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.

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.

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.

When it comes to mobile app development, slow build times are not only the biggest source of frustration for developers but also the greatest barrier to innovation and competitive advantage. We surveyed developers at DroidCon New York and they overwhelmingly reported that build delays hindered their ability to release new features, fix bugs, and iterate quickly. Two-thirds of respondents said they wait more than 10 minutes for their mobile builds.

In the fast-paced world of mobile app development, a seamless, secure, and adaptable CI/CD process is essential. Bitrise has established itself as a leader in this domain, providing a mobile-focused CI/CD platform that allows you to automate all your build, test, and deployment workflows. But what if regional restrictions, data sovereignty, or compliance regulations prevent your organization from implementing a managed CI infrastructure like Bitrise?

This year, Apple Intelligence will be available in beta. It's a set of artificial intelligence features that Apple will add to macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices to offer consumers a more personalised experience designed to help improve their efficiency and productivity. There's a lot of excitement around what Apple Intelligence will bring to developers, consumers, and the ecosystem as a whole. You can read more about the possibilities our CEO believes it will unlock here.

We're excited to announce the open beta of a new feature within Bitrise Insights: Bitrise Build Cache Insights. This enhancement expands on our existing Build, Test, and Git Insights, enabling you to monitor and optimize your remote Bitrise Build Cache performance if you're leveraging Bitrise Build Cache for Bazel or Gradle to speed up your builds and tests. Our mission is to empower you with actionable data, alerts, and customizable dashboards to get even more value from your Bitrise experience.

Today's consumers are more health-conscious than ever, leading many to turn to mobile apps to manage their health and well-being on the go. According to Insider Intelligence, over two-thirds of Americans have used a health-related app in the last year. As a result of this shift in behaviour, healthcare providers now have a unique opportunity to reach out to new audiences and form stronger relationships with their customers.

Speed is everything in today's fast-moving business world. For software developers, this means the race is on to get new apps to market faster and better than competitors. In light of this constant pressure to deliver, it's no surprise that the demand for hybrid development continues to rise. After all, with one codebase that runs on multiple platforms, how can you go wrong? In reality the choice is not always so clear-cut.

It’s often said that being first to market with a new product or idea is the key to success, and in many cases it is. But Apple has never chased the so-called first-mover advantage. Apple wasn't the first to release an MP3 player or even the first on the market with a smartphone, yet it has consistently redefined what's possible with technology.
