Dev꞉ Build From Source

Make sure your flutter version same as .flutter, You can use fvm to keep multiple versions on your local machine, or simply use this submodule to build it!

1. In the project folder, run flutter pub get
2. Launch an emulator or connect a device for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, or Linux

Generally, you can build the app with flutter build (default: --release), or run it directly using flutter run (default: --debug).

Build outputs located at build/app/outputs.

Building for iOS / macOS

    • flutter build --flavor f_dev <other optional args>
• f_generic
  • # For Publish

  • command:
    • flutter run --flavor f_store <other optional args>
    • flutter build --flavor f_store <other optional args>

Build outputs located at:

• iOS: build/ios/ (e.g. build/ios/ipa)
• macOS: uild/macos/Build/Products (e.g. build/macos/Build/Products/Release)

To build dmg package, refer to scripts/build_dmg.sh and .github\workflows\app-release.yml#jobs.build-macos-dmg.

Building for Linux Desktop

1. Installing the following packages for SQFlite database and flutter_secure_storage:

   sudo apt-get -y install \
      libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev \
      libsecret-1-dev libjsoncpp-dev

2. Please follow this official guide to initialize your Flutter development environment.

   Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):
   [✓] Flutter (Channel stable, X.X.X, on Your Linux Platform)
   (...)
   [✓] Linux toolchain - develop for Linux desktop
   (...)

4. In project folder, run flutter pub get

5. Then run flutter build linux, once finished you should see:

   Building Linux application...
   ✓ Built build/linux/<arch>/release/bundle/mhabit

6. Enjoy by running the output binary:

   • x86_64: build/linux/x64/release/bundle/mhabit
   • aarch64: build/linux/arm64/release/bundle/mhabit

To build flatpak package, refer to scripts/build_flatpak_pre.sh, scripts/build_flatpak.sh and .github/workflows/app-release.yml#jobs.build-linux||build-linux-flatpak.

Building for Windows Desktop

Then run commands below:

flutter pub get
flutter build windows

Build outputs located at build\windows\x64\runner (e.g. build\windows\x64\runner\Release)
