    Hi,

    It takes like 30+ minutes to build the Xcode project with Unity using my Laptop and it takes even more time like around 45 minutes to build the Xcode project into my Iphone 7.

    That's like 1h15 minutes to build on my iPhone at least... That's kinda crazy to do that every time I want to test one simple change...

    What am I doing wrong? Is it normal? Is there a faster way to do this? Is it suppose to be faster and my MacBook pro has an issue or something?

    Really looking for ways to speed up the process to something more manageable...

    Thanks!

    Looks like it's much faster when on release mode and not debug mode! It takes only 20 minutes total in Release mode!

    Anybody else noticed the same thing??

    That does sound crazy! Even 20 minute release build sounds like too much.
    What kind of hardware do you have? Could you check how long it would take to build a new empty unity project in xcode?

    Hi @Petras-Unity !

    This is the Mac I have (should be fine normally, it's not that old):

    I'll test with an empty project when I get the time
