gradle-build-performance

To speed up Android Gradle builds, capture baseline timings, generate a Gradle Build Scan to pinpoint bottlenecks, and enable configuration cache, build cache, and parallel execution to significantly cut down development and CI time.

A Gradle Build Scan helps diagnose build performance by profiling your build to identify whether configuration or execution phases are causing bottlenecks, allowing you to target optimizations like caching or parallel execution effectively.

The best way to enable Gradle configuration cache is to verify your project satisfies compatibility requirements, apply the setting, and run a baseline build to confirm that cache hits are improving build performance without configuration errors.

Yes, you can migrate from kapt to KSP to improve Kotlin build performance. Profiling annotation processing bottlenecks helps determine when this migration is applicable to reduce incremental build and execution times.

Yes, enabling parallel execution works with Gradle configuration cache. Applying both features alongside build cache reduces rework and improves cache hits, optimizing both local development and CI/CD workflows.

If your Gradle incremental build is slow, generate a build scan to identify remaining configuration or execution bottlenecks. You may need to verify cache hits or migrate annotation processors from kapt to KSP.
