Works in local, but I get this error on [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io): ```auto Uncaught translation error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded Uncaught translation error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded 2 errors; aborting :app:transformClassesWithDexForDevDebug FAILED ``` ---

You’re out of memory (RAM) This can usually be solved by setting a couple of params for JVM/Gradle to restrict RAM usage: [http://devcenter.bitrise.io/android/android-tips-and-tricks/#memory-ram-limit](http://devcenter.bitrise.io/android/android-tips-and-tricks/#memory-ram-limit) If the env vars would not help, a user reported an alternative config option: > The build is successful when l add these lines to my `build.gradle` file: ```auto dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "8g" } ``` * * * Alternatively we also provide virtual machines with double the RAM, but that costs double the standard price. Let me know if you’d have any questions, and Happy Building! 🙂 ---

I wanna add some more info, based on my own issue with gradle (proguard, dex tasks): I have increased heap memory in **gradle.properties** , but it didn’t get respected. My gradle is run in `--no-daemon` mode, so it respects the env options for JVM. 👉 **Fix for me was setting this env** `JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024m -Xms256m`. ⚠NEW LINK to Bitrise docs: [Memory settings](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/android-tips-and-tricks/#memory-ram-limit) ⚠Do also note the different env name in docs: `JAVA_OPTIONS` vs mine `JAVA_OPTS`. For me the first didn’t work. ⚠Gradle 5+ decreased default heap to **512MB** from **1GB** More information about Gradle and memory settings can be found here: [Build Environment](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:configuring_jvm_memory) Do take a note about differences between **build** and **client**. ---

@lukaskurucz This was really helpful for me - Thanks I have added JAVA\_OPTS=-Xmx1024m -Xms256m to the Bitrise Env Vars and problems related to Memory exceptions disappeared.
