Hi guys,
I am really fed up with long build times Xamarin.Forms has!
I am currently using a Macbook Pro Early 2011 with 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, 2.2 GHz Core i7 Quad Core processor but it takes ages to build a relatively simple app not to mention building in release mode using LLVM that could take up to 15-30 minutes!
On that note, I am considering to get a new Macbook Pro 2018 Core i9 6-core 32GB of RAM and 2TB SSD. When maxing out the CPU and GPU, the price comes to a whopping £4600 (I can of course claim the 20% VAT back) but before doing so, I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience of building with a high end machine like the one I mentioned above and whether it's worth it or not.
Also, does anyone know if there is a way to boost build times using the GPU power?
Thanks!
