Solar mobile apps

Development

Install the dependencies:

npm install

Navigate to cordova folder:

cd cordova/

Install cordova dependencies:

npm install

Android

Create the Android platform:

npm run install:android

Create the development build:

npm run dev:android

Follow the steps in Cordova Android - Installing the Requirements to setup your development environment.

In Android Studio choose "Import project" and select the cordova/platforms/android folder. You should now be able to run the app on device or emulator.

iOS

Create the iOS platform:

npm run install:ios

Create the development build:

npm run dev:ios

Troubleshooting: In case you see the infamous error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance, you need to run:

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Follow the steps in Cordova iOS - Installing the Requirements to setup your development environment.

Open the Project folder in Xcode:

open ./platforms/ios/Solar.xcworkspace/

You can now select a device from the dropdown in the upper-left corner and run the application.

Production build

Follow the setup of the development builds but instead of npm run dev:android/ios use:

npm run build:android
npm run build:ios

Creating signed builds

Android

Make sure that you have access to the required .keystore file.

Create a signing.env file inside of the cordova/ directory. Insert the path to the keystore file and the alias of the signing key.

KEYSTORE_LOCATION=/location/of/my.keystore
SIGNINGKEY_ALIAS=AliasOfMyKey

Run the following npm script to start the build process of the signed apk.

npm run build:android:signed

Enter the passwords for keystore and key when prompted. The location of the generated .apk file will appear in the output log once the build process succeeds.

Troubleshooting

General build issues

If the build fails, try pruning and re-installing all platform-specific code first.

cd cordova/
rm -rf plugins/
npm run remove:android && npm run remove:ios
npm run install:ios    # or `install:android`

Now try building the app again.

Xcode does not support iOS version

You can hack your way around a local Xcode version that does not support your attached iPhone's OS version. Patch your Xcode using the device support files from here:
