If you're part of a GitHub shop evaluating Bitrise for your mobile app teams, you might be hearing a familiar objection: "Why add another tool? GitHub Actions is our org standard, and it will work for mobile." It's a reasonable point. Nobody wants to maintain a snowflake system that sits outside the approved tool list. But here's the thing — it doesn't have to be GitHub Actions *or* Bitrise. The reality is that mobile CI/CD has unique demands.

Having a build cache solution is a powerful way to speed up builds, especially at scale. Bitrise Build Cache already accelerates builds across multiple ecosystems, but to get the most out of it we also need to optimize the build cache clients themselves and ensure stability across changing network environments. In this blog post, I’ll walk through the steps we took to improve stability and performance for Bitrise Build Cache customers.

This is the fourth and final installment in our series about bringing AI to Bitrise. In Part 1, we explained why we built our own AI coding agent. Part 2 covered our browser-integrated AI Assistant. Part 3 detailed how we brought AI to the Bitrise Build Cloud. In this final post, we'll explore how we unified these efforts into a cohesive AI Platform.

For many developers, AI coding assistants are already as fundamental as a terminal window or version control system. Data from DORA shows that 90% of IT professionals are using AI at work. StackOverflow’s 2025 Developer Survey found that over half of professional developers use AI daily.

Europe’s transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is gearing up and one car maker is leading the charge. The Volkswagen Group recently eclipsed Tesla as Europe’s top EV maker, with deliveries surging a stunning 89% year on year to 347,900 vehicles. But it’s too early to celebrate yet, with the EU’s 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars looming large, keeping adoption moving is crucial. That’s where Elli, Volkswagen Group’s charging and energy company, comes in.

At Bitrise, we work with thousands of mobile engineering teams, from high-growth startups to some of the world’s biggest brands. Having that unique vantage point gives us a deep understanding of the challenges teams face day to day, and the strategies that deliver the best results.

TL;DR: We created Remote Execution and Computer Use APIs for macOS, packaged them as a MCP server, and now your AI assistant can spin up Virtual Machines (VMs), run shell commands, transfer files, and even click around the Graphic User Interface (GUI). It's a prototype. It's a bit wild. We'd love to know what you'd build with it.

This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to security best practices to ensure that our customers' data stays safe and secure with us. As part of an ongoing effort, we renew our SOC 2 Type 2 Report each year. Starting in November 2025, our PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance (AOC) will be renewed annually as well. We’re also happy to announce that we’ve launched our brand-new Trust Center, a central hub for security, compliance, and privacy practices at Bitrise.
