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?

[sendoav]

Maven

[sendoav]

que most time consuming tasks are compileIos and linkFrameworkIos

[Kris Wong]

what is it compiling?

[sendoav]

what do you mean?

[Kris Wong]

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

[sendoav]

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

[Kris Wong]

well there you go

[Kris Wong]

you're compiling everything every time. if you used Maven that wouldn't be the case, but you'd have development overheard in other ways.

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?

[sergey.bogolepov]

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