gradle-build-performance

To speed up slow Android Gradle builds, analyze your build scans to identify bottlenecks, enable configuration and build caches, migrate to KSP, and apply parallel execution to reduce build times to under 5 minutes.

A Gradle build scan is a diagnostic report that identifies bottlenecks in configuration, execution, and dependency resolution, allowing you to apply targeted optimization techniques for significant speed improvements.

You optimize Gradle configuration and build cache by analyzing build scans to find inefficiencies, then enabling caching mechanisms and adjusting task configurations to accelerate both local development and CI/CD pipelines.

Migrating to KSP improves Android build performance by replacing slower annotation processors with a faster tool, addressing compilation bottlenecks and significantly reducing overall build times.

You can use Gradle optimization techniques to speed up CI/CD pipelines by applying parallel execution, enabling build caches, and resolving dependency bottlenecks identified through build scan analysis.

Limitations of Gradle build performance optimization include the need for accurate build scan data for analysis, and potential configuration bottlenecks that require manual tuning of task configurations and caching mechanisms.
