This setup runs one workflow for each platform in one pipeline, following the rules in Mobile jobs.

Agent prompt

Add a Bitrise pipeline that runs this project's e2e tests on iOS and Android. Docs: https://e2e.tester.army/docs/ci/bitrise.md and https://e2e.tester.army/docs/ci.md

  1. Read both pages.
  2. Add the workflows to bitrise.yml. Adapt the project paths, scheme, stacks, and Node version to this project.
  3. Ask me to add the model key under Secrets in the Bitrise workflow editor.
  4. After I start a build, read the build log and fix errors until both workflows pass.

Workflow

Bitrise steps boot the devices: xcode-start-simulator on macOS, and avd-manager with wait-for-android-emulator on Linux. The Android workflow starts the emulator before the Gradle build, so it boots while the APK compiles. A release APK must be signed; the React Native and Expo templates sign it with the debug keystore.

​
Artifacts and test reports

deploy-to-bitrise-io uploads only the top level of $BITRISE_DEPLOY_DIR, so each workflow zips .e2e/ into that directory. custom-test-results-export sends junit.xml to the Test Reports tab. These steps also run after a step fails.

​
Model key

Add the model key under Secrets in the app’s workflow editor. A pull request build gets it only when Expose for Pull Requests is on, and a public app’s build never does. Without the key, deterministic tests still run, but agent judgments and unrecorded agent.act steps fail. See Model credentials.

Hosted devices

Lease devices from a service. Then the runner boots no device.
