TL;DR AI is no longer the future. It is the present. Global enterprise AI spending will roughly reach $2.6 trillion in 2026, generative AI now touches 65% of Fortune 500 workflows, and your competitors in both the mid-market and enterprise space are deploying agents, copilots, and predictive models at a pace that would have seemed impossible 3 years ago.

Having maintained a CodePush fork for 18 months and served billions of updates, we decided it was time for an overhaul. We’re big fans of CodePush, and it was a great benefit to the React Native community. But, it was written in 2015 and had some weaknesses. The biggest of these was architectural, with limitations in how update checks and release metadata could scale. The result, Codemagic Patch, is now public and available to self-host.

WWDC 2026 delivered plenty for app developers to talk about, but some of the most consequential announcements were aimed squarely at the people running the infrastructure underneath. We've already covered the under-the-radar announcements for iOS developers and what Xcode 27's Device Hub means for CI/CD. This one is for the fleet operators. If you run Mac infrastructure at any scale, the Virtualization framework is already part of your life. On Apple Silicon, it's the only way to run a macOS guest.

If you're building iOS apps on Bitrise and using one of the Xcode 26 edge stacks, you must switch to the Xcode 26 stable stack before July 31, 2026.

Every CIO has a slide deck full of AI pilots by now. A chatbot that answers FAQs. A copilot that drafts emails. An agent that summarizes meetings and files the notes nobody reads. The demos get applause in the boardroom, the budget gets approved for “phase two,” and then largely nothing happens. The pilot quietly lives on in a sandbox, forever 80% done, forever six weeks from launch. If that sounds familiar, you are not behind. You are, statistically, in the majority.

AI-assisted builds grew 164x in a year. The rate teams ship to users fell by a fifth. Arpad Kun, VP of Engineering and Infrastructure at Bitrise, on the gap that opened up in between, and what his team built to close it.

Debugging tools have evolved from rudimentary catch-all software into specialist solutions for different languages, userbases and development stages. The best debugging strategies choose the right tool for their specific use case, and this guide will help you do that. We’ll give you the knowledge to: We’ll mention our own product in this list, but don’t worry: the content you’ll find here is impartial, comprehensive and educational, not salesy.

Rubber duck debugging allows us to discover our own coding errors by retracing our steps. Instead of relying on complex black-box tools, we simply explain our own logic until the problem reveals itself. This is one of the most straightforward debugging techniques around, and it can be easily enhanced by AI tools.

AI agents are no longer a pilot-stage bet. As of 2026, 80% of enterprises have at least one production AI agent deployed. The global AI agents market has crossed $10.91 billion and is sprinting toward $52.62 billion by 2030. The cost-per-task economics are staggering: a human-handled customer support ticket costs $4.18 on average. An AI agent resolves the same ticket for $0.46. That is a 9x cost reduction, right there.

‍An outdated build environment can slow down your team, introduce security risks, and cause hard-to-debug issues. With our upgraded Linux stacks, you get a faster, more secure, and fully maintained build environment: so your team can focus on shipping great apps, rather than managing infrastructure. Ubuntu Noble 24.04 - Bitrise 2025 Edition is now available as a stable stack, bringing Noble Numbat as the default Ubuntu version to Bitrise.
