Could not reserve enough heap space when building .apk

Solar2D Android
#1

I’ve just downloaded the latest version of Solar2d and tried to generate an.apk for the Hello World Sample app.

The build is failing with the following:

Process command line: C:\Program Files (x86)\Corona Labs\Corona\jre\bin\java.exe -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252 -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en -Duser.variant -cp C:\Users\Norman\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-6.5.1-all\cdund22i8guosqylfo49op4dv\gradle-6.5.1\lib\gradle-launcher-6.5.1.jar org.gradle.launcher.daemon.bootstrap.GradleDaemon 6.5.1
10:17:14.011  Please read the following process output to find out more:

I’m running Windows. This same Windows machine was able to build an .apk file about a year ago without issue.

I only have 8GB RAM on my Windows. I know it’s not much these days but could this be the problem?

And is it possible to change the -Xmx1G Java option above?

Check that you don’t have a 1GB file in your project folder.

I have this, and more, problems. I just recently compiled an Android app for the Google Play store. A few days later I decided to compile the same app for the Amazon store.

I get this heap error message… it appears that the compile process wants to include a very large folder that I have excluded in the excludedFiles section of build.settings.

When I remove that folder entirely (drag-drop to another location), I get a “Build Error #1 - Error while fetching plugins”.

This has been going on for about a week. No changes to the app since I successfully created an Android version a week ago.

I am sorry to say… the amount of troubleshooting to get a compiled app lately is beyond frustrating. I spend a lot of time uninstalling/reinstalling Solar2D, commenting out plugins in my app, etc. in the hopes that it will work. I think I may have updated Solar2D between the successful and unsuccessful compiles (now using the latest version). but I’ve done this so many times, I am just no sure anymore.

New build is in works which should fix this issue. If it still continues, try rebooting computer. 1gb of memory is barely enough for Android builds :frowning:
