* add armv7a * disable armv6l, that is lacking SMP atomics * Add Android 8 setting (API Ver 26) * Drop x86_64-linux, this makes no sense with `pkgs' = androidPkgs`. * Drop mis-labled x86_64-linux:lib:support (it was aarch64-android) * Drop x86_64-android, these do not exist in nixpkgs The ones set up were aarch64-android anyway (pkgs' = androidPkgs) * android: support Android 8+, armeabi-v7a (32 bit) (#2012) * test * stubs for allowing to launch the app * more stubs and minSdk lowered to 26 * replaced functions that supported on higher API levels with other functions * animated images on lower API levels and write permission * updated abi filter and scripts for downloading libs * changed compression script for multiple apks * cmake changes --------- Co-authored-by: Avently <7953703+avently@users.noreply.github.com> * update haskell.nix ref * bump hackage * bump haskell.nix (again) * build-android: add armv7 * flake.nix: remove local nixconf This change to flake.nix breaks build-android.sh script by forcing user to input y/n. AFAIK, this cannot be automated and I rather not include workarounds like piping "yes n | nix build ...". * build-android.sh: update nix version * flake.{nix,lock}: testing * flake.{nix,lock}: restore to original * update android/prepare script to use zip archives * update gradle file * android: 4.6-beta.0 (104) * android: abi filter for bundle (#2075) * android: abi filter for bundle * removed log --------- Co-authored-by: Evgeny Poberezkin <2769109+epoberezkin@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Moritz Angermann <moritz.angermann@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Avently <7953703+avently@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: shum <shum@liber.li>
Android App Development
This readme is currently a stub and as such is in development.
Ultimately, this readme will act as a guide to contributing to the develop of the SimpleX android app.

SHA Signature for verification for app links/deep links
In order for the SimpleX app to be automatically adopted for opening links from https://simplex.chat the SHA certificate fingerprint for the App installed on the phone must be in the hosted assetlinks.json file on simplex.chat.
The accepted fingerprints are in the sha256_cert_fingerprints list.
To find your SHA certificate fingerprint perform the following steps.
- Build and install your development version of the app as usual
- From the terminal in Android studio run
adb shell pm get-app-links chat.simplex.app - Copy the signature listed in
signaturesin the result - Add your signature to assetlinks.json in the website repo and make a PR. On approval, wait a few minutes for the changes to propagate to the public website and then you should be able to verify SimpleX.
More information is available here. If there is no response when running the pm get-app-links command, the intents in AndroidManifest.xml are likely misspecified. A verification attempt can be triggered using adb shell pm verify-app-links --re-verify chat.simplex.app.
Note that this is not an issue for the app store build of the app as this is signed with our app store credentials and thus there is a stable signature over users. Developers do not have general access to these credentials for development and testing.
