Hi,
Appium is getting crashed for the following reason:
-> The app which i’m testing has PDF,IMAGE,DOC,EXCEL and any other valid files.
-> If the app has more documents like 500+ on the login then its getting crashed.
-> If i move to different tabs in the same APP, then it works fine.
-> Issue only when i navigate to the tab which has 500+ files.
Deleted all the 500+ files and tested with minimal number of files then it wont crash on that particular tab.
I believe the reason for the crash is FILE SIZE. Files could be up of size to 65MB.

Tried with all the versions but still the same issue.
