A script to bump the app version, deploy the app to App Store Connect and Firebase Distribution and create a GitHub release with a changelog.

release_app.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Script to deploy a new app update to the alpha environment manually.
#
# This script is not used by CI. It's meant to be run manually to avoid high CI
# build times.
#
# When the compnay has more money, we should only deploy to the alpha track via
# CI and delete this script.

# Requirements:
# - Install Git
# - Sign in to XCode for signing (in most cases you have already done this)
# - Sign configuraitons for Android (`android/key.properties`)
# - Create a new App Store Connect API key
#   (`https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/api`)
# - Add the private key file to `private_keys/AuthKey_7UG2F7CA56.p8` (your key
#   will have a different name, the `privte_keys` directory needs to be on the
#   same level as the pubpsec.yaml)
# - Install the cider package (`dart pub global activate cider``)
# - Install Firebase CLI & authenticate (`npm install -g firebase-tools``)
# - Install GitHub CLI & authenticate (`brew install gh`)
