Hey there. For my new app version I integrated all needed images right into the project. I stored the images hereunder:
WEB_RESOURCES/files/views/assets/images/folder
and load them via XML in echo mode. So (correct me if i am wrong) all data is included in my final build, right?
but the output/view takes like 50-60 seconds to load.
Hello Timo,
Yes, all files from this folder are included in the app. What images pathes do you use in echo mode? (local, remote). Could you show us screenshot?
off course, i use these settings:
The total load time at the preview is 1.3 minutes.
maybe there is a tweak or a better option to load the images from the storage? 
Hello Timo,
It's better to store images in a db, if you have large number of them. Also this post may be useful for you:

but is a db then also included in the app itself? I dont want people to require an active internet connection.
Hi Timo -
No, Appery.io Database is not included in the app. If you need database available offline you may consider to use IndexedDB (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d...) or SQlite (http://sqlite.org/) in your app.
Yes, I need to keep all data also available when no Internet connection is given. Although the data ist 120meg sized, it is not a very user friendly option to load it via mobile data.
