I am constructing a Flutter app and utilizing --dart-define to go environment-specific variables like ENV, x-api-key, or base URLs. This works completely for Android utilizing:
flutter construct apk --dart-define=ENV=prod
For iOS, I can construct the app and generate a .ipa utilizing:
flutter construct ipa --dart-define=ENV=prod
Until Now
There was no surroundings variable setup. So I used to deploy app utilizing Xcode > Product > Archive which builds the app, and opens the Organizer window. From there, I can select distribution strategies akin to TestFlight, App Retailer, or export the .ipa as seen within the picture. Nevertheless, this methodology doesn’t embrace my –dart-define variables like ENV=prod, that are essential for my app’s configuration
.
If I exploit flutter construct ipa --dart-define=ENV=prod to construct the .ipa, I’ve to make use of Transporter app to add the .ipa. However it doesn’t give me as many possibility as I get in XCode proven I the picture.
My Query:
How can I:
Use Xcode to construct the iOS app and nonetheless embrace the –dart-define surroundings variables, like ENV=prod?
OR, is there a technique to get the identical App Retailer distribution choices (like Organizer window) after constructing by way of flutter construct ipa?
Any steerage on easy methods to bridge this hole between Flutter CLI builds and the Xcode Organizer move could be actually useful.
Thanks!
