    A small project with 2 scenes get to the "building gradle project" in about 1 minute, then the gradle project build part takes upwards of 10 minutes on 2019.1.12. Is this normal?

    Most likely not, try exporting a project instead of building it from Unity, then import it in Android Studio, and build from there. See if you have the same issue there.

    For me when I did it, I have a small vr game that regularly takes up to 3 - 4 minutes to build, last night, it took 5 hours and didn’t even finish. I had to force quit

    Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I've also started having similar issues. I'm working on an application that is being built for both iOS and Android.

    It's been running on an Intel Macbook Pro, 2021.3.11f1 for a while now and even though that's fine for the most part, it sometimes ends up in an infinite load in the editor, forcing me to close and reopen it completely.

    However, when I tried to update to 2021.3.20f1 or 2021.3.23f1, even though iOS builds continued to work fine, Android builds suddenly started getting lots of issues.

    The first is that it's suddenly incapable of replacing assetbundles (.aab).

    Moving final Android package(s) failed
    Can't remove non-empty directory '/Path/aabBuild.aab'.

    However, if I manually delete the old build, it either takes much longer than usual to create a build for the first time, or gets stuck in the post process gradle part.

    After a few restarts it starts to perform considerably faster and better, being able to finish builds in 30-60 seconds, but having to manually delete the aab file manually seems to persist.
