Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Android SDK upload and file-selection code, then trace the 100MB limit and the reported OutOfMemory path. Done means larger video files can be selected and uploaded without the current size restriction or memory failure.

Description

core feature request

Describe the feature you'd like to see in the SDK

Why do we limit the file size to 100MB to upload ? Now a days even a minutes of video is larger then 100MB and also get the OutOfMemory while selecting a larger file.
