Needed:

• Fastlane setup in each directory
• build_runner as a dependency
• Git Project in VCS

Steps to Run:

1. Download this file and put it at the root level of your flutter project
2. Open the terminal and navigate to your project location
3. Enter this command: chmod +x release.sh

Usage

• For beta: ./release.sh beta
• For production: ./release.sh release

It will do the following:

• Bump the version numbers if you are using the version in the pubspec.yaml
• Release the apps with Fastlane
• Format all Dart Files
• Clean Project
• Rebuild classes
• Add commit message

this is just what i need !

I am making all these sort of scripts cross platform so that its possible to build on any OS.
This is easily done with golang using Task. Have a look. https://github.com/go-task/task
All the complex stuff is just written as golang commands. I can take a crack at this if you want.

Once its done then you have it for all flutter projects because its on your path. Makes working consistently on projects easier.
Also the exact same golang binary is used for CI, so you dont end up having different script for the CI system your using.
