Step-by-Step Guide​

1. Enable Google Drive Upload​

Update your config.yaml file:

Sample Config file​

# Path to Flutter binary
# Example for Windows: C:/dev/flutter/bin/flutter.bat
# Example for macOS: /Users/USER_NAME/development/flutter/bin/flutter
flutter_path: FLUTTER/BINARY/PATH

upload_options:
  github:
    enabled: false

 google_drive:
   enabled: true
   client_id: YOUR_CLIENT_ID # Required: Google API Client ID
   client_secret: YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET # Required: Google API Client Secret

  slack:
    enabled: false

# QR Code generation settings
qr_code:
  enabled: true # Whether to generate QR codes (true/false)
  save_file: true # Save the QR code image to the file system (true/false)
  show_in_command: true # Display QR code in the command line output (true/false)
  size: 256 # Size of the generated QR code (pixels)
  error_correction_level: low # Error correction level: low, medium, quartile, high
  save_path: "./release-qr-code.png" # File path to save the QR code image

Your credentials must be obtained from Google Cloud Console after enabling the Google Drive API.

2. Build & Release with FRX​

After creating the config.yaml, run the following command to build your Flutter app and trigger the release process:

frx build
