Flutter CI/CD Pipeline

Overview

This repository contains a robust Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for Flutter applications using GitHub Actions. The pipeline automates code analysis, testing, and builds for Android platforms.

Workflow Features

Automated Triggers

The pipeline automatically runs on:

• Every push to the main branch
• Every pull request to the main branch
• Manual trigger via GitHub Actions UI

CI/CD Pipeline Steps

Code Analysis and Testing

• Runs on Ubuntu 22.04
• Checks out the repository code
• Sets up Flutter 3.27.4 (supporting Dart 3.6.1)
• Verifies Dart version
• Installs dependencies with flutter pub get
• Performs static code analysis with flutter analyze

Android Build Pipeline

• Runs after successful code analysis
• Sets up Flutter 3.27.4
• Configures Java 17 using Temurin distribution
• Builds Android App Bundle (AAB) for release
• Implements security best practices by removing signing files after build

Benefits

• Quality Assurance: Automatically checks code quality and prevents integration of problematic code
• Time Efficiency: Eliminates manual build processes
• Consistency: Ensures builds are performed in a consistent environment
• Early Issue Detection: Identifies problems early in the development cycle
• Streamlined Releases: Simplifies the release process for Android

Technical Requirements

• Flutter 3.27.4
• Dart 3.6.1
• Java 17 (Temurin distribution)
• GitHub repository with Actions enabled

Future Enhancements

• iOS build pipeline integration
• Automated testing with coverage reports
• Deployment to app stores
• Version management
• Slack/Teams notifications
• Code quality metrics reporting
