Installing flutter

To build firka you will have to use our custom Flutter fork, and to make a release build you will have to use our custom flutter engine. The documentation for installing flutter can be found here.

Instead of downloading the regular flutter zip, clone it from (https://git.firka.app/firka/flutter/).

Brotli

Firka uses brotli to compress libflutter during the build process to make the app smaller, so building Firka requires you to have brotli in your path

Windows

Download brotli-x64-windows-static.zip from google/brotli
Extract it to somewhere like C:\Users\\dev\brotli
Add the directory (ex. C:\Users\\dev\brotli) to your PATH
Don't forget to restart your IDE or terminal sessions for the PATH variable to update

Linux/MacOS

Install it using your distro's package manager

Keystore

Secrets docs

Flutter l10n

Generating flutter l10n files

flutter gen-l10n --template-arb-file app_hu.arb

Android debug build

The dev build doesn't require using a custom keystore

$ cd firka
$ flutter build apk --debug --target-platform android-arm,android-arm64,android-x64

Android release build

The release build requires using a custom keystore and our custom flutter fork

Setting up our flutter engine fork

$ git clone https://git.firka.app/firka/flutter
$ cd flutter
$ . dev/tools/envsetup.sh
$ gclient sync -D
$ ./dev/tools/build_release.sh
