Android SDK v34

[criterionhcm-ionic]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

1 build Flutter application with Android SDK v34

Expected results

Quick build without installing Android Build Tools

Actual results

10 minutes Android application build in reason of installing Android Build Tools v34
I see that Android Build Tools v34 in absent in preinstalled versions in macOS machines according to this documentation https://docs.codemagic.io/specs-macos/xcode-16-4/ What is reason of that?
I use last flutter version and use default parameters in android/app/build.gradle

android {
    compileSdk = flutter.compileSdkVersion
    ndkVersion = flutter.ndkVersion
...

Build id (optional)

Hi @criterionhcm-ionic the build isn’t taking 10+ minutes due to downloading or installing Android Build Tools v34. The main reason for the longer duration is the heavy dependencies in your project.

For comparison, here's a screenshot of one of my builds, it completes in under 3 minutes:

If you're looking to speed up your Android builds, I recommend caching the following paths:

  android-workflow:
        name: Android Workflow
        max_build_duration: 120
        instance_type: mac_mini_m2
        cache:
          cache_paths:
            - $HOME/.gradle/caches
            - $HOME/.pub-cache

Please note caching only takes effect after a successful build, so you’ll need at least one clean build to complete before the next one benefits from the cache.

Hi @dtrdic Thanks for your advice. I will try. I saw my previous android build needs 6 minutes, but last time about 10. I think it is connected to new flutter version and updated packages
