Instead of replacing the build system or abstracting away the platform with cross-platform frameworks to improve build times, we've long offered module cache – but that required migrating to generated projects. Something worthwhile, but also costly.

However, now you can finally optimize your local and CI builds in a couple of minutes with Tuist now officially supporting the remote Xcode compilation cache. Run "tuist setup cache" in your project, update your build settings, and cut those build times.

How much can your build times be improved? Depends – as always 😉 We've benchmarked our solution against real-world open source projects and you can expect to cut your clean build times by 20 to 50%. And we expect this to get better as the compilation cache improves.

What does this mean for the Tuist module cache? Turns out, the Tuist module cache currently outperforms the Xcode compilation cache – moving to generated projects is still a worthwhile investment.
