secant-android-wallet

Note: This is a new and unreleased project. Since it is being developed in the open from the beginning, initially this project will not be fully functional. Some of the documentation below will be aspirational until the implementation is further along. During this initial stage of development, the older Zcash Android Wallet may be a more helpful sample.

This is a sample implementation of a Zcash wallet for Android leveraging the Zcash Android SDK. The goal is to exercise the SDK and related Zcash libraries, as well as demonstrate how the SDK works.

While we aim to continue improving this sample, it is not an official product. We open sourced it as a resource to make wallet development easier for the Zcash ecosystem.

1. Change the app name under gradle.properties
   1. See ZCASH_RELEASE_APP_NAME
2. Change the package name under app/build.gradle.kts
   1. See ZCASH_RELEASE_PACKAGE_NAME
3. Change the support email address under gradle.properties

Known Issues

1. Intel-based machines may have trouble building in Android Studio. The workaround is to add the following line to ~/.gradle/gradle.properties ZCASH_IS_DEPENDENCY_LOCKING_ENABLED=false. See #420 for more information.
2. During builds, a warning will be printed that says "Unable to detect AGP versions for included builds. All projects in the build should use the same AGP version." This can be safely ignored. The version under build-conventions is the same as the version used elsewhere in the application.
3. When the code coverage Gradle property IS_ANDROID_INSTRUMENTATION_TEST_COVERAGE_ENABLED is enabled, the debug app APK cannot be run. The coverage flag should therefore only be set when running automated tests.
4. Test coverage for Compose code will be low, due to known limitations in the interaction between Compose and Jacoco.
5. Adding the espresso-contrib dependency will cause builds to fail, due to conflicting classes. This is a known issue with the Zcash Android SDK.
6. Android Studio will warn about the Gradle checksum. This is a known issue and can be safely ignored.
7. #96 - Release builds print some R8 warnings which can be safely ignored.
8. During app first launch, the following exception starting with AndroidKeysetManager: keyset not found, will generate a new one is printed twice. This exception is not an error, and the code is not being invoked twice.
