Rc Release

Run or review an RC release for the AppsFlyer Flutter plugin. Follows the six-stage RC pipeline (RC-PREP, RC-E2E, RC-PUBLISH, RC-SMOKE, RC-PROMOTE, RC-RELEASE) defined in appsflyer-mobile-plugin-tooling. Use when cutting a new RC, debugging a failed rc-release / rc-smoke / promote-release run, or reviewing a promote PR.

Stage map for this plugin

Stage	Workflow file	Notes
`RC-PREP`	`.github/workflows/rc-release.yml`	`prepare-branch` job; cuts `releases/<major>.x.x/<minor>.x/<version>`
`RC-E2E`	`.github/workflows/ios-e2e.yml`, `.github/workflows/android-e2e.yml`	Called via `workflow_call` from RC-release
`RC-PUBLISH`	`.github/workflows/rc-release.yml`	`publish-rc` job; honors `dry_run`
`RC-SMOKE`	`.github/workflows/rc-smoke.yml`	`workflow_run` on RC-release success; manual `workflow_dispatch` for reruns
`RC-PROMOTE`	`.github/workflows/promote-release.yml`	Triggered by `pass QA ready for deploy` label
`RC-RELEASE`	`.github/workflows/production-release.yml`	Triggered by PR merge to `master`

Test plans

E2E (pre-publish, against plugin source): .af-e2e/test-plan.json
Smoke (post-publish, against pub.dev RC): .af-smoke/rc-test-plan.json
Runner: scripts/af-scenario-runner.sh
Local simulator: scripts/simulate-rc-pipeline.sh

How to run an RC

Follow appsflyer-mobile-plugin-tooling/examples/flutter/RELEASE_USER_MANUAL.md steps 1-6. In short: dispatch rc-release.yml with dry_run=false, watch four checks go green on the PR, apply pass QA ready for deploy, merge.

How to debug a red stage

Identify which stage failed from the PR's check status (names map 1:1 to the workflows above).
For E2E: open the workflow run's e2e-report artifact; find first "status": "FAIL"; read evidence.
For RC-PUBLISH: check version collision (bump rcN+1) and PUB_DEV_CREDENTIALS secret.
For RC-SMOKE: rc-smoke-ios-<n> / rc-smoke-android-<n> artifacts contain the smoke JSON reports.
For RC-PROMOTE: the bot leaves a PR comment pointing at the exact reason (missing / wrong conclusion on rc-smoke/pub.dev).

Rules

Never strip -rcN manually and push; RC-PROMOTE is the only sanctioned path.
Never republish the same RC version to pub.dev; bump to rcN+1.
Never merge the promote PR before RC-PROMOTE has succeeded (it updates the PR body when it does).
Never duplicate contract text in this skill; link to the tooling repo.
