Question Gradle error when compiling with big files

Hello!

We are having a problem to compile a project in android using Unity 2022.3.3f1. We believe that the problem is due to the fact that the project must have 5 fairly large videos (all close to 1Gb). When trying to compile we get the following error:

"A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CompressAssetsWorkAction See the Console for details."

In the Console:

Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':launcher:compressReleaseAssets'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CompressAssetsWorkAction
> Required array size too large


CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed.
C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2022.3.3f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\OpenJDK\bin\java.exe -classpath "C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2022.3.3f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Tools\gradle\lib\gradle-launcher-7.2.jar" org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain "-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096m" "assembleRelease"

Do you know any way to solve this problem?

 

Getting almost the same thing.

Hi, me too guys.
Did you find out how to fix it?

 

Hi all,

I'm experiencing the same issue.
On local builds and also on Unity Cloud build.

It seems that gradle does not have enough memory to execute compression.
I tried to extend the memory available to gradle but with no success, it seems the unityeditor starts the gradle without taking into account gradle.propoertries.

Has anyone found a workaround?

 

Thanks Aurimas-Cernius, but I do not think the final size of Android package is issue here.
Previous builds have worked fine and produced android packages of ~2,5GB.
The problem only started manifesting after upgrading Unity 2021.3 to Unity 2022.3.
No project files have been changed, only version of Unity editor changed.

 

I am having this problem as well when I tried to add scenes I had been testing individually into a complete package. So is this the answer? Just that no Meta Quest 2 game/apk is bigger than 4gb? Are there no workarounds that would enable building things separately and combining after - or running the compression task separately before building the APK?
