This session shows you the way to delivery your app to Apple Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).

1. Update name/icon, Bundle ID

In order to release the app, you need to change your own App name, icon and Bundle ID. Please check following guide to know how to change it.

1.1 Change the app name:

IOS app:

  • Open ios/Runner/Info.plist and replace the FluxNews with your App Name.
<key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
	<string>Fluxnews</string>

  • Make sure to clean up the cache by running the following script to clean the previous cache.

    flutter clean
flutter build ios

It's possible to change via XCode - https://tppr.me/Mfu5F. The Facebook app name and App ID could be changed from this file as well.

Android app:

  • Open android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml and replace Fluxnews with your app name:

    <string name="app_name">FluxNews</string>

  • Open android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and replace Fluxnews with your app name:

    <application android:label="Fluxnews"

1.2 Change the app Bundle ID:

Android app: Search on android folder and replace the following file - https://tppr.me/bWCvp

  • android/app/build.gradle
  • android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
  • android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/inspireui/fluxnews/MainActivity.kt

  • Rename the Android folder Path:

    • Fluxnews app: android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/inspireui/fluxnews to your own bundle Path, example: if you bunndle id is com.ins.flux, it will be android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/ins/flux
  • Please note that the file android/app/google-services.json should be download again from Firebase to match your new bundle id. Otherwise the app will crash.
