Learn how to prepare your Flutter app for a real release. You will set up flavors, environments, error tracking, analytics, CI/CD, and store builds. This helps you ship stable apps with less stress.
Why Release Prep Matters
You may have a solid app, but release steps can still surprise you. These problems often slow teams down:
- No analytics: You cannot see what users like or where they drop off.
- Crashes in production: You cannot fix issues fast if you cannot track them.
- Store rejection: A missed rule in App Store or Google Play can block your launch.
- Weak release flow: A slow or manual release process creates stress and mistakes.
- No force update: Old versions may break, but users keep them.
Good setup saves time and reduces release risks. It also keeps your users on safe and stable versions.
What You Will Build
By the end, you will have a clear release plan and working tools. They help you ship updates without guesswork:
- A simple release checklist
- Clear steps for App Store and Google Play
- Automated builds and uploads
- Tools for crash reports, feedback, and quick fixes
Course Overview
Part 1: Prepare for Release
You start with basic setup that all stable apps need:
- Icons and splash screens
- Flavors and environments
- Error tracking and analytics
- Force update methods
- User feedback and in‑app reviews
- A simple landing page for your app
These steps take time, but they prevent many future issues.
Part 2: Release and Automation
Next, you walk through real store submissions. You learn how to build, sign, and upload apps for both platforms:
- Android builds, signing, and Google Play upload
- iOS builds, signing, and App Store Connect upload
Manual uploads work, but they are slow. So you finish this part with automation:
- CI/CD with Codemagic
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Fastlane
These tools help you create repeatable and safe releases.
Part 3: After Release
Once your app is live, you still need to improve it. You learn how to add tools that help you test and ship changes faster:
- Automatic screenshots for store pages
- Code push options
- Feature flags and A/B tests
This course gives you a clear and complete view of production work. You will not need to search through many guides to connect the dots.
