Question

I've Created below YAML for iOS Build Pipeline for Monorepo environment and Reactive as frontend. Pipeline is taking so much of time (Nearly 57 minutes) in Azure Devops, specially build step taking 39-43 minutes. Please help to reduce the pipeline build time.

Pipeline steps and timing

Answer 1

I am able to extend my pipeline time duration for Azure Hosted Agent, I've added 1 job at pipeline root lable with timeout and added time out in each tasks.
