Beta channel

In order to receive updates quicker than others, you need to do two things:

Join the G+ group so you are eligible for testing
Then explicitly enable beta versions of the software in Google Play

As beta testers, please make sure you have a recent backup of the masterseed and all private keys inside Mycelium. Beta testers will experience many bugs. So far, restoring the wallet from masterseed has never been necessary, but we offer no guarantees.

Building

To build everything from source, simply checkout the source and build using gradle on the build system you need:

JDK 1.7

Then you need to use the Android SDK manager to install the following components:

ANDROID_HOME environment variable pointing to the directory where the SDK is installed
Android SDK Tools 22.6.4
SDK Platform Tools 19.0.2
Android SDK build Tools 19.1.0
Android 4.4.2 (API 19) (at least SDK Platform Rev. 3)
Android Extras:
- Android Support Repository rev 5
- Android Support Library rev 19.1
- Google Play services for Froyo rev 12
- Google Play services rev 17
- Google Repository rev 8

The project layout is designed to be used with a recent version of Android Studio (currently 1.1.0)

Build commands

To get the source code, type:

git clone https://github.com/mycelium-com/wallet-android.git
cd wallet-android
git clone https://github.com/mycelium-com/wallet-android-modularization-tools.git
git submodule update --init --recursive

Linux/Mac type:

./gradlew clean test mbw::asProdRel mbw::asBtRel

Windows type:

gradlew.bat clean test mbw::asProdRel mbw::asBtRel

Voila, look into mbw/build/outputs/apk/ to see the generated apk. There are versions for both prodnet and testnet.

Alternatively you can install the latest version from the Play Store.

If you cannot access the Play store, you can obtain the apk directly from the Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet download page.

Deterministic builds

To validate the Mycelium image you obtain from Google Play Store, you can rebuild the Mycelium wallet yourself using Docker and compare both images following these steps:

Get the source as above
Create your own Docker image from our simple Dockerfile
```
  $ docker build . --tag mycelium-wallet
```
Check that this step succeeds by listing the available docker images:
```
  $ docker images | grep mycelium-wallet
```

Use disorderfs to eliminate non-determinism caused by file ordering

  $ mkdir /tmp/s
  $ sudo disorderfs --sort-dirents=yes --reverse-dirents=no --multi-user=yes $PWD /tmp/s
  $ cd /tmp/s

Build Mycelium using Docker
```
  $ mv local.properties local.properties.bak
  $ docker run --rm --volume $(pwd):/project --workdir /project -it mycelium-wallet bash
  # yes | /opt/android-sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;28.0.3"
  # ./gradlew clean :mbw:assProdRel
```
local.properties can break docker compiles. Move it out of the way. Run the mycelium-wallet docker with gradle compilation of mbw. As docker might run as a different user, its generated files will also be "not yours". Make them yours using chown as super user.

The app can now be found in mbw/build/outputs/apk/prodnet/release/mbw-prodnet-release.apk.

As maintainer with release keys you want to run a slightly different command: Add these docker parameters: --volume 'path/to/keys.properties':/project/keys.properties --volume 'path/to/keystore_mbwProd':/project/keystore_mbwProd --volume 'path/to/keystore_mbwTest':/project/keystore_mbwTest Build all these targets :mbw:assBtctRel :mbw:assProdRel :mbw:assBtctDeb :mbw:assProdDeb and to turn the missing release keys into an error, add this gradle option -PenforceReleaseSigning

After this step succeeds, all apks are in /tmp/release_mbw/.

Note: for those who use Docker Toolbox $(pwd) should be under your home user folder since this is the only folder that is shared with VM.

Retrieve Google Play Mycelium APK from your phone Gets package path:

  $ adb shell pm path com.mycelium.wallet
  package:/data/app/com.mycelium.wallet-1/base.apk

Retrieve file:

  $ adb pull /data/app/com.mycelium.wallet-1/base.apk mycelium-signed.apk

Extract content from both apks you want to compare, using ApkTool:

  java -jar ~/path/to/apktool.jar d mbw-prodnet-release.apk
  java -jar ~/path/to/apktool.jar d mycelium-signed.apk

Compare signed apk with unsigned locally built apk using a diff tool such as meld

  diff --brief --recursive  mbw-prodnet-release/ mycelium-signed/ | grep -v "META-INF/CERT.RSA\|META-INF/CERT.SF\|META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"

The expected difference between these files are elements that depend on the signature, that only the project's maintainer can reproduce:
- original/META-INF/CERT.RSA
- original/META-INF/CERT.SF
- original/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
