How to increase memory for gradle builds

How can I increase the memory for Gradle?

When I build one of the messages that appear says:

To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap.
It currently has approximately 1364 MB.
For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to more than 2048 MB.
To do this set org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048M in the project gradle.properties.
For more information see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html

Can you try editing this file?

github.com

openfl/lime/blob/develop/templates/android/template/gradle.properties

# Project-wide Gradle settings.

# For more details on how to configure your build environment visit
# http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/build_environment.html

# Specifies the JVM arguments used for the daemon process.
# The setting is particularly useful for tweaking memory settings.
# Default value: -Xmx10248m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
# org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

# When configured, Gradle will run in incubating parallel mode.
# This option should only be used with decoupled projects. More details, visit
# http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/multi_project_builds.html#sec:decoupled_projects
# org.gradle.parallel=true

Perhaps we could use something like org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m in that file?

Thanks!

I was including a new template folder for my project because I changed a few things of the main activity and manifest to be able to use Deep Links. I’ll copy that folder now.
