google-services for push notifications. In order to compile the app you need to download your own config file google-services.json. Once downloaded, copy it to the ./app/ folder. The config file contains Google-provided passwords and as such cannot be shared. If you don't do it the app will crash with non-obvious exceptions. The Google-provided server key must be copied to tinode.conf, see details here.

The contacts.vcf contains a list of contacts which can be used for testing. Push it to your emulator using

adb push contacts.vcf /sdcard/contacts.vcf
