Hey @hichemfantar, I don't know if this is a very actionable issue on the Forge side. Once the application is packaged, startup delay might be.

Does this only happen with apps built by Forge? Is there a specifically part of the packaging process that's causing this startup delay? That would help diagnosing the problem and coming up with a path to resolution.
