Description

💬 Questions and Help

I'm trying to download 20 images from the server, which is just 17 MB in total. However, the RAM uses up to about 200 MB in iOS, whereas on an Android device, it only uses 100 MB. I'm downloading each image using the download method.

final futures = collections.map(
      (e) => DefaultCacheManager.downloadFile(
       e.url,
        key: e.id,
      ),
    );
 await Future.wait(futures);
