 ======Build script======
+The build script is available in the **creator** directory. The script is [[https://ant.apache.org/|Apache ANT]] based and it's a simple XML file. It defines several build commands. The default command (start.complete) creates output for iOS, Android and Web deployment.
+The iOS build command requires macOS but won't fail if your system is not macOS.
 =====Requirements=====
-Flutter version ''2.5.2'' is required.
+Java Runtime environment > 8.0
-The build script requires Node.js. Simply check versions:
+=====Commands=====
-  node -v
+====Complete (start.complete)====
-  npm -v
-Download and install Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/ \\
+  cd creator
+  ./build.sh
+or
-Run ''%%npm install%%'' to install all depending npm packages.
+  cd creator
+  build.cmd
+====iOS (start.ios)====
-**(Windows only)** Add the full path of flutterclient/node_modules/.bin/ to %PATH% variables.
+  cd creator
+  ./build.sh start.ios
-=====Commands=====
+====Android (start.android)====
-The results can be found in **deploy** directory.
+  cd creator
+  ./build.sh start.android
+For app signing, a keystore will be used. Our build process needs a file with the name **key.properties**. Put this file in the folder
+//<project>/creator/android//, together with your keystore. It's also possible to put the file in your android project folder. We support both locations.
-====Web====
+The **key.properties** will be used to read all relevant information and should contain:
-  flutter doctor -v
+<code properties>
-  flutter config --enable-web
+keyAlias=<alias>
+keyPassword=<keypassword>
-Start build
+storeFile=<keystore_filename>
+storePassword=<storepassword>
+</code>
-  npm run buildweb
+To support signing, it's important to change your gradle build in folder //<project>/android/app/build.gradle//. We need following changes:
-====Android====
+<code javascript>
+def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
+def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('key.properties')
-  npm run buildandroid
+if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+    keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
-====iOS====
+} else {
+    keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('../creator/android/key.properties')
-  npm run buildios
+    if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+        keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
-====Build number====
+    } else {
+        keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('../../../android/key.properties')
-  npm run increasebuildnumber
+        if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+            keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
+        }
+    }
+}
+</code>
-======Manual======
+and
-=====Web=====
+<code javascript>
+signingConfigs {
+    release {
+        keyAlias keystoreProperties['keyAlias']
+        keyPassword keystoreProperties['keyPassword']
+        storeFile keystoreProperties['storeFile'] ? rootProject.file(keystorePropertiesFile.getParent() + '/' + keystoreProperties['storeFile']) : null
+        storePassword keystoreProperties['storePassword']
+    }
+}
-  flutter doctor -v
+buildTypes {
-  flutter config --enable-web
+    release {
+        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
-Run the web variant:
+    }
+}
+</code>
-  flutter run -d chrome
+A [[https://github.com/sibvisions/flutter_jvx/blob/main/android/app/build.gradle|complete build file]] is available in our project.
+====Web (start.web)====
+  cd creator
+  ./build.sh start.web
+The results will be available in
+  creator/build/install
-Build the release:
+directory.
+=====Updates=====
+To get the latest build script, simply call
-  flutter build web
+  cd creator
+  ./update.sh
-The result can be found in **build/web** directory.
+The latest [[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sibvisions/flutterclient/main/creator/build.xml|build.xml]] will be saved in the creator directory.
