Pre-Launch Checklist

A structured checklist to verify your Flutter app is production-ready before submitting to stores. Based on the methodology from Andrea Bizzotto's Flutter in Production course and the flutter_ship_app reference implementation, combined with practical startup shipping patterns.

How to Use This Checklist

Work through each section in order. Items marked [BLOCKER] will cause store rejection or critical production issues if skipped. Items marked [RECOMMENDED] improve quality but can ship without. Items marked [FIRST RELEASE] must be in your very first release — retrofitting later is painful or impossible.

1. Flavors & Environments [FIRST RELEASE]

Multiple build configurations prevent test data from contaminating production analytics, crash reports, and databases.

Source: flutter_ship_app uses three entry points (main_dev.dart, main_stg.dart, main_prod.dart) with separate Firebase projects per flavor.
