## What it is
Fastforge (formerly Flutter Distributor) is an all-in-one CLI tool for building, packaging, and publishing Flutter applications across Android, iOS, OpenHarmony, and desktop platforms. It uses a single YAML configuration to generate distribution formats like APK, AAB, IPA, and AppImage, and publish them to stores and services such as Google Play, App Store, and Firebase.

## Use cases
- build and package flutter apps for android and ios with one command
- publish flutter app to google play and app store from ci
- generate apk aab ipa appimage packages from a single config
- automate flutter release pipeline in github actions
- distribute flutter app to firebase app distribution or pgyer
- manage multiple flavors and environments for flutter releases

## When to choose
- you ship Flutter apps to multiple platforms and stores regularly
- you want declarative YAML-driven packaging and publishing integrated into CI/CD
- you need many distribution formats (APK, AAB, IPA, HAP, AppImage, etc.) from one tool

## When to avoid
- you only build for a single platform with simple needs
- your app is not built with Flutter
- you need a fully stable native binary today — the Rust rewrite is still in progress

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
