A critical bug is live in production. Your fix is ready. And now your team is staring at a potential multi-day wait for app store review. This is exactly what over-the-air (OTA) updates are designed to solve. Tools like Expo EAS Update, CodePush, Shorebird, Revopush or Stallion make it easy to push updates directly to users’ devices. But OTA updates don't bypass app store rules, they operate within boundaries that both Apple and Google have defined.

Running real integration tests for iOS projects is one of those problems that sounds straightforward until you're actually in it. The core tension: your backend runs on Linux, your iOS app can only build on Apple hardware. The two worlds don't meet naturally. Most teams end up mocking server responses in their mobile tests to isolate components without relying on backend services.

You asked Claude to generate a bitrise.yml. It came back clean: right steps, reasonable workflow names, valid YAML. You almost merged it. Then you noticed it’s using before_run instead of step bundles. There are no version locks on steps. The triggers are structured in a format Bitrise deprecated months ago. It’s a valid config, but it would never pass code review. The quality of an agent's interaction with your CI/CD comes down to two things: what it can do and what it knows.

Bitrise Build Hub is a vertically integrated mobile CI/CD infrastructure layer that drops into GitHub Actions with one line of YAML. GitHub Actions runs your CI, but its Mac runners are holding your mobile builds back. Limited M1/M2 hardware, stale Xcode, no cache co-location, no macOS uptime SLA. The infrastructure wasn't built for mobile. Build Hub was. Build Hub upgrades the runner layer underneath.

An outdated build environment can slow down your team, introduce security risks, and cause hard-to-debug issues. With our upgraded Linux stacks, you get a faster, more secure, and fully maintained build environment: so your team can focus on shipping great apps, rather than managing infrastructure.

React Native teams ship fast. App store reviews do not. Today, CodePush officially launched on Bitrise, giving React Native teams the ability to deliver JavaScript and asset updates directly to users in minutes, without waiting for App Store or Play Store approval.

Mobile development has a reputation for being slow, complex, and harder than it needs to be. Platform quirks, rigid review gates, and ever-growing app complexity can make it feel like the toolchain is working against you. But the data tells a different story. We analyzed tens of millions of builds across thousands of mobile teams on Bitrise, spanning three years of real-world data from 2022 to 2025. The results challenge some common assumptions, and confirm others.

For fifty years, the hardest part of software was writing it. That's no longer true. In 2025, AI coding assistants went mainstream — 90% of developers now use them (DORA 2025). Then came background agents: autonomous systems that take a ticket, write the code, run the tests, and open a pull request while the engineer sleeps. Stripe merges over 1,000 AI-written PRs per week. Ramp reached 30% AI-authored PRs within two months. Spotify has merged 1,500+ agent-generated PRs into production.

For small enterprises with big ambitions, Tapcart opens up a world of possibilities. Founded in 2017, the Los Angeles–based SaaS company is on a mission to democratize access to world-class mobile commerce tools for every brand. A big part of making that happen is its partnership with Bitrise. Few people have seen the evolution of that partnership more closely than Sahand Ansari.

Every Android developer has been there: yesterday's build finished in 2 minutes, but today's identical build takes 8 minutes. You check your code - nothing major changed. You check your environment - everything looks the same. So why the massive difference? Without visibility into what actually changed between builds, debugging performance issues becomes guesswork. You're left wondering: Which tasks didn't come from cache? What inputs changed? Why did this specific compilation task take so long?

See what the Bitrise Step Library can do for you with Senior Solutions Engineer Ben Boral. Instead of relying on custom scripts for functionality, you can use these off-the-shelf components to quickly build a workflow. These steps are open source, allowing you to view their code, fork them, and make changes, or you can write a custom script directly in the Workflow Editor.

In this demo, Naveen Nazimudeen, Solutions Engineer at Bitrise, explores the Build Details page and shows how to quickly get to the root cause of a failed build. He looks at key tabs like Build Logs, Tests (including flaky test detection and quarantine), Artifacts, Build Cache, and VM Monitoring for performance and out-of-memory debugging.

Pipelines allow you to organize your CI/CD tasks into modular workflows that can run sequentially or in parallel. In this demo, Senior Solutions Engineer Ben Boral shows a simple pipeline that runs a fast linting check first, then executes two test suites in parallel to reduce wall clock time, and gates the build step on the success of those tests - speeding up the feedback loop and avoiding wasteful tasks.

Learn how to add a new project to Bitrise CI with Senior PM Jeremy Palmer: selecting privacy settings, connecting your Git provider (like GitHub), and setting up webhooks to automatically trigger builds. Jeremy also covers the authorization steps, selecting a branch, and the auto-detection of your project's configuration settings.

In this video, Ben Boral introduces the Bitrise workflow editor, a GUI abstraction layer built on top of the YAML file that defines CI pipelines and workflows. The Workflow Editor makes users more productive, helps avoid errors, and allows for easily defining and maintaining workflows. The workflow editor generates syntactically valid YAML and is available in both online and local versions, providing the benefits of "pipeline as code" with greater ease of use.

Lex, a solution architect at Bitrise, guides you through a demonstration on comparing build cache invocations to identify the causes of build speed, cache hit rate, or overall build behavior. The focus is on Gradle, but the comparison feature works for other build systems like Bazel and Xcode.

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.
