Describe the bug
Frosty uses 2GB of storage. I assume this is just emote caching. Clearing the cache does nothing

To Reproduce

  • Check device storage in the Settings app. Notice 2gb of storage being used by Frosty
  • return to Frosty, click ‘clear image cache
  • wait a minute or so
  • return to Settings app, see storage usage unchanged, not even reduced slightly.

Expected behavior

  • return to Settings app, see storage usage be reduced to mere megabytes.

Screenshots

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: iPad 10th Gen 64GB
  • OS: iPadOS 18.3.1
  • App Version: 4.9.0

Additional context
I use Frosty in chat only mode, in iPad Split View side by side with the Twitch App taking up the most of the screen. Things aren’t exactly stable, so there might be a mess of crash logs in the app that aren’t being cleared up, just guessing.

I’m willing to help the developer with my time to help them access crash logs or test betas or anything to help :)

This has gotten out of hand now - this app is now taking up 5.2GB.

Because I got no response from the dev, I have now removed the app from my iPad, and reinstalled it. I will report back soon with how much space it takes after some usage.

2 days later of watching using the app in chat only mode.

Glad to see this fixed!

Something that should be double checked and made into an issue if it isn’t already:

Are you saving the cached images to a part of the app’s sandbox that is considered cache by the OS? I know iOS has a mechanism for flushing these out for the user when the OS needs space.

Maybe it’s better to use getApplicationCacheDirectory rather than getTemporaryDirectory?https://pub.dev/documentation/path_provider/latest/path_provider/getApplicationCacheDirectory.html
