kotlin-tooling-native-build-performance

separate

Diagnoses and fixes slow Kotlin/Native compilation and linking in Kotlin Multiplatform projects that target iOS. Use when the user reports slow iOS or shared-framework builds, long linkDebug*/linkRelease* or XCFramework tasks, cold CI builds that re-download the Kotlin/Native toolchain, KSP or other generated code on the native path, transitiveExport usage, or asks for a local-development versus CI build performance plan.

When to use

• slow iOS or shared-framework builds
• long linkDebug*/linkRelease* or XCFramework tasks
• cold CI builds re-downloading Kotlin/Native toolchain
• KSP or generated code on the native path
• transitiveExport usage
• local-development versus CI build performance plan
• configuration phase delays
• parallel native linking overhead

When not to use

• changing required release behavior
• unmeasured fixes without before/after comparison
