flutter_release_manager 1.0.0

Build, package, and distribute Flutter APK and IPA releases with a single command. Upload to Google Drive and Diawi automatically with guided setup and zero Google Cloud configuration.

Changelog

3.0.0

Changed

• Package renamed: flutter_build_release → flutter_release_manager
• Architecture: replaced Google Drive REST API (googleapis) with rclone — no Google Cloud Console, no OAuth client IDs, no API keys required
• Google Drive authentication is now fully browser-based: flutter_release_manager init opens a browser once, stores the token securely, and never prompts again
• Machine config moved to ~/.config/flutter_release_manager/config.json (Windows: %APPDATA%\flutter_release_manager\config.json)
• Project config renamed to .flutter_release_manager_config.json
• rclone remote name changed to flutter_release_manager
• New command: flutter_release_manager init — one-time setup wizard; installs rclone, signs into Google Drive, picks destination folder, optionally saves Diawi token
• New command: flutter_release_manager doctor — prerequisite health check with fix hints
• Removed --drive-folder-id and --flavour flags (Drive folder is now selected during init)
• Removed --rclone-remote flag (remote is created and managed automatically)
• rclone auth is 100% non-interactive: rclone config reconnect is never called; OAuth token is obtained via rclone authorize (browser-only) and embedded at remote creation time

Added

• flutter_release_manager init setup wizard
• flutter_release_manager doctor health check
• Automatic rclone installation on macOS (Homebrew) and Linux (apt-get)
• Automatic migration of all configuration from flutter_build_release:
  • Machine config (~/.config/flutter_build_release/) copied on first run
  • Project config (.flutter_build_release_config.json) copied on first run
  • rclone remote flutter_build_release migrated without re-authentication
• Deadlock prevention: stdin closed immediately on all rclone subprocesses; interactive prompt detection kills the process rather than hanging indefinitely
• Upload retry: 3 attempts with exponential back-off (3 s, 6 s)
• 30-minute upload timeout; 5-minute OAuth timeout

Removed

• googleapis and googleapis_auth dependencies
• DriveUploader, DriveAuthenticator, CredentialStore classes
• All Google Drive REST API code

Migration Guide

1. Install the new package:

   dart pub global activate flutter_release_manager
   

2. Run init (your existing Google Drive access is preserved automatically):

   flutter_release_manager init
   

   On first run, your old config, project settings, and rclone remote are migrated silently. No re-authentication is required.

3. Remove the old package:

   dart pub global deactivate flutter_build_release
   

4. Update CI scripts: replace flutter_build_release with flutter_release_manager.

2.0.0

Breaking change — rclone is no longer required.

• Replace rclone with native Google Drive REST API (googleapis + googleapis_auth)
• First-run OAuth flow: browser opens automatically, refresh token saved to ~/.config/flutter_build_release/credentials.json
• Subsequent runs load stored token and refresh it silently — no prompts for credentials
• Credentials (Drive refresh token, Diawi API token) moved to machine-level store; project config never contains secrets
• ConfigStore.save() now auto-appends .flutter_build_release_config.json to .gitignore
• v1.x diawiToken in project config is migrated to CredentialStore on first run
• Add --skip-build / --upload-only flag: upload an already-built artifact without recompiling
• runLive() gains a 20-minute timeout; process is killed on expiry
• Drive upload retries up to 3× with exponential back-off (3s, 6s)
• Diawi upload retries up to 3× with exponential back-off before polling
• Remove --rclone-remote flag (no longer relevant)
• Drive folder URL accepted as input; folder ID extracted automatically
• Pre-flight validation now verifies Drive folder accessibility via the API before the build starts
• Prefer arm64-v8a APK; emit explicit warning when falling back to armeabi-v7a

1.0.3

• Fix: resolve correct package source directory when installing from pub.dev

1.0.2

• Auto-detect Flutter project directory when run from inside the project
• Auto-detect app name from pubspec.yaml (converted to PascalCase)
• Persist answers to .flutter_build_release_config.json — no retyping on subsequent runs
• Pre-flight checks: verify flutter, rclone, and xcodebuild are available before building
• Show a pre-build summary and require confirmation before starting
• Show all testing URLs together in a final summary after build completes
• Fix: CLI flags --rclone-remote, --scheme, --export-method now correctly override saved config
• Fix: error messages now always show both example values and the fix instruction
• Fix: invalid menu choices now retry instead of exiting
• Fix: upload arm64-v8a APK (modern devices) with fallback to armeabi-v7a
• Fix: auto-discover .xcworkspace file in ios/ instead of hardcoding Runner.xcworkspace
• Fix: flavour menu uses consistent 1/2/3 numbering to match platform menu
• Warn when Diawi token is saved to disk for the first time
