Fixes #8635 by adding VERSION and BUILD_NUMBER files in the correct nix template and updating bash script in order to prevent it from failing, due to the git repository being not initialized in the nix environment. Move scripts/build_no.sh and scripts/gen_build_no.sh to scripts/version/build_no.sh to prevent Nix from rebuilding when unrelated scripts are touched.

Description
This folder contains configuration for Nix, a purely functional package manager used by the Status app for its build process.
Configuration
The main config file is nix/nix.conf
and its main purpose is defining the binary caches which allow download of packages to avoid having to compile them yourself locally.
NOTE: If you are in Asia you might want to add the https://nix-cache-cn.status.im/
to be first in order of substituters
. Removing cache.nixos.org
could also help.
Shell
In order to access an interactive Nix shell a user should run make shell
.
The Nix shell is started in this repo via the nix/shell.sh
script, which is a wrapper around the nix-shell
command and is intended for use with our main Makefile
. This allows for an implicit use of nix-shell
as the default shell in the Makefile
.
By default the shell starts without any specific target platform, if you want to change that you should export the TARGET_OS
env variable with the right value:
make shell TARGET_OS=android
This way your shell and all other nix commands should run in a setup that is tailored towards Android development.
For valid values you can check the nix/platform.nix
file.
