Hi, I have the following issue: bundle exec fastlane ios_beta_app fails at the end I tried different paths for the version.yml the lane directory is: _/Users/myuser/AndroidStudioProjects/any_drivestudent/ios/fastlane while the version.yml and pubspec.yaml are in the root

[17:51:01]: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - ../../version.yml

    end
end

Please suggest what can be done? Thanks a lot

Hello, it looks like the plugin was unable to find the path to your version.yml Can you show me your folder structure?

[mikeRozen]

Agree so I tried different paths, and had the same result. (../../version.yml , /../../version.yml, ./version.yml)

[davormaricdev]

Setting your path to be one level up should work if you run fastlane [command] from ios folder:

flutter_version_manager(
            arguments: "-patch",
            yml: "../version.yml",
            pubspec: "../pubspec.yaml")

You can read more about how fastlane handles directories here.

However, I strongly recommend that you move fastlane one level up so you can use it to build and deploy both android and iOS applications from one place. In order to do so, please follow these steps:

• Go to the root of your flutter application and run fastlane init (ignore warnings about missing XCode directory)
• Run fastlane add_plugin flutter_version_manager and follow the procedure
• Create version.yml file as specified here
• Navigate to the fastlane folder
• Open Pluginfile and add gem 'git' at the end
• Create new Appfile and add test lane which you can find here
• Go back to the root of your flutter application and try running fastlane test from your command line and see if that works.

Note: If you experience the .git: [!] path does not exist (ArgumentError) error, you should add optional git_repo argument which should point out to the folder containing a .git folder.

Hi, So indeed according to docs every plugin runs in the root directory (which I believe in my case it's IOS or Android folder ), by changing to what you suggested and adding the _gitrepo the plugin finished successfully BUT it doesn't get uploaded to firebase for some reason I tried to change the minor, patch number but still, I don't see it in Firebase, any suggestions?

[davormaricdev]

I haven't worked with firebase deployment that much, but I'd be best if you called flutter_version_manager followed by flutter build ios before build_app to ensure that the build number and version name is applied correctly
