Analyze your build scan to identify configuration or execution bottlenecks causing slow Android Gradle build times, then apply performance tuning like parallel execution and caching.

Analyzing a Gradle build scan helps you distinguish between configuration and execution phase bottlenecks, pinpointing exactly which tasks are causing slow compilation times.

The best way to speed up Android CI/CD pipelines is applying Gradle performance tuning such as enabling the configuration cache, build cache, and parallel execution.

Migrating from kapt to KSP improves Android build performance by replacing slow annotation processing with a faster approach that generates stubs more efficiently.

You should enable the Gradle configuration cache when your build scan reveals a slow configuration phase, allowing Gradle to reuse the configuration graph across subsequent builds.
