-Currently, beta channel is required for Flutter WEB:
+======Build script======
-  flutter channel beta
+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.
-  flutter doctor -v
-  flutter config --enable-web
+The iOS build command requires macOS but won't fail if your system is not macOS.
+=====Requirements=====
+Java Runtime environment > 8.0
+=====Commands=====
+====Complete (start.complete)====
+  cd creator
+  ./build.sh
-Run the web variant:
+or
-  flutter run -d chrome
+  cd creator
+  build.cmd
-Build the release:
+====iOS (start.ios)====
-  flutter build web
+  cd creator
+  ./build.sh start.ios
+====Android (start.android)====
+  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.
+The **key.properties** will be used to read all relevant information and should contain:
+<code properties>
+keyAlias=<alias>
+keyPassword=<keypassword>
+storeFile=<keystore_filename>
+storePassword=<storepassword>
+</code>
+To support signing, it's important to change your gradle build in folder //<project>/android/app/build.gradle//. We need following changes:
+<code javascript>
+def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
+def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('key.properties')
+if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+    keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
+} else {
+    keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('../creator/android/key.properties')
+    if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+        keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
+    } else {
+        keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('../../../android/key.properties')
+        if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+            keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
+        }
+    }
+}
+</code>
+and
+<code javascript>
+signingConfigs {
+    release {
+        keyAlias keystoreProperties['keyAlias']
+        keyPassword keystoreProperties['keyPassword']
+        storeFile keystoreProperties['storeFile'] ? rootProject.file(keystorePropertiesFile.getParent() + '/' + keystoreProperties['storeFile']) : null
+        storePassword keystoreProperties['storePassword']
+    }
+}
+buildTypes {
+    release {
+        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
+    }
+}
+</code>
+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
+directory.
+=====Updates=====
+To get the latest build script, simply call
+  cd creator
+  ./update.sh
+The latest [[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sibvisions/flutterclient/main/creator/build.xml|build.xml]] will be saved in the creator directory.
