The easy way to setup, build & release flutter apps for iOS on Linux, Windows and MacOS

Appollo is a tool to help developers setup and release their Flutter apps on iOS. Thanks for checking it out.

A tool for developers by developers

Installation

Appollo is a CLI utility developed in Python. It is easily installed with pip.

pip install appollo

Usage

To start using Appollo simply run appollo in your console.

Start by creating an account

appollo signup

Your Appollo account is now created and you can either start a build machine in configuration mode : to configure XCode or test your app in the iOS simulator.

appollo build start --build-type configuration

Or you can build an IPA or release your app by linking your Apple Developer Account to Appollo and creating an app identifier

appollo apple add --apple-id APPLE_TEAM_ID --name TEXT --key-id APPLE_KEY_ID --issuer-id APPLE_ISSUER_ID --private-key LOCATION_APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY
appollo app mk --name MY_APP_NAME --bundle-id COM.COMPANY.APP_NAME

To create the IPA to install on a physical device for testing purposes

appollo build start --build-type ad-hoc
appollo build ipa

To publish directly to the App Store

appollo build start --build-type publication

Your build failed ? No worries, you can check the logs with

appollo build logs

About

Our mission is to reduce the time it takes to setup, build and release Flutter apps on iOS to the bare minimum.

The tool allows developers working alone or in teams and on multiple OS (Linux, Windows, MacOS) to build and publish their apps easily to the app store.

What can Appollo be used for ?

1. It allows you to setup the XCode project on a remote MacOS machine if you do not own one.

2. It manages common iOS specific settings for your team : certificates, devices, provisioning profiles, bundle IDs, Xcode configuration files, …

3. It builds your Flutter app on remote iOS machines.

4. It hosts the iOS app artifacts or publish them to the App Store.
