In this chapter, you’ll learn how to use Xcode and TestFlight to distribute your Flutter app’s iOS version.
Unlike with Android, apps can’t be sideloaded onto iOS devices. To distribute your app to users and testers, you have to go through App Store Connect, Apple’s developer portal for the App Store. TestFlight allows you to send apps to testers and gather feedback from both your internal team and the outside world.
For this chapter, you’ll need to use a Mac with Xcode installed. You’ll also need a valid Apple Developer Program account to access the App Store.
If you’re following along with your app, open it and keep using it with this chapter. If not, locate the projects folder for this chapter and open the starter folder.
Note: If you use the starter app add your apiKey in lib/network/spoonacular_service.dart because your app needs to work correctly to submit it to the store.
Run flutter pub get and then run your app on an iOS simulator to set up the necessary files in the iOS folder.
Creating the Signing
It’s time to leave Android Studio (or VS Code) and move over to Xcode. Open starter/ios/Runner.xcworkspace. This workspace includes the main app projects and the CocoaPods dependencies you need to build the app. It’s the same workspace you used when adding your iOS app icons a couple of chapters ago.
In the Project navigator, check if there’s a folder arrow next to Pods and has a blue icon next to it as shown below.
If not, close the Xcode project, return to Android Studio and run your app on an iOS simulator. This will pull all the required files. When you’re done, re-open starter/ios/Runner.xcworkspace.
Select Runner in the Project navigator to open the project editor. Select the Runner target and open the General tab.
For app submission, it’s important to check the Bundle Identifier. This has to be unique for your app.
If you want to follow along with this tutorial to test out the process — that is, not submit — you still have to change the existing value. Try using a random unique string if you are out of ideas.
Next you’ll learn about joining the Apple Developer Program. If you already have a valid Apple Developer Program account, move on to the following section: Creating an App Identifier.
Creating an Apple Developer Program Account
If you want to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, open https://developer.apple.com/account and sign in with your Apple ID. If you see a page prompting you to join the Apple Developer Program, you need to click the link and follow the instructions to enroll.

Creating an App Identifier
In the developer portal, you’ll tell Apple about your app.

Setting the Team
In Xcode, click the Signing & Capabilities tab. This will allow you to select a team. Select your developer team in the drop-down. If you aren’t signed in through Xcode, choose Add an Account… to sign in.

Setting up the App Store
When you submit an Android app, you first have to have a Google Play developer account and then set up the app in the Play Store. For iOS (and macOS) apps, you need to follow the same procedure for Apple.

Creating a New App
Before you can upload and distribute a build, you first have to create a record for the app by adding some basic information.

Uploading to the App Store
On Android, you made an appbundle to distribute to the Play Store. iOS has a parallel concept. You’ll need to build an archive to upload to the App Store. You can do this from either Xcode or the command line. For this chapter, you’ll use Xcode.
