Gitea Actions - Flutter Release Workflow

This workflow automatically builds and releases rmtPocketWatcher Flutter app for Windows and Android when you push a version tag.

🚀 Current Build Targets

Windows: Native desktop application (.zip)
Android: APK package (.apk)

📱 Migration from Electron

⚠️ ELECTRON VERSION DEPRECATED: The Electron version has been replaced with Flutter for better cross-platform support, native performance, and mobile compatibility.

How to Trigger a Release

Update version in flutter_app/pubspec.yaml:
```
version: 1.2.3+4  # Update this line
```

Push changes to main branch:

git add flutter_app/pubspec.yaml
git commit -m "Bump version to 1.2.3"
git push origin main

The workflow will automatically:
- Build Windows desktop application
- Build Android APK
- Create a GitHub/Gitea release with both binaries
- Include release notes with download instructions

🔧 Manual Release Build

To trigger a manual release build:

Go to Actions tab in your repository
Select "Flutter Release" workflow
Click "Run workflow"

This will create production builds for both Windows and Android and publish a release.
