an IPA of your app and an ExportOptions.plist file.
|
you can create new IPAs with the same options without launching
|
xcode by running
|
flutter build ipa --export-options-plist=path/to/exportoptions.plist.
|
see xcodebuild -h for details about the keys in this property list.
|
you can follow the status of your build in the
|
activities tab of your app’s details page on
|
app store connect.
|
you should receive an email within 30 minutes notifying you that
|
your build has been validated and is available to release to testers
|
on TestFlight. at this point you can choose whether to release
|
on TestFlight, or go ahead and release your app to the app store.

|
create a build archive with codemagic CLI tools
|
this step covers creating a build archive and uploading
|
your build to app store connect using flutter build commands
|
and codemagic CLI tools executed in a terminal
|
in the flutter project directory. this allows you to create a build archive
|
with full control of distribution certificates in a temporary keychain
|
isolated from your login keychain.
|
install the codemagic CLI tools:
|
you’ll need to generate an app store connect API key
|
with app manager access to automate operations with app store connect. to make
|
subsequent commands more concise, set the following environment variables from
|
the new key: issuer id, key id, and API key file.
|
you need to export or create an iOS distribution certificate to code sign and package a build archive.
|
if you have existing certificates, you can export the
|
private keys by executing the following command for each certificate:
|
or you can create a new private key by executing the following command:
|
later, you can have CLI tools automatically create a new iOS distribution from the private key.
|
set up a new temporary keychain to be used for code signing:
|
restore login keychain!
|
after running keychain initialize you must run the following:
|
keychain use-login
|
this sets your login keychain as the default to avoid potential
|
authentication issues with apps on your machine.
|
fetch the code signing files from app store connect:
|
where cert_key is either your exported iOS distribution certificate private key
|
or a new private key which automatically generates a new certificate. the certificate
|
will be created from the private key if it doesn’t exist in app store connect.
|
now add the fetched certificates to your keychain:
|
update the xcode project settings to use fetched code signing profiles:
|
install flutter dependencies:
|
install CocoaPods dependencies:
|
build the flutter the iOS project:
|
note that export_options.plist is the output of the xcode-project use-profiles command.
|
publish the app to app store connect:
|
as mentioned earlier, don’t forget to set your login keychain
|
as the default to avoid authentication issues
|
with apps on your machine:
|
you should receive an email within 30 minutes notifying you that
|
your build has been validated and is available to release to testers
|
on TestFlight. at this point you can choose whether to release
|
on TestFlight, or go ahead and release your app to the app store.

TestFlight allows developers to push their apps
|
to internal and external testers. this optional step
