codemagic-sample-projects VS Flutter

codemagic.io is a CI/CD service which will build and optionally deploy your Flutter apps for you. You can integrate it with github and automate builds triggered by tags or pushes, etc. There's a generous free tier that I have not exceeded yet, because I mostly use it for final testing after getting a release candidate. They use M1 mac minis as their standard build devices (I think), but that's configurable too.

https://codemagic.io/ will put your app on the app store without a Mac, but you still have to sign up for the developer account yourself and pay $99.

When you want to deploy to iOS, either (1) borrow a friend's Mac for a few hours, or (2) use a service like https://codemagic.io/ that deploys to the iOS app store for you, for a small fee.

I've managed to build the CLI & GUI for M1 Mac using https://codemagic.io . If you have a M1 device, please give it a try:

I have heard about codemagic.io, but thought it would cost huge money.

So, I use codemagic.io.

I'm currently using CodeMagic to deploy to both App Store and Google Play.

Monorepos are extremely helpful when working with larger codebases. But they also come with additional management costs. In this article, we will go through the process of managing a monorepo with a tool like Melos and set up our repository for CI/CD with Codemagic.

Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.

Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

> There is actually a great issue thread on the Flutter GitHub that explains exactly why other solutions do not work correctly when compared to hooks [0]

Interesting. I assume you are referring to this comment in particular -> https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/51752#issuecomment... ?
