Failed to build

[IzzySoft]

I tried building the app from source, going by the steps in the workflow:

build:
  - sed -r '/signingConfigs.release/d' -i android/app/build.gradle
  - git clone -b 3.24.5 https://github.com/flutter/flutter
  - export PUB_CACHE=${PWD}/.pub-cache
  - flutter/bin/flutter config --no-analytics
  - flutter/bin/flutter pub get
  - flutter/bin/flutter build apk --release --split-per-abi --target-platform=android-arm64
build_home_dir: /home/runner
build_repo_dir: /home/runner/work/flut-renamer/flut-renamer

  extra_packages:

    - libblkid1
    - liblzma5
  image: debian:bookworm-slim
  jdk: openjdk-17-jdk-headless

But the build fails when it invokes gradle:

Downloading android-x64-release/linux-x64 tools...                 105ms

Running Gradle task 'assembleRelease'...

As you can see, I even reflected the Github environment with the home and repo directories. Any hints what I might have missed?

Btw, instead of specifying a "moving target" like stable, could you maybe add the flutter version you use as git submodule here, or at least specify it in pubspec.yaml?

environment:
  sdk: '>=3.0.0 <4.0.0'
  flutter: 3.24.5

That would help reproducing a build even months later (and yes, the reason I try to build your app is Reproducible Builds – see Reproducible Builds, special client support and more at IzzyOnDroid).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks, I'll take a look.

[IzzySoft]

Found something, @sun-jiao?

[sun-jiao]

I'll fix the build on the newest flutter and use a fixed version in the script in the next week.

[sun-jiao]

@IzzySoft I've updated the android gradle version and flutter dependencies. And I've added a fixed number (same as my local version) in the GitHub actions script. Could you have a try and tell me the result?

[IzzySoft]

Thanks! That builds fine! Now, as the background is "reproducible builds" (see initial post): could you provide me an APK you've build from that commit (d2e5b8e) so I can have them compared by our builder?
