Subsystem
gRPC/Native, project setup
Problem Description
Before this, the gRPC core library was compiled from source when loading the gradle project.
With multiple targets this took at least 10 minutes.
Solution
We are now including gRPC as a pre-built static library, so it is not required to build it from source.
We also tried to use a remote repository for this, but we faced several issues.
