Develop, Deploy and Test Flutter Apps

Introduction

Flutter is Google’s mobile app SDK for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.

What does Flutter do? Can you build iOS apps using Flutter?

For users, Flutter makes beautiful app UIs come to life. For developers, Flutter lowers the bar to entry for building mobile apps. It speeds up the development of mobile apps and reduces the cost and complexity of app production across iOS and Android. For designers, Flutter helps deliver the original design vision, without loss of fidelity or compromises. It also acts as a productive prototyping tool.

System requirements

To install and run Flutter, your development environment must meet these minimum requirements:

- Operating Systems: macOS (64-bit)
- Disk Space: 700 MB (does not include disk space for IDE/tools).
- Tools: Flutter depends on these command-line tools being available in your environment.

This command checks your environment and displays a report to the terminal window. The Dart SDK is bundled with Flutter; it is not necessary to install Dart separately.

[crayon-69a2c289340b6239873818 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"]<code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge">[/crayon]

Install Xcode

[crayon-69a2c289340ce460929480 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"]<code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge">[/crayon]

To develop Flutter apps for iOS, you need a Mac with Xcode 9.0 or newer:

[crayon-69a2c289340d1696041495 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"]<code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge">[/crayon]

1. Install Xcode 9.0 or newer (via web download or the Mac App Store).
2. Configure the Xcode command-line tools to use the newly-installed version of Xcode by running sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer from the command line.This is the correct path for most cases, when you want to use the latest version of Xcode. If you need to use a different version, specify that path instead.

Make sure the Xcode license agreement is signed by either opening Xcode once and confirming or running [crayon-69a2c289340db811567123 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"]sudo xcodebuild -license from the command line.[/crayon]

With Xcode, you’ll be able to run Flutter apps on an iOS device or on the simulator.

To deploy your Flutter app to a physical iOS device, you’ll need some additional tools and an Apple account. You’ll also need to set up physical device deployment in Xcode.

[crayon-69a2c289340f5731889525 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"]<code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge">[/crayon]

Install homebrew.
Open the terminal and run these commands to install the tools for deploying Flutter apps to iOS devices.

1. Follow the Xcode signing flow to provision your project:
 1. 1. Open the default Xcode workspace in your project by running open ios/Runner.xcworkspace in a terminal window from your Flutter project directory.
2. In Xcode, select the Runner project in the left navigation panel.
3. [crayon-69a2c2893410b189474402 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"][/crayon]
 
 [crayon-69a2c2893410f207551275 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"][/crayon]
4. In the [crayon-69a2c28934112370847922 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"]Runner target settings page, make sure your Development Team is selected under [/crayon]General > Signing > Team [crayon-69a2c28934114268309380 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"]. When you select a team, Xcode creates and downloads a Development Certificate, registers your device with your account, and creates and downloads a provisioning profile (if needed).[/crayon]
 - - To start your first iOS development project, you may need to sign into Xcode with your Apple ID.
 
 Development and testing is supported for any Apple ID. Enrolling in the Apple Developer Program is required to distribute your app to the App Store. View the differences between Apple membership types.
 - The first time you use an attached physical device for iOS development, you will need to trust both your Mac and the Development Certificate on that device. Select [crayon-69a2c28934117895312226 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"]Trust in the dialog prompt when first connecting the iOS device to your Mac. <img src="https://flutter.io/images/setup/trust-computer.png" alt="Trust Mac" /> Then, go to the Settings app on the iOS device, select [/crayon]General > Device Management and trust your Certificate.
5. If automatic signing fails in Xcode, verify that the project’s General > Identity > Bundle Identifier value is unique.
6. Start your app by running flutter run.

Download and install Android Studio.
Start Android Studio, and go through the ‘Android Studio Setup Wizard’. This will install the latest Android SDK, Android SDK Platform-Tools, and Android SDK Build-Tools, which are required by Flutter when developing for Android.

[crayon-69a2c28934132813668955 inline="true" class="highlighter-rouge"]<code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge"><code class="highlighter-rouge">[/crayon]

To prepare to run and test the Flutter app on an Android device, you’ll need an Android device running Android 4.1 (API level 16) or higher.

1. Enable Developer options and USB debugging on your device. Detailed instructions are available in the Android documentation.
2. Using a USB cable, plug your phone into your computer. If prompted on your device, authorize your computer to access your device.
3. In the terminal, run the flutter devices command to verify that Flutter recognizes your connected Android device.

By default, Flutter uses the version of the Android SDK where your adb tool is based.

Testing your apps on real devices

In this part, I will guide you how to use Kobiton Cloud to test your apps. A Kobiton account is required to access Kobiton system. If you do not have a Kobiton account yet, go ahead to create a free trial account and sign in. It takes just a few moments.

Uploading Mobile Apps to Kobiton Store for Testing
- Navigate to https://portal.kobiton.com/apps and upload your apps
- The file extension can be .apk, .ipa or .zip
- The file size exceeds 500mb
Launch a manual test with your expected device
- Navigate to https://portal.kobiton.com/devices and launch your device
- Select APPS tab and install your app into the real device
- Do the same thing for iOS devices

Modify your desiredCaps to automate your app with the expected device

You can set your test to reference the application at the Kobiton Storage URL with the app capability, as shown in this example for Java.

<em>DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("app", "kobiton-store:1024"); 
capabilities.setCapability("deviceGroup", "KOBITON"); 
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Galaxy S8+");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "7.0");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
</em>

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

capabilities.setCapability("app", "kobiton-store:1024");

capabilities.setCapability("deviceGroup", "KOBITON");

capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Galaxy S8+");

capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "7.0");

capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");

<em>DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("app", "kobiton-store:1024");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceGroup", "KOBITON");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone 6 Plus");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "10.0.2");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");</em>
