Cache Me If You Can

" summary

Explains concrete steps to cut Android build time: how Gradle’s initialization/configuration/execution phases map to AGP’s lifecycle, why use Android Components API (AGP7/8.2) to set variant-scoped inputs, and why old variant APIs deprecate (AGP9 → removed in AGP10). Recommends enabling parallel build, local/remote Build Cache, and Configuration Cache recommended in Gradle 9, avoid afterEvaluate and project access in task actions, mark tasks @Cacheable, use Provider APIs, avoid timestamps/doFirst, split interface/impl modules to limit recompiles, and add Build Scan / DevVelocity plugin for profiling.
