Bitrise is a wonderful product. Last year a close friend and I formed an LLC and built an iOS app on contract. There was an insane number of things that we had to figure out from scratch, but our CI Just Worked and allowed us to easily send install links to our client.

That is so great to hear! Would love to hear more about your story!

Do the Docker containers that builds run in still provide root access to the Docker socket, allowing people to break out of the container?

You have passwordless sudo access on the Docker containers, however when you kick off a new build we will create a new VM just for the build and start the docker container inside it, making sure that nobody can ramble around :)

I've been using Buddy Build and I really enjoy their environment. How does this compare to that?

Good question!

The main differentiator might be that our platform is more open compared to Buddybuild's enclosed ecosystem approach. That means we allow much more customizability while having the same, fast initial project setup. Bitrise grows with the community, both by helping each other and developing extensions, like new steps/integrations and other tools.

We feel that Buddybuild is great for smaller projects, but Bitrise can provide more for more complex apps with more rigorous development cycles and needs, which is the feedback we get back from these type of companies as well.

We also have Xamarin support, which may or may not be interesting for you.

Hey! Really cool product. Is this compatible with cordova/phonegap build apps?

Yes! :)

We have ionic & cordova preinstalled on the VMs ( https://discuss.bitrise.io/t/can-i-use-bitrise-to-automatica... ) and you can find some best tricks here: https://discuss.bitrise.io/t/best-practise-for-cordova-apps-...

And a blog post form on of our users: http://vgaidarji.me/blog/2016/02/27/how-to-build-cordova-bas...

We are also preparing the next additions for the scanner ( automatic project detection ) that will include cordova & ionic as well :)

I just wanted to extend congratulations from the team at buddybuild!

It's awesome to see the mobile developer tools ecosystem as a whole expanding.

It wasn't too long ago that mobile teams had to use web CI products, awkwardly repurposed to build & deploy their iOS and Android apps - imposing on them a huge maintenance burden and slowing down the development of their apps.

Great tools help build great products, and the future for mobile development tools is very bright today.
