Graysky

Graysky is a Bluesky client written in React Native.

TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/8Q1M4gwt

Play Store beta: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/dev.mozzius.graysky

Getting Started

You'll need pnpm, and some sort of simulator or device to run the app on.

pnpm install

In the /apps/expo directory, build the dev client using EAS:

cd apps/expo
pnpm build:dev-client:ios
// or
pnpm build:dev-client:android

You can then start the expo server with:

pnpm dev

Future Roadmap

  • Change handle
    • own domain
    • bsky.social
    • community handles
  • Push notifications
  • Drafts
  • Lists support
  • Share post as image
  • Pro features
    • Polls
    • Analytics

Android local APK builds

  • Install Android Studio, and the Android SDK
  • Install Oracle Java 11 JDK
  • Make Gradle faster in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx20g -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=2g
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.configureondemand=true
org.gradle.daemon=false
org.gradle.caching=true

You can now either run pnpm build:android to build the app and automatically submit it with eas submit, or if you want to sign a build manually you can do the following:

  • Create a signing key in Android Studio
  • Build it with: eas build --platform android --profile production-apk --non-interactive --local --output="./foo.apk" --wait
  • Sign it with: /Users/alice/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/33.0.0/apksigner sign -ks sideload.jks foo.apk

iOS local builds

pnpm build:ios
