👋 Welcome to our guide on using Tuist and Codemagic CI/CD for mobile developers. In this guide, we’ll focus on how you can utilize the capabilities of Tuist, a command-line tool that helps maintain and interact with Xcode projects, in conjunction with Codemagic to expedite your build processes. We can significantly enhance build speed and efficiency through smart caching techniques. 🚀

Dart and Flutter are a powerful duo when building software applications, ranging from mobile apps - Android and iOS; to desktop apps - Linux, Windows, and macOS. Flutter is sufficient to handle most application features. However, some apps involve deeper integration with their platform components. Flutter boasts of smooth and easy-to-setup mechanisms for communication between Flutter and platform hosts.
