Does building the app upload all the assets to Corona Labs servers or just code?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Could someone please explain what data is uploaded to the Corona Labs servers every time an application is built? Is it only the .lua files or does it include every single asset in the directory, that is, sounds, images, etc.?

If all the assets of my app are around 100MB, are these 100Mb uploaded to the Corona Labs servers? Are they uploaded on every build?

Since the resulting app file that is returned from the servers contains all the resources in it, I presume that the resources are all uploaded to the servers to create it. [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 30080 reply_id: 120456[/import]

I wouldn’t say so

During build you have output in console saying:

Compressing/copying PNG (...)badge.png to (...)App.app/assets/textures/badge.png

My guess is that only code is uploaded, assets are put in package locally. [import]uid: 41153 topic_id: 30080 reply_id: 120464[/import]

I’ve spoken to Corona about this before. They just build your source code on the servers (and then its deleted as soon as your build is done). Your assets are kept locally. [import]uid: 122310 topic_id: 30080 reply_id: 120480[/import]
