dartdosh 0.1.2

A powerful Flutter build CLI tool with automatic version management, smart file naming, and personalized experience

DartDosh CLI – User Guide

DartDosh is a CLI tool for simplifying Flutter builds with automatic version management and output handling. Run commands directly:

dartdosh build <target> --<environment> [extra flags]

Examples:

dartdosh build ipa --production --split
dartdosh build apk --development --other-flag
dartdosh build appbundle --staging

---

Requirements

• Dart SDK ≥ 3.0
• Flutter SDK installed
• Terminal (Mac/Linux/Windows)

---

Installation

Install from pub.dev

dart pub global activate dartdosh

Add to PATH (if needed)

Mac/Linux (.zshrc or .bashrc):

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"
source ~/.zshrc

Windows PowerShell:

$env:PATH += ";$env:USERPROFILE\.pub-cache\bin"

---

Configuration

The build_config.json file is automatically created with default settings when you first run DartDosh. You can also create it manually in your Flutter project root:

{
  "output_path": "releases",
  "apk": {
    "production": "flutter build apk --release --flavor production",
    "staging": "flutter build apk --release --flavor staging",
    "development": "flutter build apk --debug --flavor development"
  },
  "ipa": {
    "production": "flutter build ipa --release --flavor production",
    "staging": "flutter build ipa --release --flavor staging"
  },
  "appbundle": {
    "production": "flutter build appbundle --release --flavor production",
    "staging": "flutter build appbundle --release --flavor staging"
  }
}

Config Parameters:

• output_path (optional): Path where built files will be copied after build
  • If not specified, files will only be renamed in the build directory
  • Can be absolute path (/Users/you/releases) or relative to project (releases)
  • Directory will be created automatically if it doesn't exist

---

Usage

dartdosh build <target> --<environment> [extra flags]

• <target>: ipa, apk, appbundle
• <environment>: --production, --staging, --development
• [extra flags]: e.g., --split, --obfuscate, etc.

---

Features

🤖 Auto Configuration

If build_config.json doesn't exist in your Flutter project, DartDosh will automatically create it with sensible defaults. You'll be greeted with:

🔢 Automatic Version Management

Before every build, DartDosh automatically:

1. Reads the current version from pubspec.yaml
2. Increments the build number by 1
3. Updates pubspec.yaml with the new build number

Example:

# Before build
version: 1.2.3+45

# After build
version: 1.2.3+46

📦 Smart File Naming

Built files are automatically renamed using the format:

{environment}_{version}_{buildNumber}.{extension}

Examples:

• production_1.2.3_46.apk
• staging_2.0.0_12.ipa
• development_1.5.0_78.aab

For split APKs:

• production_1.2.3_46_arm64-v8a.apk
• production_1.2.3_46_armeabi-v7a.apk
• production_1.2.3_46_x86_64.apk

📁 Output Path Management

If output_path is specified in build_config.json:

• Built files are copied to the specified directory
• Original files remain in the build directory
• Directory structure is created automatically

Without output_path:

• Files are only renamed in the build directory

---

Notes

• For APK builds, --split automatically adds --split-per-abi
• Any additional flags after the base command are appended automatically
• Build number is incremented before the build starts
• All messages are personalized with "Xo'jayiin" (Boss) for a friendly experience
• Missing build_config.json is automatically created with default Flutter build commands
