Release

Release Skill for flutter_line_sdk

Release a new version of the flutter_line_sdk Flutter plugin. This skill walks through the full release pipeline step by step, with user confirmation at each critical stage.

Input

The user may provide:

• $VERSION — the new version number (e.g. 2.8.0). If not provided, ask for it.
• $BUMP_TYPE — one of major, minor, patch. If provided instead of a version, calculate the new version from the current one.
• Release notes or a description of what changed. If not provided, infer from git log since the last tag.

Pre-flight Checks

Before starting, verify:

1. Working directory is clean (git status --porcelain is empty). If not, warn the user and stop.
2. Current branch is master. If not, warn and stop.
3. Read the current version from pubspec.yaml (line starting with version:).
4. Read the latest git tag (git describe --tags --abbrev=0).
5. Confirm the new version is greater than the current version.

Step 1: Generate Changelog Entry

Collect changes since the last tag:

git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline --no-merges

Also check for merged PRs:

git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline --grep="Merge pull request"

Categorize commits into sections following the existing CHANGELOG.md format:

• ### Added — new features
• ### Changed — changes to existing functionality
• ### Fixed — bug fixes
• ### Removed — removed features

Draft the changelog entry in this format:

## $VERSION

### Added

* Description of addition. [#N](https://github.com/line/flutter_line_sdk/pull/N)

### Fixed

* Description of fix. [#N](https://github.com/line/flutter_line_sdk/issues/N)

Present the draft to the user for review and editing before proceeding.

Step 2: Update CHANGELOG.md

Prepend the approved changelog entry to the top of CHANGELOG.md (before the first ## X.Y.Z line).

Step 3: Bump Version Numbers

Three files must be updated with the new version:

3a. pubspec.yaml

Update version: X.Y.Z on line 3.

3b. ios/flutter_line_sdk.podspec

Update s.version = 'X.Y.Z' on line 3.

3c. example/pubspec.yaml

Update version: X.Y.Z+N on line 4.

• The build number N is the total commit count of the repo: git rev-list --count HEAD.
• Note: this count will increase by 1 after the version bump commit in Step 5, so use the value after committing (i.e. current count + 1 for the upcoming commit).

Step 4: Validate

Run checks to ensure everything is in order:

flutter pub get
flutter analyze --fatal-infos
flutter test

If any check fails, report the error and stop. Do NOT proceed with committing broken code.

Step 5: Commit and Tag

Ask the user for confirmation before committing.

Create a single commit with all version-bump changes:

git add pubspec.yaml ios/flutter_line_sdk.podspec example/pubspec.yaml example/pubspec.lock CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "Bump version to $VERSION"

Then tag:

git tag $VERSION

Step 6: Push

Ask the user for confirmation before pushing.

git push origin master
git push origin $VERSION

Step 7: Create GitHub Release

Create a GitHub release using the changelog entry as the body. The repo is on github.com (NOT git.linecorp.com).

gh release create $VERSION --title "$VERSION" --notes-file - <<'EOF'
<changelog entry content for this version>
EOF

Step 8: Publish to pub.dev

Ask the user for confirmation before publishing. This is irreversible.

flutter pub publish

If the user wants to do a dry run first:

flutter pub publish --dry-run

Post-release Summary

After completing all steps, display a summary:

✓ CHANGELOG.md updated
✓ Version bumped to $VERSION in 3 files
✓ Committed and tagged $VERSION
✓ Pushed to origin/master
✓ GitHub release created: https://github.com/line/flutter_line_sdk/releases/tag/$VERSION
✓ Published to pub.dev

Important Notes

• Never force-push or rewrite history.
• Always confirm with the user before: committing, pushing, creating the GitHub release, and publishing to pub.dev.
• If anything goes wrong mid-process, explain the current state clearly so the user can decide how to proceed.
• The GitHub repo is line/flutter_line_sdk on github.com. Do NOT use GH_HOST=git.linecorp.com.
• Keep commit messages concise and consistent with existing style (see git log --oneline).
