Ranking CI/CD platforms for React Native applications can be subjective and depend on specific use cases, team requirements, and personal preferences.

However, based on general features, ease of use, and community feedback, here’s a sorted list from the least recommended to the most recommended:

5. Jenkins

Pros:

  • Highly customizable with extensive plugin support.
  • Suitable for complex build environments.
  • Strong community support.

Cons:

  • Steeper learning curve compared to other platforms.
  • Requires more manual setup and maintenance.
  • Not mobile-first, so it might need additional configuration for React Native.

While Jenkins is powerful and flexible, it can be more challenging to set up and maintain, especially for teams focused solely on mobile app development.

4. Fastlane

Pros:

  • Excellent for automating repetitive tasks in mobile app development.
  • Strong integration with iOS and Android build tools.
  • Customizable lanes for different deployment scenarios.
