Nativescript Support on bitrise.io

[viktorbenei]

Hi @digitalvibes,

Thanks for creating the Feature Requests!

@digitalvibes

i have recently started using bitrise. A really great tool !

Thank you and Welcome!

@digitalvibes

I can see it already has out of the box support for xamarin (Telerik product). It would be great if we can have nativescript (Again a telerik product) support along the way as well.

So, in short, indeed we don’t have built in support for NativeScript right now, but all that means is that we don’t have a “scanner” which scans a repo and creates a good base config for you automatically.

You can build any kind of project on bitrise, it’s just that if we don’t have the scanners / specific steps then you’ll have to configure it yourself and most likely write a couple of scripts. But that’s all really, you can install and use any tool you want to during the build, e.g. using the Script step.

I am happy to chip in personally by using the existing bitrise API or if necessary creating a sample project like one existing for reactnative

Would be awesome, although I’d suggest you to just write a How To like this one: How to build Ionic 2 apps

P.S.: a quick correction: Xamarin is not a Telerik product, AFAIK Telerik only provides packages for Xamarin, but Xamarin was owned by Xamarin previously, and was recently acquired by Microsoft and is now a Microsoft product.

P.S.2: don’t forget to vote on your/this Feature Requests
