API Keys
Four steps from zero to your testers getting the build on their devices.
Open the AppFlight mobile app, create an app with your Android package name, and invite your testers.
Go to Settings → API Keys → tap +. Give it a label and copy the key — you won't see it again.
Run appflight init in your project root, then appflight login and paste your key.
Build your APK and run appflight upload --flavor stage. Testers get notified automatically.
The AppFlight CLI is a Dart console app that fits into any Flutter or React Native workflow. Upload APKs, manage environments, and automate distribution from one command.

Short answers to what people ask most often.
Create an app in the AppFlight mobile app, generate an API key, install the CLI with dart pub global activate appflight_cli, then run appflight upload --flavor stage. Your testers are notified automatically via push notification the moment the build is live.
Apple's TestFlight is iOS-only. AppFlight is the Android equivalent — upload an APK, invite testers by email, and they get a push notification the moment a new build is available. No Play Store review cycle and no 14-day waiting.
No — AppFlight isn't trying to replace Firebase App Distribution. The goal is to bring a TestFlight-style tester experience to cross-platform mobile teams, so Flutter and React Native developers get the same smooth beta flow that iOS teams take for granted. Android-only teams are welcome to use AppFlight too, but cross-platform is our primary focus.
Yes. The CLI has a CI mode with typed exit codes for scripting and supports non-interactive API key authentication. Setup guides for each provider are in the docs.
Testers install the AppFlight mobile app from the Play Store (free) and sign in with email. No Google service account, Play Console access, or technical setup is required on the tester's side.
Yes — both Flutter and React Native bare workflow are fully supported. Run appflight init and select your framework when prompted, or pass --project-type react-native to skip the prompt. The CLI reads version and APK paths from your Gradle build files automatically.
