About Bitrise
Bitrise is a CI and release platform built for mobile apps. It builds, tests and ships iOS and Android apps, and it can also work alongside an existing CI system.
What it does
Bitrise runs builds in managed environments with pre-built steps for common tasks. Code signing is handled as part of the pipeline, and tests can be split across real devices. Release management sends builds to the app stores with staged rollouts and approval gates. A remote build cache speeds up Gradle, Bazel and Xcode builds. CodePush delivers React Native and Expo updates, with a free tier of up to 100k monthly active users, per the site.
