Hello, I’ve been working on a game for a few weeks now. So far, everything’s been fine. I’m using the free version. But today, I’m getting errors whenever I try to upload the game for testing on my phone.
Error 1:
Error uploading the game. Check your internet connection or try again later. Socket hang up.
Error 2:
Your game cannot be uploaded to the Build service. Please check your internet connection or try again later.
The game is currently 286 MB. I’ve already saved it as a clean, new file, without any unlinked files.
What’s the problem? Do I need a higher version because of the file size?
uh so I translated this using AI google and I’m not a professional but if you have been working on this game for a long period of time without saving and then you finally save and then try to publish it maybe after saving the game try restarting the page or maybe try logging out then logging back in then try uploading it and if neither of this stuff works then I’m sorry dude or gal idk what to do
oh and maybe the using gdevelop 5 on a phone I’m not saying their is anything wrong with that but maybe you might wanna try uploading it on the computer and if you wanna switch back so you can continue creating the game use your phone
Hi, I was able to solve the problem:
It was simply the large file size. GDevelop only supports one-click export up to 200/250 MB; otherwise, the server blocks it. Uploading to the stores then only works indirectly.
Now I use manual export and create the APK manually in the console. This took me a whole day of programming. But now everything works, and I can create APKs regardless of size. It’s a bit of a shame that GDevelop doesn’t offer any service for larger files.
So the solution was:
- Manual export
- Manual APK creation in console
- A lot of preparation in the console
Now I reduce the file sizes, and everything is fine for testing. Later i make the final App file also manualy in console.

nice it’s great that you were able to fix your problem and also even though I’ve played many games on gd.games that look very great sometimes gdevelop can’t handle the great and cool games we make but anyway at least you didn’t give up 
Hello @data_084
Only since a few weeks and your game has already a size around 290 MB!
It’s very much, don’t you think?
About the server limit of GDevelop to generate 1 apk, maybe it’s due to using the free version of GD.

Hello @slamsnake_official
What do you mean by that?
Some great games have been created with the use of GD.

sometimes for me when I try to make big games when I test them it lags or maybe that’s just me but I guess not all the time only sometimes like gd crashes if you’re working on a big game
I dont think so, maybe its your laptop? There’s many many impressive games on gd.games (made by GDevelop obv)
just go there and have a look!
hmm I see I guess my laptop or can I even call a Chromebook a laptop cuz this thing is boooootyyyy I mean at least I can make games still though
