How I ship Flutter apps to the App Store & Play Store
A practical release checklist from architecture to TestFlight and Play Console — based on 7+ years of live store apps.
Shipping a Flutter app is not only UI work. Store-ready products need stable navigation, API error states, release notes, and a repeatable build pipeline for iOS and Android.
My usual path: lock the architecture early (routing, state, networking), build core flows with real API contracts, then run device QA on both platforms before opening TestFlight and Play internal testing.
For public health and consumer apps like START, release discipline matters as much as features — synchronized store versions, calm UX, and clear handoff notes for product partners.
If you need a senior Flutter engineer to take a build from MVP to live stores, I offer feature sprints and MVP packages with clear pricing.
