Welcome to your comprehensive guide on managing the Voiceliner project, a voice memos-like application designed for both Android and iOS, built using Flutter. This blog will walk you through the steps to get the application running, including how to contribute and tackle common issues you may encounter along the way.

Overview of Voiceliner

Voiceliner captures voice memos on your mobile device with ease. Leveraging native transcription APIs for iOS and the Vosk API for Android, this app provides seamless voice capturing and transcription capabilities. While the codebase may appear a bit messy, contributions are always welcome!

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up the Voiceliner application on your local machine:

1. Install Flutter

• Make sure you have Flutter installed on your system. You can download it from the official Flutter installation guide.

2. Run the Application

With Flutter installed, navigate to your project directory and execute the following command:

flutter run lib/main.dart

Managing Icons

To customize your app’s icon:

Rebuilding Icons

• Place a 1024×1024 icon image in assets/icon/icon.png.
• Run the following command:

flutter pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main

Deploying to App Stores

Deploying your application involves configuring settings for both Android and iOS platforms.

Deployment for Android

In your android/key.properties file, add the following details:

storePassword=keystore password
keyPassword=key password
keyAlias=key alias
storeFile=keystore location

Setting Up Continuous Integration

Consider the following environment variables for continuous integration:

• APPLE_ID: Your Apple account email
• APP_IDENTIFIER: iOS app identifier
• PLAY_APP_IDENTIFIER: Android app identifier
• TEAM_ID: Refer to Fastlane documentation
• And more as described above.

Troubleshooting

If you run into any issues when building or deploying Voiceliner, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure all dependencies are correctly installed and updated.
• Check Flutter and Fastlane documentation for updates or changes in commands.
• Verify your environmental variables and properties in the respective files.
• Look into logs for errors that might provide insight into specific issues.
• For more insights, updates, or to collaborate on AI development projects, stay connected with fxis.ai.

Upgrading Fastlane

To keep your Fastlane version up to date, simply run the following command:

bundle update fastlane

Repeat this for both iOS and Android environments.

Fastlane Match Notes

While using Fastlane, particularly with the command fastlane match development --generate_apple_certs, ensure you specify “*” as the bundle id. This guarantees the creation of provisioning profiles for both the .debug bundle identifier and the main one.
