When I broadcast my app to a device, it takes as long as 1 minute just to send all the media files. Most of the time, I haven't even modified any media!
So before v2, can you please add a 'Compile and Broadcast byc only' option to the compile menu, and the player just uses the old files?

Yeah, this is a good one. Transmitting MP3s every time you compile takes for ever. Combine this with the option to play games stored on the device through the player. Which would be great for showing off the game. But also for more frequent playtesting.

I requested a broadcast only button on the google issues list but as far as I am aware the media is not deleted and only files that have changed are broadcast.

Certainly when I swap between projects it takes much longer to load a large project the first time than it does subsequently...


Yes, he's me

It doesn't take long for me, around 10 seconds for a large game... how long is yours taking?
