The Bitrise Mobile Insights 2025 report (analyzing 10M+ builds) reveals that while mobile CI pipelines are 23% more complex, leading teams cut build times by 28% through automation like build caching. React Native dominates cross-platform builds (83%). Top performers ship biweekly or faster and adopt new Xcode releases rapidly. The report highlights the rising cost of flaky tests and confirms that strategic CI/CD investment offers a major competitive advantage.

This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. Bitrise Mobile Report, new benchmarks and 28% faster build times. By Bitrise. Analysis of 10M plus Bitrise builds demonstrates how innovative teams release faster, what developer tools are gaining traction, and how engineering leader scan benchmark efficiency and accelerate app delivery. Bitrise, the leading DevOps platform for mobile has released Bitrise Mobile Insights 2025, a comprehensive benchmarking report based on aggregated, anonymized data across 10M-plus BitRise builds over 3.5 years across its global customer base. January 2022 to June 2025, innovation is accelerating, user expectations are rising, and engineering

teams face constant pressure to deliver, said Barnabas Biermocker, CEO of BitRise. This report demonstrates how reducing friction empowers teams to deliver faster and with greater impact. Addressing the complexity of mobile development, the study reveals a striking paradox. While Mobile C pipelines have grown 23% more complex, leading teams have reduced build times by 28%. The report reveals the key trends shaping mobile development and gives teams the metrics they need to measure progress and improve performance. Mobile development is getting more complex and demanding, said RPOF engineering and infrastructure at Bitrise. These insights give engineering teams the benchmarks they need to understand where they stand and where they should

focus to level up. Speed without compromise, mobile pipelines are growing in complexity, yet build times are 28% faster via automation and optimization strategies. Teams leveraging build cashing saw median build times drop 25%, with the slowest builds improving by 30%. Cross platform gains momentum. 30% of Bitrise builds are now non-native, with React Native emerging as the leader, growing from 63% of all cross-platform builds in 2022 to 83% in 2025. GitHub is strengthening its position as the source code management platform of choice, with 73% of bidrise builds originating from its platform triggers, up 15% in three years. Automated testing and distribution delivers faster release cycles.

Top-performing teams using app release automation ship bi-weekly are faster, 54%. Xcode adoption as a competitive advantage, leading teams adopt new Xcode releases in just four weeks, while laggards take 19 to 21 weeks, a critical gap when Apple Spotlights apps using the latest OS features. The hidden cost of flaky tests. Test flakiness is rising across the industry, with the proportion of teams experiencing any flakiness growing from 10% to 26%. However, teams using monitoring tools experience 25% fewer flaky reruns and maintain. higher build success rates. The performance gap between leaders and laggards is widening. Teams that adopt delivery efficiency practices early, like pipelines, caching, and release automation, etc., are shipping twice as fast while handling significantly more complexity. This isn't theoretical. We've analyzed millions of builds that proves small, strategic investments in your mobile pipeline

compound into major competitive advantages, said Kuhn.
