Custom VM Settings

Hello Richard,

Generally, it should not be necessary to change the VM settings AppCode ships with.
By default, the amount of memory AppCode will use is in fact limited, since a large memory allocation may also cause longer GC pauses = worse user experience.

For very large projects, it may become necessary to increase AppCode's limit.
However, ever since version 2018.2, AppCode monitors the available heap space and will proactively offer to increase the memory limit, should it become necessary.

So overall, we recommend you not change any settings unless advised by AppCode or we explicitly ask you to do so.

Best,
Florian
