Speed hacks for iOS builds

Introduction

There are many frustrations iOS developers face every day: merge conflicts in project files, code signing headaches, and a build system that grows increasingly complex with each new project.

Slow iOS builds add to this pain.  They don’t just waste valuable development time, they break your flow and stall momentum. And in the worst cases they can completely derail your day or even week.

To improve your build speed, you need tactics that allow you to accelerate without adding extra resources or sacrificing quality. 

Here, you’ll learn exactly what those tactics are, including practical tips to improve iOS build performance, how to optimize compilation, speed up tests, and fine-tune caching for all your Xcode projects.
