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

Jul 1, 2026 By Miklós Tóth In Bitrise
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.

WWDC 2026: Device Hub and what it means for CI/CD

Jun 18, 2026 By Oliver Falvai In Bitrise
At WWDC 2026, Apple shipped a long list of changes, and we covered the ones flying under the radar in our round-up of the less-reported announcements. One of them deserves a closer look on its own: the way Xcode 27 reshapes how developers manage devices and simulators. Xcode 27 ships with a new app called Device Hub, replacing Simulator.app found in older Xcodes. Device Hub is where both physical devices and simulators can be managed from now on.

WWDC 2026: Under-the-radar announcements for iOS developers

Jun 15, 2026 By Ben Boral In Bitrise
WWDC 2026 delivered plenty to talk about. Apple's renewed AI push, Xcode 27 (that we shipped to customers in beta within 24 hours of the keynote!), and refreshing Liquid Glass. It also delivered a notable absence: no M5 Mac minis yet, which we covered separately. Now that the dust has settled, Bitrise’s Ben Boral went looking for the announcements that slipped past the highlight reel. If you're a mobile developer, these three are worth your time.

The most reliable Mac fleet for GitHub Actions: M4 Pro available now

Jun 3, 2026 By Catherine Doyle In Bitrise
Apple didn't announce the M5 Pro at WWDC, and the M4 Pro Mac Mini industry shortage isn't going anywhere either. Neither should affect your CI. Apple pulled the base model from its store and discontinued the 32GB config. What's still available ships in weeks with some configs months out. Resellers are asking $979 for $599 machines and Tim Cook confirmed the constraints will last several more months.

Ship iOS and Android builds twice as fast on GitHub Actions

Jun 1, 2026 By Naveen Nazimudeen In Bitrise
Last year, Nathan Hillyer's iOS platform engineering team at ForeFlight had self-hosted Mac hardware in their office, two engineers keeping them alive, and a codebase with over 2 million lines of Objective-C, Swift, and C++. Every Xcode update was a fire drill. Every capacity spike during a merge meant somebody was physically racking hardware in the Austin office. ForeFlight didn't want a new CI system. They wanted to stop being a data centre.

Open Source Registries Are Changing: Here's How Bitrise Keeps Your Builds Running

May 29, 2026 By Viktor Benei In Bitrise
