fix: Patch process stuck at "Downloading release artifacts"

[JioBani]

App ID: 1263fead-0a8b-42ed-8a7c-d14b2d846f8f

Description

I tried to run the following command to patch, but it doesn't progress beyond the "Downloading release artifacts" step:
shorebird patch --platforms=android --release-version=0.0.1+3

Steps To Reproduce

1. Modify the code(complex changes including FCM integration, notification permission settings, and other native modifications)
2. Run shorebird release android --artifact apk
3. Modify the code (changing a Column to a ListView).
4. Run shorebird patch --platforms=android --release-version=0.0.1+3
5. Downloading release artifacts... (never end)

Expected Behavior

The patch command should complete successfully.

Oh my, I successfully downloaded the release artifacts in 62 minutes.. I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to take this long and still work. After running the command, posting the issue, and having a meal, I still had some time left.

Thanks for the report. It definitely should not take 62 minutes to download artifacts. 😦

Excuse the crude highlighting, but one thing that's very interesting here is that the aab (which I would expect to be quite a bit larger than any of the other release artifacts) downloads in 3.7s while the full set of release artifacts takes 100x that 🤔

Both steps use this utility to download the file, so will need to dig a bit deeper here (https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/blob/main/packages/shorebird_cli/lib/src/artifact_manager.dart#L57).

I too have been experiencing the same phenomenon since last week. It takes at least 2000s~3000s on average.

We had one person report on Discord that the delay went away when they moved from running inside Powershell to another shell. I don't understand why that would be the case, but that's one theory to try. Felix and Bryan continue to investigate.

We just released version 1.4.4, which adds download progress to the CLI output. I'd be curious to know what users who are hitting this issue see (does it stall out at a certain percentage? does the download even begin?)

[bryanoltman]

Another question for those experiencing this issue: which version of Flutter do you have installed?

[gonggamdev03]

If you do the second patch right after the first patch, the time will be shortened.

If you patch again after a certain period of time, it will take a long time again.

flutter version is 3.24.1

In my case it takes so much time because downloading the release artifacts progresses incredibly slowly (although consistently), even though I have fast internet connection. In the Task Manager it looks like Shorebird downloads a few kBs and then pauses for a few seconds before resuming. I only have this issue on Windows, Shorebird on macOS works flawlessly.

I had been able to reproduce this (follow my journey in #2532), but after installing the latest windows update (2024-10 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5044380)), I am not able to reproduce. Do you have that update installed, by any chance?

[felangel]

Fwiw I also spent some time trying to reproduce the download speed issue on windows and couldn't reproduce on my machine

PSVersion: 5.1.22621.4249
Windows 11 Pro
Version 23H2
OS build 22631.4317

[JioBani]

Here is the OS environment at the time the issue occurred:

Edition: Windows 10 Home
Version: 22H2
OS Build: 19045.5011
Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

Currently, Shorebird and several packages have been updated, so I will apply the patch again and provide the Flutter and Shorebird environment details to check if the same issue occurs.

[jakubkrapiec]

After updating Windows (with said update) and Shorebird, the problem still exists on my machine.

@jakubkrapiec :(

If you disable windows defender while you're experiencing the issue (see #2532 (comment)), does it resolve?
