Who needs to "iterate" so quickly that several minutes added to your build time becomes a huge issue?


Me? I work on embedded android installations that have over a thousand years combined of running with 0 software crashes. Once I get to a certain point in developing an app for our installations I start profiling for the slightest memory leaks by watching changes in memory usage profiles for different user flows.

And I can only do that with release builds if I want useful numbers. I've had us split up apps over build times because of Multidex (for example, most of our AWS centric code lives in a separate app that exposes specific functions via an AIDL interface because the SDK was bringing in too many methods)
