A mobile app for secure-scuttlebutt

MMMMM client for Secure Scuttlebutt

ALPHA version! This is heavily under construction, not ready for real usage.

Install dependencies

Use node v8.9.x and npm v5.6.x.

Mac OS note: You might need realpath, install it through coreutils:

brew update
brew install coreutils

npm install --global react-native-cli

npm install

Build/run in development

Build the "backend" Node.js project:

npm run build-rnnodeapp

Build the worker thread subproject:

npm run build-worker-android

Then build the entire app:

react-native run-android

Important Dependencies

• React Native
• TypeScript
• Cycle.js with xstream
• Pull streams
• react-native-scuttlebot
  • Uses react-native-node under the hood
    • Which in turn uses NodeBase (node.js v7 compiled for android arm devices)
• react-native-workers (fork by staltz)
• react-native-ssb-client
• Patchcore (with depject)

Integration tests

We use Appium and Tape, just plug in a device through USB and run npm run test-e2e-android. This will run tests on top of the release variant of the app, so it that doesn't exist, you must run npm run android-release first.

Releases

To build a release APK, follow these instructions, in short:

1. Put the correct file my-release-key.keystore in the folder android/app/
2. Configure the file ~/.gradle/gradle.properties with the correct values
