About this tutorial #

Every Academy & Exam OS edition includes the Flutter source of the student app. Check the shipped source, connect it to your own website with a validated production profile, sign it with your own upload key and build the Android App Bundle and APK — plus optional Google sign-in, what to know about iOS, and keeping app and website versions matched.

What you will learn #

  • What is included: the Flutter app source for Android and iOS, no licence key, never a purchase channel
  • Toolchain: Flutter 3.44.x with Dart 3.12, the Android API 36 platform and JDK 17 or newer
  • Checking the shipped source with flutter pub get, flutter analyze and flutter test
  • Finding your website’s deployment_id and brand_key at /api/v1/bootstrap
  • Creating the production profile (config/production.local.json) and validating it
  • Application ID, launcher name and icon, and your own upload key (key.properties)
  • The Android release gate, flutter build appbundle and flutter build apk
  • Verifying the app on a device, publishing on Google Play and adding the store link to your website
  • Optional Sign in with Google on Android
  • The iOS project: source-ready, same profile gate, verify on your own Mac before you submit
  • Keeping the app and the website on matching versions
