React native run android terribly slow #27898

1nfinite · 2020-01-29T19:07:32Z

I have a decent working laptop here. But the build speed seems to be intolerable to me.
It takes me around 3 minutes for a debug mode build in android and 7 minutes for release mode build in android for my application. Was it a matter related to certain release of react-native or nodejs? Or what exactly causes the slow build?

The app does not have hermes/proguard enabled. It's the similar timing despite i build on simulator/real device.

At least it doesn't seem "OK" for me. 3 minutes compilation is already long and 7 minutes compilation is very ridiculous to me.

Note: Mind to share what build time u all use as well?

1) npx react-native run-android (takes 3 minutes)
2) npx react-native run-android --variant=release (takes 7 minutes)

React Native version:
System:
OS: Windows 10 10.0.18363
CPU: (8) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz
Memory: 15.41 GB / 31.88 GB
Binaries:
Node: 12.9.1 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.EXE
Yarn: 1.21.1 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin\yarn.CMD
npm: 6.10.2 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD
IDEs:
Android Studio: Version 3.5.0.0 AI-191.8026.42.35.6010548
npmPackages:
react: 16.9.0 => 16.9.0
react-native: 0.61.5 => 0.61.5

Steps To Reproduce

npx react-native run-android (takes 3 minutes)
npx react-native run-android --variant=release (takes 7 minutes)

Describe what you expected to happen:

Expect to takes around 1-2 minutes at most

On a Mac pro and for our project it takes almost 10 min for a release build on android with react 0.61.4 and on debug it takes only 1min and 30 sec

gromanas · 2020-01-30T13:45:39Z

I have found this issue #27057 saying that if you add in build.gradle hermesFlagsRelease: [], the time will be significantly reduced. I have tried and the time now for a release build is reduced to 2 mins. Also if you flag enableHermes: in build.gradle as false again the time has been reduced to 3 mins. I saw also that the size of the .apk has began about ~10 MB higher if you use one of those two workarounds.

@gromanas What block does this go in inside build.gradle, and I'm guessing you mean android/build.gradle?

steinathan · 2020-06-11T18:57:14Z

am having this issue, npx react-native run-android --verbose --no-jetifier takes a tremendous amount of time to compile and expo start is fucking up with mixed port (can't use it either) :(

You have to do changes in android/app/build.gradle, By default, the configuration is already present in the former file as a comment. You can check the docs here to make changes: https://reactnative.dev/docs/hermes

I think its normal for the first time you build your app that it takes some time. Mine takes 10-20 minutes at the first build.

This link didn't work for me. I am facing this same issue.
In my older system it was working fine and builds took 2-4 mins. After changing my system, the build time for old projects that are imported from gitlab takes more than 2 hours to build

buitunglam · 2021-08-25T01:39:21Z

it's work for me too. using mavenCenter(). reduce time from 1h to 3m

bkvaiude · 2021-11-27T15:12:05Z

In my case, it was an android emulator that was not responding state, killing it and rerunning the command solved the problem.

npx react-native run-android

Note: I had the latest setup and have needful changes suggested by other users!

KarthiArcus · 2022-05-30T05:20:39Z

To solve this problem update your react Native project new and move your sources and files to it.... its working fine for me

faerylay · 2022-12-06T04:10:22Z

with real device make sure wifi should be same

gyan-js · 2023-05-17T12:00:50Z

You guys having 3 mins to 7 mins, in my case it's terrible, it's 13 to 15 mins .

cortinico · 2023-05-17T17:32:27Z

Closing as after 0.71 we moved a lot of our build logic to use prebuilts. We also leverage caching quite aggressively. I'm able to run run-android in ~15 seconds. Release takes a couple of minutes at most.

We can look at other build issues more closely as they arise.

norellanac · 2023-08-23T20:30:02Z

remove /Users/yourusername/.gradle folder
and also remove YourProject/android/.gradle

this works for me
