Bitrise Reviews

Clean UI, customizable workflow. Rich set of features and plugins for customization and extensibility. Absolutely love the UI to manage the task, secrets, signing, and build artifacts. Support for remote debugging

Do not support own on-premise infrastructure. While it is a great solution, it is not cheap. It could be very expensive for a large scale usage. Cannot access build logs at real-time, need to wait until the build completion

It's a perfect solution for small to medium size org/usecase

Mobile Build automation, workflow management, continuous integration and continuous delivery based on git events using web hooks. Easy management of artifacts and playStore/App store submission

I love how simple and easy it is to set up a build that will automatically run for each commit and distribute my app to the App Store; I love the user interface and user experience that is very aimed at Mac OS users.

The pricing was a bit high for me and the free version was limited in build time, which had me using other services at many points.

We wanted to have a continuous integration and deployment flow that was hosted on the cloud rather than on an internal server. Every commit pushed to our git repo is automatically built by Bitrise and deployed to the App Store.

I love how easy to set it up to your jobs it is just a few clicks and you have a working CI system. It is easy to set up and easy to use. I like how they keep up to date with the latest technologies and xCode enviroments.

The error messages sometimes not obvious it needs some dig in to find the fix. Whoever the support is really good and helpful

It is the easiest CI system you ever used. Just try it and you will fall in love in a second. It is the most easy CI system for anybody.

I always try to set up a CI system but most of them so difficult to set up. Bitrise is just a few clicks.

Simple setup and the open source steps are a massive plus !

So far, so good, nothing that I dislike !

Making sure android and iOS apps build on a fresh environment, that unit tests pass et then generate builds directly uploaded to the app stores, life saver !

Easy, effortless CI pipeline with great documentation. Point at the repository and it's simply working.

Developing custom steps can be a little challenging, but support is always there to help you if you have questions.

Cross-platform mobile app continuous integration/delivery

I’ve been a customer of Bitrise for more than 3 years for 2 differents apps. It helps me and my team to stay focus on delivering value instead of losing time in technical Ops issues ans maintenance

Some companies may be afraid to have theirs source code / sensitive materials accessed on the cloud (security consideration)

We have put in place CI / CD with Pull Request Check on Github. Automatic iOS and tvOS app delivery (nightly, weekly, release candidate). We also use bitrise to deliver builds to our QA (iOS, tvOS, Android, React Native ...)

Bitrise has very powerful options (we use the Elite plan) with a great interface. We get that for a set price per month, which is a lot easier to sell to the finance department than the exorbitant prices that most alternatives ask for Mac OS credits nowadays.

I can't think of anything I dislike. When we started using Bitrise it was a bit hard to use the workflow step library, but that has been resolved.

We develop a React Native app that we test using Detox which then sends the screenshots to Percy for visual regression tests. This flow is kicked off on every PR so we can merge changes with confidence. Covering the whole app means the tests can take a while, so it is important the whole flow is stable and quick. With other CI services we often faced flakyness and run-times of over an hour, which (especially combined) can grind the team to a halt on a bussy day. Bitrise gives us the power and stability we need to make the tests help rather than hinder us.

I love how user friendly it is and the documentation. Also support is there for you if you have questions. It saved me A LOT of time when building apps because I don't need to archive them on my computer and distribute them manually, bitrise does it for me and monthly bitrise subscription is WAY cheaper than developer hours.

None really, I really like the service .

Just do it, saves time and simplifies automation so much !

No need to worry about distributing the app.

Saving a lot of time because I as a developer am not wating for code to archive and distribute from my laptop, bitrise does that by pulling it from github. And that was 10 minutes per commit that you want to get distributed.

One place where testers can find all versions by filtering.

The UI is great and easy to understand. The API is fully documented and allows us to automate even more with our workflows.

The support team is very quick to respond, with good responses!

All the steps are open source, so you can explore what is done and create your own very quickly.

VM should be a little more powerful, but I understand that the cost will be more elevated if so.

Go and use it, you can save a loooot of time !

Release build every two weeks.

Nightlybuild every night: build and push to TestFlight for ours users.

Build and test every pull request

(Same on the Android team)

Clear UI, easy configuration, pipelines and hooks

Android emulators have some minor stability issues.

Try the trial period and see for yourself if it's the tool you need. :)

The biggest benefit is running UI tests on mobile devices, other than that the whole pipeline integration and hooks are a big plus.
