How to collaborate

Testing and development

1. Clone git repo

2. Install dependencies

   npm install
   

3. Start the app

    npx expo start
   

In the output, you’ll find options to open the app in a

• development build
• Android emulator
• iOS simulator
• Expo Go, a limited sandbox for trying out app development with Expo

You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. This project uses file-based routing.

Build

1. Build an Android App Bundle using EAS

npm install -g eas-cli
eas login
eas build:configure
eas build --platform android

1. Create a list of apks from the bundle using Android bundletool, then unzip the apks file and enter the ‘splits’ directory

java -jar bundletool-all-1.17.2.jar build-apks --bundle=Praxis_v0.3.1.aab --output=Praxis_v0.3.1.apks
unzip Praxis_v0.3.1.apks
cd splits

1. Make a new directory and move your chosen apks to the new directory. Then, use APKEditor to merge these apks into a single apk.

mkdir selected-apks
mv example.apk example2.apk selected-apks/
java -jar APKEditor.jar m -i selected-apks/

1. Sign the apk with Android apksigner and verify the signature

apksigner sign --ks /path/to/keystore.jks merged.apk
apksigner verify -v merged.apk
