Server error: could not compile the application. please try again later

[tubbadu]

Hi everyone, today when trying to compile a project to apk, for just a project (others work well) I receive this scaring red message: Server error: could not compile the application. please try again later
I noticed that if I remove all the files loaded, it compiles, but then if I load even one little super small file, it returns this error... is this my fault or a bug?

is this my fault or a bug?

it's a bug

@AyProductions

it's a bug

How do you know it's a bug without looking at the AIA file?

Do you have a lot of blocks or screens?

this is been increasingly reported thats why i know

[gordonlu310]

We still need the AIA file. You cannot judge someone's personality just by looking at their appearance. We need to know if they used a lot of blocks, screens, etc. Also see this.

@tubbadu

for just a project (others work well)

[AyProductions]

then we might solve this by copying the screen elements and media with the blocks to a new project. most probably the OP used more than 1000+ blocks and 20+ extensions

We still do not know a lot of information about the project. Even if they used a lot of blocks and extensions,

@AyProductions

copying the screen elements and media with the blocks to a new project

will still not solve their problem. It is like making the same mistakes, but in a different project. Do they have errors in their blocks? Do they have too many components? We still do not know. Do not make suggestions when you do not know something.

[AyProductions]

let the OP respond then we will see

@gordonlu310:

I have just 3 screens and one extension, but screen1 has a lot of blocks, but I tried to copy the project and remove all of them and it still refuses to compile
if you need the aia file here it is

thanks for your time!

Your images are too big in pixels

[Anke]

Yes @Boban, but no problem to build the APK here.

Btw, the launcher icon should be square and preferably have the following dimensions: 192x192px.

[tubbadu]

@Boban is there a max size limit? in the past I think I uploaded even bigger images and it was never a problem

@Anke just tried to resize it and change the file but nothing changed ):

Canvas: trying to draw too large

Note that just because an image is compressed doesn't imply that it is small. A 1750x2500 pixel image could be fairly small if using PNG compression on an image that is mostly solid colors without a lot of noise. However, in memory it still needs to be held in its uncompressed state, which is roughly 17.5 MB. If you end up loading a few images of this size you will cause the app to run out of memory (Fun fact: my first Android phone allowed apps to use up to 16 MB of RAM).

[Boban]

Try this one with resized images

Biscottino1.aia (1.3 MB)

P.S. it builds as well

[Anke]

@tubbadu

@Anke just tried to resize it and change the file but nothing changed

I only halved the size of the images and the APK will build.
Biscottino2.aia (4.7 MB)

Btw, your aia (with the big images) was built with AI2Offline (no problems).

[tubbadu]

@Boban woah this works!!! thank you very much!

@Anke Thank you too!!
I'll try installing AI2Offline, now I get a strange error but this is not the place to discuss about this, thanks again for your time and kindness!
