- Thread-topic: (iOS AUv3) memory limit for AU Extensions
For me it's mostly a matter of taking precautions. Right now I can open 35
instances of my most demanding plugin before they all go *poof*
But I don't like having a product with such a gaping boobytrap in it.
Having said that, there are currently other plugins out there which are more
sample-heavy or graphics/GUI-heavy which crap out after half a dozen instances.
And it's reflecting badly on the entire platform (with vocal users concluding
the system isn't ready for prime-time yet).

I guess my question would be: what are you using so much RAM for in the first
place? Just my $.02.
Also: please define 'crash'. Thanks.

Currently, iOS imposes a memory limit for AUv3 extensions. All combined
instances of an AU extension should remain below a cap of 360Mb memory usage
(on 64 bit devices).
In all hosts I've tested with, crossing this limit will crash all instances of
the extension without warning, often leading to problems like corrupted
projects etc.
- Are there any known plans to remove this 360Mb cap? Available memory has
doubled/quadrupled since the standard was introduced, so it seems less
necessary now.
- Is there a way for either hosts or extensions to catch/prevent the crash from
happening in the first place? Something a little more elegant than going down
in flames 😉
Thanks for any insights!
