I need some features to be tested on the actual Android device, like Cordova auth, barcode scanner, camera, gallery, file transfer and push messages.
Currently in RC1 a new Android build takes 4-10 minutes, what is the correct way of debugging Cordova related features? In the pre RC0 versions a new build only took a minute or so. These long compile times really make debugging quite hard and time consuming.
Is there a way to disable uglify, clean css, maybe AoT etc as well until a production build is needed and time doesn’t matter that much?
An example of my output for ionic run android:

Try to updated ionic-app-scripts to the latest version, may that help?
Mine seems to be faster:

Hi, thanks for your recommendation, still no luck. How large is your app?
You can count the lines of code with:
$ cd src
$ find . -name '*.ts' | xargs wc -l
$ ionic run android

For reference: building the tabs template took 50 seconds
I’ve been playing around with the scss files. Turned out the @import “ionic.theme.default” was imported in both app.scss and variables.scss. Since variables.scss is imported in almost every component I can imagine this causes trouble.
Build times improved a lot now

As pointed out in this issue by jgw96 you can even speedup the android device build time:
Hello @basvdijk ! If you would like to do a dev build to your device, which builds alot faster than our prod build (although it does not do any of the optimizations that a prod build does) you can change this line in your package.json to
