I'd expect to see it.

    Is there already any communication about what CIQ 6 will bring and which devices will support it?

    When it comes to memory limits, I always leave "breathing room" and don't push to the max, as in the past there have been cases where a new version of CIQ has resulted in less memory for things.

    Same here. Because of the variable nature of my app, I have invested a lot of effort into handling the various platform limits, such as web requests, memory, Storage, and the Watchdog, in a way that avoids crashes.

    And yes, if such a limit is really implemented, I will find ways to work around it. But I am genuinely wondering what the reasoning behind it would be.

    NETWORK_RESPONSE_TOO_LARGE-402

    API Level 1.0.0

    Serialized response was too large.

    NETWORK_RESPONSE_OUT_OF_MEMORY-403

    API Level 3.0.0

    Ran out of memory processing network response.

  • in reply to the-ninth

    No, I've run into Out of Memory (-403 status) on older devices like the 520plus but it works fine on newer devices like the 830. Same logic app, same JSON payload. Both are BG processing. And the 403 status suggests it is the network payload I believe.
