Product Updates

Bitrise has opened a private beta for Gradle Test Distribution, letting Android teams significantly accelerate test execution through scalable, parallel processing. By running tests across remote workers within Bitrise’s internal network, teams can cut test times in half and free up local and CI resources.

Bitrise has launched a private beta for Remote Build Execution (RBE) with Bazel, enabling dramatically faster builds through parallel execution on scalable infrastructure. With RBE workers, CI runners, and cache co-located in the same data center, teams can achieve up to 13x faster builds.

In our recent webinar, we tackled a familiar frustration for many engineering teams: long build times. Our expert panel broke down the problem and explored how remote build caching can deliver faster builds, improved workflows, and real business value. Here are the five biggest takeaways!

Apple’s WWDC25 jump to uniform version-26 platforms brings Xcode 26 in Sept 2025, and Bitrise will ship a same-day stable stack. Discover the breaking-change highlights, testing timelines, and prep steps you’ll need before Apple makes Xcode 26 builds mandatory in April 2026.

Bitrise Release Management now offers release note presets and per-release localization controls. Streamline multilingual app updates and reduce the repetitive work of writing release notes!

Recent arrivals: Enhanced Environment Variables! These additions to Bitrise give mobile development and DevOps teams the contextual information needed to create more thoughtful, efficient workflows.

How can you introduce more tests without slowing down your CI pipeline? The answer: test sharding! Dive into what test sharding is and get step-by-step instructions for how to reduce your build times by up to 50% using Bitrise’s out of the box sharding features.

Managing multiple apps with different store accounts just got easier! Until now, apps in Release Management had to share the same store connection as their Bitrise Project. Not anymore: you can now use your Bitrise Project’s connection or configure an app-level connection.

New troubleshooting feature in Bitrise Build Cache! Invocation Diffing allows you to compare two command invocations side by side to quickly identify differences in environment variables, configuration files, machine types, and more.
