Hi all, I'm creating a single iOS Framework from an umbrella multiplatform module which contains 4 modules. The operation takes 4 minutes approximately. Is there any optimization I could try to lower the generation time? Could the increase of the number of submodules within the umbrella module affect positively?

are you pulling the klibs from Maven, or are you building them all inline?

Maven

what is it compiling?

what do you mean?

if you're only pulling in klibs, what is there to compile?

ah sorry I misunderstood you, I'm compiling my code locally and generating the framework. With the cocoapods plugin I use it in the iOS solution. All operations are local

well there you go

I was thinking on increasing the number of submodules, in kotlin it reduces the built time, but I do not know if it also affects the framework creation time

This document might help you: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-improving-compilation-time.html

So, in your opinion splitting modules into smaller modules and put them together within the umbrella framework could reduce time?

It might make

task faster (can't give any estimates, though). I suggest to try tips from the document I mentioned before diving into refactoring.
