Remove ParseFile 10Mb limitation

[kleydints]

Hey guys, we migrated to Parse Server and on iOS we can now use files larger than 10Mb. On Android however, we can't even create a file larger than 10Mb. We get this error when we run

ParseFile video1 = new ParseFile("answer_1.mp4", video1ByteArray);

FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.terre.android.terremoto, PID: 7919
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ParseFile must be less than 10485760 bytes

Our Parse Server supports files larger than 10Mb and on iOS everything works fine.

Is there anything we can do?

Can you post the full stack trace?

Can you post a readable stack trace?

this is a stack trace that i receive in the Android Studio when i try to create a ParseFile. When the byteArray that i pass as an argument is larger than 10485760 bytes i get this error. Otherwise with smaller byteArray it works fine. Do you have any suggestions how to resolve this issue ? The parse SDK is up to date and the parse initialization is done in the new server.

Looks like the Android SDK's file limit needs to be updated to be in sync with the other SDKs: https://github.com/ParsePlatform/Parse-SDK-Android/blob/master/Parse/src/main/java/com/parse/ParseFile.java#L167

@nlutsenko do you know if there's a limit in the iOS SDK at all and if so, where it's defined?

[nlutsenko]

@grantland this was completely removed on the client in the latest release of iOS SDK (1.13.0), so I feel like we can also remove it here completely.

@nlutsenko sounds good

with this in mind, we will gladly accept a PR that updates this!

[kleydints]

What would be the approximate timeframe for solving this issue?

[kristoprifti]

@grantland @nlutsenko Can you give us an approximate date when the Parse SDK will be updated for Android and this problem will disappear ?

[grantland]

After someone graciously submits a PR 😄

[kristoprifti]

@grantland how can someone submit a PR ? does it have to be one of the employees in Parse or I can also do it ?
