Lint task never finishes for Android multi-module project with dynamic feature module

Question

Our app contains over 20 multi-modules and one on-demand dynamic feature module.

Before adding dynamic feature module, it took 20-30 mins for lint task to complete both on CI and local, but after adding dynamic feature module, it DOES NOT COMPLETE even after 1-2 hours both in CI and local, and it is now becoming a serious problem.

I assume that taking 20-30mins for lint is already a weird situation, but we do like to first solve the problem of lint not finishing its task at all.

I have looked over the issue tracker about supporting dynamic feature module; although it says that the issue has been solved and says that checkDependencies flag is unnecessary, removing the flag does not change the situation in our project.

On CI, we run gradle command ./gradlew app:lint{Flavor}Debug (In our case, ./gradlew app:lintDevDebug )to run the lint.

Here is our gradle config for app:

app/build.gradle

lintOptions {
    // several disable config
    disable ...
    checkReleaseBuilds false
    checkDependencies true // making it 'false' does not seem to solve the issue
    abortOnError false
    textReport true
    textOutput 'stdout'
  }

There is no lint config for any other build.gradle files on other modules or the dynamic feautre module.

Any help or comment would be appreciated.

Thank you!
