This repository contains tags to make tracking versions easier.

Versions are in form "v$UPSTREAM$RELEASE" where:

$UPSTREAM is the public, visible version of upstream.
$RELEASE is a letter ([a-z]) indicating minor releases between official versions (sometimes, upstream is updated without relating the changes to an specific version).

Important:

You need the Android NDK, revision 16b, Go(Golang) and Ninja to build the apk.
Don't forget to include the submodules when you clone:
- git clone --recursive https://github.com/Telegram-FOSS-Team/Telegram-FOSS.git
Build native FFmpeg and BoringSSL dependencies:
- Go to the TMessagesProj/jni folder and execute the following (define the paths to your NDK and Ninja):
```
export NDK=[PATH_TO_NDK_R16B]
export NINJA_PATH=[PATH_TO_NINJA]
./build_ffmpeg_clang.sh
./patch_boringssl.sh
./build_boringssl.sh
```
For the whole project set NDK to r16b
If you want to publish a modified version of Telegram:
- You should get your own API key here: https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id and create a file called API_KEYS in the source root directory. The contents should look like this:
```
APP_ID = 12345
APP_HASH = aaaaaaaabbbbbbccccccfffffff001122
```
- Do not use the name Telegram and the standard logo (white paper plane in a blue circle) for your app — or make sure your users understand that it is unofficial
- Take good care of your users' data and privacy
- Please remember to publish your code too in order to comply with the licenses
Building under Windows may be problematic and won't be fixed

The project can be built with Android Studio or from the command line with gradle:

./gradlew assembleAfatRelease
