I Develop a flutter application, I am a Windows user. I don't have a MacBook, so is there any way to publish the flutter app on the app store using windows?
You can't build or publish iOS from Windows or any other system except MacOS. If you have no mac take a look at cloud services that can dedicate one to you (e.g. MacStadium). CI/CD services like CodeMagic, AppCenter is an option too, it is more suitable for small or pet projects when you don't need to build iOS often.

I am developing a simple flutter application for my manufacturing facility, where we want to input the stock ids of the raw materials which were used to develop the product. I made a simple Flutter Application with Windows and macOS and Android & IOS enabled while initiating the project in Android Studio. I am using Mysql1 dependency from pub dev to avoid writing large amounts of backend and use other frameworks.
Furthermore, I also added internet permission for the app in the Androids folder. However, when I was trying to do it on the windows app, the MySQL query would not go through. The MySql server is hosted on Digital Ocean. I entered the exact details,
But works on the android phone and not on windows applications. Do we need to add any same permission line in the Windows Folder?
I installed the application on my physical, it is perfectly sending the data to the MySQL table in the DigitalOcean server. However, doesn't seem to do the same in the windows application. I want it to run the query the same as in the windows desktop app as in the android app.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks and Regards.
I don't have a Mac and an iPhone. How can I make applications using my windows laptop for coding and without an iPhone for trying to run/debug the app? What are the best steps for me??
Notes: I have made several applications for android and web using flutter.
Thanks...
You can start by creating a Flutter project on your Windows laptop. Also, the iPhone is not required in Flutter, so you can code in your Windows laptop without needing an iPhone(Build iOS apps with Xcode, which only runs on macOS) to try to run/debug the app.
You cannot build a flutter iOS app directly from Windows. What you can do is use external tools to do it. One of these tools is Appollo (https://github.com/Appollo-CLI/Appollo). It's a python CLI tool that let you access remote MacOS build machines.
Here is a demo of how to create the IPA on windows : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX3DAMwlEfM&t=11s
It's pretty easy to use :
First install it
pip install appollo
Then setup your Apple Developer account with Appollo : https://appollo.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorial/2_configure_app_store_connect.html
Finally you can build the app and retrieve the IPA
appollo build start --build-type ad-hoc
appollo build ipa
And that's it.
So, I'm thinking of creating a CLI application that could also be used with UI, developed in Flutter.
The idea is that there would be 3 different packages, one for the business logic, one for the CLI and one for the Flutter app. Is there a way to import the Flutter app as a dependency in my CLI package, so I could open the Flutter app from the CLI? If so, how would I do it?
Seems like you want to use 1 library containing the business logic for 2 different applications: Desktop CLI app and mobile app (android/iOS).
It's very much possible with flutter. By default flutter installs only the android and iOS platform supports but by changing few configurations in installed flutter SDK we can extend the same setup to Web and Desktop apps (Windows, MacOS or linux) as well.
Check this official doc for enabling desktop support
Check this official doc for enabling Web support
You can enable these settings in your existing application only.
This is my very first flutter project. I do not have Mac pc/desktop . Sources from web instructs to approach rental methods. I cannot afford those techniques. I have to add IOS app using android studio or Vs Code. Help me out please
It's not possible add iOS to flutter without install xcode in your machine, so you need run project with mac OS
But for learning purpose you can install mac os on VMware and develop on it, but for publish app on itune store you need export binary from physical mac computer.
I have an ionic app build on my system.
For now, I have been testing my app using Ionic DevAPP (which can be found on the App Store and Google Play).
Prerequisite to run an app on my mobile device using Ionic DevApp is, My app needs to be up and running using the command:
ionic serve
This option looks great when doing development.
But now, I have my app build and I want to share it with the testing team and PO who is located on shore.
I want to know is there any way or free platform where the users can run an app on their mobile devices directly without starting a dev server.
NOTES:
I know about Ionic dashboard, but it is not free when comes to sharing builds.
I don't want to upload my app on Play Store or Google Play.
Any help is recommended as I am really looking for options to share my app.
I use Diawi To share both apk and ipa, bypassing play/app stores.
