Discussion How can i reduce lag on iOS/Android?

[Spiker]

I have an app that's around 90MB

When I test it on my small phone is runs smoothly but when I test it on iPhones or Android devices with higher resolution it lags noticeably.
How can I reduce the lag?

Disable the application surface if you haven't done that.

application_surface_enable(false);

I am using surfaces to scale my game though

Ah that's a rough one. Are you scaling down the application surface then?
Have you tried the debugger? May be a drawing problem inside an object.

First of all, simulate this scenario and look with profiler, what exactly makes game lag.
~ And also, if you're trying to run 60fps at mobile, you're pretty much rekt.
