[Bug]/[Feature Request] UWP is limited to 8K characters #30

Closed rjcollingham closed 7 years ago

rjcollingham commented 7 years ago

Feature Request:

Saving a string is limited to 8K in UWP. This is not the case for iOS and Android.

Any way of avoiding this, or changing the implementation to overcome this limitation?

Thanks

It would be a limitation of the platform. Android also has similar limitations.

You should not be saving complex objects into settings, which is usually when this happens. Save a file do disk with PCL Storage or into a database.
