Hey Friends. I am just stuck with a problem. Looking for your help. Basically whenever I try to Publish app or working on the app I suddenly start getting this error “ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit allocation failed - javascript heap out of memory react native”.

I am on Windows 7 with 12GB RAM. Not sure how to increase Heap Memory? I tried this in my package.json but still same problem. Looking for your help. Thank you

Hey @shubham_agarwal,

This may be the result of one of your third-party dependencies having a very large .js file. Do any of these libraries jump out to you that could be the culprit?

Cheers,

Hi Adam,

Thanks for taking time to respond on my query.

I just checked but there is not any large library. In fact the overall size of my project is less than 200MB. Do you think that I have correctly increased the Node memory from my package json file? Is there something else I could do?

I have seen multiple articles talking about using Node Options “node --max_old_space_size=8192” but I am just confused how to use it in my project and effectively increase Node memory.

Hey @shubham_agarwal,

It looks like you’re using the flag correctly here. A quick google search shows that this library may be another thing to try.

Cheers,
Adam

Hello @adamjnav ,
I am facing the same problem & project crashes almost every 5 minutes. I have tried all the solutions mentioned in this thread, but nothing seems to work.

Hey @garimap,

Can you share your environment via expo diagnostics and your package.json contents?

Thanks,
Adam
