Hi, having upgraded to 1.4  i get an `OutOfMemoryException` during `compileKotlinJs` . Any idea how to tackle that?

I get that a lot on my Android app builds. The only thing that I’ve really been able to do to fix it is to increase the Gradle memory limits <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:configuring_jvm_memory>

unfortunately i get "w: Flag is not supported by this version of the compiler: -Xmx128m" when i try to give the JS(!) compiler more heap space :confused:
(im passing it to the `freeCompilerArgs`)

You should pass it to Gradle, not to compiler

Just follow the doc which Casey shared above

yeah that's what i tried first - didn't worked out. sorry, should have mentioned that.
But will try again today, maybe it was too late yesterday

yep it was clearly too late. i only saw the default of 64mb for the client jvm - now it's a really bad idea to "raise" the heap size of the compilation vm to 256mb when its actual default is 512mb :man-facepalming:
using 1g now does the trick. thank you!
