Tells you the truth about your Flutter project's health - dying dependencies and invalid Android build matrices, each with the exact fix.

Using upkeep

upkeep is a command line tool. Install it once, then run it inside any Dart or Flutter project.

$ dart pub global activate upkeep
$ cd path/to/your_flutter_app
$ upkeep scan

upkeep: command not found means ~/.pub-cache/bin is not on your PATH. Either add it to your shell profile:

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

or skip the PATH entirely with dart pub global run upkeep scan.

What you get

ANDROID BUILD

  FAIL       Gradle 8.4 is too old for AGP 8.9
             AGP 8.9 requires Gradle 8.11.1 or newer. This does not build.
             fix: ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=8.11.1   (run in android/)

1 blocking, 1 at risk, 1 build failure

Every verdict prints the reasons behind it, so you can disagree with upkeep and see exactly why it said what it said.

In CI

upkeep exits non-zero on blocking findings, so it needs no configuration to work as a check.

- run: dart pub global activate upkeep
- run: upkeep scan

Code	Meaning
0	Clean
1	Blocking findings
2	The scan could not run

Scanning somewhere else

$ upkeep scan --path ../other_project
$ upkeep scan --no-cache          # ignore the 24 hour response cache
$ upkeep scan --fail-on-at-risk   # treat warnings as failures too
$ upkeep scan --no-color          # for logs and CI output

Using the engine directly

The CLI is the product, but the engine is importable for tooling that needs the verdicts rather than the report.

import 'package:upkeep/upkeep.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final code = await runScan(projectPath: '.');
  print('upkeep exited with $code');
}
