Overall Good CI/CD for Flutter

Comentários: We needed a CI to build and publish a Flutter app for Android and iOS to both stores as well as Firebase App Distribution. Bitbucket Pipelines doesn't offer Mac machines so we chose something Flutter-specific to not have to worry about Flutter setup in CI.
The good pre-configuration of the build machines as well as publishing tools saved us a lot of time in setting up the CI.

Vantagens:

Good integration with Bitbucket, easy to use UI to set up CI jobs. Mac machines with everything preinstalled to do Flutter testing, build and releases. Allows auto-cancelling of previous builds if new commits are pushed. Especially App Store Connect helpers were very welcome since we didn't have much experience with publishing iOS apps. Newer Yaml configuration option also works well and can of course be versioned with the rest of the app.

Desvantagens:

Lately webhook events are sometimes processed out of order when you have multiple coming in (for example you push to a branch with an open PR, which triggers a hook for both the push and the P{R update). That can lead to the wrong builds being auto-cancelled and a bit of confusion as to whats happening. Sometime issues with retrieving build logs. Dark mode could use more contrast. Linux machines still lack cache support. All in all only minor issues though.

Codemagic for Reliable Mobile App Development

Comentários: Codemagic generates a reliable business performance in mobile development

Vantagens:

Codemagic delivers a satisfactory mobile development services

Desvantagens:

Codemagic outlines a friendly assistance and support

Worst support for worst product

Comentários: They wasted three days of my time, but with no result at all. Product is worthless

Vantagens:

There is nothing to like about this product.

Desvantagens:

No support at all. Documentation is faulty.

Unity CI/CD

Comentários: We have faster build times. It is more secure than Jenkins. Very easy to setup for developers and other team members.

Vantagens:

We were having a hard time building our games on Jenkins and codemagic came to the rescue. We can take concurrent builds at the same time for iOS, since it's a SaaS we don't have to manage the platform. It's very easy to use and set up. Pretty cheap when you compare it with the other platforms.

Desvantagens:

You can store your codemagic.yaml file on the website so you always have to have it on your repository.

Magic bullet for mobile CI/CD

Vantagens:

The UI configuration wizard is one of the coolest thing of the whole system. Also, 1st class Flutter projects support is something I was looking for.

Desvantagens:

There is no way to easily do a feature request or contact support, since Codemagic pushes users to their Slack community instead of giving a chance to just contact the right person. Also, after using Bitrise for quite some time it feels like Codemagic misses some additional predefined steps for configuration.

A truly wonderful, modern CI

Vantagens:

The first thing that struck me about Codemagic is that it looks and feels like a modern tool. Many of the competing softwares in the space have a terrible user experience, which makes you immediately shiver when you first open them. Codemagic is quite the opposite. The user interface is clean and the platform is very configurable considering. I've found builds to be fairly quick and the platform stable. They do a great job of rolling out updates consistently.

Desvantagens:

While the interface is great, I think there could be some improvement in terms of how projects are laid out. Overall, very minor.

Competent platform for iOS

Vantagens:

We had an ready transition from our last tool. In the past, changing platforms has been an ordeal.

Desvantagens:

Many features are Flutter centric. Sometimes the docs aren't clear that something is specifically for flutter builds, and other platforms feel second class.

Best CI for Flutter

Comentários: Excellent. Not only from a tech, value proposition point of view, but only from a customer service. The slack channel the use for that is an excellent idea.

Vantagens:

It's a CI specific for flutter ecosystem, so you have every option you need for that platform and stack, and no option you don't need.

Desvantagens:

The (extremely rare) ocasional instability of a company starting up. Nothing to worry about.

A great CI/CD tool

Comentários: Overall, there is no better combination of price and developer experience. Tools like GitHub Actions are powerful but require more configuration and are probably better suited for larger teams.

Vantagens:

Ease of use - essentially low maintenance once it is set up. Developer experience Great customer support Competitive pricing

Desvantagens:

Currently no static analysis or support for code coverage. Reporting on failed tests could also be better. In the past I have had issues with Apple Dev Console authentication. Mac Mini instances can also be slow at times.

Good, but it can be improved

Comentários: Overall is good, I will use it for my next projects.

Vantagens:

The ability to free up time for deployment, tools that allows to easily check for problems and the debugging session

Desvantagens:

Documentation for the set up (not for flutter project) should be made more comprehensible. The inability to receive an email when a build failed.

Codemagic is awesome

Comentários: Awesome experience.

Vantagens:

Really easy to use and at a really good price.

Desvantagens:

I have no complaints about Codemagic, I like the way it is.

Codemagic is truly Magic

Comentários: We had a CI/CD solution setup for a new Flutter app in less than a week which has enabled us to build an entire app within 5 months from start to finish and achieve a tight feedback loop with testers and stakeholders. The customer support quality and responsiveness is unparalleled.

Vantagens:

The ability to get a Flutter app built and deployed is so simple and streamlined that even non-developers can define their own workflows to suit their needs.

Desvantagens:

The UI can be a little difficult to navigate at times and find certain features.

Codemagic Experience

Comentários: The overall experience is great. Setup the app and deployed in the app store and play store , loved it.

Vantagens:

1. There is a free plan available and pay as you go plan available 2. I can build ipa and apk in cloud and share it 3. The setup is very easy 4. The UI is super nice and love the experience 5. ci-cd works great 6. add projects from github gitlab etc.

Desvantagens:

Everythings seems great , just add some tutorial videos or samples in docs.

An excellent and continuously growing product offered by an excellent team

Vantagens:

As with any other product, perhaps the most important aspect is whether it solves a problem or not. In our case, we were looking for a CI/CD platform to build and deliver our Flutter applications. Codemagic was among the very few available at that time and, as soon as we started using it, we stopped searching. Not only it solved our problem, but it helped us do it effectively and efficiently. Not to mention the generous free tier and the excellent documentation and guides/blog posts such as the ones describing how to handle Firebase configuration files safely. Moreover, we have seen Codemagic grow into a more mature and comprehensive platform including support for more frameworks and monorepos (again, excellent blog post about them).

Desvantagens:

I am having a really hard time finding any issues. Of course, there are some things you have to get used to such as workflows and where to find certain settings, but overall Codemagic really does well what it's supposed to do.

More or less satisfied

Comentários: It's been fairly positive. It does feel like there are some missing features, or that some were put together in a way that isn't super useful. I wish there was a way to invalidate the cache with the click of a button like with Nevercode. Also, caching doesn't seem to save much on build time (at least for iOS). Support is usually responsive (though we've had times were we don't get answers for a week).

Vantagens:

For the most part, it is low/no code. It didn't take too long to get setup. Issues were typical mobile CI tinkering.

Desvantagens:

It's a bit hard to navigate the UI. Frequently have trouble finding things like where to encrypt data, etc.

Does the job, and does it very well!

Vantagens:

What I like most about Codemagic is that they were the first to support Flutter and allowed me to create an easy workflow to release versions of our app. I would also like to point out that Codemagic team is always adding new features. They communicate very well though their slack channel, which I use every time I need some help (an the support team is awesome).

Desvantagens:

The support is based on European time. Not sure if they expanded this already, but if you want some quick official support and live on PST for example, you may have to wait a bit. But nothing critical.

Flutter CI/CD

Comentários: I just have 2 words, Life Saving

Vantagens:

The ease of use and what it provides. Not having a mac made me really worried about compiling an app for ios but codemagic came to the rescue. Its quick, easy to use, and can be easily customised according to one's need. It is one of the best deployment tools out there

Desvantagens:

Everything was great, but I had one really big problem. To be honest I am not even sure if it is a valid problem. While compile for ios, I get a .app file instead of .ipa. I know I need to put in my apple developer iD, but I would love it if they can provide a default ID as theirs. I am not sure if thats even feasible but wanted to put it out there

Good value for money, saves tons of time

Comentários: It helped us minimize the time needed to distribute builds to our team.

Vantagens:

It's very simple to set up and it hides the complexity of CI behind a friendly UI. Support team very responsive.

Desvantagens:

In the beginning, there wasn't too much documentation / implementation was changing fast, but it stabilized over the last months.

Worth a try for production apps

Comentários: I wanted to automate CI/CD and it worked smoothly with Codemagic.

Vantagens:

Ready-to-use templates are nice to start quickly.

Desvantagens:

It would nice to see more plugins for integration.

Apps are build and published!

Vantagens:

- easy to use - it works - easy to debug

Desvantagens:

- first setup may be harsh. But once you finish all goes smooth

Easy CI/CD

Comentários: I can iterate fast on the development and clients have almost instant access to my latest work.

Vantagens:

Very easy to set up for Flutter projects.

Desvantagens:

There were some issues with setting up the App Store account in the past but now everything seems to be working perfectly.

Everything about magic of Codemagic

Vantagens:

The integration of the flutter development environment lets to get the app directly without any difficulty

Desvantagens:

The simplicity of the website is one of the important factors

Mademedia uses Nevercode!

Comentários: At Made Media we rely on Nevercode throughout our development process, all the way from early tests to final releases. It is an incredible and essential tool that every software company needs! Being able to have centralized control over automated builds is amazing. Configuration takes seconds and the resulting built products get packaged, provisioned, and signed and distributed via installable links, all from the same environment, helping us focus on making our product better instead of wasting time on the tedious and repetitive build process.

Vantagens:

Excellent Github integration; ability to track multiple-projects and branches; automated app provisioning and signing; automated reports on Slack and email; support for automated UI Tests and Amazon Web Services Device Farm.

Best platform for iOS deployment

Comentários: I am very statisfied, it solved the problem of building my app for iOS, because I do not own a Mac computer.

Vantagens:

The best is the ease of use, you just have to connect your GitHub account and all the repos are there, and you can build the app right away, without the need of a Mac computer.

Desvantagens:

In my opinion there was no downsides of using the platform, the guides are easy to use, and the UI is self-explanatory.

Simplified App Deployment

Comentários: Great addition to our business suite. Used weekly wouldnt look for a replacement

Vantagens:

Ease of integration to appstore connect (ios). Good documentation - great simple to understand user interface

Desvantagens:

Setup of the yaml file slightly confusing with multiple versions on the net
