CI for React Native projects

Question

I am looking for CI to my react native projects.

* Is Bamboo is suffice to get it done?
* or any other CI is suggested to be used in case of React Native.

I am new to React Native , though I have used Bamboo for native build without any issue. Any reference to link or info will be appreciated

Certainly, Bamboo might be used to support CI for React Native projects, if your team is using other Atlassian products, but I would advise evaluating pipeline requirements before selecting the platform. The build process for React Native applications requires more than the basic CI features: dependencies installation, build agents for Android and iOS, signing, testing, storing build artifacts, and automatic deployment.

The basic pipeline may include the following actions:

1. Installation of Node and its dependencies
2. Linting and testing
3. Creating Android/iOS artifacts
4. Storing of build results
5. Deployment of the build

While Bamboo provides enough flexibility and allows self-hosting of CI environment, there are other CI/CD approaches that may be used in React Native projects, providing even more flexible configuration of pipelines and faster setup. If your aim is mostly flexibility and hosting CI locally, Bamboo may be considered as an option, but, if the focus is on faster setup and specific features related to mobile development, then you should evaluate other approaches too.

@Deepam Palaniswami , Have you got any success in setting up Bamboo for react native builds. I am also exploring the same. Please share any link which is more useful.
