Pre Requisites for adding the app to Bitrise :

  1. Create a new app, Choose “Add New App” button from the top right corner.
  2. Choose account, Choose the privacy of the app to “Private”.

3. Connect repository, Here I am choosing Bitbucket.

Bitrise will build your project and it will show the result on the dashboard, if it fails anywhere due to the lint then you have to fix it first.

I hope you are able to setup your project on Bitrise. Workflow configuration is available in the next part. Thanks.
