gradle-build-performance

To speed up slow Gradle builds for large Android projects, enable configuration cache, build cache, parallel execution, and incremental annotation processing. This reduces configuration phases and improves task execution efficiency.

Gradle build scan analysis identifies CI/CD build bottlenecks by profiling baseline clean and incremental builds to pinpoint time sinks in configuration or execution, helping engineers apply targeted optimizations based on performance trends.

The best way to measure Android build performance is to establish a baseline by running a clean build and an incremental build, then generate a build scan to observe performance trends and pinpoint bottlenecks in parallelization and caching.

Your Gradle configuration phase takes long due to unnecessary configuration-time I/O and dynamic dependencies. You can optimize it by enabling configuration cache and avoiding these inefficient dependencies.

Yes, this build optimization approach is specifically applicable for large Android projects or monorepos with heavy CI/CD usage, helping reduce build times to accelerate development and release cycles.
