DartDosh

Build and ship your Flutter app with one command. Bumps the version, names the file properly, and uploads it to Firebase, Telegram, or the store — so you stop doing it by hand.

Pure Dart. No Ruby, no fastlane, no Gemfile.

$ dartdosh build aab -p

✅ Build number updated: 41 → 42, Boss!
⚙️ Process: Build steps in progress, Boss...
[██████████████████████████████] 100% - [appbundle - production] - Ready!
🎉 App ready: appbundle (production), Boss!
✅ Build saved: ~/Desktop/dartdosh-builds/my_app/aab/prod_1.2.3_42.aab, Boss!
🚀 Uploading AAB to Google Play (production → production track), Boss...
✅ AAB successfully uploaded to Play Store (production track), Boss!
🎯 Process completed in 94.3 seconds. Saved your time, Boss! ⚡

That is one command doing five things: incrementing the build number, running the right flavored build, renaming the artifact to prod_1.2.3_42.aab, filing it under your output folder, and pushing it to the store.

Why not a shell script or fastlane?

	DartDosh	fastlane
Runtime	Dart — already on your machine	Ruby + Gemfile + bundler
Setup	`dartdosh init` writes the config for you	Fastfile per platform, by hand
Flutter flavors	First-class (`-p`, `-s`, `-d`)	You wire it up
Version + file naming	Automatic, consistent	You script it
UI language	English, Uzbek, Russian, Turkish	English

Flutter is dropping Ruby and CocoaPods from new projects. A release toolchain that needs neither is one less thing to maintain.

Install

dart pub global activate dartdosh

If the command isn't found: export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"

Quick start

cd your_flutter_project
dartdosh init          # writes dartdosh_config/, updates .gitignore
dartdosh build apk -p  # build production APK

init reads your pubspec.yaml and generates two files:

build_config.json — build commands and upload targets. Commit it, share it with your team.
settings.json — your machine's preferences and credentials. Gitignored automatically.

That's the whole setup. If a later release adds a config key, dartdosh init fills it in without touching what you already have.

What it does

Building

One command per target: apk, aab (or appbundle), ipa
Flavor flags: -p production, -s staging, -d development
Any extra Flutter flag passes straight through — --split-per-abi, --obfuscate, --dart-define
Live progress bar parsed from the real build output

Versioning and naming

Auto-increments the build number in pubspec.yaml before the build
Renames artifacts to prod_1.2.3_42.aab — flavor, version, build number
Sorts them into output_path/<project>/<target>/, so releases don't pile up in build/

Distributing

🔥 Firebase App Distribution — APK to your tester groups
✈️ Telegram — APK straight to a channel over MTProto, so the 50 MB Bot API limit doesn't apply (up to 2 GB)
🍎 App Store Connect — IPA upload
🏪 Google Play — AAB to internal, beta, or production
Release notes prompt once, then travel with every upload

Housekeeping

dartdosh clean removes old build output and reports the space freed
dartdosh upgrade / downgrade manage the CLI itself
Logs in English, Uzbek, Russian, or Turkish — set language in settings.json

Commands

dartdosh init                      # set up or repair config
dartdosh build <target> [-p|-s|-d] # build, rename, move, upload
dartdosh clean [target] [-p|-s|-d] # delete old output files
dartdosh telegram setup            # store your Telegram credentials
dartdosh telegram status           # check which credentials are in effect
dartdosh --version                 # show version
dartdosh upgrade                   # update to the latest release
