Receiving javascript heap out of memory when building Microsoft CodePush

Question

I only receive this error when building a CodePush release.

$appcenter codepush release-react -a APPNAME.com/APPNAME-ios -d Production --mandatory --output-dir ./build -t 1.x.x;

How can I tell AppCenter to use max_old_space_size=8192 ?

Your export command has only one dash as I can see. Maybe try export NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8192 or NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192" and see if it works? — MauriceNino

this illustrates a solution to your issue.

On Android, add the following to the project's build.gradle file:
project.ext.react = [
nodeExecutableAndArgs: ["node", "--max_old_space_size=8192"]
]
On iOS, in Xcode, select your target and go to the Build Phases tab, in the section Bundle React Native code and images, add the flag to the shell script:
export NODE_BINARY="'node --max_old_space_size=8192'
../node_modules/react-native/packager/react-native-xcode.sh"

Hope this Helps!

That's only for xcode. When I run appcenter CLI, I can't set the node memory there.

Can you please try running export NODE_MEMORY=8192 before running your code-push release-react command.

Add these to your scripts and then run them in order.

"setup-fix-memory-limit": "npm install -g increase-memory-limit",
"fix-memory-limit": "cross-env LIMIT=4096 increase-memory-limit",

Change the number in the second script to what ever you want.

npm run setup-fix-memory-limit
npm run fix-memory-limit

Also make sure to look at if it can be solved in another way, perhaps some incorrect imports are dramatically increasing the size of your bundle, use a bundle analyzer to see if what's in the build should be their, or if anything can be trimmed.

A similar issue is discussed here. You could try to run this react-native bundle command :

node --expose-gc --max_old_space_size=8192 ./node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js bundle --entry-file='index.js' --bundle-output='./ios/main.jsbundle' --dev=false --platform='ios' --assets-dest='./ios'

I got the same problem when running codepush on Bitrise. Solved by exporting it on CODE_PUSH_NODE_ARGS environment variable.

export CODE_PUSH_NODE_ARGS='--max_old_space_size=8192'

appcenter codepush release-react ...
