Bitbucket Pipelines doesn't offer Mac machines so we chose something Flutter-specific to not have to worry about Flutter setup in CI. The good pre-configuration of the build machines as well as publishing tools saved us a lot of time in setting up the CI. Pros Good integration with Bitbucket, easy to use UI to set up CI jobs. Mac machines with everything preinstalled to do Flutter testing, build and releases. Allows auto-cancelling of previous builds if new commits are pushed. Especially App Store Connect helpers were very welcome since we didn't have much experience with publishing iOS apps. Newer Yaml configuration option also works well and can of course be versioned with the rest of the app. Cons Lately webhook events are sometimes processed out of order when you have multiple coming in (for example you push to a branch with an open PR, which triggers a hook for both the push and the P{R update). That can lead to the wrong builds being auto-cancelled and a bit of confusion as to whats happening. Sometime issues with retrieving build logs. Dark mode could use more contrast. Linux machines still lack cache support. All in all only minor issues though. Alternatives considered [Bitbucket](https://www.capterra.com/p/233341/Bitbucket/) Reason for choosing Codemagic We're using Bitbucket for our repos but it's CI services does not support Mac machines so we needed something that did. Codemagic did also also offered a lot of other convenience features. Review Source Enes C. DevOps Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Unity CI/CD" June 1, 2022 5.0 We have faster build times. It is more secure than Jenkins. Very easy to setup for developers and other team members. Pros We were having a hard time building our games on Jenkins and codemagic came to the rescue. We can take concurrent builds at the same time for iOS, since it's a SaaS we don't have to manage the platform. It's very easy to use and set up. Pretty cheap when you compare it with the other platforms. Cons You can store your codemagic.yaml file on the website so you always have to have it on your repository. Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/)[Bitrise](https://www.capterra.com/p/178004/Bitrise/) Reason for choosing Codemagic It's cheaper and Unity is pre-installed on the codemagic.

I was able to connect my private GitHub repository, configure my Flutter project, set up Android and iOS signing, and start a release build very quickly. The platform saves a huge amount of time compared with managing separate build environments manually. The UI is also very polished and makes the whole process feel professional. Definitely one of the best tools I have used for Flutter CI/CD. Pros Codemagic makes building Flutter apps for both iOS and Android incredibly simple. The interface is clean, the workflow editor is easy to understand, and setting up code signing and building IPA and AAB files is much faster than doing everything manually. I especially like being able to build both platforms from one place using a Mac build machine. Cons Some of the advanced settings can be a little confusing the first time, especially options such as Shorebird, code signing, and distribution. A few more beginner-friendly explanations directly inside the workflow editor would make the setup even easier.

Codemagic gives default installations of jq like tools which help us to save time in installing it every time plus cache service for add more option in default tools. Pros The service of auto code signing and build triggers upon the commits with conditional triggers Cons IOs code signing and slack support. the codemagic have very poor documentation for code signing they should given more example and help in code signing process . like i use gaming laptop i dont have ios and now i need ios app ipa file not to upload on appstore but for me to check max size before deliver. i should not need developer account for this . i can do it with xcode and so i can do it with mac cli rather then doing changes every time i can automate it but no help for that while there is appcircle ci/cd which provide their code.

Also, 1st class Flutter projects support is something I was looking for. Cons There is no way to easily do a feature request or contact support, since Codemagic pushes users to their Slack community instead of giving a chance to just contact the right person. Also, after using Bitrise for quite some time it feels like Codemagic misses some additional predefined steps for configuration.

Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A truly wonderful, modern CI" July 9, 2021 5.0 Pros The first thing that struck me about Codemagic is that it looks and feels like a modern tool. Many of the competing softwares in the space have a terrible user experience, which makes you immediately shiver when you first open them. Codemagic is quite the opposite. The user interface is clean and the platform is very configurable considering. I've found builds to be fairly quick and the platform stable. They do a great job of rolling out updates consistently. Cons While the interface is great, I think there could be some improvement in terms of how projects are laid out. Overall, very minor.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior iOS Engineer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Competent platform for iOS" July 1, 2021 5.0 Pros We had an ready transition from our last tool. In the past, changing platforms has been an ordeal. Cons Many features are Flutter centric. Sometimes the docs aren't clear that something is specifically for flutter builds, and other platforms feel second class. Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/) Reason for choosing Codemagic We had trouble getting successful builds from circle. Review Source David G. CTO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best CI for Flutter" July 1, 2021 5.0 Excellent. Not only from a tech, value proposition point of view, but only from a customer service. The slack channel the use for that is an excellent idea. Pros It's a CI specific for flutter ecosystem, so you have every option you need for that platform and stack, and no option you don't need. Cons The (extremely rare) ocasional instability of a company starting up. Nothing to worry about. Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/) Reason for choosing Codemagic It's specific for flutter, unlike the other options we checked in the market. Switched from [Semaphore](https://www.capterra.com/p/171934/Semaphore/) Not mobile / flutter specific Review Source Ryan E. Sr. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great CI/CD tool" July 30, 2021 4.0 Overall, there is no better combination of price and developer experience. Tools like GitHub Actions are powerful but require more configuration and are probably better suited for larger teams. Pros Ease of use - essentially low maintenance once it is set up. Developer experience Great customer support Competitive pricing Cons Currently no static analysis or support for code coverage. Reporting on failed tests could also be better. In the past I have had issues with Apple Dev Console authentication. Mac Mini instances can also be slow at times.

Other solutions may be more performant and cheaper, but they severely lack in terms of developer experience. Review Source IS Ignacio S. Real Estate Agent Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast app development and cloud testing for real estate." October 18, 2025 4.0 Codemagic assisted me in rapidly developing and testing applications for client access and listing control, streamlining coding so my agency could speed up the release of new services. Pros I love Codemagic's simple build and development tools that make it easy to automate tests and provide stable property apps with fast cloud service integration and rapid deployments. Cons It took additional effort to understand some complex test management tasks, and intermittent bugs or service downtime interrupted our development during property database updates. Review Source DA Daniel A. Application Developer - Senior II Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Codemagic is truly Magic" June 30, 2021 5.0 We had a CI/CD solution setup for a new Flutter app in less than a week which has enabled us to build an entire app within 5 months from start to finish and achieve a tight feedback loop with testers and stakeholders. The customer support quality and responsiveness is unparalleled. Pros The ability to get a Flutter app built and deployed is so simple and streamlined that even non-developers can define their own workflows to suit their needs. Cons The UI can be a little difficult to navigate at times and find certain features.

Pros The ease of building and sending my app to the official and test stores. Cons I can't understand why are you charging for seats. Is it not only the build minutes that matter? What's the point of charge for another seat? For me it's only an inconvenience. Reason for choosing Codemagic The flutter-first support. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Team Leader Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Codemagic is great for Flutter" June 29, 2021 5.0 Pros \- easy setup and use - regular new features (webhooks monitor, .yaml editor, Linux machines, etc.) - support Cons \- missing the possibility to post release\_notes with iOS builds - missing the possibility to add additional info to the release\_notes message (e.g. integration testing results to the Slack message) - ugly build logs are on a black background (by design) Review Source BL Bohdan L. Flutter developer Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Almost perfect" June 29, 2021 4.0 Codemagic works as part of development pipeline, works almost on all steps of development. Pros \* Easy to set up \* Almost full documentation \* Static analyzer works is great \* Deployment feature is great Cons \* Setup of environment some time crash wich broken pipeline \* Runned test not always match with local machine \* Some issue with IOS distributions Reason for choosing Codemagic Mostly because its support flutter instead of other products Review Source IL Ivan L. CEO Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Powerful CI/CD tool, beats the competition - but customer service is amazing" July 1, 2021 5.0 Once we started to get set up, Codemagic offered us a free 45 minute online 1-on-1 with a tech expert to review and advise on our configuration, and offered to come back for more if we needed it. This is customer service excellence - love the product, love the support - TY Pros It was a lot easier to set up our flows using codemagic compared to the jenkins options we had been considering Cons More targets please - and better integration with both sides of the android / google publications environments, firebase and the google store Review Source Response from Nevercode August 3, 2021 Kuddos on your kind words! This means a lot to our team. We just made it even much cooler by adding Firebase app distribution which should make the publishing quite easy. Please find the docs here: https://docs.codemagic.io/publishing-yaml/distribution/#publishing-an-app-to-firebase-app-distribution Happy building with Codemagic! DG Douglas G. Developer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Codemagic - it's really magic" July 6, 2021 5.0 Really very good, magic way to publish apps in stores. Pros it's very easy to publish apps in an automated way, both for new apps and for updating apps that already exist. Cons the system sometimes charges per user and not just minutes. Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/)[AWS CloudFormation](https://www.capterra.com/p/205397/CloudFormation/) Reason for choosing Codemagic Is the best. Review Source Response from Nevercode August 3, 2021 Thank you! Codemagic does not charge for a seat in the team but for every user that triggers builds. The number of active users is reset at the beginning of every month. Happy building! DG Dmitry G. Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for ionic builds" July 8, 2016 5.0 I tried to setup CI for ionic builds on Jenkins and it was a disaster. Android builds are possible but iOS builds is a complete magic, there are only few providers of Macs on cloud, the process is very unclear. Apple is notoriously known for making devs lives over complicated even with Apple tools, not to mention Jenkins and other third-party products. NeverCode was just what I was looking for, a CI cloud based platform to build ionic apps on android and ios. And they keep their promise: you need only few clicks for a simple app. In my case I had to put much more into it, mostly due to the mess in packages.json and other config files. That was the tech debt you should pay before good CI automation anyway. Comparing to Travis Nevercode pricing is very reasonable (not to mention that you barely can build ionic on Travis). Pros \* Cloud based -- no need to maintain servers \* Specific, knows about ionic / cordova -- only few settings to get things up and running \* Great customer support -- fast and professional, it feels they are on early stage when devs handle support requests and closely watch for issues \* Easy to learn and use \* Good documentation -- easy to read and understand Cons It feels that product is pretty new and many things are missing. Obviously they will be added \* The documentation is too brief sometimes. Apple certs are crazy so Nevercode could elaborate more on how to use them \* No direct support for Google Play publishing, though you can plug a hook and do it easily \* No automation to increase build numbers though it is pretty trivial to do on your own, just be aware you need to write some scripts here \* Lack of security consideration. You shall give permissions to all your repos on github, not to a particular one. No 2FA if register with login/password. No protection for signing certs. (On Travis you cannot really access encrypted keys directly) \* No way to cache node\_modules and folders alike between the builds Review Source MR Mitch R. CTO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Would recommend and actually have multiple times" July 6, 2021 5.0 Automation, automation, automation. Pros As a developer, I'm very lazy and had build pipelines for web and API configured and happily working but building and releasing the Flutter app was always a pain, thanks to the joys of XCode. Codemagic allowed me to avoid opening XCode at least 90% of the time... There are loads of clever features but the main thing is having a triggerable and consistent build pipeline for Flutter. Cons Really didn't have any issues with Codemagic. Would love it if it could check if the build number clashes with the latest deployed build number to the App Stores to avoid wasting time building, just to have Apple decline the upload, but that's more of a feature request than a con. Reason for choosing Codemagic Not capable of building Flutter (or too complicated to be worth while) Review Source Response from Nevercode August 3, 2021 We have calculated that automating your CI/CD pipeline will save you around 20% of dev time! MV Mario V. IT Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love codemagic" June 29, 2021 5.0 This help is to make fast deploys and allow us to develop without care of compilation time Pros Is very simple to implement and have a amazing api to make the deploys Cons I want to share when a build failed with another non registered users Review Source SK Steven K. Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good bang-for-the-buck for Ionic Capacitor Apps" August 17, 2021 5.0 End of the day, very pleased with Codemagic. While the setup effort is non-trivial for Capacitor, it is worth the effort and a far more cost-effective option vs. alternatives. Pros Codemagic was one of the few cloud-based CI/CD solutions that supported the Ionic Capacitor build flow for iOS & Android apps. Once setup & validated, it is extremely easy to use for day-to-day builds. It is also quite cost-effective for small-time developers - amazing amount of functionality at the free tier. Cons Setup for Capacitor is not easy. There are some helpful blogs, but it was still a significant challenge to get things up & running the first time. It would be very helpful to have a 'canned' Capacitor flow that worked out of the box to hit the ground running. Reason for choosing Codemagic Appflow is very easy to use (setup much easier than Codemagic) but is too expensive for small-time developers. Review Source GP Greg P. iOS Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Codemagic as any other CI alternative" July 28, 2022 5.0 9/10 Pros Codemagic is easy to use. Documentation is well written and easy to understand. Integration with our existing infrastructure was smooth and quick. Cons Some minor issues, like when I connect new repository into codemagic it was not fetching codemagic.yaml and I needed to refresh and try to add it again. Reason for choosing Codemagic Good price for very well performance. Nice and friendly communication. Easy to integrate Review Source ML Michela L. System Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Codemagic review" June 30, 2021 5.0 for me who use the free version even with the session time limit I can still classify as one of the best production environment tools Pros it is absolutely essential for the cross-platform developer. With.o codemagic it is possible to validate and test the system without the need to create multiple virtual machines and spend time configuring environments. Cons I still find it a bit expensive, especially considering that many developers are "one-man companies", there should be a fixed weekly price for example. That it would be possible to hire the service for a week without deducting minutes.

Pros Now I can git push and forget about manually doing lots of steps each time I want to deploy an update. Cons Automatic creation of a new version draft on iTunes Connect Review Source IB Inshan B. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Build iOS Apps without a Mac" August 9, 2021 5.0 Pros I love codemagic because I can deploy iOS applications without an apple device. I can also remote into the virtual mac machine and make changes within xcode. I can leave the app to build and go about my business and be notified via email if it succeeds or fails. Cons I love that I dont need a macbook to create iOS applications on Review Source DS Debkanchan S. Founder Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "As simple as CI/CD could get" July 26, 2021 5.0 Pros We started with no idea about CI/CD at all. In 2 days we managed to set up a holistic CI/CD pipeline without writings a single line of yaml. Codemagic docs is all I needed to get started. Cons Currently we do not have any complaints with codemagic Reason for choosing Codemagic Simplicity Review Source Response from Nevercode August 2, 2021 Thank you for your support! That's amazing you were able to set up the whole pipeline that fast. The seamless setup is one of our top priorities. Happy building!
