I’m currently developing a React Native app using Expo on Windows, and I’ve encountered a significant bottleneck in the build process. When I submit the app for building, it takes approximately four hours to complete. I’m seeking advice on improving this build time, preferably by optimizing the local development environment.

Details:

Current Setup:

OS: Windows
Development Environment: Visual Studio Code
Framework: React Native with Expo

Issue:

Long build times, approximately four hours, when submitting the app for building.

• I’m looking for suggestions or best practices to reduce the build time, particularly optimizing the local development environment.
• Are there any specific tools, configurations, or techniques I should consider to expedite the build process?
• Is there a recommended workflow or alternative approach to streamline the build process for React Native apps on Windows?
