Automating Flutter Deployments: Part 3 – Configuring CircleCI
Recently, Iโve worked on automating some internal processes for building and releasing Flutter applications. Part of this effort included utilizing Fastlane with a Continuous Integration/Delivery platform to build and deploy the app. This blog post will outline the process I followed to run the build on CircleCI after I had configured Fastlane to build and deploy the application from my local machine.
Automating Flutter Deployments: Part 1 – Fastlane Configuration
This blog is Part 1 of a three-part series exploring automating Flutter CI/CD on CircleCI. This post covers setting Fastlane to build and deploy applications, Part 2 will outline automating screenshot capture and test runs, and Part 3 will discuss configuring CircleCI to automate these processes.
The documentation for configuring Fastlane for Flutter is fairly comprehensive, however now that I have done it once, there are some things I wish I had known. As mentioned, this blog post will go through the steps for setting up Fastlane to run locally and provide some advice and resources for structuring the setup to easily migrate to a CI/CD platform.

FreeBSD for Writing Java
This one is just for fun. Iโve been using FreeBSD off and on since the late 90โs when a good friend, who has since passed, introduced me to the operating system.
Recently, for personal reasons, Iโve decided to move away from the big IT providers and install FreeBSD on my primary desktop for personal use. Just so itโs clear, I still use the operating system my client uses for work, but for my own personal desktop and coding projects, Iโve decided to once again install and run FreeBSD.
This post is not a tutorial, but letโs take some time to look at using this โUnix-likeโ operating system for real-world situations, such as developing Java applications for fun and profit.
