How to get .apk and .ipa file from flutter?

I also had this question and had a really tough time finding the right solution. First of all in the terminal of your code editor type:

flutter build apk --release

and after that go to this location:

yourAppFolder/build/app/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk

I do not do development for iOS so I don't know much about that.

For apk (Android) run the command :

flutter build apk --release

For ipa (iOS) run the command :

flutter build ios --release

Then to get actual .ipa file, open xcode -> Product -> archive -> Distribute App -> Ad Hoc -> Export

You can then save the .ipa(which is inside the Runner folder) file in any location

For Android an APK is generated every time you build the app, e.g. with flutter run. You will find that in your project folder under <project>/build/app/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk. If you want a release APK, have a look at the docs.

I'm not an iOS person, so I'm not sure an IPA is generated during development as in android. But looking at these docs it seems you can follow the standard steps on xcode to get it, as shown here.

For apk (Android) you need to run the command :

flutter build apk --release

If you want to split the apks per abi (Split Apk) then run

flutter build apk --target-platform android-arm,android-arm64,android-x64 --split-per-abi

For ipa (iOS) you need to run the command :

flutter build ios --release

From the console

P.S. --release is optional as it is by default if you need debug build, just replace --release with --debug

you can find the released APK or IPA files form

build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk
