React Native teams ship fast. App store reviews do not.
Today, CodePush officially launched on Bitrise, giving React Native teams the ability to deliver JavaScript and asset updates directly to users in minutes, without waiting for App Store or Play Store approval.
Ship instantly
When a critical issue hits production, waiting days for store review is not an option.
With CodePush on Bitrise, you can:
- Push hotfixes in minutes
- Roll out urgent updates without review delays
- Ship time sensitive content
- Test safely with staged rollouts
Developers bundle JavaScript and assets into an update package, publish it to Bitrise CodePush, and the app checks for updates. Eligible updates are then downloaded and applied.
You move at the speed of your team, not the speed of the app stores. You can read more about how it works in our documentation.
Operate simply
Since the deprecation of Microsoft App Center in 2025, running CodePush has become significantly more complex. Teams are left with two difficult options: maintain custom infrastructure with ongoing operational overhead, and unpredictable cloud/CDN egress costs, or rely on third party providers that can be costly and may lack essential security certifications.
Bitrise eliminates that trade off.
CodePush is fully managed and built directly into Bitrise Release Management, eliminating some notable headaches:
- No self hosting
- No third-party CDN to configure
- No infrastructure to secure or scale
- No stitching together third party tools
Update orchestration and global delivery are unified in a single workflow and users can benefit from Release Management’s build distribution and store releases.
Setup can be completed in as little as one day, meaning you can focus on shipping product while we handle the infrastructure.
Scale predictably
As your app grows, operational costs and infrastructure complexity often grow with it. CodePush on Bitrise is designed differently.
Pricing is based on Monthly Active Users, giving you predictable costs aligned with actual app usage. Because Bitrise operates its own global delivery network and aggregates traffic volumes across multiple customers, the delivery infrastructure has higher efficiency compared to what typically customers individually would be able to build or contract for.
Data transfer is bundled at near-infrastructure cost and not marked up as a separate profit center. With Bitrise, you are paying for the software capability, with delivery included.
To make it easier for anyone to get started, there is a generous free tier for up to 100,000 MAUs, suitable for both Bitrise and non-Bitrise users.
Built for modern React Native teams
React Native teams already rely on Bitrise to build and ship their apps. Our 2025 Mobile Insights Report found that 1 in 4 builds on Bitrise are for React Native projects, reflecting its growing role in modern mobile development.
Bitrise CodePush supports modern React Native projects, including the New Architecture and Expo, ensuring compatibility with today’s most widely used React Native setups.
CodePush integrates seamlessly with Bitrise CI, but it is not limited to Bitrise build pipelines. Teams using other CI systems can still integrate CodePush and take advantage of the fully managed service.
Together with Bitrise CI and Release Management, this makes Bitrise a strong platform for React Native teams looking to build, ship, and update apps more efficiently.
