Nativescript: tns build android takes 15-20 mins on every small change .

[ishandutta2007]

tns build android
is very slow It takes 15-20 mins every time I run it , it basically get stuck at generateF0F1F2DebugAssets and packageF0F1F2Debug for ever.
What are workarounds to speed it up.
This make it unusable to deploy and test while building the app.
On top of that when I am not skipping prepare it takes additional 4-5 mins for that as well.

Hi @ishandutta2007,
First of all, thank you for your interest in NativeScript.
Indeed the first build will take a little more time, however, 15- 20 mins are too long. While testing I found that the build should take not more than a minute.
Regarding that, it would help if you could provide some more info about your machine, which you are using and your environment( CLI, node, tns-core-modules version).

[2017-07-18 17:41:38] Project successfully built.

like in this run validateSigningF0F1F2F3F4F5F6Debug is usually the most time consuming step. I have seen it occationally stuck at validateSigningF0F1F2F3F4F5F6Debug for ever.

To benchmark better run this

tns create test-app --ng
cd test-app
tns run android

It's still taking about 10 mins

[HannesT117]

Is there any solution to this? I've the same problem (doesn't matter whether iOS or Android though), also running on Mac OS (High Sierra). Makes working with NativeScript more or less impossible.
nativescript-angular 4.2.0
nativescript 3.3.0
tns-core-modules 3.3.0
node v8.5.0

[abdullahd]

Is this an open issue still?

[elgibor-solution]

How to resolve this? I also have this issue

[thanhdevapp]

I also have this issue. I need > 20 minutes
Node 8.4
npm 6.0.1
tns 4.0.1
Windows 10
CPU i5 4x
SSD

[jibugeorge]

Team, any update on this issue? I am also experiencing the same problem. Builds are really slow, it takes almost 10 mins to build the project. We are thinking of switching to a different platform coz of this slowness

[NickIliev]

@jibugeorge @thanhdevapp the initial build might be slow on some PCs (still 20 minutes are unusually slow) but then you can proceed with the development process without rebuilding (using live sync). We have recently updated the Gradle wrapper and plugin for Andriod so you could test your build timings against the next tns-android

tns platform add android@next

[kalexmills]

3-5 min builds on my machine for an extremely tiny Android app (only 2-3 screens). Running it on an emulator (maybe using emulator makes a difference for some folks?)

@NickIliev At times relying on the performance of livesync is just not enough. For example, when evaluating 3rd-party dependencies/plugins I have found that I occasionally have to restart the build from scratch to restore a sane state. At these times multiple fresh builds may be required, and they eat up quite a bit of development time.

[NickIliev]

The build experience is now considerably improved especially when building with Webpack

tns build ios --bundle

Still, the initial build will be slower as it needs to build the native project, install the npm dependencies, etc. The following builds are much faster.
