Align capacitor files structute to allow appflow builds

[devMls]

Appflow is a common way to build ans publish capacitor apps

Because manage the publication and because compile un the cloud .It help to avoid a mac for compile to ios

With quasar framework capacitor config is in a subfolder and appflow can't deal with It

I can understand that this IS not a bug but It is a integration problema bettewn 2 tecnologías that should run together

https://ionic.io/docs/appflow/cookbook/appflow-config
Create /appflow.config.json in the root of your project with the following contents:

{
  "apps":
    [
        {
            "appId": "android-app-id",
            "dependencyInstallCommand": "pnpm i",
            "webBuildCommand": "pnpm quasar build -m capacitor -T android",
            "androidPath": "src-capacitor/android",
        },
        {
            "appId": "ios-app-id",
            "dependencyInstallCommand": "pnpm i",
            "webBuildCommand": "pnpm quasar build -m capacitor -T ios",
            "iosPath": "src-capacitor/ios",
        },
    ]
}

I have no experience with the tool, I only checked the docs and found it. Quasar does not have to scaffold this file nor it's an integration problem. It's just a matter of configuration. If you confirm this configuration works, we can consider adding it to the documentation so that other people may benefit from it.

Please let us know whether it works or not.

it didn't worked for me, but I found another config for /appflow.config.json to work with quasar here.

{
    "apps":
    [
        {
            "appId": "yourAppflowAppId",
            "root": "src-capacitor",
            "dependencyInstallCommand": "cd .. && npm install",
            "webBuildCommand": "cd .. && npx quasar build -m capacitor -T ios --skip-pkg && npx quasar build -m capacitor -T android --skip-pkg"
        }
    ]
}

@FelipeSD can you tell us what didn't work, please? Did it give any errors, warnings, etc.?

hello @yusufkandemir,
Yes, it appears that when using Capacitor, Appflow needs to locate the capacitor.config.json file. When I initially ran the build with the previous configuration, it returned the following error:

The solution was to define the root directory as src-capacitor, where the capacitor.config.json is located, and then change directories to install dependencies.
