Right now I have a custom buildType for a manual testing purposes where:
Copy code
isDebuggable=true
isMinifyEnabled=trued

isDebuggabled

10/24/2023, 8:12 PMEven if you have minification enabled, debuggable builds still include a lot of — wait for it — debug code, which skews your performance metrics.
It will never match release performance, which is usually minified AND non-debuggable.
