I created a MacOS application for Flutter mobile app developers. It’s called Cross Launch.

Simplifying Mobile Releases

The goal of the app is to help independent developers launch new mobile apps with fewer steps. I see it fitting somewhere between doing all release prep manually and using a CI/CD solution.

It currently helps with a few bits of configuration that are required before releasing an app. You can set the following values, all in one convenient location:

• App name
• App identifier
• Launcher icon
• App version

Built with Flutter

Cross Launch itself is built with Flutter. It uses the helpful macos_ui package to help get a native MacOS look and feel.

As I mentioned, it’s a Mac application, but the core code is cross platform so it should be possible to port Cross Launch itself to other platforms. However, since you can’t develop iOS applications on Linux or Windows, the app wouldn’t be as useful there.

Short Demo

Finally, here’s a demo showing Cross Launch in action. Please take a moment to appreciate my very click-baity video thumbnail.
