Largest one I have is under 2 mb.

That is really big and could be the problem. Why do you need such a large image?

After installation, open option disabled

[Bert_Holbert_Jr]

That graphic is the main screen background. It’s a signiture graphic for the station. It’s never been an issue before. The APK file size is only 7mb. Installed size is 19mb.

Did you ever change package name of your app?

[Bert_Holbert_Jr]

[Bert_Holbert_Jr]

I did. I changed it today

[Kshitij (Kshitij Vats)]

That is the problem
Export your app aia.

@Bert_Holbert_Jr

Normally when I install the app I get an option for OPEN, but now it’s unavailable

For this just take the backup(export aia to your PC)
Then Re-upload the aia(with a different name if required) and then try compile this project

It’s never been an issue before.

How big is it in pixels? And if it works on your phone won’t mean it works on another. See point 2 in the topic below.

General Tips and Tricks for App Inventor/Kodular

Use different screens wisely Before starting to create another screen, first you should think about is it really necessary? See also Building apps with many screens and SteveJG’s post about advantages/disadvantages, because in only one screen you also can use vertical arrangements to simulate different screens, just set the arrangements to visible = true/false as needed… If you decided to use different screens, then you should switch them correctly, else you will run out of memory after a wh…

I suggest to export 2 aia files 1 for backup.

[Kshitij (Kshitij Vats)]

After this open it through 7-zip and go to folder youngandroidproject in there project properties and enter the latest package name there save everything and import it with some other name in kodular…

[Kshitij (Kshitij Vats)]

You can also use winrar for the same…
Try this it would surely work…

@Kshitij

open it through 7-zip

[Bert_Holbert_Jr]

It works. I exported the project, renamed the project “g1013fm_broken” then imported it back. Made the apk and installed, BING it runs. What made you think of that? I never would have guessed. Thank you all immensely.

[Bert_Holbert_Jr]

I have started to refrain from building many screens on this radio app. I use a lot of bottom sheets and notifications now. G1013FM (4).apk (7.0 MB)

I value & appreciate the info, & assistance you give

[Kshitij (Kshitij Vats)]

I had the same issue earlier.

[Bert_Holbert_Jr]

Thank you very much. If I had to rebuild this app I would very,very unhappy.

Happy to know that these simple steps worked for you and didn’t required to unzip the aia.

And @Kshitij

This is not needed to be done in every case. For example in this case, simply importing the aia back again worked.
Try simple steps first. If that didn’t worked then go for the next steps.

[Kshitij (Kshitij Vats)]

No, actually @Bert_Holbert_Jr was not much clear about his issue it was something similar to my issue and I had the solution to it so I told him what I did.

@Vaibhav

simply importing the aia back again worked.

In my case, it didn’t work…
