Re: PARSING PACKAGE

I have no unused assets and I have 1.07 GB of internal memory available



How big is the AIA file?  The limit is 5MB...

There are MANY things that can affect a cloud-based development system, few of which have anything to do with the system itself.  When you're working web-based, your connection has to be good, the connection on the server end has to be flawless, your electrical supply has to be consistent, your computer has to be working, there can be no software glitches with your operating system, the video card and its memory have to be flawless, your cable system has to be completely stable, solar storms have to be at a minimum.  On top of that YOU could make a huge mistake in an important project, and without a backup, have no way to restore your situation other than recreating the work,  etc., etc., etc.  There are just too many factors that affect "flawlessness."

The above factors don't usually matter in a cloud-based action because the action is quick... You put some data, you save some data, you get some data back.  But when you're depending upon non-stop consistency, the only person you can count of for that is yourself.  Unless you make backups, you're always at risk.  So, use the procedure below to make AIA files of your work, on a REGULAR basis, even when you make a small set of changes.  AIA files are small and can easily be deleted if not needed. 

To Export Your Project to an AIA file...

1. Click on the My Projects link at the top of the UI:
2. When the list of projects shows up, put a check mark by the project you want to export
3. Then click on the Project link (notice that they're similarly named but not the same)
4. Choose Export selected project (.aia) to my computer...

That's it.  The file will be saved where all of your other downloads are saved, and it will have the format YourProjectName.aia!



I just tried build one of the apps from a tutorial and got the same message           There was a problem parsing the package.

It was a very small app code wize

Are you still at the library.   You are probably dealing with a firewall.

Is there a way to get around that?

Douglas... I didn't ask you how much code there was... I asked you how BIG the AIA file is.  You can have 2 blocks in a project, and inflate the AIA to 10MB or more with assets.  Export the AIA and tell us how big it is...

Yea I did that my aia is 44 kb
