There are some recommendations for Xcode build settings that could help speeding up build time.
Raw
gistfile1.txt
# 1. Build Active Architectures only
Set **Yes** for *Debug* builds and **No** for *Release*
![[Pasted image 20250720111729.png]]
# 2. Debug information format
Set **DWARF** for *Debug* (should be that by default) - this disables adding dsyms (debug symbols)
![[Pasted image 20250720114714.png]]
# 3. Enable bitcode
Should be enabled for *Release* builds - if all linked frameworks support it - but it slows down build. Disable for debug
# 4. Enable testability
When enabled - the product will be built w options appropriate for running automated tests, such as making private interfaces accessible to the tests. This may result in slower builds, and slower running tests. You should test your entities through public interfaces/API so that you don't couple the tests with the implementation details. If that is tru you can set this setting to **No** even for *Debug* builds.
# 5. Optimization level
Leave None/No Optimization for *Debug*
# 6. Compilation mode (swfit compiler)
Keep *Debug* with **incremental** value and *Release* with **whole module**
# 7. Dependency build Order (available through the Edit **Scheme** menu)
Set To Dependecy order to have faster build time
