Recommended way to specify release for sentry_dart_plugin when uploading debug symbols?

[sumanthratna]

I'm building my Flutter app for iOS using flutter build ipa --release --dart-define "TAIKI_API_ENDPOINT=..." --dart-define "SENTRY_DSN=..." --dart-define "SENTRY_RELEASE=..." --dart-define "SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT=release" --obfuscate --split-debug-info=./debug-info. Then, I upload the debug symbols by running dart run sentry_dart_plugin.

sentry_dart_plugin computes the release to be [email protected]+1. Am I supposed to hard-code the SENTRY_RELEASE= when running flutter build before sentry_dart_plugin? Is there a convenient way to run both of these steps such that I don't need to manually specify the release when building, while still having the debug symbols and built app point to the same Sentry release?

Hey, the plugin in this case doesn't know anything about the release you set during the build process so by default it uses the version specificed in puspec.yaml I assume.

What you can also do is update the puspec version, the sentry flutter sdk reads it automatically and sets it as release.

So both plugin and flutter have access to pubspec.yaml

You can automate the release version for both the app build and the debug symbol upload by dynamically setting the SENTRY_RELEASE during the build process. You can extract the version from pubspec.yaml or use a custom script to pass it to both flutter build ipa and sentry_dart_plugin. This ensures that both the app and debug symbols are linked to the same Sentry release without hardcoding it manually.

Also, consider using the [latestdogs](https://doglatest.com/) flag to streamline integration if it's supported by the plugin.
