Practical tips for succeeding with CI/CD for Android
summary
Practical, actionable checklist for Android CI/CD: use enough CPU/RAM so Gradle builds match local speed, raise resource class on CircleCI, and cache dependencies (eg node_modules/Gradle caches) and build artifacts to avoid rebuilding. Split long suites (300 functional tests → 10 parallel jobs cuts wall time ~10×). Inject secrets via contexts, run automated security scans (Snyk), and SSH into build containers to debug failing jobs. Favor small commits so reverts are simple: revert commit and rerun pipeline.
