Environment Variables
How the CLI authenticates in CI/CD.
Use this for CI/CD runners where you can't run appflight login interactively.
Reference
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
APPFLIGHT_API_KEY | API key. Takes precedence over ~/.appflight/credentials.json. |
APPFLIGHT_API_KEY
export APPFLIGHT_API_KEY=appflight_xxxxxxxxxxxx
appflight upload --flavor stage
Generate the key in AppFlight mobile app → Settings → API Keys, then add it as a secret in your CI platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).
The key is scoped to your account — keep it out of version control and rotate it in the mobile app if it leaks.
