Basics
Running and Building
How to run app in different environments:
| Environment name | Command |
|---|---|
| Default | flutter run OR flutter run --dart-define="environment=default" |
| Development | flutter run --dart-define="environment=develop" |
| Staging/ QA | flutter run --dart-define="environment=stage" |
| Production | flutter run --dart-define="environment=production" |
How to build app?
Building app with different environments
| Platform | Environment name | Command |
|---|---|---|
| Android | Default | flutter build apk OR flutter build apk --dart-define="environment=default" |
| Android | Development | flutter build apk --dart-define="environment=develop" |
| Android | Staging/ QA | flutter build apk --dart-define="environment=stage" |
| Android | Production | flutter build apk --dart-define="environment=production" |
| Android (appbundle) | Default | flutter build appbundle OR flutter build appbundle --dart-define="environment=default" |
| Android (appbundle) | Development | flutter build appbundle --dart-define="environment=develop" |
| Android (appbundle) | Staging/ QA | flutter build appbundle --dart-define="environment=stage" |
| Android (appbundle) | Production | flutter build appbundle --dart-define="environment=production" |
| Platform | Environment name | Command |
|---|---|---|
| iOS | Default | flutter build ipa OR flutter build ipa --dart-define="environment=default" |
| iOS | Development | flutter build ipa --dart-define="environment=develop" |
| iOS | Staging/ QA | flutter build ipa --dart-define="environment=stage" |
| iOS | Production | flutter build ipa --dart-define="environment=production" |
| iOS (.app) | Default | flutter build ios OR flutter build ipa --dart-define="environment=default" |
| iOS (.app) | Development | flutter build ios --dart-define="environment=develop" |
| iOS (.app) | Staging/ QA | flutter build ios --dart-define="environment=stage" |
| iOS (.app) | Production | flutter build ios --dart-define="environment=production" |
Building in different modes.
Pass additional arguments with your build commands.
| mode | Command |
|---|---|
| Debug | flutter build ipa --debug, flutter build apk --debug |
| Profile | flutter build ipa --profile, flutter build apk --profile |
| Release | flutter build ipa --release, flutter build apk --release |
Building ipa without signing it
| flag | command |
|---|---|
| --no-codesign | flutter build ipa --no-codesign, flutter build ios --no-codesign |
Note: building for ipa will give Runner.xcarchive. To check the app, you should right click on Runner.xcarchive > then select show package contents > then open products > application > There you will be able to find the application.
