How to include version and author information in Dart Native on windows
To include version and author information in a Dart Native application on Windows, you can use the flutter_native_splash
and flutter_launcher_icons
packages to customize the application's metadata. Here's how you can do it:
Add Dependencies: Open your Flutter project's
pubspec.yaml
file and add the following dependencies under thedependencies
section:yamldependencies:
flutter_native_splash: ^1.2.1
flutter_launcher_icons: ^0.9.2
Save the file and run
flutter pub get
to fetch the dependencies.Configure Splash Screen: Create a
flutter_native_splash.yaml
file in the root directory of your Flutter project and configure the splash screen with version and author information. For example:yamlimage: assets/images/splash.png
color: "#42a5f5"
android: true
ios: true
version: "1.0.0"
author: "Your Name"
Replace
assets/images/splash.png
with the path to your splash screen image. Modify thecolor
,version
, andauthor
fields according to your requirements.Generate Splash Screen: Run the following command in your project's root directory to generate the splash screen:
bashflutter pub run flutter_native_splash:create
This command will generate platform-specific code and resources for the splash screen.
Configure App Icons: Create an
icons
directory in the root directory of your Flutter project. Inside theicons
directory, place the app icon files for both Android and iOS platforms. Ensure that you have icon files with appropriate sizes and names (e.g.,android.png
,ios.png
, etc.).Generate App Icons: Run the following command in your project's root directory to generate the app icons:
bashflutter pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main
This command will generate the required icons for both Android and iOS platforms.
Build and Run: Build and run your Dart Native application using the appropriate command for your target platform (e.g.,
flutter run
for a simulator/emulator orflutter build
for a release build).
By following these steps, you can include version and author information in your Dart Native application on Windows using the flutter_native_splash
and flutter_launcher_icons
packages. This allows you to customize the splash screen and app icons with the desired metadata.
