Quickstart Guide

Get up and running with Flotio in less than 5 minutes. This guide walks you through connecting your repository, setting up your project, and triggering your first release build.

Step 1: Sign up & Log into Flotio

Navigate to the Flotio dashboard and sign in with your credentials or connect your GitHub account.

Step 2: Create a New Project

1. Click on New Project in the sidebar.
2. Select your repository provider (e.g. GitHub or Custom Git URL).
3. Choose your Flutter repository and specify the default branch (e.g. main).
4. Flotio will automatically detect your pubspec.yaml and configure the default Flutter SDK version.

Step 3: Configure Build Targets

In the project settings, specify the platforms you want to compile:

Step 4: Trigger Your First Build

You can trigger a build in two ways:

Method A: Via Web Dashboard

Click the Start Build button in the project overview. Choose your branch and target platform (e.g. Android Release AAB / APK).

Method B: Via Flotio CLI

# Authenticate CLI
flotio login

# Start a build from your local repo directory
flotio run --branch main --platform android

Step 5: Download Artifacts & Deploy

Once the build completes successfully:

• Inspect the real-time step-by-step logs and execution times.
• Download the generated .aab or .apk directly from the Artifacts tab.
• If Google Play publishing is enabled, the release will be submitted directly to your selected track (Internal, Alpha, Beta, Production).
