Bitrise Desktop App: build statuses in your menu bar

Introducing the Bitrise Desktop App; a small native app that lives in your macOS menu bar and shows the live status of your builds in the one spot you already glance at all day. There's nothing to open, refresh, or check: the status of your builds is right there for you to glance at. Meaning you can push builds, keep coding, and look up only when something needs you. Available today for macOS: Download for Mac.

Data Mage: meet our AI data analyst that lives in Slack

As many other data teams do, we have a dedicated Slack channel (#data) where the whole company can ask data-related questions that get picked up by a designated, weekly-rotated data analyst (data mage). It can become tiresome quickly as the questions are fairly repetitive and it takes away precious time from other high-impact tasks. The team built clean, well-documented marts and reports in Metabase that are used regularly, but these were still missing something that makes reporting truly self-service.

How we built a coding agent that lives in Slack, and the recipe to build your own

One of the busiest engineers at Bitrise doesn't have a laptop. It lives in Slack. Assign it a Jira ticket or @mention it in a thread, and it reads the requirements, posts a plan, spins up a cloud dev machine, writes and tests the code, opens a pull request, watches CI, reacts to review comments as they land and once the pull request merges, cleans up after itself and closes the ticket.

How Build Cache for React Native works: caching the C++ your CI keeps recompiling

A React Native build is really two builds stacked on top of each other. On Android, Gradle compiles your Kotlin and Java, then drops down into cmake and ndk-build to compile the C++ that ships inside Hermes, Folly, ReactCommon, and your own turbo modules. On iOS, Xcode does the equivalent: Swift and Objective-C on top, the same C++ underneath via Clang. Two build systems, two languages on top, one shared set of C++ underneath.

Predicting Build Cache time savings with Quick Connect

‍Build Cache can meaningfully shorten CI feedback loops, but only if it’s connected to workflows where it’ll actually make a difference. So how do you figure out which workflows will benefit? That’s the part that’s been easy to get wrong — until now. Quick Connect is a new feature that takes the guesswork out of estimating time savings: it looks at your last 30 days of build data and surfaces the workflows that will benefit themost from caching.

WWDC26: the Virtualization framework updates that matter for large Mac fleets

WWDC 2026 delivered plenty for app developers to talk about, but some of the most consequential announcements were aimed squarely at the people running the infrastructure underneath. We've already covered the under-the-radar announcements for iOS developers and what Xcode 27's Device Hub means for CI/CD. This one is for the fleet operators. If you run Mac infrastructure at any scale, the Virtualization framework is already part of your life. On Apple Silicon, it's the only way to run a macOS guest.
