why running on iOS is crazy time consuming? can I change any settings or do anything about it?

[chrisjenx]

As in slow compile?

[Hamid]

exactly. can I improve it somehow?

[chrisjenx]

Make sure you have incremental caching on, should be a couple of gradle flags, but tbh it's just much slower

[chrisjenx]

you have mutliple build steps

[chrisjenx]

so it will always be slower unforutnatly

[Hamid]

does it make sense to be for ~7 mins on iOS against <1 min on Android?

[chrisjenx]

yeah thats about right. My realease android build takes like 30 seconds, my reason ios build takes like 10 minutes if I'm lucky

[chrisjenx]

Incremental ios builds should be about a minute or so tho, so you might have incremental builds off

[chrisjenx]

lemme find the flags

[chrisjenx]

I think there on by default, but some of the kmp project templtes have them disabled

[chrisjenx]

back in kt 1.9 etc it was prety flakey and would need to bust cache, unless you are changing pod dependences you should be able to leave incremenal on

[chrisjenx]

gradle.properties fyi

I'm using kotlin 2 atm
