Build Patch Fail

[ember plaza]

After upgrading to Shorebird 1.0.1 and publishing the release using Flutter version 3.13.9, I'm encountering an error when attempting to do a patch update.

Following Error found: 👇

✗ Failed to build: You are applying Flutter's app_plugin_loader Gradle plugin imperatively using the apply script method, which is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Hey, this looks like that the patch command is trying to user a newer version, but patches are tied to the flutter version of their release. Can you share the full verbose log of the command you are running to do the patch?

[ember plaza]

In between, I switched to a newer version after logging into another account of mine.

[ember plaza]

Hi, have you checked?

[vale coyote]

Hey, sorry for not getting back to you, we are still investigating

If you run flutter build appbundle --release --flavor=prod --target=lib/main_prod.dart --verbose with your system flutter (on version 3.19.5), does this command complete successfully?

[ember plaza]

It doesn't complete successfully using 3.19.5, even pub get did not complete successfully because the code is compatible with version 3.13.9.

Can you share the command you're running?

I suspect you'll need to tell shorebird which release version you're patching

AFK at the moment, but you can use the help flag or check the docs to see how to do this

I had assumed that the required version would be picked up automatically from pubspec file. The original command that I was trying to run was:

shorebird patch android --flavor prod -t lib/main_prod.dart

Following your suggestion, I tried specifying the release version same as it is in the pubspec file.

shorebird patch android --flavor prod -t lib/main_prod.dart --release-version 8.3.4+302

And again it failed. Following is output :

✓ Fetching apps (0.6s)
✓ Fetching releases (0.4s)

The release you are trying to patch was built with a different version of Flutter.

Release Flutter Revision: a3d5f7c614aa1cc4d6cb1506e74fd1c81678e68e

We don't use the version from the pubspec file because it may not actually be the version reported by the compiled app

Can you share your app id?

[ember plaza]

sure

[woeful cradle]

Would you mind sharing verbose logs from the failure when you specified the release version?

[woeful cradle]

Hmm, so that suggests it's not a flutter version issue.

The fact that it's failing on signing suggests that maybe your keystore is not properly configured?

Sorry about that, the file was missing. After adding it, the patch was successfully built and uploaded. Thank you so much, guys! @woeful cradle @vale coyote .

I am glad it got solved 🙌
