An article highlighting some of the gotchas encountered during development

Development & Testing

Prerequisites

• Install NativeScript. If on Linux, note the advanced steps from Step 3
• You need a app/App_Resources/Android/google-services.dev.json (how to get it)
  • (essentially you need a firebase project's google-services.json, file obtained in the process of setting up an android sdk through the Firebase Console)
• You need an emulator or an Android phone (with developer mode ON & USB Debugging enabled)

Run locally

• You need the IP of a running para_api server set in app/app_config.json
  • API documentation
• tns run android

Test locally

• No para_api server is needed (it's mocked)
• tns test android

Build a release .apk

NativeScript docs

• you need to have a app/App_Resources/Android/google-services.release.json file (available to collaborators only).
• set env vars required in package.json -> scripts-> release
  • You need a release jks key to sign the package
• npm run release

Building without the --release flag requires just the google-services.dev.json.
