SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill manages the complexity of Over-The-Air (OTA) updates for Flutter applications, ensuring that patches are deployed correctly without triggering unnecessary full release cycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Patch Management: Automatically handles Dart-only updates via Shorebird patches to keep the app current without requiring store reviews.
  • Release Guardrails: Provides strict logic for when a full native release is required, preventing versioning conflicts and signature mismatches.
  • Use Case: When a critical UI bug is discovered in the production app, use this skill to verify if a patch is sufficient or if a full native build is required, ensuring the correct deployment path is followed.

Quick Start

Use the shorebird-ota-workflow skill to determine the deployment strategy for the latest changes in the lib directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy OTA patches for a Flutter app without triggering a full store release?▼

To deploy OTA patches for a Flutter app without triggering a full release, you use Shorebird to push Dart-only updates directly to devices, bypassing app store review cycles and keeping the production app current instantly.

What is the difference between a Shorebird patch and a full native Flutter release?▼

A Shorebird patch updates only Dart code over-the-air without requiring store reviews, whereas a full native Flutter release is required when native code changes occur, preventing versioning conflicts and signature mismatches.

How do I integrate Shorebird OTA updates into my CI/CD pipeline for Flutter?▼

You integrate Shorebird OTA updates into your CI/CD pipeline by managing build numbers and version control automatically, ensuring the correct deployment paths are followed for your mobile release cycles.

When should I use OTA patching instead of a full native build for my Flutter app?▼

You should use OTA patching for Dart-only updates like critical UI bug fixes, but you must initiate a full native build whenever there are native code changes to ensure deployment compliance and prevent patching errors.

What are the limitations of using Shorebird patches for Flutter deployment?▼

Shorebird patches are limited to Dart-only code changes; deploying native code changes requires a full native release to prevent versioning conflicts, signature mismatches, and deployment errors during the patching process.
