Automating Flutter Releases with GitHub Actions

Turning the stressful release-day ritual into a calm, repeatable pipeline that ships signed builds to both stores.

From heroics to habit

Manual releases are error-prone. A pipeline makes shipping boring — which is exactly what you want.

The pipeline

  1. Run analysis and tests on every push.
  2. Build signed Android and iOS artifacts.
  3. Upload to Play Console and App Store Connect with Fastlane.

Lessons learned

Keep secrets in encrypted CI secrets, cache the pub and Gradle directories to keep builds fast, and gate releases behind a manual approval so a green pipeline never surprises you.
