Introducing M4 Pro Mac Mini on Bitrise: More Power, Speed & Efficiency for Your CI/CD

Every iOS developer dreams of faster builds, but getting there isn't always straightforward. The reality is, mobile development is a complex process. There are many factors beyond your control—like legal considerations, device compatibility, and app store approvals—that can cause delays and slow things down. The good news is there is one way to speed up your builds without having to cut corners or sacrifice quality: Introducing the Apple M4 Pro Mac Mini on Bitrise.

Best practices for target-based triggers with Bitrise

If you've ever found yourself tangled up in the complexities of setting up CI/CD pipelines, you're familiar with the challenge of mapping code events with build triggers. At times, you may wish to initiate a few checks, while at other times, you prefer to execute several checks at once. It can be slow and, at times, frustrating to ensure that only those CI checks are triggered that are relevant to the code change. A better, more scalable approach? Target-based triggering.

How to set up a monorepo with Bitrise

Over 4000 engineering teams are building mobile apps and related projects using Bitrise. One trend we’ve observed is the increasing use of monorepos by some organizations. In this blog, I’ll show you an example setup that demonstrates the current best practice for using Bitrise CI with monorepos. You can use this as a reference for your own monorepo to achieve a CI setup that prioritizes efficiency, autonomy of project teams, and effective governance.

Jetpack Compose Button Tutorial: From Basics to Advanced Features

Jetpack Compose (sometimes mistakenly called Android Compose) is a powerful new UI toolkit for Android that embodies the principle of ‘Code As UI’, offering aa simpler and faster way to build native android UI using a declarative approach. Of all the UI components in Jetpack Compose, buttons have a special place, as these are the cornerstone of our user interface. They allow the user to take actions, submit forms, and navigate around the app smoothly.

How to Choose a Tech Stack for Mobile App Development

Mobile apps have become an essential part of daily life. You need a mobile application for almost everything these days. Investing in mobile app development makes sense as an entrepreneur or business owner. However, developing a successful mobile application requires making smart technical decisions from the start. Choosing the tech stack is a significant activity during the mobile app development process. A tech stack is a suite of tools and technologies you can use to develop a mobile app.

How to Automate Flutter Code Push with Shorebird and Codemagic

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.

Could RTE blind spots be compromising your web app's performance?

In today’s fast-paced digital world, delivering seamless and efficient web application performance is non-negotiable. But there’s a major area that is often overlooked in performance engineering: remote terminal emulation (RTE). For organizations relying on mainframes or other legacy, terminal-based systems, blind spots in performance testing can introduce vulnerabilities that compromise the front-end web processes that rely on them.

Accelerate your Gradle builds with Gradle Config Cache

There’s a major enhancement for Android developers on Bitrise: our Gradle Config Cache integration is now available to dramatically reduce your build times and make your CI/CD workflows faster and more efficient. This feature is exclusively available as part of Bitrise Build Cache and brings together the best of Gradle and Bitrise to cut down those frustrating waits.

App Store developers: the DSA deadline is looming - are you ready?

Is your app available in the App Store in the EU? Then you hopefully already know about this change, but in case you don't: To comply with the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), Apple is asking that all developers declare their trader status in App Store Connect by February 17, 2025. Failure to do so might lead to your app being removed from the EU App Store.

Comprehensive Guide to Testing React Apps: Unit, Integration, and E2E Testing

When building apps, it’s tempting to dive right into writing code. But if we do this, there’s a good chance that our code will eventually break, as new changes are made and new features are introduced. This is particularly true of React, a library that’s constantly evolving. Testing in React isn’t only about catching hidden bugs but also about maintaining code quality day-to-day.
