All Open Source Apps are subject to, and may only be used and/or commercialized in accordance with, the Terms of Use applicable to the Wire Application, which can be found at https://wire.com/legal/#terms.

Wire Android Reloaded

What is included in the open source client

The project in this repository contains the Wire for Android client project. You can build the project yourself. However, there are some differences with the binary Wire client available on the Play Store. These differences are:

  • the open source project does not include the API keys of 3rd party services.
  • the open source project links against the open source Wire audio-video-signaling (AVS) library. The binary Play Store client links against an AVS version that contains proprietary improvements for the call quality.

Required software

In order to build Wire for Android locally, it is necessary to have the following tools installed:

  • JDK 17
  • Android SDK
  • Android NDK

Gradle

These are the available gradle tasks via command line:

  • ./gradlew compileApp: Compiles the Wire Android Client
  • ./gradlew assembleApp: Assembles the Wire Android Client
  • ./gradlew runApp: Assembles and runs the Wire Android Client in the connected device.
  • ./gradlew runUnitTests: Runs all Unit Tests.
  • ./gradlew runAcceptanceTests: Runs all Acceptance Tests in the connected device.
  • ./gradlew testCoverage: Generates a report for test code coverage
  • ./gradlew staticCodeAnalysis: Runs static code analysis on the Wire Android codebase

Android Studio

Import the project as a gradle project by browsing to the root path of the build.gradle.kts file of your project's directory.

Typical build issues

It might be that after cloning the Android Reloaded project, some build issues appear on your IDE (IntelliJ or Android studio). To avoid most of these, make sure that:

  • After cloning the Android Reloaded project, you have run git submodule update --init --recursive (to init any needed configuration within the embedded Kalium submodule project)
  • There is a valid SDK path on your local.properties AND kalium/local.properties files pointing to the Android SDK folder. In Mac, that folder can be usually found under sdk.dir=/Users/YOUR_USER_FOLDER/Library/Android/sdk. The IDE will not create kalium/local.properties automatically, so you might want to copy/paste the one in the project root
  • When you've already started working on the project adding some commits, it might occur that your local build breaks, if that is the case, make sure you've updated the kalium submodule reference by running: git submodule update --remote --merge
