The apps stops running when I take a picture in the ribbit app

The app shuts off when I take a picture with a lot of stuff in it but when I take a picture and its all black the app sends it just fine. Whats going on with the app? I imported the Ribbit app file from the site.

It's a little difficult to say what the problem is without more information. However, from what you've described you may want to look at the file sizes for the photos you're using. The file upload limit for Parse is 10MB, so there may be some kind of limit there that you're overlooking.

Hi Jake importing is not enough. You will need to make a change to allow your parse API key to be loaded. Please review file RibbitApplication in java folder and replace this section:

Parse.initialize(this, "dbrOyEHgX2GR3EPTIblrNNAd4ITXarc82shcXdlu", "6iyrGf1I8pXKRGlxMuL4NQQ4doZLrR5btJ2ZlvII");

Apps has already check condition to ensure that you will not send more the 10MB picture - you can switch it off of course.

Cheers Hubert

and I suppose if you would like bigger file transfers you would have to pay?

I don't think they let you pay to increase that limit just yet, but try resizing and compressing the image before you upload it to Parse.

Works for me, thank you! I think for me it was an issue with a device with limited memory, after I reduced size of picture to send it works just fine.
