Bitrise’s Build Insights functionality allows you to track your build and test performance so that you can stay on target and accelerate your build pipelines. In this article, we’ll take a look at the video tutorial series recently released that gives you a first-hand look at Build Insights.
This is a story about how I switched from Android development to Flutter. About 10 years ago, I created my first Android application. I worked for a company that focused on mobile development — iOS and Android. For me, Android development was the obvious choice. I liked Java more than Objective-C, and in general, Android was more affordable. However, mobile development has changed a lot over the years. There are so many new languages, technologies, and architectures.
A good beta testing program is essential to releasing reliable apps, quickly, that delight your users. Get started with this 7-step framework.
Hiring a software developer is hard work! So how do you know if the programmer you’re interviewing is a good fit for your development team? This guide will help you evaluate candidates by examining their technical skills, team fit, and cultural fit. Incorporating ‘the why’ into your developer interview process can help make sure you’re hiring the right people for your culture. It’s also a great opportunity to gauge how well a candidate will do within your organization.
Apple recently announced that starting from April 25, 2022, all iOS or iPadOS apps you submit to the App Store need to be built with Xcode 13 (or later). This means that Xcode 12 is now deprecated, and people using Xcode 12 or older can no longer publish their apps to the App Store without upgrading their Xcode version. Each year, Apple decides to deprecate the older version of Xcode and stop allowing apps built with it to be uploaded to the store.
In the development world, it’s very common for technologies to be rapidly updated to introduce new features that improve the development experience and performance. These updates are very beneficial for developers because they allow them to create better products. This is especially the case when a CI/CD like Codemagic is used for continuous deployment that streamlines the process of delivering new products.
In the previous two articles in this series, we created our Lambda function and the Alexa Skill. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to connect Amazon Alexa Skill to the AWS Lambda function to trigger Bitrise builds via a voice user interface.
Code review is a widely adopted approach in the world of software development. Having fellow developers check your code (and checking theirs in turn) helps eliminate mistakes, clean the codebase, and share knowledge across the team. But as helpful as it is, code review can still be quite stressful and time consuming.
For so many years, the companies have relied on a group of people for quality assurance – Testers, QA Engineers, etc., to be vigilant and help software development teams to deliver high-quality applications. We spent our days testing, reporting defects, debating business requirements, and wondering if it was a feature instead of a bug. Perhaps the world is changing; we understand this new era requires different approaches, breaking the silos and collaborating more.
Speed up Android build times with simple tweaks to the Java Development Kit and Gradle. After benchmarking build times for 3 projects with different JDK versions, JDK 17 is now also preinstalled on all build stacks to help you get the 9-20% speed improvements we did. Learn more and try them!
This article highlights three technologies that you can combine to create a super-app: Flutter, Firebase, and Codemagic. Our task is to configure Firebase for all platforms supported by the Flutter framework, utilize Firebase Remote Config to alter the appearance of our app without making these changes manually and then set up CI/CD using Codemagic to distribute our app via Firebase App Distribution. We’ll be creating a live demo of the app to demonstrate the power of these technologies.
Hello everyone 👋 Hope you are doing great. As a Tester, you might have received a lot of feedback from different people. Have you ever thought some simple tips can help to sharpen your testing skills? Yes, changing your mindset can bring a lot of changes to your daily routine work, thought process, and career. Have you ever felt that being open to the current bad situation caused less stress and impact on you? Are you reacting to every mishap around you?
In the third blog of our internal platform team series, Zsolt Márta explains how we enabled teams to access their workspaces on Terraform Cloud.
ConfigCat is a feature flag service, it allows you to react to errors and crash reports that Bugfender helps you track and understand.
LambdaTest is our newest Verified Step on board which allows you to perform automated and live cross-browser testing online on 3000+ real browsers and real devices. See how you can benefit by using their services combined with Bitrise!
While the prospect of getting much faster build times with the Apple silicon (aka M1) processors seems very exciting, you may face issues that stem from the architectural differences between arm64 and x86. One of these issues is related to snapshot testing or golden testing on Flutter. You are not alone in this, as it’s a widespread issue in which snapshots generated on an Intel machine fail on Apple silicon machines — and vice versa.
The owners and makers of web applications always try to carve up a section to represent their mobile applications in the footer tab like this on Myntra: Or showcase it with lines that show that their app has much more to offer than their website like Uber: And sometimes, dedicate a complete section on the top 25% screen of the website like Makemytrip: Screen space is very valuable in a web application.
In the second part of our Alexa tutorial series, we explore Alexa Skills, learn how to design a voice user interface (VUI), and build a custom Alexa skill called "Bitrise CI" from scratch.
After you successfully build and test your app, you may want to upload the build to TestFlight or the App Store. Sometimes, you may face an unknown authentication error that makes it difficult for you to upload the iOS binary to App Store Connect. You may even face an authentication error after using a valid App Store API key. If you’ve faced this problem, you’re not alone.
Have you ever faced the task of implementing a REST API and had to call multiple endpoints to populate data for a single screen? You probably wished you had more control over the data returned by the endpoint so that you could fetch more data with a single endpoint call or have only the necessary data fields returned by the call. Follow along to see how you can achieve this with GraphQL. In this article, we’ll be implementing GraphQL in an existing codebase.
In this tutorial, we will share some hands-on experience on how to use the AWS Lambda, learn to design and build a Serverless function to trigger Bitrise builds with Bitrise API via the custom Lambda function.
As the size of a software project grows, so does the complexity of integrating changes made by multiple developers and resolving conflicts and other issues as they arise. Quality control can also become progressively more difficult without proper management of the build pipeline. Automated builds are the standard solution to this problem across the industry. Understanding build automation in detail is a valuable skill for any developer, no matter the size of their team.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Xcode Archive & Export for iOS step to manage your code signing assets, archives and export an.ipa.
In June, more than 200,000 people will gather at one of the most emblematic festivals in Barcelona: Primavera Sound. In addition to pleasing the visitors (which is easy considering the line-up), the organizers must ensure that the sound levels do not disturb the neighbors in the area, something complicated considering it is an open-air festival. That’s where EmmaDB comes in.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Xcode Archive & Export for iOS step with a Flutter app to manage your code signing assets, archives and export an.ipa.
TL;DR: To add events monitoring with Crashlytics to a Unity Android app, you’ll first need to prepare a Firebase project, then add the Firebase plugin to Unity and configure Unity to work with Firebase. Finally, you also need to update your CI/CD pipeline to support the changes. Let’s see how to integrate Firebase Crashlytics into a Unity Android app to monitor and troubleshoot errors easily!
