Remote builds run your app build on Revyl’s cloud infrastructure. Use them for Expo, React Native, native iOS, and native Android projects when you want Revyl to produce the app binary for you.
Remote builds are in early access. Reach out to the Revyl team before using this feature so we can enable it for your workspace.
Builds run on large runners with 12 CPUs and 24 GB RAM. You give Revyl the same commands you would run locally or in CI, and Revyl stores the finished build on your app so you can launch devices and run tests against it.

​
What you can use them for

  • Cloud builds for agents. A local agent or cloud agent can change code, run a build, and get a real app artifact back without needing your machine.
  • Fast CI. Trigger iOS or Android builds from lightweight CI jobs instead of maintaining mobile runners yourself.
  • PR previews. Build and test pull requests automatically, with Revyl posting status back to GitHub.
  • One place for builds and tests. The finished build is already in Revyl, so the next step is launching a device or running a test.

​
FAQ

​
What do I configure?

Your .revyl/config.yaml defines customer-named profiles. Each profile owns an iOS and/or Android recipe with its Revyl app, ordered commands, and output artifact. revyl build --profile <name> --platform ios|android --remote selects one recipe; no profile is stored as active or default.

​
What does Revyl build?

For iOS, produce a simulator .app or an archive that contains one. For Android, produce an installable .apk.

​
Requirements

  • Revyl CLI installed and authenticated
  • An app in Revyl to receive the builds (revyl app create or the Apps page)
  • A runnable profile/platform recipe in .revyl/config.yaml (the quickstart walks through this)
Remote builds are metered by build minutes. If your plan doesn’t include build credits, triggering a build returns a billing error. Upgrade your plan or contact [email protected].
