I had a terrible experience building web-mobile (haven’t tested with other platforms) with the newest CC. I’m using MacOS on 16" MBP. Here’s the flow:
Created a new Hello World project from Dashboard’s template.
Build for Web Mobile
Build Again (to make sure we are waiting for engine building etc.)
CC 3.8.1 took 165,135 ms
CC 3.7.4 took 32,273 ms
PS: I also had to wait like 10s to start building after clicking on the build button. This is a terrible experience considering that the most critical feature is not thoroughly tested.
Also raising this topic up, I think many of us will benefit if the build times will be optimized.
But I dont thing that the build time is the most critical optimization that has to be made, because you do it once in a while when you have a new version.
The important things to be fast and to be optimized are the local “run”, opening of the projects, entering animation mode, application of code changes and etc. Like the tasks you do 100 times a day
p.s. Tip - If you are having a concern about the Build time because you have to make actual build every time you want to test something - then probably you need to reconsider your workflow.
However, something that was working fine and now it isn’t (30s vs 3 mins for a simple hello world, for large projects; ~1min vs almost 10 mins. That’s frustrating. Definitely, something is not right here). Therefore, what broken must be fixed.
