# Building CakeWallet for Android
|
|
|
|
## Requirements and Setup
|
|
|
|
The following are the system requirements to build CakeWallet for your Android device.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Ubuntu >= 20.04
|
|
Android SDK 29 or higher (better to have the latest one 33)
|
|
Android NDK 17c
|
|
Flutter 3.10.x or earlier
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building CakeWallet on Android
|
|
|
|
These steps will help you configure and execute a build of CakeWallet from its source code.
|
|
|
|
### 1. Installing Package Dependencies
|
|
|
|
CakeWallet cannot be built without the following packages installed on your build system.
|
|
|
|
- curl
|
|
|
|
- unzip
|
|
|
|
- automake
|
|
|
|
- build-essential
|
|
|
|
- file
|
|
|
|
- pkg-config
|
|
|
|
- git
|
|
|
|
- python
|
|
|
|
- libtool
|
|
|
|
- libtinfo5
|
|
|
|
- cmake
|
|
|
|
- openjdk-8-jre-headless
|
|
|
|
- clang
|
|
|
|
You may easily install them on your build system with the following command:
|
|
|
|
`$ sudo apt-get install -y curl unzip automake build-essential file pkg-config git python libtool libtinfo5 cmake openjdk-8-jre-headless clang`
|
|
|
|
### 2. Installing Android Studio and Android toolchain
|
|
|
|
You may download and install the latest version of Android Studio [here](https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads). After installing, start Android Studio, and go through the "Setup Wizard." This installs the latest Android SDK, Android SDK Command-line Tools, and Android SDK Build-Tools, which are required by CakeWallet. **Be sure you are installing SDK version 28 or later when stepping through the wizard**
|
|
|
|
### 3. Installing Flutter
|
|
|
|
Need to install flutter with version `3.7.x`. For this please check section [Install Flutter manually](https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/linux#install-flutter-manually).
|
|
|
|
### 4. Verify Installations
|
|
|
|
Verify that the Android toolchain, Flutter, and Android Studio have been correctly installed on your system with the following command:
|
|
|
|
`$ flutter doctor`
|
|
|
|
The output of this command will appear like this, indicating successful installations. If there are problems with your installation, they **must** be corrected before proceeding.
|
|
```
|
|
Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):
|
|
[✓] Flutter (Channel stable, 3.10.x, on Linux, locale en_US.UTF-8)
|
|
[✓] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK version 29 or higher)
|
|
[✓] Android Studio (version 4.0 or higher)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 5. Generate a secure keystore for Android
|
|
|
|
`$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore $HOME/key.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias key`
|
|
|
|
You will be prompted to create two passwords. First you will be prompted for the "store password", followed by a "key password" towards the end of the creation process. **TAKE NOTE OF THESE PASSWORDS!** You will need them in later steps.
|
|
|
|
### 6. Acquiring the CakeWallet Source Code
|
|
|
|
Create the directory that will be use to store the CakeWallet source...
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/android
|
|
$ sudo chown $USER /opt/android
|
|
$ cd /opt/android
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
..and download the source code into that directory.
|
|
|
|
`$ git clone https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet.git --branch main`
|
|
|
|
Proceed into the source code before proceeding with the next steps:
|
|
|
|
`$ cd cake_wallet/scripts/android/`
|
|
|
|
### 7. Installing Android NDK
|
|
|
|
`$ ./install_ndk.sh`
|
|
|
|
### 8. Execute Build & Setup Commands for CakeWallet
|
|
|
|
We need to generate project settings like app name, app icon, package name, etc. For this need to setup environment variables and configure project files.
|
|
|
|
Please pick what app you want to build: cakewallet or monero.com.
|
|
|
|
`$ source ./app_env.sh <cakewallet OR monero.com>`
|
|
(it should be like `$ source ./app_env.sh cakewallet` or `$ source ./app_env.sh monero.com`)
|
|
|
|
Then run configuration script for setup app name, app icon and etc:
|
|
|
|
`$ ./app_config.sh`
|
|
|
|
Build the Monero libraries and their dependencies:
|
|
|
|
`$ ./build_all.sh`
|
|
|
|
Now the dependencies need to be copied into the CakeWallet project with this command:
|
|
|
|
`$ ./copy_monero_deps.sh`
|
|
|
|
It is now time to change back to the base directory of the CakeWallet source code:
|
|
|
|
`$ cd ../../`
|
|
|
|
Install Flutter package dependencies with this command:
|
|
|
|
`$ flutter pub get`
|
|
|
|
Your CakeWallet binary will be built with cryptographic salts, which are used for secure encryption of your data. You may generate these secret salts with the following command:
|
|
|
|
`$ flutter packages pub run tool/generate_new_secrets.dart`
|
|
|
|
Next, we must generate key properties based on the secure keystore you generated for Android (in step 5). **MODIFY THE FOLLOWING COMMAND** with the "store password" and "key password" you assigned when creating your keystore (in step 5).
|
|
|
|
`$ flutter packages pub run tool/generate_android_key_properties.dart keyAlias=key storeFile=$HOME/key.jks storePassword=<store password> keyPassword=<key password>`
|
|
|
|
**REMINDER:** The *above* command will **not** succeed unless you replaced the `storePassword` and `keyPassword` variables with the correct passwords for your keystore.
|
|
|
|
Then we need to generate localization files.
|
|
|
|
`$ flutter packages pub run tool/generate_localization.dart`
|
|
|
|
Finally build mobx models for the app:
|
|
|
|
`$ ./model_generator.sh`
|
|
|
|
### 9. Build!
|
|
|
|
`$ flutter build apk --release`
|
