Why does the build take 15 minutes?

I’m having to wait approximately 15 minutes each iOS build.  This has been happening over the past few months.

I’m using public release version 2017.3068 (2017.3.31)

The only difference from my other games is that I’ve added the Appodeal plugin.  The generated file size (.app) file is about 45 Mb.  I wouldn’t have thought adding the Appodeal plugin would be the cause for the delay in generating the build.

I was able to generate a build in about 2 minutes a few months ago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Maybe it’s time for offline builds?

Well heck, I just tried live builds and I’m still shaking my head.  It’s the best thing since sliced bread!

I don’t have to wait 15 minutes every time!  I now wait 2 seconds and I have the latest build on my device.  Holy Cow!  I should have tried this earlier.

Thanks Corona SDK team.  What a great feature Live builds is.  Well done.
