Anytype.io - Mobile

Build project

Prerequisites

• Download anytype/anytype-android (private) repository from Github

• Create github.properties file in root project folder:

gpr.usr=GITHUB_USER_ID
gpr.key=GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

Your Github ID (starting with '#' character) can be found here. As to your personal Github access token, you can generate it in Developer settings in your profile settings on Github.

• Create apikeys.properties file in root project folder:

amplitude.debug="AMPLITUDE_DEBUG_KEY"
amplitude.release="AMPLITUDE_RELEASE_KEY"
sentry_dsn="SENTRY_DSN_KEY"

Then build project.

IDE setup (optional)

Based on your IDE setup, you might experience problems while accessing/importing auto-generated Kotlin classes from protocol module. These classes are currently declared in very large files, which IDE might not process as expected. If this is your case, go to your Android Studio Help section, select Edit Custom Properties option. There you should set idea.max.intellisense.filesize property as follows:

idea.max.intellisense.filesize=3500
