Still experimenting with MobiOne Studio. It has wonderful ease of use, but I’ve run into a snag. My created web app program is now running over 1MB and will not upload to the Test server. Can you tell me if this limitation is because web app files should not generally exceed 1MB in size for iphone web apps?

I think this goes back to my first unanswered question regarding general web app speed as the size of the pages and images increase, but not sure.

TIA

There are 2 factors that led up to the 1MB upload limit to AppSync:

1) When we first built AppSync we ran some test cases and found naive users doing silly things like inserting 1+ Mb images into their bloated designs and then complaining about slow performance… This led us to impose a 1Mb limit to try and get developers to learn to create lean designs.

2) the cloud upload facility used by AppSync requires that uploaded apps be completed within 30 secs. As apps get larger the probability increases that on some slow networks the upload will timeout… The 1Mb limit seems to work well in most geographic settings.

Because we have had a number of requests to extend the 1Mb limit we are reevaluating our cloud platform with the requirement that AppSync can support a larger upload and download payloads and timeframes. In the short term, if the bulk of your app design is contributed by images try using an image compression tool such as http://optipng.sourceforge.net/

Thanks for the quick answer Wayne.

Sadly, I’ve already optimized and compressed the .pngs. I will check out the optimizer that you recommended. It may do a better job than mine. My app is image intensive as it is educational and it depends on the images for learning. May not work with this environment.

Hi Wayne:

I sent you an email on April 30. It didn’t bounce back to me so I’m thinking that your system received it. Let me know if you didn’t get it. I’m excited about the possibility of a work around.

Thanks,

Rachel,

I was wondering if you responded. I went back and reviewed all support tickets for last 2 weeks and did not see anything from you. Can you resend me your contact info with a brief message about the 1Mb upload limit. Send to
support at genuitec dot com

In the subject field use “For Wayne on MobiOne”.

[Just4Fun]

Wow! Wayne.

Going back through two weeks worth of emails is a lot of work for you. Thanks for your effort on this. I’ve just sent you the information again. Hope that you get it OK this time.

-Rachel
