"We wanted to work with a company that would become a business partner: one that has a comprehensive understanding of the mobile space and can help us move ahead. Bitrise stood out as an obvious choice to us."
Bitrise has been instrumental in helping us run builds more efficiently, test new features before releasing them to millions of users, and ensure our users’ banking information stays secure.
Bitrise doesn't just focus on getting things up and running; it also works to make developers' lives easier by solving the many challenges they face every day. That's great news for us here at BuzzFeed.
Use as many as 80 VMs at once with the option of dependency caching.
Set up webhooks for code events, such as code push, Git Tag, or PRs.
Run scripts in Bash, Go, Ruby, JavaScript, and many more with the Script step.
Utilize Bitrise's top-tier build machines and Bitrise Build Cache for speeds up to 20x faster than conventional CI workflows. With build workers and remote cache co-located within the same network, Bitrise virtually eliminates latency, ensuring streamlined access to cached data and consequently resulting in accelerated build speeds.
Connecting your Apple Developer Portal account to Bitrise will make you forget about manually updating your code signing files. We will manage the rest during build time and make sure that archiving and deployment is happening without any issues.
Choose our Dedicated Build Platform for exclusive access to secure machines dedicated solely to your use, or opt for the Private Build Platform, offering custom configuration with a secure firewall and computing setup, enhanced by a site-to-site VPN.
Accelerate build and test times with the Bitrise Build Cache. Our solution supports caching with Gradle and Bazel. By intelligently storing and reusing build and test results, you eliminate the need to start from scratch, reducing time to market, improving DevX, and optimizing CI/CD costs.
Access continuously refreshed VM images for all common mobile development use cases, and seamlessly transitioned with retained older versions. With new tool updates like Xcode delivered within 24 hours of release, you're equipped with the latest technology for your builds.
Steer clear of unwelcome surprises when building your mobile app. Get the data you need, when you need it, to pinpoint flaky tests and breaking builds earlier. Our CI/CD monitoring dashboard provides actionable insights, including build, test, build cache, and credit data. This empowers you to enhance efficiency by illuminating the root of your challenges, effectively unblocking your development pathway.
Unlike standard CI/CD web solutions, we are focussed on being mobile specific, which includes supporting your mobile-specific testing needs. Tests include UI, snapshot, screenshot testing and more.

Yes, Bitrise is a complete CI/CD solution, with a specific focus on CI/CD for mobile apps. Mobile CI/CD is significantly more complex than web or backend CI/CD, and Bitrise solves for the specific challenges of building, testing and deploying iOS and Android apps. Bitrise also goes beyond basic CI/CD, with tools and add-ons that simplify mobile DevOps at every stage of the app development lifecycle.
Core CI/CD tooling includes a version control system (e.g. Git), a CI server or cloud CI service to run builds and tests, artifact storage, and a delivery/orchestration tool for deployments. Tools for security scanning and build monitoring are also commonly integrated. For mobile app development (iOS and Android), you will also need workflows for compilation, code signing, real device and emulator testing, and release management.
Mobile CI/CD is more complex than web or backend CI/CD for a few key reasons:
For these reasons, mobile CI/CD requires a separate, dedicated pipeline to handle compilation, code signing, device testing, and app store submissions.
While general-purpose CI/CD tools like Jenkins, CircleCI, and GitHub Actions can technically be configured for mobile development, they require significant setup and ongoing maintenance to handle iOS and Android builds effectively. Jenkins requires manual configuration of macOS build agents, iOS code signing, and Android SDK management. CircleCI and GitHub Actions offer some mobile capabilities, but lack native support for critical workflows like automated code signing, real device and emulator testing, and app store deployment. Teams using these platforms for mobile often spend weeks on initial setup and considerable time maintaining custom scripts as iOS and Android requirements change. Bitrise eliminates this overhead by providing mobile-optimized infrastructure and workflows out-of-the-box.
For native iOS development, you need a CI/CD platform that provides reliable macOS build infrastructure, seamless Xcode integration, automated certificate and provisioning profile management, and streamlined TestFlight and App Store deployment. While you can configure Jenkins or GitHub Actions for iOS builds, maintaining macOS runners and managing code signing complexity often becomes a bottleneck. Bitrise is purpose-built for iOS development, offering dedicated macOS stacks with up-to-date Xcode versions within 24 hours, automatic code signing, and native integrations with TestFlight and App Store Connect. Our iOS-specific Steps library means you can build production-ready pipelines in hours rather than weeks.
Android CI/CD requires managing Android SDK versions, handling APK/AAB compilation, managing keystores for app signing, and coordinating releases to Google Play Console. CircleCI, Jenkins, and similar tools can run Android builds but require custom configuration for signing, testing on real devices, and Play Store deployment. Bitrise provides pre-configured Android build environments with all necessary SDK tools, automated keystore management, integration with Firebase Test Lab for virtual device testing, plus direct deployment to Google Play tracks (internal, alpha, beta, production). Whether you're building with Kotlin, Java, or cross-platform frameworks, Bitrise streamlines your Android CI/CD from commit to store.
The best CI/CD tool for mobile projects depends on your team’s needs, but obviously we’re going to say Bitrise is the best! But really: we are the mobile-first CI/CD platform. While tools like CircleCI, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions can be customized to run mobile pipelines, this often just leads to more glue code, more tooling drift, and more DevOps headaches in the long-run. At Bitrise, our big differentiators are that we offer macOS build environments, automated code signing, real device testing, app store deployment, and robust integration with cross-platform frameworks like Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native. All this is absolutely essential for mobile CI/CD, and with Bitrise you get it out-of-the-box and ready to go with minimal setup and maintenance.
Cross-platform mobile development frameworks (like React Native, Flutter, Kotlin Multiplatform, and Ionic) are software toolkits that allow developers to build mobile apps for multiple operating systems using a single codebase. Developers using cross-platform tools generally need a CI/CD solution that can handle compiling for both iOS and Android, platform-specific code-signing, and multiplatform testing and deployment. Bitrise provides out-of-the-box support for all major cross-platform frameworks, with dedicated Steps, pre-configured workflows, and optimized build environments for your framework of choice.
Yes! Bitrise offers a free tier with fully-managed, cloud-based build infrastructure. This is fundamentally different from "free" CI/CD tools like Jenkins, which require you to self-host your own infrastructure (i.e. pay for macOS hardware or cloud instances). With Bitrise's free tier, you get instant access to ready-to-go macOS and Linux build environments as part of the package. Our free tier is perfect for individual developers and small teams getting started with mobile CI/CD. As your project grows, you can explore paid plans for additional build capacity and advanced features. For more detail, check out our pricing page.
