iOS Example

[marc-wilson]

I see that there is an Android example within the azure-pipelines.yml file. Could we get an iOS equivillant?

Hi, I do not have a mac machine. It is hard to create a yml file for iOS. IOS uses a lot of other 3rd party tasks along with Flutter. We use a very old Flutter version so I do not know how IPA build works.

Here is a sample ios build config. After this step there are a few more steps of using Apple provising install and Apple cert install task

steps:
- task: Hey24sheep.flutter.flutter-build.FlutterBuild@0
  displayName: 'Flutter Build ios'
  inputs:
    target: ios
    projectDirectory: <your project>
    buildFlavour: <flavour>
    buildNumber: '$(Build.BuildNumber)'
    buildName: '$(buildTimeStamp)'
    entryPoint: 'lib/main_dev.dart'
    iosCodesign: false
    extraArgs: '--no-tree-shake-icons'

We build archive using this command
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath Runner.xcarchive -exportPath Runner -exportOptionsPlist ios/export_dev.plist

I would really appreciate if anyone from the community can add a PR or a comment here for a nice clean yml config.

I have created a simple pipeline that works for iOS (with additional configuration steps) -> https://xeladu.medium.com/building-flutter-apps-with-azure-devops-eaf9ae7ad158?sk=dcdc007ae2c4fab7942ec5108f189c9a

@xeladu Hi, thank you for a great Medium guide and a clean yaml file. I have added the same to the readme FAQs as well as created a wiki for the same.

I will close this issue in response to a latest Medium article regarding setup

[vincentcastagna]

Could be even more complete if we had the key.properties and the build gradle file for this wiki :)

[hey24sheep]

@vincentcastagna I do not have a sample config files as I'm no longer working on a Flutter project as or now. But public contributions are always welcomed and much appreciated 😄

[xeladu]

@vincentcastagna Here is a guide how to create your key.properties file for Android and adapt the gradle file.
