Addressables + Build takes over 2 hours

Unity Engine
1

Hello,

Every time we switch platforms our builds take over 2 hours

I’ve attached the AddressablesBuildTEP.json (I had to rename the extension to .txt and it wouldn’t let me upload it)

We are using Unity 2020.3.5f1

Thanks

Hi there - it can be a bit hard to interpret or diagnose the issue from just the build logging file on its own - below are a few questions I have that can help us get a better idea of what your issue might be:

  • What version of addressables are you using?
  • Do your builds take similarly long on different versions of the editor/different versions of addressables?
  • For larger projects, its possible that a build could take 2 hours perfectly legitimately - have build times always been about this long, or is this a sudden/new behavior?

Based on these questions we should be able to get a better idea of what kind of issue you’re having. Sorry for the delay in replying, and thanks!

Switching platforms can invalidate a lot of cached files in the Library folder, which is then causing the build time to skyrocket.

In the following post/thread I describe the approach that helped me to keep the build times relatively sane:
