The only build cache built for React Native projects
Cut your React Native build times with three caching layers, Gradle, Xcode, and ccache, that survive native changes.
Tired of version bumps wiping out your entire cache?
React Native developers frequently encounter slow build performance because they rely entirely on fragile key-value (K/V) caches as a workaround.
When apps are built this way, minor native updates, version bumps, and dependency changes cause full cache invalidations, wiping the entire cache.
We replace key-value caches with granular caching, ensuring only the changed parts are rebuilt.
Say goodbye to slow React Native builds
Cut build time by up to 70%
We activate three distinct caching layers: Gradle for Android, Xcode for iOS, and a dedicated new ccache integration for C/C++.
See exactly where your build time goes
Get deep insights into your diverse JS/TS package runners.
Our unified bitrise-build-cache react-native CLI wrapper automatically captures command duration, status, and parameters, grouping complex build tool invocations into a traversable parent-child hierarchy.
Works with any CI or local environment
By connecting your local dev machine to your CI pipeline, our Build Cache ensures you never build the same thing twice on React Native projects - regardless of where it happens.
Unified CLI wrapper
Track cache hit rate, invocation count, upload/download throughput, and failure rate. Set alerts so you know when cache performance drops and get a clear side-by-side comparison view to debug regressions.
Inside Bitrise Build Cache for React Native
Drill into every build, command by command
See how each React Native command triggers Gradle, Xcode, or ccache underneath. The unified dashboard groups every invocation under its top-level command. Click from any React Native call straight into the Gradle or ccache run it kicked off.
Three caching layers, one workflow
Gradle for Android, Xcode for iOS, ccache for C/C++. Each layer caches independently, so version bumps and dependency changes only invalidate the bits that changed. The rest of your cache survives.
Encrypted by default
Your cache is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM envelope encryption. Keys are managed externally and rotated every 90 days. Aligned with GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO/IEC 27001.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes React Native Build Cache different from key-value caches?
Many teams use key-value (KV) caches as a workaround, but KV simply stores and restores the full native build folder. It's fragile to version bumps. In our benchmarks it made builds slower than having no cache at all. Our Build Cache is a smarter alternative because it is granular; only the changed parts are rebuilt.
What measurable build time reductions can we expect with Build Cache?
Real-world tests showed real-world results: Seek's iOS builds improved by ~70%, Seek's Android builds by ~52%, and NotesNook's Android builds improved by ~61%.
How does the CLI wrapper work?
Because teams use diverse JS/TS package managers (yarn, npm, npx), we introduced the bitrise-build-cache react-native CLI wrapper. You prefix your commands with it, and it runs your command unchanged while capturing duration, status, parameters, and cache metrics in the background.
How is my data secured in the Build Cache?
We protect your data with mandatory AES-256-GCM at-rest encryption and unique keys used for strong customer isolation.
