android_set_version_name does not work with Flutter

[dsgriffin]

Using android_set_version_name without options sets versionName to an empty string. If you run it twice it then completely removes the property from gradle.

If you instead try setting a specific version (e.g. android_set_version_name(version_name: '1.0.0')) it sets an invalid raw numeric instead of a string

def flutterVersionName = 1.0.0 // Error's when building - invalid format
if (flutterVersionName == null) {
    flutterVersionName = '1.0'
}

You need to use something like this:

lane :staging do 
android_set_version_name(
    version_name: '"1.6.3"'
)
android_set_version_code(
    version_code: 18
)
...
..
.

Thanks, @pablopantaleon, this works! I think we need to update the documentation.

Well, that PR provides a description to a possible solution. It actually solves the issue, although supporting the use case in the code itself would be the best.

But it doesn't work, if you're trying to use variable instead of just string.

android_set_version_name(version_name: '"#{version_name}"')

In build.gradle it looks like it

versionName "#{version_name}"

android_set_version_name(version_name: %Q["#{version_name}"])

android_set_version_name(version_name: %Q["#{version_name}"])

this works for one time. When i run it again it throughs then the same error and the version looks like this in build.gradle ""2.0.0""

Solution for me was that i just put single quotes for version number like this %Q['#{version_name}']
