Introduction
Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) has become essential for serious app teams. Flutter apps can now be built, tested, and released across platforms with near-zero manual effort — if your project is structured right. AppBestie helps you design that structure before you even write a line of code.
Why CI/CD Matters
- Automates testing, builds, and publishing
- Reduces human error and "works on my machine" bugs
- Frees developers to focus on feature work
- Speeds up release cycles dramatically
