Kindly, provide me a solution to reduce the gradle build time.

Run cordova build android and cordova build android --debug please.
Is the time needed the same (minus the ~35 seconds for the Ionic build of course)?
If so, this has nothing to do with Ionic but is a pure Cordova thing. You might want to post over at http://issues.cordova.io

Ok, so no difference, right?

rashmi1995 · July 6, 2017, 10:02am

Ya… but I am facing this issue after updating to ionic cli 3.0.0

Sujan12 · July 6, 2017, 10:13am

And before?

As I wrote this is not connected to ionic in any way.
Did you also update cordova?

rashmi1995 · July 6, 2017, 10:42am

Ya I had updated cordova to v7.0.1

Sujan12 · July 6, 2017, 3:27pm

So if the build time changed, it was caused by a change in Cordova CLI or cordova-android. As you are now on 6.2.3 it seems you also updated that.

Did you also update your Android Studio and/or SDK? Then maybe it’s not even Cordova’s fault but just a change in Android.

rashmi1995 · July 7, 2017, 5:39am

I solved this issue by downgrading cordova-android to v6.1.2

Sujan12 · July 7, 2017, 7:58am

How long does the Cordova build need there?

rashmi1995 · July 7, 2017, 8:29am

It takes only 1 to 3 secs…
