Part 0 -Before You Start

This series assumes a few things:

• You have a complete Flutter app which meets the guidelines for both the App Store and Google Play store.

• You plan to publish the app yourself and not on behalf of an organization or company. The process is different for organizations.

• You have tested the app thoroughly yourself and feel it is ready to be distributed.

Part 1 of this series is for developers who have never published an app and need to enroll in both developer programs.

If you are already enrolled in both the Google Play and Apple Developer programs, you can skip to Part 2

If you are not yet enrolled in the Google Play and Apple Developer programs, read on.

Prerequisites
