android studio - Expiring Daemon because JVM heap space is exhausted

Question

I just updated the Android Studio to 3.5 Beta 1 and I'm getting

Expiring Daemon because JVM heap space is exhausted

message while the build is running. Also, the build is taking more time to complete. Does anyone have any idea regarding this?

Answer 1

I was able to solve this for my React Native project by configuring the following:

// gradle.properties
org.gradle.daemon=true
org.gradle.configureondemand=true
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

and

// app/build.gradle
android {
    dexOptions {
       javaMaxHeapSize "3g"
    }
}
