React Native OTA updates: Bitrise CodePush demo

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.

CI/CD Testing Guide: What to Test at Every Pipeline Stage

Shipping fast is great until the wrong thing ships fast. A CI/CD pipeline can move code from commit to production in minutes, but speed alone does not tell you whether a login still works, a checkout flow still completes, or a critical form still submits. That is the job of CI/CD testing. The best pipelines do more than pass builds. They catch small problems before they become customer-facing ones, using the right mix of unit, integration, API, browser, smoke, and post-deployment tests.

Announcing Codemagic Patch: an open-source CodePush rebuild for React Native

Having maintained a CodePush fork for 18 months and served billions of updates, we decided it was time for an overhaul. We’re big fans of CodePush, and it was a great benefit to the React Native community. But, it was written in 2015 and had some weaknesses. The biggest of these was architectural, with limitations in how update checks and release metadata could scale. The result, Codemagic Patch, is now public and available to self-host.

React Native New Architecture and OTA Updates: What Teams Need to Know in 2026

The React Native New Architecture is no longer optional. From React Native 0.82 onwards it is mandatory, the legacy architecture is gone, and every team still running it is now carrying technical debt that will need to be resolved. For most teams, the migration conversation quickly turns to tooling. Does our CI/CD pipeline still work? Does our crash reporter still integrate correctly? Do our analytics tools need updating?

Maven Central rate limits: What you need to know

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.
