Effortless internal and tester build distribution arrives in Bitrise

In the dynamic world of mobile app development, the speed and simplicity with which you can share builds with testers and stakeholders can be the difference between a successful, on-time, bug-free release – or watching that opportunity fly by. To help your team maximize all of these opportunities, there’s a new feature within Release Management: Build distribution for testing.

How to Fix Android's Resources. NotFoundException

The Resources.NotFoundException is Android's way of saying "Hey, you told me to grab something, but it's not where you said it would be!" This error typically shows up when you're trying to access strings, layouts, drawables, or other resources that Android can't locate in your app's resource files. Maybe they were renamed, deleted, or never existed in the first place. Or perhaps they're hiding in the wrong folder.

Introducing Graph Pipelines: build faster, build smarter

Are you struggling to keep reducing build times as your project grows in complexity? Got particular workflows that take a long time to complete which needlessly hold up other parts of your build whilst you wait for the next stage? The waiting ends now with Graph Pipelines, a new feature which enables you to reduce overall build time by running CI tasks in parallel.

Why Scalable Mobile App Distribution is Critical to Faster Releases and Reduced Risk

Distributing mobile apps at scale is riddled with challenges such as platform fragmentation, inefficient processes, and the lack of centralized version control — leading to higher costs, slower releases, and risks to user experience. Sauce Labs helps solve these problems by offering secure app distribution, simplified app storage and management, and enterprise-grade scalability for iOS and Android.

Gain clarity and control with custom git commit status reports

Ever commit code and wonder how it’s faring in the pipeline? Let's make every status update as clear as day. Every time you push new code, a series of automated CI builds and checks spring into action, each telling a part of your project's story. This is where git commit statuses come in—they transform the complex results of these processes into clear, actionable insights. Think of them as real-time signals that indicate whether your code is ready to go live or needs a little more attention.

Kotlin Flow Tutorial: Build Reactive and Scalable Applications

Efficient handling of asynchronous data streams is an important tool of modern application development. Kotlin Flows, part of the Kotlin Coroutines library, provide a flexible and elegant solution for working with such data streams. Kotlin Flows are part of Kotlin Coroutines – unlike traditional callbacks or RxJava handling, which can be clunkier and may not directly integrate with your existing code structure easily.
