For teams using CI/CD, the specs of the build machine can have a significant impact on development productivity. Faster builds mean shorter fix-and-verify cycles, which speed up the overall development process. However, it’s hard to know how fast each CI/CD service actually is without comparing them under the same conditions. In this article, I compare the iOS build speeds of GitHub Actions, Bitrise, and Codemagic using the same Flutter project, and compare them in terms of cost-performance as well.

If you’re a mobile developer running builds on Jenkins, you already know the drill: a flaky agent goes down on a Friday afternoon, your Xcode version is three months behind, and the DevOps engineer who set the whole thing up left six months ago. The builds ship eventually - but at what cost? Jenkins is a powerful, battle-tested automation server. For teams building web backends or managing complex polyglot pipelines, it earns its place.

We previously explored how Codemagic CLI tools can streamline iOS app deployment to App Store Connect with GitHub Actions. The Codemagic team has continuously improved these tools, extending their capabilities to Android releases on Google Play Console.

Have you ever found it a bit tedious to enter the same release notes text every time you submit an app for review in the stores? In this article, I’ll introduce a method to automate this small but repetitive task. It’s very easy to implement, so please read on.

In this article, I will introduce the steps to integrate Shorebird with Codemagic CI/CD, using the Codemagic Workflow Editor. You will be able to incorporate a workflow that allows code push of Dart code changes without requiring installation from the store. In the following example, changes to the text displayed in the user interface are reflected immediately.

App Center, a popular CI/CD platform from Microsoft, announced it will close its doors on March 31st 2025. This has left many mobile developers and teams looking for an alternative. Probably the most affected is the React Native community who have relied on App Center because of its OTA updates with CodePush.
