# OciDeck — Build & Release
How to build OciDeck from source and produce distributable apps.
## Prerequisites
- **Flutter** 3.44+ (stable), **Dart** 3.12+. Check with `flutter --version`.
- A desktop toolchain for your target:
- **macOS**: Xcode + CocoaPods.
- **Windows**: Visual Studio with the "Desktop development with C++" workload.
- **Linux**: see Flutter's Linux desktop prerequisites (GTK, clang, ninja, etc.).
- Enable the desktop target once if needed, e.g. `flutter config --enable-macos-desktop`.
## Get dependencies
```sh
make setup # flutter pub get
```
OciDeck uses two **vendored plugin forks** under `third_party/`, wired through
`pubspec.yaml` (a path dependency for `desktop_multi_window`) and
`dependency_overrides` (`screen_retriever_macos`, and a pin of
`video_player_avfoundation`). `flutter pub get` resolves these automatically — no
extra steps. See [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](ARCHITECTURE.md#vendored-forks).
## Run
```sh
flutter run -d macos # or -d windows / -d linux
```
## Quality gate
```sh
make check # format-check + flutter analyze + full test suite
```
## Building release apps
```sh
flutter build macos --release
flutter build windows --release
flutter build linux --release
```
Artifacts land under `build/<platform>/`.
### macOS notes
- **Swift Package Manager is disabled** for this project (`flutter:`
`config: enable-swift-package-manager: false` in `pubspec.yaml`); CocoaPods is
used instead. The "plugin does not support Swift Package Manager" message
during a build is therefore expected and harmless.
- **`video_player_avfoundation` is pinned** (see `dependency_overrides`) because a
newer release ships a Swift module whose private Objective-C dependency isn't
packaged correctly by CocoaPods on recent Xcode.
- **CocoaPods + Ruby locale**: on some setups `pod install` (run by
`flutter build macos`) fails with `Encoding::CompatibilityError` /
"Unicode Normalization not appropriate for ASCII-8BIT". This is a Ruby/CocoaPods
locale issue, not a project problem. Fix it by forcing a UTF-8 locale:
```sh
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
flutter build macos --release
```
- **Distribution**: code-sign and notarize the `.app` for distribution outside
the App Store (Developer ID + `notarytool`). This is environment-specific and
not automated here.
### Windows / Linux notes
- Windows: distribute the contents of `build/windows/x64/runner/Release/` (or
package with MSIX/an installer).
- Linux: distribute `build/linux/x64/release/bundle/` (or package as a
Flatpak/AppImage/Snap as you prefer).
## CI
`.github/workflows/ci.yml` runs `make check` on Ubuntu for every push and pull
request. It does not build native binaries; it validates formatting, static
analysis, and the test suite (which are platform-independent).
