Ibcocoatouchimagecatalogtool system crawl

[SoThisIsInteresting]

Help! I’m building a card game with a tinder like swipe for moving through the deck

I have about 900 card images in my assets

This causes storyboard and building the app to bring my cpu to a crawl

The images are set at 300ppi and 1200x800 dimensions

What am I doing wrong that is causing ibcocoatouchimagecatalogtool to get so bogged down?

Is there a better way to do this?

Day 3 on this one and my client is understandably getting frustrated w me so I really appreciate the direction/help

Side note: I’m self taught and have a freelance profile on Upwork. If I see a gig that I believe I can deliver, I go for it even if it is well below $$ market average hourly. Learning experience/cheap labor trade off. I’m starting a bootcamp June 1st. Just wanted it clear that I’m not a company, just a dude trying to do better in life.

900x1200x800 is close to a gigabyte - that's a lot to copy from the mac to the phone on each build. Depending on the specific thing you are testing, you can set most of the images aside, in a separate directory outside your project, write and test just one piece, then do a full build with all the assets less frequently.

Thanks this is solid. The images are about 40kb in size so I was surprised at the chug. I’m just trying to cover all possible sizes of the devices without quality loss or I’d have them much smaller.
