How to Show Build Time in Xcode
Ever wondered how long your Xcode project takes to build? Adding a build-time logger can help you measure and optimize your workflow. Here’s a simple way to achieve it.
Step 1: Enable Build Time Logging
- Open the Terminal.
- Run the following command:
1
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode ShowBuildOperationDuration YES
This command enables the build time display in Xcode.
Step 2: Check Build Time
- Build your project using Command+B.
- The build duration will appear in the Xcode status bar. If you want to remove this feature, run the following command:
1
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode ShowBuildOperationDuration NO
Why It’s Useful
- Monitor build time to identify performance bottlenecks.
- Track improvements when optimizing your codebase.
That’s it! You now have a quick and easy way to track your build times in Xcode.
