Carthage Building scheme makes Bitrise to timeout after 90 minutes

Question

I am using Bitrise and I have updated both my development machine and bitrise stack to Xcode 11.

When running a build, the Carthage dependencies need to be regenerated and since I am using AWS dependencies, even in my Mac book pro, they take a long time to build and they make the Bitrise build to time out.

Here there is an example on how my bitrise.yml is configured:

...
workflows:
  test:
    steps:
    - gitlab-status:
        run_if: not (enveq "BITRISE_GIT_COMMIT" "")
        inputs:
        - private_token: "$GITLAB_STATUS_TOKEN"
        - preset_status: running
        - api_base_url: https://gitlab.company.cloud/api/v4
    - activate-ssh-key:
        run_if: '{{getenv "SSH_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY" | ne ""}}'
    - git-clone: {}
    - cache-pull:
        inputs:
        - is_debug_mode: 'true'
    - certificate-and-profile-installer: {}
    - carthage:
        inputs:
        - verbose_log: 'yes'
        - carthage_options: "--platform ios --no-use-binaries --cache-builds"
    - cocoapods-install: {}
    - xcode-test:
        inputs:
        - scheme: CompanyApp
        - project_path: CompanyApp.xcworkspace
        - simulator_device: iPhone 8
    - xcode-test:
        inputs:
        - project_path: CompanyApp.xcworkspace
        - simulator_device: iPhone 8
        - scheme: CompanyAppUITests
    - gitlab-status:
        run_if: not (enveq "BITRISE_GIT_COMMIT" "")
        inputs:
        - private_token: "$GITLAB_STATUS_TOKEN"
        - api_base_url: https://gitlab.company.cloud/api/v4
    - cache-push:
        is_always_run: true
        inputs:
        - is_debug_mode: 'true'
    - deploy-to-bitrise-io: {}
...

Just in case, they are the last 2 lines from the build log

*** Building scheme "AWSLogs" in AWSiOSSDKv2.xcodeproj
*** Building scheme "AWSMachineLearning" in AWSiOSSDKv2.xcodeproj

Any ideas???

This is completely opposite than how you should use Carthage, the only reason everything is built to frameworks is to not rebuild it every time, try cocoa pods then. — Lu_, Oct 22 '19 at 08:46
Yes, I agree with you. However the .gitignore is not allowing the build frameworks from carthage. I picked this project from another developer. Do you think if if I allow them I won't have this issue? — Reimond Hill, Oct 22 '19 at 08:56
I thing you should remove that from gitignore and push libraries to repo in this case — Lu_, Oct 22 '19 at 08:58
@Lu_ After modifying my .gitignore to accept the Carthge/Build made the job. Post it as an answer! — Reimond Hill, Oct 30 '19 at 08:31

The solution is to not rebuild libraries in CI, after adding them to repository and skipping build part in CI you will see huge build time decrease.

Try removing --no-use-binaries.

By selecting to not use binaries, large dependencies can't provide you with pre-compiled binaries to greatly decrease compile times. If you remove that flag you should notice that compilation speeds up.
