'flutter iOS&Android deploy from gitlab CI/CD
I have a gitlab flutter repo, and I use CI/CD too (with gitlab runner). The currently state it's building the iOS and android part well, and can download it as artifacts when finished.
But I need to deploy to android/iOS store, without 3rd party 'paid' services. I read many documentation, but everywhere I read, its needed to implement services like codemagic, apprise, bitwise, etc... which has a limited minutes/credits for free, but the services not free if you out of the free minutes/credits.
So can't do it natively somehow? I mean the builded iOS/Android app deploy to the stores from gitlab pipes?
Solution 1:[1]
Google's Publishing API might help you. In your gitlab pipeline you should be able to upload the apk/aab file using these APIs.
Solution 2:[2]
The gitlab pipeline doesn't allow you to deploy to stores. However, speaking for iOS, there is a new feature (Still in Beta) called Xcode cloud from which you can specify a certain branch and each time you commit to this branch it will build and release to test flight.
