Unable to upload screenshots to G Suite Marketplace - google-apps-marketplace

I tried to upload a screenshot to publish a private Spreadsheet add-on.
However, it did not complete with a "Not saved" message.
"Not saved" message image
The screenshot field is a required and I cannot publish the add-on.
Steps to reproduce:
Click "Add screenshot"
Upload an image
Click “Done"

The requirements for a screenshot are:
Screenshots of your application. At least one is required, but you can
optionally provide up to five screenshots. These should be 1280 x 800
pixels in size. If necessary, screenshots 640 x 400 pixels or 2560 x
1600 pixels in size can be used. Your screenshots should have square
corners and no padding (full bleed).
After uploading a screenshot that fulfills the requirements you need to make sure that all other required fields (e.g. Developer website
) are filled out
Once all required fields are filled out correctly, the Update button becomes enabled
After clicking on the Update button your screenshot and other changes will become saved

Open Graph Stories with Big Images

Our app shares a custom open graph story that included a 1200x630px preview image. The preview image however always displays as a small square when posted to the Facebook timeline.
As mentioned here, the header of the website I'm linking to already contains og:image and og:image:width and og:image:height. Still the image is cropped and only a square on the left is visible.
Is there any trick to make the image use the full width? User generated images are not the solution to go for because it removes the link from the open graph object and also stores the image in the user's photo albums.
I know that this has to be possible somehow because it works for apps such as Runtastic Results.

Instant Image Uploading and Scaling

Im trying to achieve something like this. These were recorded from some sites I came across. Im talking about how it uploads images almost instant, not about template.
I used a 3.5 mb image.

So far I've managed to achieve this by copy/pasting codes:
http://adspottest.cf/simple-thumbnails.html
I don't have lot of knowledge in these things. I managed to do this with the knowledge I picked up here and there.
My questions are:
When scaling is on, if I upload several big images at once (like 2mb, 3mb), some images don't generate the preview correctly.
When scaling is off, above error doesn't occur. But it doesn't upload image almost instantly. Is it possible to turn scaling off AND upload the images instantly?
Im trying to get this work for a classified site. In this site the placeholder for image is a fixed one (640 x 480).
As you can see I have set scaling.sizes: maxSize option to 640
If I upload a 5500 x 3010 image; it will be scaled to 640 x 350. This is OK as it doesn't go over the website placeholder max width.
But if I upload a 3010 x 5500 image; it will be scaled to 350 x 640. That means it goes over the placeholder max height. I need it to be scaled to 263 x 480.
So is it possible to set max width AND height?
Thanks
Not sure I understand what you mean by "upload images instantly". Files are always uploaded as quickly as your network connection allows. Also, there are no known issues with the latest version of Fine Uploader regarding image preview generation. This is a stable feature that hasn't changed much in some time. If you are able to reproduce what you believe to be a bug, submit a bug report with all of your code and detailed reproduction steps in the project's issue tracker at https://github.com/FineUploader/fine-uploader/issues/new.
Regarding your final question, all images will be scaled proportionately, taking aspect ratio into account. As a result, you are asked to provide the largest length or width. Which you provide is not significant - you should simply provide the largest size of any side and Finr Uploader will scale it appropriately. There is no feature that allows you to specify both a max width and height. Please file a feature request if you'd like to see this in a future version.

How to set up App Icons for tvOS Apps in Xcode

Just got the new Apple TV and I am trying to setup App Icons for a new app. It is asking for Front, Middle and Back images for both "App Icon - Large" and for "App Icon Small". I have tried putting a 512x512 image in for Middle and get the following error:
The last image stack layer with content, "Middle", must exactly fill the image stack. Its current frame is {{384, 128}, {512, 512}} while the image stack's size is {1280, 768}.
Does a 1280x768 image need to be used? More importantly, what exactly is needed in terms of image assets for tvOS Apps?
You need at least 2 images for both the App Icon - Large & App Icon - Small
(So total of 4 images - I used at first just the front & back, then I used all three layers for a total of 6 images)
The large icon is 1280x768, and the small one is 400 x 240
Apple's document:
https://developer.apple.com/tvos/human-interface-guidelines/icons-and-images/
Doesn't seems to specify that you only need one image for the 1280x768. But
I wasn't able to submit my App with just one image. I rendered my icons in the
full 1280x768 size and then scaled to 400 x 240.
In addition, you need to add the Top Shelf image which is 1920 x 720.
(Top Shelf Wide seems to be 2320 x 720.)

Yes, you have add mismatched icons, that's why getting the error
Once you check all the sizes is correct

Outlook 2010 - assign fullsized pictures on a contact card - HOW?

I've faced with the next problem: I do not understand why but then I am assigning the proper picture in a high resolution (300x300dpi, file size ~1.5MB, photo's dimensions 700x500px) to my favorite contact at Outlook 2010 - this f... Outlook is stretching down my picture.
As a result I have picture with next output data: unknown dpi, file size ~15KB, photo's dimensions 300x200. Tested by two different operations available inside the contact's card dialog window:
calling the context menu on a thumbnail of my picture - and choosing menu item "COPY".
And exporting of the contact into the vCard file. After that - decoding saved picture from base64 format into a real binary JPEG format.
Questions: WHY outlook is changing the original quality and output data of my picture?
And which final dimensions the Outlook can accept as nonchangable? Only photo 200x300?
HOW to overcome this problem and forcibly to assign to contact's card exactly that picture which I wanted?
The picture will be resized if its dimensions are greater than 314x314 pixels and/or the size is greater than 50,000 bytes.
You can assign a picture with different attributes, but you will need to add it as a regular attachment (Attachments.Add), then add all the picture related properties using Attachment.PropertyAccesor.SetProperty - look at a contact with an existing picture with OutlookSpy (I am its author): select the contact, click IMessage, go to the GetAttachmentTable tab, double click to open the attachment. In particlar, you will need to add PR_ATTACHMENT_CONTACTPHOTO, PR_ATTACHMENT_FLAGS, PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN, PR_ATTACHMENT_LINKID, PR_ATTACH_FLAGS properties.
Keep in mind that if the picture is too big, Outlook will not show it in the Card view in the folder.

Image not showing up in Facebook shares

We are having problems with Facebook not showing images, which we noticed from 17 May.
We have images tagged in og:image, and this is showing up as a blank white space in the object debugger. Clicking on this blank white image/space shows the actual image expected in a new browser window, there are no issues with viewing the image within or outside the network (we tested using different devices and proxies to simulate access from outside Singapore, which is our main audience). The image is 300x225, but the debugger also show the "image not big enough" warning.
Sample scenario (HTTP removed from some links):
URL in question: www.hungrygowhere.com/dining-guide/what-to-eat/5-family-friendly-restaurants-to-book-online-*aid-53763f00/
og:image meta on the page: <meta property="og:image" content="http://staticc04.insing.com/images/f3/e0/10/00/pc_300x225.jpg" />
Warning on the debugger page: "Provided og:image is not big enough. Please use an image that's at least 200x200 px. Image 'staticc04.insing.com/images/f3/e0/10/00/pc_300x225.jpg' will be used instead."
Noticeably the src attribute on the debugger is similar to this: fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQAfsdJpTPWk1IqW&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstaticc05.insing.com%2Fimages%2Fe2%2Fdb%2F10%2F00%2Fpc_300x225.jpg and going directly to this image via the browser shows a blank 1x1 gif. We tested using a 600x600 image (after seeing a post about maintaining aspect ratio) but it's the same: external.ak.fbcdn.net/safe_image.php?d=AQDZBb-0AZjyOp_B&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstaticc03.insing.com%2Fimages%2F57%2Fde%2F10%2F00%2Fstb_600x600.jpg
Our hypothesis is that safe_image.php is not accepting the image it retrieves, but we have no idea what or why this is happening.
We have a ticket open on the Facebook bugs support forum for this (developers.facebook.com/bugs/647132798635052) but no response after the initial round of clarifications, but we are hard pressed to find a solution.
There were no changes to our image storage solution over this timeframe. No rewrites or redirects, the image URLs are files by their own right.
Edited to add:
It is strictly safe_image.php that is choking on our image. See a screenshot from the object debugger: http://i.imgur.com/kl336l9.png
The image on the right is the same og:image, but since it's accessed directly by FB (not going through safe_image.php), it shows up.
We have been checking logs and we are returning HTTP status 206 to Facebook (we have been doing this for a while now) but this was changed to return 200 at all times. No change, we are still not getting any images.
