Multiple sound Files. Request failed with status code 413

I am running expo build:ios / android I have 423mb of data split across about 80 sound files. The biggest file is 30mb. When uploading the files i get an error message.

Error: Request failed with status code 413

Is this expected behavior?

Hi! That return code means the payload is too large, and you’re bundling a lot of data, so that would explain why it’s complaining.

Hi :). What is the limit of the payload? is there any work around for this or do I need to expo eject?

Hi

Ejecting won’t help you because problem here is size limit on s3 bucket and when publishing ejected app you still uploading it to the same place.

You can run expo export and host generated dist directory yourself. When building you will run expo build:android --public-url https://my.server.com/dist/android-index.json. This will work, but I think the major problem here is the architecture of your app, all those files shouldn’t be bundled into the app, but fetched when needed and logic responsible for that should be in your code.

Thank you for the ideas. I greatly appreciate your help. :slight_smile:
