Expiring Daemon because JVM heap space is exhausted?

Question

I just updated the Android Studio to 3.5.0 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 error help me?

Answer 1

I had the same problem, and the following answer helped but needs to be adapted to React Native.

Make your gradle.properties look like the following:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

And add the following in your app/build.gradle under the android task:

android {

  dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
  }

}

As you add more modules to your app, there is an incredible demand placed on the Android build system, and the default memory settings will not work. To avoid OutOfMemoryErrors during Android builds, you should uncomment the alternate gradle memory setting present in /android/gradle.properties:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Answer 3

After trying couple of solution below code finally resolve the error

Add below in gradle.properties

org.gradle.daemon=true
org.gradle.configureondemand=true
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1028m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
