Hi all.
I was wondering what are your usual build times for KMP projects?
We have around 270 shared modules for SwiftUi app and the release build time currently takes around 2 hours. (debug build is much faster, like 10-20min)
We use cocoapods, the modules vary from little ones (with 2 classes to bigger ones 100+-classes).
The step that takes almost all time is
./gradlew -p shared kmmsharedKmm:syncFramework -Pkotlin.native.cocoapods.platform=iphonesimulator -Pkotlin.native.cocoapods.archs=arm64 -Pkotlin.native.cocoapods.configuration=Release
I wonder if such build times are normal, or if there is something we can do to speed it up.

Have you seen this: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-improving-compilation-time.html?

also in 2.2.20 release we finally will add support for https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle-compilation-and-caches.html#build-reports for Native part. It would be nice if you could shared them to us once you will update you project to this release

Build reports for native part sounds cool. Definitely will look into it once possible. I will look into the page for improving compilation times as well. Do you think this build times are far too high than expected?

Hard to tell without build metrics. This is a release build where much more is optimized. Plus we don't know amount of code you have in the project
