    Hello,

    It cannot build faster and improve the time unless you remove the packages and do not use the XCframework.

    As described in the Log: Optimizing assemblies for size. This process might take a while. It takes a long time because the size of the app is being compressed.

    You are using a firebase package and a GoogleAppMeasurement package, and the warning is from these XCFrameworks. A XCframework can contain multiple binaries and it contains universal binaries covering the architectures each platform builds for. When you release/publish the app, it will provide you with specific slices to reduce the app size.

    For more details, please refer to Creating a multiplatform binary framework bundle | Apple Developer Documentation

    Reducing your app’s size | Apple Developer Documentation

    Best Regards,

    Wenyan Zhang
