# Description
|
|
|
|
This document provides information on how to start developing Status App.
|
|
|
|
# Getting Started
|
|
|
|
To start developing start a shell for platform you are interested in.
|
|
```
|
|
make shell TARGET=android
|
|
```
|
|
This step will take a while the first time as it will download all dependencies.
|
|
|
|
# Development
|
|
|
|
There are three steps necessary to start development, in this case for Android:
|
|
|
|
1. `make run-clojure` - Compiles Clojure into JavaScript, watches for changes on cljs files, and hot-reloads code in the app.
|
|
2. `make run-metro` - Starts metro bundler and watches JavaScript code.
|
|
3. `make run-android` or `make run-ios` - Builds the Android/iOS app and starts it on the device.
|
|
|
|
The first two will continue watching for changes and keep re-building the app. They need to be ready first.
|
|
The last one will exit once the app is up and ready.
|
|
|
|
## Simulators and Devices
|
|
### Android
|
|
|
|
You need to have an emulator like [AVD](https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator), or [Genymotion](#genymotion-virtualization), or a real device running and visible to [adb](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb), before you run `make run-android`.
|
|
|
|
### iOS
|
|
|
|
You can specify the simulator type by adding the `SIMULATOR` flag:
|
|
```sh
|
|
make run-ios SIMULATOR="iPhone 11 Pro"
|
|
```
|
|
Some manual steps are necesary for [developing on a physical iOS Device](#physical-ios-device).
|
|
|
|
# Build release
|
|
|
|
To build the app, your can simply run on of the following:
|
|
```
|
|
make release-android
|
|
make release-ios
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more `make` targets run `make help`.
|
|
|
|
# Updating Dependencies
|
|
|
|
* `make nix-update-pods` - iOS CocoaPods dependencies (updates `ios/Podfile` and `ios/Podfile.loc`)
|
|
* `make nix-update-gradle` - Android Gradle/Maven dependencies (updates `nix/deps/gradle/deps.json`)
|
|
* `make nix-update-clojure` - Clojure Maven dependencies (updates `nix/deps/clojure/deps.json`)
|
|
* `make nix-update-gems` - Fastlane Ruby dependencies (updates `fastlane/Gemfile.lock` and `fastlane/gemset.nix`)
|
|
|
|
# Manual Steps
|
|
|
|
There are a few manual steps you might want to do in order to start contributing.
|
|
|
|
## Genymotion Virtualization
|
|
|
|
Optionally set up Genymotion if you don't want to use Android Virtual Device:
|
|
|
|
https://www.genymotion.com
|
|
|
|
## Android Development Environment
|
|
|
|
You can also setup Android Development Environment + Simulator:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Configure GitHub Account
|
|
|
|
The optimal way of pushing to GitHubis using SSH instead of user/pass auth.
|
|
|
|
It's recommented that you [add your public SSH key to your GitHub account](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account).
|
|
|
|
## Configure GPG Keys for signing commits
|
|
|
|
In order to increase security we require all commits in `status-mobile` repo to be signed with a GPG key.
|
|
|
|
Steps:
|
|
1. [Generate a new GPG key](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/generating-a-new-gpg-key)
|
|
2. [Setup Git to use your GPG key](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/telling-git-about-your-signing-key)
|
|
3. [Setup Git to sign commits](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/signing-commits)
|
|
4. [Setup GitHub to validate commits](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/adding-a-new-gpg-key-to-your-github-account)
|
|
|
|
## Physical iOS Device
|
|
|
|
To use a physical iPhone your device UDID must be added to provisioning profiles and your Apple account invited as Developer to Status team.
|
|
|
|
1. [Get your UDID of your iPhone.](https://www.extentia.com/post/finding-the-udid-of-an-ios-device)
|
|
2. Request from someone with access like @cammellos or @jakubgs to
|
|
- Add the UDID to development devices on Apple Developer Portal.
|
|
- Invite your Apple account to be Developer in Status team.
|
|
3. Run a build in XCode using the project from `status-mobile/ios` directory.
|
|
- You might see error: `Select a development team in the Signing & Capabilities editor`
|
|
- Select `STATUS HOLDINGS PTE. LTD.` as the development team and rebuild again.
|
|
|
|
Once build finishes Status should start on your iPhone with its logs in terminal running `make run-metro`.
