Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Add receipt - Impossible to upload a receipt size equal or larger than 15mb

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are setting RECEIPT_MAX_SIZE = 10485760 in CONST.ts equivalent to 10MB file

App/src/CONST.ts

Line 353 in 3cc88f5

RECEIPT_MAX_SIZE: 10485760,

But we are showing message 'Attachment is too large - Attachment size is larger than 24 MB limit'

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepScan/index.tsx

Lines 224 to 227 in 3cc88f5

	if (!Str.isImage(file.name ?? '') && (file?.size ?? 0) > CONST.API_ATTACHMENT_VALIDATIONS.RECEIPT_MAX_SIZE) {
	setUploadReceiptError(true, 'attachmentPicker.attachmentTooLarge', 'attachmentPicker.sizeExceeded');
	return false;
	}

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We can create a new translation for this error like 'Attachment is too large - Attachment size is larger than 10 MB limit'

App/src/languages/en.ts

Line 503 in 3cc88f5

sizeExceeded: 'Attachment size is larger than 24 MB limit',

Or we can make a function with input is the maximum file size

Note: when changing, we also need to change the native file.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Or we can change the RECEIPT_MAX_SIZE to 24MB

I've been sick the last couple days - trying to tackle as many GHs as I can. Likely won't get to this until tomorrow

[OfstadC]

Confirmed - attempted this with 19MB file and it says it's over 24MB 😓
