Native Builds supports building both iOS and Android apps. For iOS, we support Simulator, Development, Ad Hoc, App Store, and Enterprise builds. For Android, we support Debug, Release, and custom build types.
Build times vary depending on your project size and complexity. On average, Android builds take approximately 2 minutes and 50 seconds, while iOS builds complete in around 2 minutes and 35 seconds. We continuously optimize our infrastructure to provide fast and reliable build times.
No, we do not permanently store your source code on our servers. Your repository is only cloned at build time into a temporary, isolated virtual machine. Once the build job is finished, the VM and all its contents are immediately destroyed. This works the exact same way as any other CI/CD platform like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins. Additionally, no person ever has access to those files at build time—the build process is fully automated and isolated.
Yes! Native Builds supports custom build configurations through your project's existing Gradle and Xcode files. You can also use environment variables to customize build behavior.
All signing certificates and secrets are encrypted at rest and in transit. They're stored in isolated, secure storage and are never exposed in build logs or accessible to other customers.
Yes, we offer unlimited build minutes with our custom and enterprise plans. Visit our Pricing page to learn more and request a plan that fits your needs.
