FlutLab is very convenient when you want to develop a WEB Flutter app. But for Android, you had to manually upload your APK to the device (and manually remove the previous version), manually install it. A lot of routine work!

But that bad times are over! Now you can use the new Android app, available on Play Market, named (surprise, surprise) FlutLab Installer. You can see the link to this app just inside a new “Devices” tab in FlutLab Settings:

  1. Go to Google Play and Download FlutLab Installer to your Android device.

2. Sign In with your FlutLab account:

3. Go to FlutLab IDE and press Settings -> Devices. Here you’ll see all devices you’ve connected:

4. Select the application build target architecture in the Builder tab:

5. Turn on Auto-upload and select your device (or devices, if you’re using several devices with FlutLab Installer):

6. Back to IDE and press a “Build” button.

7. Your build will start and create *.apk file.

When the build finishes, it will Automatically push APKs to all selected devices.

8.You will be asked if you want to install a new app. Approve it and see the funny animations:

9. Your app will run automatically. Start testing it!

10. Back to Flutter Installer and manage your apps and installations.
