# Instructions and Console Commands for Building and Running the App

## 📌 Environment Setup
The project uses `.env` files to manage environment configurations. Available files:

- `.env` – for the production environment
- `.env_dev` – for the development environment

Before running or building the app, ensure that the appropriate `.env` file is correctly configured.

## 🔧 Code Generation
Before running the app or creating a build, generate the required code:

```sh
flutter pub get
flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
```

To enable automatic code generation on file changes, use:

```sh
dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
```

## 🚀 Running the App

### ▶️ Running in Visual Studio Code
Open the project in VS Code and use the `launch.json` configuration, or run the following command:

```sh
flutter run --flavor dev -t lib/main_dev.dart
```

For the production environment:

```sh
flutter run --flavor prod
```

### ▶️ Running in Android Studio
1. Open the project in **Android Studio**.
2. Go to **Edit Configurations**.
3. Add a new run configuration.
4. Set `Environment Variable: ENV=.env_dev` for dev or `ENV=.env` for prod.
5. Run the app via the IDE or using the terminal:

```sh
flutter run --flavor dev -t lib/main_dev.dart
```

## 📦 Building the App 

### 📲 Building an App Bundle for Release

```sh
flutter build appbundle --flavor prod --target-platform android-arm,android-arm64,android-x64
```

### 📲 Building an APK for Testing

```sh
flutter build apk --flavor dev -t lib/main_dev.dart
```

These commands ensure the app is correctly set up and built according to the selected environment.
