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. 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.

How Build Cache for React Native works: caching the C++ your CI keeps recompiling

A React Native build is really two builds stacked on top of each other. On Android, Gradle compiles your Kotlin and Java, then drops down into cmake and ndk-build to compile the C++ that ships inside Hermes, Folly, ReactCommon, and your own turbo modules. On iOS, Xcode does the equivalent: Swift and Objective-C on top, the same C++ underneath via Clang. Two build systems, two languages on top, one shared set of C++ underneath.

Predicting Build Cache time savings with Quick Connect

‍Build Cache can meaningfully shorten CI feedback loops, but only if it’s connected to workflows where it’ll actually make a difference. So how do you figure out which workflows will benefit? That’s the part that’s been easy to get wrong — until now. Quick Connect is a new feature that takes the guesswork out of estimating time savings: it looks at your last 30 days of build data and surfaces the workflows that will benefit themost from caching.

Bitrise Remote Developer Environment CLI: Update iOS App for Xcode 27

Get your iOS app working with recently released Xcode 27 beta using Claude Code running in an RDE. Spin up a trial, and try for yourself! You can power your Agentic AI Development Loop with Bitrise Remote Developer Environments (RDE). Cloud VMs that run on the same infrastructure as Bitrise CI used and trusted by thousands of mobile customers.

WWDC26: the Virtualization framework updates that matter for large Mac fleets

WWDC 2026 delivered plenty for app developers to talk about, but some of the most consequential announcements were aimed squarely at the people running the infrastructure underneath. We've already covered the under-the-radar announcements for iOS developers and what Xcode 27's Device Hub means for CI/CD. This one is for the fleet operators. If you run Mac infrastructure at any scale, the Virtualization framework is already part of your life. On Apple Silicon, it's the only way to run a macOS guest.

Latest Linux updates for June 2026

‍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. Ubuntu Noble 24.04 - Bitrise 2025 Edition is now available as a stable stack, bringing Noble Numbat as the default Ubuntu version to Bitrise.
