10 screens (I know its a lot, but I need them all)
Thousands of Blocks (I know its a lot but I need them)
Before nb181b I had no problem concerning the number of blocks and screenswhen building the app (it was slow and took some time, but no error), it all happened with the new update.
I am using 3 Extensions (Tools, WIFI and Mail from Taifun) and disabled them all 3, but no change
I made some modifications in the app, but I can not even compile the working build from December (which I compiled more than 20 times…)
I have to be gone in half an hour so i have still some time. I can promise not to reveal any company information. I am a registered nurse so i already have professional secrecy
... you should never use Edge, it's not compatible. I'm wondering if it is possible for the use of Edge to introduce corruption of the .aia........

That suggests there is an issue with either the Browser, or perhaps something subtle has changed on the App Inventor Build Server that has introduced an issue with larger files (though you are not the only one with large files but are the only one reporting an issue).
Currently I would recommend FireFox as being the best for App Inventor - make sure App Inventor is King of your Broadband - run only FireFox, only App Inventor and also ensure someone else in the house/office is not hogging Broadband.
Another possibility is that an Anti-Virus software is silently inspecting the App Inventor Build Process and in so doing, interrupting it.
The final concern is your insistence that your Project has to be big, with 10 screens and thousands of Blocks. I'm sorry but that is absolutely not true. For a start, using Virtual Screens, all of your 10 could be on just one Screen. If you have a huge amount of blocks, is it possible that you are not defining the code as efficiently as possible? Are you using the "Any Component" Blocks for example? Is code being duplicated because it is on more than one Screen? Are there 10 screens because you are trying to deliver an App that goes beyond the necessary? In all areas of design, from domestic appliances to space craft, KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) is very important - especially so when defining an App GUI.
Does your App use images? Have they been optimised for Android (and therefore App Inventor)? You see, there is a lot that you can do and the more efficient your App is, the better it will run and potentially have less bugs too.
I always use Firefox, just tested with the other Browsers to make sure that it doesnt work with any browser
I am using Bitdefender, will try to build again with BD disabled
It is a company app and some time ago I had only 3-4 screens. But those screens became so many blocks that the screen wasnt loaded (always got a timeout when switchen between the screens in my project).
For that reason I have made other screens to keep the content in each screen workable on PC
Yes, there are images which are optimised
This was my first consideration. As already said, some days ago there was no problem
One other thing of note - precisely which extensions are you using? It’s possible that they are not 100% compatible with the latest version of App Inventor.
Concerning your Blocks, it does sound as though there is an issue in terms of how the code is being defined, thus you have a Project that need not be so large.
You say: Before nb181b I had no problem concerning the number of blocks and screenswhen building the app (it was slow and took some time, but no error), it all happened with the new update.
