In theory, the new "instant run" feature addresses some of the "clean, build, deploy, run" pain.

In practice, what I've seen so far is that sometimes I'm not sure what is being "instantly run" -- my latest code change or something older. Still trying to gain confidence in that feature (or just not use it because I don't understand what it's deploying all the time).

Did you give https://github.com/scala-android/sbt-android-protify a try?

It exists longer than Google's "Instant Run", is faster and works without flaws (in my experience).

Thanks. Will definitely look into it.
