@swmansion Looking at the roadmap I presume it's because codegen still runs for downloaded artifacts so there is no real gains yet in my project in terms of compute/compile time?

[Dom Thomas @speedynomads]

@swmansion Cool looking tool... although wondering if you have any ideas why after implementing it in my RN project and clearly seeing that pre-built artefacts are being pulled in that the actual CI/CD builds times are pretty much exactly the same?
