Thanks for the additional information. I’ve passed it on. We are still looking into the issue.
Rob
The app is right 1.5GB.
At this point I think the number increases to infinity.
Are there novelties? I’m not how to behave I’d like to update apps as soon as possible
As a short-term solution, have you tried turning off video ads in the appodeal control panel?
The team is looking into this. We don’t have an answer yet.
I understand … then I’m waiting for response
I think I’ll do an app update within 1 or 2 weeks maximum.
Are there novelties about this or should I change plung?
The app arrives over 2.5Gb is not an acceptable thing …
I’m trying to get an update.
Rob
Thanks so much Rob
I hope there are updates sooner or I will be forced to change plung…
I would not for more reasons
any update on this? I was wondering why my app was growing so large as well…would be esy if I could fix my issue with a new Appodeal plugin. thanks
Have any of you tried turning off video ads or particular networks to see if it would help?
happy to know I’m not the only one to have problems
I did not try it would take too long and it might be useless in the end
This was solved with the update today? I did not read anything about Appodeal about it …
Sorry gang, I’ve been out for a couple of days. I was not aware of an update today. I’m trying to find out more information.
Rob
Is there a link to your app or a way we can get the APK for it? If needed you can upload it to DropBox or Google drive and send a link to support. If we could get the source project that could be even more useful. We don’t do anything with it other than try to find the cause.
Rob
Here are the direct links:
iOS:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beat-the-air/id1264749322?l=it&ls=1&mt=8
Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmano.games.beattheair.go
As for the code I did simple video playback and banner calls at the end of the level, nothing other than what the proper documentation says: https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/appodeal/index.html
What device/operating system combination are you seeing this happen on? We tried running your app and it grows about 150mb which is in the normal range.
Thanks
Rob
Also when did you last build to test this? The team would like you to build against the latest plugin.
Rob
We have checked “Beat the Air” as well, for iOS and for Android - didn’t found something strange. Played about 15 minutes, watched interstitials, videos, banners but app’s size didn’t increase much. Basically, we have just downloaded the apps through the links that you have provided. Android version increased on 20 mb after 15-minute play (which is normal). Could you please describe more specifically how to reproduce the app size increase?
Well here is more help. I think it is AdColony but I am not sure. First I have never seen it on iOS. This is a simple app (finally moving Chess Clock Pro from Marmalade to Corona). But as of now, it is just a shell. One square image in the middle. You press it and you get an ad.
I am very casually hitting the button this morning while watching football. I also created a segment and turned off all the interstitials so it is all Video Ads. The app started under 50MB as I write this it is over 200MB. When it hit 100MB I turned off AdColony (via the segments) waited an hour and started the app again. I couldn’t get the app to go over 114MB. I then turned AdColony back on waited and started hitting the button casually. The app is now over 200MB.
Looking online it isn’t just Appodeal having the issue. Some people are programmatically clearing the cache when they use AdColony before the app closes. I couldn’t find a way to clear the cache from the corona api.
I apologize for the wait I had commitments on the weekend.
The tests I’ve performed are mostly on android devices, different tablets and smartphones.
The test was done in this way:
_5 minutes of playing watching video and various rewards
_Then it was I closed the app. and I reopened it
_5 minutes of playing watching video and various rewards
_Then it was I closed the app. and I reopened it
etc. This for several times
from time to time I run the screens that I now attach to you:
These come from the version I shared with you.
Rob asked me to try to create a new version. However if you have not yet understood the problem I doubt it was solved with updating. Anyway I do an attempt
Hi all,
exactly the same pb for me !
i have a beta-tester, playing my game for 2 months, and here is the result of data report for him :
Data : 1,55 Go !!!
Whereas i don’t save a lot of thing on DB, only some records. it should never go so up.
I have implemented appodeal rewarded video… so the pb come from this ?
So, is it a pb or not that the data of my app will increase so much again and again ?? can it freeze the phone ?
Do Appodeal will found a solution soon ?
Thanks
