That's Nathan Hillyer, Director of Engineering at ForeFlight, on what happened after his team started running their GitHub Actions workflows on Bitrise Build Hub. Until last month, trying that for yourself meant talking to sales first. That’s fine for a 300-person engineering org evaluating a CI overhaul, but it made no sense for the two-pizza team that just wants to know whether changing one line of YAML will meaningfully speed up their Xcode builds. That's fixed.

Namespace, Avrea, and Blacksmith are among the fastest GitHub Actions runner providers on the market right now. According to Avrea's August 2026 benchmarks, they all score within about 1% of each other on raw CPU. The same benchmark shows warm builds (populated cache) beating GitHub's default cold start (cache disabled) by anywhere from 5x to more than 140x, depending on the project.

Count how many times you’ve proudly submitted a new PR only for CI to fail for the most mundane and annoying reasons: While these lint rules are useful and important to enforce, would it be possible to just…not have to deal with them? Enter auto-fixing CI, the concept of self-healing PRs and CI workflows, without any human (or agent) interaction: The key detail that enables all of this to work: modern linters can apply trivial and mechanical fixes to most lint violations.

Most AI coding tools run in a Linux container somewhere. Codespaces is Linux. Copilot’s coding agent works in an ephemeral, Actions-powered Linux environment. Nearly every agent framework assumes a container that spins up in seconds. None of them can build your iOS app, or have build cache to speed up the builds, or have simulators that can run tests that you can view.

Apple announced the M6 and M5 Pro on August 25, 2026, both inside the redesigned Mac mini. Bitrise Build Hub will be the first GitHub Actions runner alternative to add them to the fleet. That means your builds run on the newest Apple silicon before any other GitHub Actions runner can offer it. That's not a one-off. We've shipped new runners fast on every Apple silicon generation since M1 all the way up to M4 Pro, and M5 Pro and M6 are next.

The fundamentals of React Native over-the-air updates shouldn't sit behind a paid tier. Today we're shipping three additions to Bitrise CodePush: delta updates that help significantly reduce the size of your updates, CodePush code signing so you can secure every package you push to your users’ devices, and a dedicated Bitrise CI Step that publishes updates straight from your workflow. All three are available to every CodePush user, including everyone on the free plan.

The Configuration YAML view in the Bitrise Workflow Editor now reads your entire bitrise.yml, and tells you while you type whether it's correct for your project. That means real-time validation, autocomplete, hover docs, and go-to-definition/references for anyone who edits bitrise.yml by hand. No install, no setup, available on every plan down to Hobby.

GitHub Actions is the default CI/CD tool for most teams. The runners underneath it, the actual machines your jobs run on, are where the pain shows up. Standard GitHub-hosted runners are slow for heavy repos and complex workflows. The faster ones are gated behind Team and Enterprise plans. GitHub Actions pricing is also notoriously hard to understand, especially for macOS.

From our CodePush webinar: a practical walkthrough of setting up and managing CodePush for over-the-air (OTA) updates on Bitrise using a React Native application. Staff Solutions Engineer Atanas Chanev shows you how updates are handled by pushing a direct update via the command-line interface, promoting a staging release to production, and executing an emergency rollback to a previous version using the API.

Maven Central introduced rate limits for high volume users. Bitrise is protecting its users from rate limiting errors on dependency resolution by hosting a repository manager, a sort of pull-through cache, to reduce load on Maven Central and provide faster dependency downloads. This is enabled by default at not additional cost for all Bitrise hosted builds.

With the holidays coming up, teams may already have started the season's annual code freeze to avoid downtime, unexpected bugs, crashes, or faulty releases. In this whitepaper - featuring mobile engineers behind popular shopping apps - we dive into the latest tendencies, main motives, and technical decision-making factors behind this practice, and discuss whether there's a better way of going forward.

Bitrise is a Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) Platform as a Service (PaaS) with a main focus on mobile app development. It saves developers hours every day by automating tasks that are boring and repetitive from the moment they finish coding till the app lands in an app store. These tasks include unit tests, distributing apps to testers and submitting apps to stores automatically.
Thanks to its open source library with 180+ integrations, developers can seamlessly connect all the tools they love and use for testing, distribution, notification and more. The former Y Combinator startup has already raised over $3.5M and became the choice of mobile CI/CD platform of companies like InVision, Mapbox and Duolingo.
Features you must love:
- Automatic code signing: We know that iOS code signing is a pain. Connect your Apple Developer Account and let us handle your profiles. Just set the export method and you’re good to go, no messing about.
- Bitrise deployment: Bitrise integrates with all the major third party beta testing and deployment services, but we wanted to provide an integrated solution to help you distribute your apps to your testers without the need of registering yet another account after signing up to Bitrise.
- Support by devs for devs: We don’t just have a support staff, we have engineers, and you can talk to them whenever you want. Provided they aren’t on a space walk or having tea with a Klingon (i.e. virtually always!)
- Smart caching done fast: Bitrise automatically configures caching right at project setup for all your dependencies. Adding source code or derived data caching is only a few clicks so you could go out bragging about your superfast build times.
- Security with no compromise: Every build runs on its own virtual machine, and all data is discarded at the end of the build. We also hired sharks with laser beams on their head, just in case. Click for our detailed security policy.
- Fast and reliable emulators: Run your Android UI tests on solid and snappy virtual devices. Bitrise fully integrates with Firebase Test Lab, showing your test reports with videos and screenshots right on the build’s page.
