Dear all,
This is the problem, failing to build for Android with:
Failed to build APK Warning: Could not find file /var/folders/z2/tmfqnf0n065gqm\_n6vjktjkh0000gn/T/1402569578/MyCoronaActivity-signed-aligned.apk to copy.
Now I’ve tried to use my key, and it fails, I built it with the debug key, and it fails.
I’ve resorted to take a look at the directory where this process is going on. I found the following files:

Notice the " MyCoronaActivity-unsigned.apk" file, and the " MyCoronaActivity-signed.apk" one. The latter kept growing in size until the error appeared. Then, Corona deleted the whole temporary directory, and I could not retrieve the contents after the failure for further inspection.
My application contains several videos, and it built successfully before I added them all! The videos are ~1.16GB collectively, with a maximum size of 120MB.
Now, just for the fun of it, I’ve moved my videos outside the project root, so I have an apk of ~1GB, and it freaks me out because it built successfully. The freaking part? I’ve successfully built another application with a comparable size and video number a couple a years ago, flawlessly.
I’ve added some videos, next, just to see if it builds, and it does! Notice as the apk gets both signed and aligned, builing a successful apk on my desktop.

Putting the rest of the videos in the original folder, results in failure.
So my question is, is there some size limit on Android applications? I am not using expansions right now, I need debugging on a real device, so a simple 2GB apk is perfectly fine with me.
Thanks!
