APK File Format

This command is used to build the project in the form of an .apk file.

Default

By default this command will build the project with the release version staging flavor.

morpheme build apk

After the building process is complete, we can check the .apk file in the build/app/outputs/apk/ and build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/ folders.

Options :

morpheme build apk [flavor/environment] [app_version] [custom_target] [build_number] [build_name] [[no-]obfuscate] [split-debug-info]

• Flavor/Environment :

Flavor/Environment	Alternative	Description
-f dev	--flavor dev	Build project on dev environment (Default)
-f stag	--flavor stag	Build project on staging environment
-f prod	--flavor prod	Build project on production environment

• Generate l10n :

Generate l10n	Description
--[no]l10n	Generate l10n first before running other command. (defaults to on)

• App Version :

App Version	Description
--debug	Build project on debug mode (Default)
--profile	Build project on profile mode
--release	Build project on release mode (Default)

• Custom Target :

Custom Target	Alternative	Description
-t [url_file]	--target [url_file]	This command is used to build the application in a specific file, by default it will run the lib/main.dart file.

• Custom Build Name :

Build Name	Description
--build-name [build_number]	This command is used to build application with a specific name.

• Custom Build Number :

Build Number	Description
--build-number [build_number]	This command is used to build application with a specific version number.

• No Obfuscate :

Build Number

Description

--[no-]obfuscate

In a release build, this flag removes identifiers and replaces them with randomized values for the purposes of source code obfuscation. This flag must always be combined with "--split-debug-info" option, the mapping between the values and the original identifiers is stored in the symbol map created in the specified directory. For an app built with this flag, the "flutter symbolize" command with the right program symbol file is required to obtain a human readable stack trace. (defaults to on)

• Split Debug Info :

Build Number

Description

--split-debug-info

In a release build, this flag reduces application size by storing Dart program symbols in a separate file on the host rather than in the application. The value of the flag should be a directory where program symbol files can be stored for later use. These symbol files contain the information needed to symbolize Dart stack traces. For an app built with this flag, the "flutter symbolize" command with the right program symbol file is required to obtain a human readable stack trace. This flag cannot be combined with "--analyze-size". (defaults to "./.symbols/")

Example - Custom Version

1. Debug Version

   morpheme build apk --debug

2. Profile Version

   morpheme build apk --profile

3. Release Version

   morpheme build apk --release

Example - Custom Environment/Flavor

1. Dev Environment

   morpheme build apk -f dev
   Alternative:

   morpheme build apk --flavor dev
2. Staging Environment

   morpheme build apk -f dev
   Alternative:

   morpheme build apk --flavor dev
3. Production Environment

   morpheme build apk -f dev
   Alternative:

   morpheme build apk --flavor dev

Example - Custom Version and Environment Combination

morpheme build apk --release -f prod

Example - Custom Target

morpheme build apk --target [url_file *optional]

Alternative:

morpheme build apk --t [url_file *optional]

Example - Custom morpheme.yaml

morpheme build apk --morpheme-yaml [custom_path]

Example - Custom Build Number

morpheme build apk --build-number [build_number]

For example, we create an apk file with the custom build number 1.0.0

morpheme build apk --build-number 1.0.0

Example - Custom Build Name

morpheme build apk --build-name [build_name]

For example, we create an apk file with the name application_release

morpheme build apk --build-name application_release

Example - No Obfuscate

morpheme build apk --[no-]obfuscate

Example - Split Debug Info

morpheme build apk --split-debug-info
