Canvas: trying to draw too large

Try instead of publishing an APK to Google Play, use an AAB.

You're not the first person to encounter this problem before, some of us also had this issue.

@Gordon_Lu is more qualified; I wasn't even able to open the file. My last parting words of wisdom are "make sure you don't have any very large images"

Try to remove some big files that you do not need.

Asset limit for APK: < 10 MB, better < 5 MB

Asset limit for AAB: < 20 MB, better < 5 MB

I saw the same blogs.

They say that is a problem in android, android try to resize the image and that close the app.

The problem is not the files, the problem is the first app run

You can't I believe; those people are working with Android Studio, which is a different platform altogether (a very similar one though).

As Gordon said, try using (packaging and publishing as) an AAB instead of an APK and see if that works.

I guess the main reason is still the assets, so it affects the first time loading but the second time is OK. Installing an app on Google Play does have some differences than directly downloading the app through the build QR code.

Meanwhile, I noticed that some of your images were text that could be easily replaced with the Label component, and sound files that could be replaced.with TextToSpeech. Please use built-in components to replace them.

Also don't forget that you can use a URL as a source for Images, Players and Sounds. You can upload a sound or image file in Google Drive, share it so that anyone on the web can view, and copy the share link. In you blocks (not in the Designer), set the Image/Player/Sound 's Picture/Source to the URL.

It is probably the image loaded to the canvas imageSprite OBJ_TABLERO on your TABLERO screen

Try loading it on screen initialise with a clock timer, to give the canvas some time (@250ms) to set its size before loading the image

If your app has a 1750 by 2500 image, is it intended for a phone the size of a handball court?

Note that just because an image is compressed doesn't imply that it is small. A 1750x2500 pixel image could be fairly small if using PNG compression on an image that is mostly solid colors without a lot of noise. However, in memory it still needs to be held in its uncompressed state, which is roughly 17.5 MB. If you end up loading a few images of this size you will cause the app to run out of memory (Fun fact: my first Android phone allowed apps to use up to 16 MB of RAM).

I think it is solve. Let me explain. when the sprites are loading they go outside of the screen, so my canvas change its size. Let me explain you.

Before the srpites load outside of the canva so I think is the reason of the error.

Compressing the sprites less than 10 MB might do the work (fix it).
