Deploying to App Store (iOS) ​

This guide explains how to publish Ridy apps — Rider, Driver, Admin, or Fleet — to the Apple App Store. All apps share the same Flutter-based codebase and deployment flow.

🍏 Prerequisites ​

  • You must have an Apple Developer Program account
  • Xcode and macOS are required for building and signing
  • Connect each app to your shared Firebase project

🔧 1. Configure App Metadata ​

Each app must have:

  • Unique app name (configured in Xcode and .env)
  • Bundle identifier (reverse domain style, e.g., com.yourcompany.rider)
  • App icon and splash screen

Use:

Run the setup:

bash
flutter pub run flutter_launcher_icons
flutter pub run flutter_native_splash:create

📁 2. Set Up Environments ​

Ensure your .env.prod file is configured properly, then build using:

bash
flutter build ios --release

Use Xcode to open the project after build:

bash
open ios/Runner.xcworkspace

🔐 3. Code Signing & Provisioning ​

  • Set your Team, Bundle ID, and Signing Certificate in Xcode
  • Use automatic provisioning if available
  • Make sure your app has a valid App ID and is associated with a provisioning profile

📦 4. Build and Archive ​

  1. In Xcode, select Product > Archive
  2. Wait for build and archive to finish
  3. In Organizer, click Distribute App
  4. Choose App Store Connect → Upload

🚀 5. Submit via App Store Connect ​

  • Complete app listing, screenshots, and privacy policy
  • Assign your app to the appropriate category
  • Submit for review

👥 Reviewer Credentials ​
