Usage

whitecodel_auto_link login

whitecodel_auto_link logout

whitecodel_auto_link

whitecodel_auto_link only-upload

whitecodel_auto_link u

This command will prompt you to enter the file path of the APK or IPA file you want to upload. The u flag is a shorthand for only-upload.

whitecodel_auto_link upload-from-url

whitecodel_auto_link uf

This command will prompt you to enter the file URL of the APK or IPA file you want to upload. The uf flag is a shorthand for upload-from-url.

Build flow

When you run:

whitecodel_auto_link

the CLI now asks for:

build type: apk, ipa, or both
release type: debug, profile, or release
environment: dev or prod
for IPA: iOS export method (development, ad-hoc, app-store, or enterprise)

iOS note

IPA builds use Flutter's native:

flutter build ipa

instead of manually zipping Runner.app. This produces IPA files that better match standard Xcode export behavior for iOS distribution.
