Code Export

Code Export gives you the full Flutter source code for your project. Download it, open it in any IDE, and continue development on your own terms.

Requires a paid plan (Build, Grow, or Scale). See Plans & Pricing for details.

How to export

1. Open the Export section

   Go to Workspace → Export.

2. Click “Export Source Code”

   The export takes 1–2 minutes to generate.

3. Download the zip file

   Save it to your computer and extract.

What you get

A complete Flutter project with the standard project structure:

• All screens and UI components
• Navigation and routing
• State management logic
• Business logic and data models
• Assets (images, fonts, icons)
• Dependencies defined in pubspec.yaml
• Android upload keystore — android/app/upload-keystore.p12 and android/key.properties (contains the keystore password). This is the signing key used to sign your AAB for Google Play upload.

This is the same code Primio uses to generate your preview and builds. It’s real, production-ready Flutter/Dart code.

Keep your keystore safe

The upload keystore (upload-keystore.p12) is required every time you upload an update to Google Play. If you lose it, you won’t be able to push updates to your existing Play Store listing. Back it up securely along with the credentials in key.properties.

Opening the project

Open the extracted folder in your preferred IDE:

• VS Code — File → Open Folder → select the extracted directory
• Android Studio — File → Open → select the extracted directory
• IntelliJ IDEA — with the Flutter plugin installed, same as Android Studio

Running locally

You need the Flutter SDK installed on your machine.

cd my-exported-app
flutter pub get
flutter run

This launches the app on a connected device or emulator.

What you can do with the code

The code is yours completely. You can:

• Modify any screen, feature, or behavior
• Add custom packages and dependencies
• Integrate with your own backend
• Hand it off to a developer or team
• Publish it through your own build pipeline
• Use it as a starting point for a larger project

One-way snapshot

Code export is a one-way snapshot. Changes you make locally won’t sync back to Primio, and further iterations in Primio won’t appear in your exported copy. Export when you’re ready to develop independently, or continue iterating in Primio first.

Code Export vs. PWA Export

	Code Export	PWA Export
What you get	Full Flutter source code	Compiled web build (HTML/CSS/JS)
Can modify code	Yes	No (compiled output)
Can build for all platforms	Yes (Android, iOS, Web)	Web only
Requires Flutter SDK	Yes	No
Use case	Continue development independently	Self-host a web version

See PWA Export if you only need the compiled web files for hosting.
