Oxygen Updater (Android App)

This repository contains all the code of the Oxygen Updater Android application.

Building and running

Required tools

The application should be buildable with Android Studio v3.4.2 and higher. However, since we use Kotlin + Kotlin build scripts, you might benefit by using Android Studio v4.0.0 and higher. The app targets Android 10/Q (API 29) and the minimum is Android Lollipop (API 21). Make sure you've got both platforms installed!

Key store / signing

Before you can run the non-debug variants of the app, you'll need to create a key store to sign the app. Also, you need to specify its location, alias and credentials in keystore.properties. You can create a key store through Android Studio: Build -> Generate Signed Bundle / APK -> Next -> Create new (under key store path) Then, add the alias, key and store passwords and the file path to keystore.properties.

Note: The file path of the key store is relative to the app folder of the project! It is recommended to save the key store as app/keyStore.jks, as this file is ignored from Git. In the keyStore properties, name it just keyStore.jks.

Example:

storePassword=passw0rd
keyPassword=passw0rd!
keyAlias=my_app_key_name
storeFile=keyStore.jks

The app can be run within the emulator but is limited to no-root features only. To test automatic update installations and other root features, you'll need to run it on a rooted device.
