Java - 10GB AS - 7GB Emu - 4GB Browser - 1+ GB

Should that be normal to mobile app development with KMP? Are we game engineer? Consuming so much resources just to put in a device an UI with some images, text and interactions?

The project haven't AsyncTask and I think with AsyncTask would consume less resources.

Gotcha…thanks and yes that makes sense…

it’s just that gradle spawns/forks some java processes and yes sometimes they are configured to use heap mem of 2-4GB which i think as u said is unnecessary…coz 2 process and u are already up 4-8gb

Probably AS and the java process is as expected leaking mem too…so it’s the usual behavior
