🚀 Flutter Release Tool

📖 Documentation

Welcome to the comprehensive guide for the release_tool. Whether you're setting up a new project or debugging a deployment, you'll find everything you need here.

• 🚀 Getting Started: Installation, initialization, and your first deployment.
• ⚙️ Configuration Guide: Detailed breakdown of the release_config.yaml file.
• 📚 Commands Reference: A complete list of all CLI commands and arguments.
• 🔐 Fastlane Setup & Credentials: How the tool drives Fastlane under the hood and necessary environment variables.

✨ Key Features

• Interactive Prompts (mason_logger): Colorful outputs, loading spinners, select menus, and confirmation prompts for a seamless local developer experience.
• CI/CD Compatibility: Detects non-interactive terminals automatically, bypassing prompts and letting you specify options via arguments and flags.
• Flavor & Scheme Auto-Detection: Reads Gradle configurations and Xcode schemes to automatically pre-configure your environment parameters.
• Semantic Versioning: Parse and bump pubspec.yaml versions (major, minor, patch, build number) directly from the CLI while preserving formatting and comments.
• Parallel Deployment Pipeline: Concurrently builds and runs Fastlane deployments for iOS and Android, streaming logs with color-coded platform labels.
• Zero-Maintenance generic Fastlane: Automatically bootstraps local Fastfiles, Appfiles, Gemfiles, and Pluginfiles that dynamically consume injected environment variables.
