DexArchiveBuilderTask causing high build times in debug builds

Hello,

i'm looking for a way to reduce or even stop AppDynamics from building the DexArchiveBuilderTask/ DexBuilderDebug task during debug builds which is causing a bottle neck in every single Gradle build. 

I've added the flag false but AppDynamic seems to still trigger the dex builder. 

adeum {
..
enabledForDebugBuilds = false
..
}

problem:  Dex builder runs every time during debug build



// ./gradlew build

:app:myexample:dexBuilderDebug
Duration: 102s / 30%
Type: com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.DexArchiveBuilderTask
Task Execution Categories: Uncategorized

Warnings
no warnings found

Reason task ran
Input property 'mixedScopeClasses` file /Users/****/build/intermediates/transform/AppDynamics/debug/349.jar has changed
Input property 'mixedScopeClasses` file /Users/****/build/intermediates/transform/AppDynamics/debug/501/com/appdynamics/...BuildInfo.class has changed

I'd appreciate any suggestion on how to achieve this as it's causing a large amount of build times during debug builds. 

regards,

Red

Hi @Red.Bean,

I asked around and found some info for you. 

1. Check out the release notes for the Android agent here: https://docs.appdynamics.com/appd/23.x/23.4/en/product-and-release-announcements/release-notes#id-.R...

 A new way to disable the instrumentation that is going to speed up the build. “DisabledForBuildTypes” is the name of the property and the speed improvement will come only with AGP >= 7.4. 

23.6 should be coming out soon to address issues with 23.4.1
Keep an eye on the release notes page for new releases

Hi, @Red.Bean 

In conversation here, the advice I'm getting is for you to open a Support ticket. The team would need to do more debuggging to get to the bottom of things.
