Initial builds with Xcode 16 are significantly (many minutes) slower than with Xcode 15. This happens for a new clone and any time an existing clone is reset using Product->Clean Build folder.
Trio does not use all 6 of the submodules modified to solve the slow build issue for Loop.
However, of the 4 affected modules that are used by Trio, the identical modification can be used.
These modules are:
LibreTransmitter
LoopKit
OmniBLE
OmniKit
As discussed in the Loop Issue, the settings for the ENABLE_MODULE_VERIFIER parameter were modified to be equal to a parameter set equal to not NO instead of hard coded to YES. Each module verification adds about 30 second to the initial build. For Trio, before the proposed modification for the 4 submodules, there were 8 modules verified in the 4 repositories.
Configuration
Build times reported in this Issue were obtained with
Trio dev, commit 023642a2 (0.2.1)
Apple M1 MacBook Pro
Xcode 16.0
macOS 14.6
The Trio fixed test used a local modification to Trio dev.
The 4 submodules were pointed to dnzxy:module-verify branch.
Timing Test
The timing for the build is taken from the Xcode tool.
All tests with Xcode 16.0
All initial builds preceded by Clean Build Folder, close workspace, open workspace
Use the menu sequence: Product, Perform Action, Build with Timing Summary
All times are reported in seconds
View the Build Timing Summary display
Note this does not include time to install the app or open the app on a phone or simulator.
Difference with respect to Loop
For those who read the Loop Issue in detail, you will notice that for Loop dev, the verify for the modules did not happen for the second build. This is not true for Trio dev.
I have no idea why the behavior is different and once this get fixed it won't matter
I am including this information for completeness
The timing reported for Trio is therefore for build 1, 2 and 3 after doing the clean build folder step
Multiple tests of a given configuration gave consistent results for the first and third builds
The second build varied over 3 repeated full trials
The time of the second build was consistent with how many Verify Modules were included
The number varied from 5 to 6, with the larger numbers taking longer (175 s vs 205 s)
Timing for dev and with the fix
