-## Getting Started
+## Getting Started on Android
 
-This project is a starting point for a Flutter application.
+## Flavors
 
-A few resources to get you started if this is your first Flutter project:
+### Application appearance & Title
+* `stable` : For main releases
+* `beta` : For intermediate releases
 
-- [Lab: Write your first Flutter app](https://flutter.io/docs/get-started/codelab)
-- [Cookbook: Useful Flutter samples](https://flutter.io/docs/cookbook)
 
-For help getting started with Flutter, view our 
-[online documentation](https://flutter.io/docs), which offers tutorials, 
-samples, guidance on mobile development, and a full API reference.
+## Build types
+
+### Beta
+No special configuration is required. Use the `lib/main_dev.dart` file as entrypoint to the application.
+
+### Releases
+To make release builds, the application needs to be signed. Create a file named `key.properties` in the android directory with the following content: 
+```
+storePassword=store password
+keyPassword=key password
+keyAlias=key alias
+storeFile=path to keystore file
+```
+
+Use the `lib/main_online.dart` as entry point to the application.
+
+### Building
+Now choose a flavor and build the application using :
+```sh
+# Generic command
+flutter build apk --flavor BUILD_FLAVOR -t ENTRY_POINT
+
+# Example
+flutter build apk --flavor beta -t lib/main_online.dart
+```
