I finished my app yesterday. The app size is 209mb. Now i noticed that the file size limitation of the android market is 50mb.

I have a lot of attachments in my app. Over 2000 jpg´s. Is there any way to split the attachments? I am working with Flash Profesional CS 5.5.

Best regards

Development

The issue is the SecurityDomain. When downloading ABC swf files remotely at runtime, expansion file or not, there is no way to move those files to the app:// directory. Since they are not bundled with the app, they cause a SecurityError upon loading.

Adobe? Anything to say? This poses a serious limitation to applications that deal with a large amount of assets.

Hi,

It seems that one may use this feature of Google play without requring any support from the AIR runtime. You may upload your expansion files with Google play and load them at runtime using AIR's File API.

May be I am missing something here? Could you please elaborate about the kind of support you require from AIR runtime for this to work for you.

How would you make that expansion file, if your initial APK was 100 MB?

Are the JPEGs in the library, or external? If they're not external, could they be? They could sit inside of external swfs, that way you could load in a bunch in one go.

Assuming you can make the app be below 50MB, Google have a scheme where you can have a lot more content that downloads after the app is installed. There is extra forms to fill in, and I'm glad I didn't go above 50MB!
