Nativescript-plugin-firebase: Extremely slow build (iOS) after adding Firebase

[vpiskunov]

After adding the plugin, the build becomes painfully slow (between 15 to 25 minutes)

This happens on every tns run ios and it does xcode build during that.

There is a lot of warnings about Protobuf, amongst others.

Before adding this plugin, everything is fine - build happens in 1-2 minutes.

I have experimented with reinstalling the plugin, reinstalling platforms, cleaning platforms, as well as tested this on multiple projects which use NativeScript 5.4, 6.1.0, 6.1.1 etc. - but nothing helps.

Also tried using different versions of Node & npm - same results.

Really struggling to develop with this...

Appreciate any help @EddyVerbruggen!

Just tried installing your app:
EddyVerbruggen/footplr

It took 12 minutes for the first build, and the second one took 2 minutes only! But still my project takes 15 mins for second-build...

Yeah why they don't resolve this major issue!!!! While building my application almost hangs the whole system!!!

[vpiskunov]

@zghotlawala can you please try cloning & installing & running this project https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/footplr

And try running your own project’s build after you do that - let us know if that helps resolve it? It’s a weird but potential workaround that may have an impact.

This seems to relate to:

I'd love to do something about it, but how the _beep_ should I be able to change this behavior?

@EddyVerbruggen Maybe updating the dependencies can solve this issue? https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/2665#issuecomment-537983557

Seems to be coming for these processes created while building the application, I believe they are related to Crashalytics

[alqabali]

[dtomaszewski]
