Export Setup Guide (load on demand)

Editor Export UI walkthrough lives in Official Documentation. Load this for preset INI examples, CLI flags, and platform checklists — automation scripts are in scripts/.

Install templates

Editor → Manage Export Templates → Download (match project Godot version, e.g. 4.7).

export_presets.cfg sketch

[preset.0]
name="Windows Desktop"
platform="Windows Desktop"
runnable=true
export_path="builds/windows/game.exe"

[preset.0.options]
binary_format/64_bits=true
application/icon="res://icon.ico"

Command-line export

godot --headless --export-release "Windows Desktop" builds/game.exe
godot --headless --export-debug "Windows Desktop" builds/game_debug.exe
godot --headless --export-pack "Windows Desktop" builds/game.pck

CI: export_ci_github_actions.yml — pin 4.7, not legacy 4.2 images.

Platform checklists

Android

• Android SDK + OpenJDK 17
• Keystore via env: export_android_signing_env.ps1
• NEVER commit keystore passwords

iOS / macOS

• Xcode + provisioning (iOS)
• macOS: Developer ID + notarization — export_macos_notarize_cmd.ps1

Web

• Thread support / SharedArrayBuffer requirements
• VRAM compression (ETC2/ASTC)

Feature flags at runtime

if OS.has_feature("web"):
	pass
if OS.has_feature("mobile"):
	pass
if OS.has_feature("release"):
	# strip debug consoles
	pass

Manager: export_feature_flag_manager.gd

Build size optimization

• Export filters: exclude *.md, docs/*, .psd
• .gdignore in dev-only folders
• Release template + debug off
• Custom strip: export_custom_build_stripper.py

Version string sync

export_version_sync.gd, version_manager.gd — sync git tag → application/config/version.

PCK patching

func _load_patch(patch_path: String) -> bool:
	if FileAccess.file_exists(patch_path):
		return ProjectSettings.load_resource_pack(patch_path, true)
	return false

Full loader: export_pck_patch_loader.gd

VRAM compression audit

SteamPipe

export_steam_upload.ps1 + app_build.vdf — credentials via env vars only.

Universal export loop

export_universal_manager.gd — iterate export_presets.cfg presets headlessly.
