Appcenter: Flutter Support

[mike14u]

Describe the solution you'd like
Adding a support for Flutter projects would be awesome, (importing, building, etc)

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.

[maestersid]

This is one the team is definitely keeping an eye on to track the interest.

[nate-eisner]

Looking forward to this.

It seems an iOS Flutter app can get built via appcenter. For android, it fails to find the necessary android files with the same project.
Figured out this issue ^^

Turns out you can build a flutter app but its not plug and play.

[darrencrossley]

@nate-eisner care to share your solution? - I have the same issue even after using the build scripts found here: https://github.com/Microsoft/appcenter-build-scripts-examples/tree/master/flutter

App center finds our iOS project, but with android it fails to identify the project in the Repo.

@darrencrossley
What was missing for me was the gradle wrapper files. They use those to detect that this is an android project.

Make sure you commit android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar , android/gradlew, and android/gradlew.bat

[sawankumarbundelkhandi]

@darrencrossley and @nate-eisner , Check this issue - https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/30858

[jtn-d]

Scripts are moved to here: https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter/tree/master/sample-build-scripts/flutter.

[rob-piktical]

Forcibly adding android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar , android/gradlew and android/gradlew.bat did the job for me.

[RenanDelfanti]

Any update?

[jwargo]

@RenanDelfanti not yet. Still something we're looking at, talking with customers, etc. Do you have to chat with us about the apps you're building using Flutter?

[RenanDelfanti]

@jwargo Thanks for the answer! I tried to build my app with the post script and everything worked great!

[nilofer]

Happy to see so many builds working with the addition of the build scripts. We're very curious to hear what services matter to those of you working on Flutter. Where else in App Center would you be looking for Flutter support?

@nrajpurkar In my current project, I would like to unify my builds and analysis in appcenter.
I suggest a dart package to support Analytics of appcenter.

@nrajpurkar Full Flutter support and be able to possibly run Flutter tests as well, that way AppCenter can compete w/ codemagic.io

[lewcianci]

I've actually moved to codemagic because appcenter doesn't support this. I actually find it a lot easier to use.... But VSAC can win me back if they add Flutter support :)

[jwargo]

@lewcianci thanks, we'll keep pushing for it.

[c3bryant]

I want to share my experience, to hopefully help save others some time when going down this path.

It did not seem clear or up-front that _App Center does not support Flutter_.

After few searches online, you will find several build scripts and Medium/other articles walking through how to setup Flutter CI with App Center. Microsoft(App Center) hosts post-clone build scripts for this exact purpose as others have pointed out, here: https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter/tree/master/sample-build-scripts/flutter.

None of this worked for me.

After talking with App Center support for a week or so I got the following response:

Currently Flutter build is not supported and I have already tagged this as a feature request +1 for our production team to review.
Do you mind making your feature request on our Github repo: https://github.com/Microsoft/appcenter/issues
You may also search there to see if it has already been submitted. In that case, please 👍 the issue to show your interest. You can also check to see if it is in our upcoming iteration plan: https://github.com/Microsoft/appcenter/wiki/Iteration-Plans

This response contradicts some of the replies on this issue. Users indicate that they were able to get Flutter CI working in App Center, perhaps without 'full' support. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That said, App Center is an amazing tool. Our team has been using it for our React Native project for a few years with no issues, and we hope to be able to do so in the future as we explore other mobile frameworks.

[jwargo]

@c3bryant I apologize for the issues you faced. Flutter is not a supported platform on App Center although it is something we're considering (and I personally want to see happen). It shouldn't be listed anywhere as a supported platform as we don't usually list what platforms we don't support :-)

We do have customers that have gotten it to work for one or more services and we published those build scripts to help customers who want to hack away at it with them until we add formal support. There are even developers who've built Flutter wrappers around our SDK and use them in production apps without issue. That's all we have to offer until we add formal support for the platform/framework.

[luismarquesfreire]

We were building flutter apps for iOS with no problem but it stopped working. Now it says "CocoaPods installed but not initialized. Skipping pod install." and "To initialize CocoaPods, run:
pod setup". I added pod setup as requested on the post build script but it also didn't work. Anyone else with this issue?

[jeffaknine]

Having the same issue for a few days now

[luismarquesfreire]

@jeffaknine my colleague just found a way to resolve this. Force the installation of Cocoapods:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#Place this script in project/ios/

# fail if any command fails
set -e
# debug log
set -x

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.7.5
pod setup

cd ..
git clone -b beta https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git
export PATH=`pwd`/flutter/bin:$PATH

flutter channel stable
flutter doctor
flutter pub get

echo "Installed flutter to `pwd`/flutter"

flutter build ios --release --no-codesign

[jeffaknine]

@luismarquesfreire I already have the "uninstall" and "install" and I have the following problem : "The Podfile does not contain any dependencies"
"CocoaPods did not set the base configuration of your project because your project already has a custom config set. In order for CocoaPods integration to work at all, please either set the base configurations of the target Runner to Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.profile.xcconfig or include the Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner.profile.xcconfig in your build configuration (Flutter/Release.xcconfig)."
Any ideas ?

[luismarquesfreire]

@jeffaknine are you using the script exactly as I provided? It seems that you're running pod install but you can't. Flutter build will do it for you. Remove pod install from your script. You can actually see Podfile file and see that there are no dependencies there, that's because flutter handles it for you with the dependencies stated at pubspec.

Thanks @luismarquesfreire,
Our iOS builds are now working again :) ...
We were using the same method to fix this as well but had the uninstall/install cocoapods after "clone flutter" and it wasn't working.

[ragu89]

it works also for me (in the appcenter-post-clone.sh script).
Thank you

[matheusrezende]

is this going anywhere?

[filiphosko]

Building the app through App Center pipeline is one thing but having the SDK for crashes, analytics, push notifications etc. is another. It would be great if App Center could support Flutter - we use App Center with all our React Native apps but we are seriously considering developing our upcoming projects with Flutter.

[jwargo]

@filiphosko how many apps? How many users are we talking here? Feel free to email me (email address is in my GitHub profile).

[webskydavid]

It would be nice to have flutter support in Appcenter. My company has MS business solutions and we add apps in appcenter for internal purpose. Now we think to use flutter for our app development, and there for we need that Appcenter support flutter.

[jwargo]

[jkatsiotis]

I'm trying to build my flutter app using the above workaround however I'm getting a generic gradle error.

Can someone help?

We are looking forward for this feature.

Using Codemagic (really good tool) but it lacks integration with custom SSO, and our policies require that to be available.

[hanabi1224]

Could not find official SDK for flutter, end up building one that wraps up android / ios SDK . https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_appcenter_bundle

[mrashed]

Any news about Official SDK and Flutter support ?

[King-of-Spades]

Came across this in my research.
@jwargo you noted:

It shouldn't be listed anywhere as a supported platform as we don't usually list what platforms we don't support :-)

I've whipped up a quick readme to state that and point to this feature request, because I think it's reasonable to have that clarification while providing the build scripts: https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter/blob/master/sample-build-scripts/flutter/readme.md

[tnaseem]

@jeffaknine my colleague just found a way to resolve this. Force the installation of Cocoapods:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

flutter doctor
flutter pub get

flutter build ios --release --no-codesign

The error I've been getting is:

Invalid Podfile file: Generated.xcconfig must exist. If you're running pod install manually, make sure flutter pub get is executed first.

I was hoping your fix for your issue would work for me too, but I still get this error, no matter what I change. No idea why it works for others and not me...

My build script:

set -e
set -x

# Install the same version as the one on my machine to see if it helps!
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.9.1 
pod setup

cd ..
git clone -b beta https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git
export PATH=`pwd`/flutter/bin:$PATH

flutter channel beta
flutter doctor
flutter pub get

echo "Installed flutter to \`pwd\`/flutter"

flutter build ios --release --no-codesign

If anyone has any clues as to why this error keeps cropping up, I'd appreciate the help!

As a side note, I have sent a request to the App Center support in the chat window, and posted a question on Stack Overflow.

[alxkzmn]

@rakeshh025 try updating compileSdkVersionand targetSdkVersionin build.gradle to 29.

[graknol]

It would really speed up the build if there were prebuilt images for each of the different channels (stable, beta, dev, etc).

But the real fix would be to really understand that this is just basic Java/Groovy and fix it correctly when defining the $flutterRoot variable.

How i can fix this. Local build working fine. Problem occur only when building apk with appcenter?

I really meant to replace it so that you dont have \, but only /, by using a Java method.

Could you post your file on pastebin or something?

I have this issue, and when to add flutter doctor --android-licenses in the script that is needed to answer yes, but I don't know how to respond that.

[✓] Flutter (Channel stable, v1.17.3, on Mac OS X 10.14.6 18G5033, locale en) [!] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK version 30.0.0) ! Some Android licenses not accepted. To resolve this, run: flutter doctor --android-licenses [✓] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 11.3.1) [!] Android Studio (not installed) [!] Connected device ! No devices available

[cgroeschel]

Thanks to this all licenses can be accepted by adding this to the script right after setting flutter path:

...

yes | $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses

[SogoGolf]

when will AppCenter support Flutter builds ? We're moving off native to Flutter and need this soon.

[chinloyal]

Happy to see so many builds working with the addition of the build scripts. We're very curious to hear what services matter to those of you working on Flutter. Where else in App Center would you be looking for Flutter support?

I have tried the flutter appcenter wrappers created for tracking crashes but it hasn't worked. It would be great if there was an offical AppCenter sdk for flutter

Hi! I had the same problem above with the local.properties that was not found on gradle. This is a file generated by flutter when it runs an application.

I found out that I wrote the appcenter-post-clone.sh with misspelling, so, it was not running, then, there was no local.properties or even flutter installed on the AppCenter machine.

After writing it correctly, I had to push to the repo again, open the build configuration on App Center (so it could identify the post clone script) and then Save&Build again.

This is the tutorial I followed and it works if you do it correctly: https://buildflutter.com/deploying-flutter-apps-via-appcenter/

I hope this is helpfull.

@darshankawar Thanks for your mention here! I am really stuck with building my flutter app on AppCenter as an iOS app. Any advice would be great!

[Vayth]

I need flutter support for Appcenter crashes. Seems like all available flutter package doesn't have trackError capability yet, and I had difficulties using platform channel since I can only pass primitive type, and couldn't find a way to pass Exception/Throwable.

[zuboje]

As Flutter is becoming more and more popular and hitting more devices it would be wise to create a flutter plugin for the app center that will be able to use everything the app center has to offer (analytics, crashes, push notifications). The current alternative is Firebase, or modifying iOS/Android project of your app outside of flutter. There are some plugins others developed but they don't maintain it anymore and being Azure, DevOps customer, it would be easy to integrate App center instead of going to mix it with Google and use Firebase....

[SogoGolf]

Don't hold your breath. Microsoft seem to be ignoring Flutter and it's meteoric rise. Go figure.

[bed42]

Official Flutter support would be appreciated!

[anton-roos]

We need an appcetner-sdk-flutter with official implementation with all the supported Flutter platforms in one Dart Pub Package...

[ReinhardvdBerg]

We are mostly a MS dev house starting a large flutter project for UI, can we please get official support?

[raymonderasmus]

Official flutter support would be appreciated, otherwise we need to start investigating alternatives.

[anton-roos]

I agree we really do need official Microsoft support.
