 ### Fastfile
 
 
+The first 3 commands are essential for creating a new clean flutter build. `flutter build appbundle --release` creates a new .aab file that is built in release mode. Deferred components are parts of an app that can be downloaded after the initial installation to reduce the initial download size. `--no-tree-shake-icons` is usually used when building for production.
+
+Lastly upload_to_play_store() is a fastlane command. One of the tracks (production, open, closed, internal) is selected with the default being production (yikes) as well as the path location of the .aab created with the `flutter build appbundle --release --no-deferred-components --no-tree-shake-icons` command.

+Similarly we can upload to test tracks using the following commands. Here we upload a bundle to the internal testing track and also promote it to the closed testing track.
