```

Use latest release for particular channel:

```yaml
steps:

```

Build for iOS (macOS only):

```yaml

      with:
        channel: 'stable'

```

Build for the web:

```yaml

```

Build for Windows:

```yaml
jobs:

   runs-on: windows-latest
   steps:
     - uses: actions/checkout@v4
     - uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
       with:
         channel: 'stable'
     - run: flutter build windows
```

Build for Linux desktop:

```yaml
jobs:
 build:
   runs-on: ubuntu-latest
   steps:
     - uses: actions/checkout@v4
     - uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
       with:
         channel: 'stable'
     - run: |
        sudo apt-get update -y
        sudo apt-get install -y ninja-build libgtk-3-dev
     - run: flutter build linux
```

Build for macOS desktop:

```yaml
jobs:
 build:
   runs-on: macos-latest
   steps:
     - uses: actions/checkout@v4
     - uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
       with:
         channel: 'stable'
     - run: flutter build macos
```

Integration with `actions/cache`:

```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
  with:
    channel: 'stable'
    cache: true
    cache-key: 'flutter-:os:-:channel:-:version:-:arch:-:hash:' # optional, change this to force refresh cache
    cache-path: '${{ runner.tool_cache }}/flutter/:channel:-:version:-:arch:' # optional, change this to specify the cache path
    pub-cache-key: 'flutter-pub:os:-:channel:-:version:-:arch:-:hash:' # optional, change this to force refresh cache of dart pub get dependencies
    pub-cache-path: '${{ runner.tool_cache }}/flutter/:channel:-:version:-:arch:' # optional, change this to specify the cache path
- run: flutter --version
```

Note: `cache-key`, `pub-cache-key`, and `cache-path` has support for several dynamic values:

- `:os:`
- `:channel:`
- `:version:`
- `:arch:`
- `:hash:`
- `:sha256:`

Use outputs from `flutter-action`:

```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- id: flutter-action
  uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
  with:
    channel: 'stable'
- run: |
    echo CACHE-PATH=${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.CACHE-PATH }}
    echo CACHE-KEY=${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.CACHE-KEY }}
    echo CHANNEL=${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.CHANNEL }}
    echo VERSION=${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.VERSION }}
    echo ARCHITECTURE=${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.ARCHITECTURE }}
    echo PUB-CACHE-PATH=${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.PUB-CACHE-PATH }}
    echo PUB-CACHE-KEY=${{ steps.flutter-action.outputs.PUB-CACHE-KEY }}
  shell: bash
```
