a bluesky client

Graysky

Graysky is a Bluesky client written in React Native. 🚧 WIP 🚧

I've only tested this on iOS, your mileage may vary on Android.

Getting Started

You'll need pnpm, and some sort of simulator or device to run the app on.

pnpm install

Weird side step - you need to go to apps/expo/app.config.ts and delete the extra field which has an expo project id in it. Sorry, I'll fix this later.

You can then start the expo server with:

pnpm dev:expo

(Note: this is just a shortcut for expo start)

Then just scan the QR code!

Android local APK builds

• Install Android Studio, and the Android SDK
• Install Oracle Java 11 JDK
• Make Gradle faster in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx20g -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=2g
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.configureondemand=true
org.gradle.daemon=false
org.gradle.caching=true

• Create a signing key in Android Studio
• Build it with: eas build --platform android --profile production-apk --non-interactive --local --output="./foo.apk" --wait
• Sign it with: /Users/alice/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/33.0.0/apksigner sign -ks sideload.jks foo.apk
