3. curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shorebirdtech/install/main/install.s h -sSf | bash (Mac/Linux) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shorebirdtech/install/main/install.p s1'|iex (windows) Getting started
4. This command configures your Flutter project to use Shorebird and creates a shorebird.yaml file which contains an app_id and uniquely Identifies your app during code push. Refer to the image below. shorebird init
5. To start pushing updates, you will need to create a release. This command creates a production-ready release of your app and submits your app to Shorebird and by default, it creates an app bundle (.aab). You can also add the Flutter version you are currently running with shorebird release android --flutter-version=3.19.0 or shorebird release ios --flutter-version=3.19.0.where 3.19.0 is the version of Flutter you are currently running on your machine. shorebird release android/ ios
6. You can preview your release on your physical device (android/ios) or emulator with shorebird preview. shorebird preview
7. Once you have published a release of your app, you can push updates using one of the shorebird patch commands. i.e shorebird patch android or shorebird patch ios. This command does the following: 1. Builds the artifacts for the update. 2. Downloads the corresponding release artifacts. 3. Generates a patch using the diff between the release and the current changes. 4. Uploads the patch artifacts to the Shorebird backend. 5. Promotes the patch to the stable channel. shorebird patch
