react-native: what automation CI tool is the best?
<p><strong>React native community: What CI tool do you use?</strong> </p>

<p>Our team has built a react-native ios app.  We also have a separate test team that created an appium test suite to run against the app.  The test suite can be run locally, but we are ready to setup a CI flow to build our app, run the appium tests against it, and eventually fill out this flow with deployment, code coverage, etc.  </p>

<p>We have invested some time in attempting to get a build pipeline working within CircleCI to generate a build and then pipe the artifact to the appium project, with limited success. We reached out to CircleCI support and they have indicated that they do not officially support react-native at this time. </p>

<p><strong>We are now exploring other CI options and are interested to see what others in the community are already using successfully.</strong>  </p>

<p>Some research has lead us to several possiblities.  Related research:</p>
