Signed builds can be downloaded for every released version from our Release page Those APKs share the same signature that playstore's distributed apks, so you can benefit from automated updates.
We encourage you to participate in this open source project. We love pull requests, bug reports, ideas, (security) code reviews or any kind of positive contribution.
- Open the root folder as an existing project with Android Studio
- TODO DO IT AND CHECK !!! build
In the root folder, you can build directly with gradle using:
./gradlew assembleDebug
or
./gradlew assembleNightly
You might be interested in building this project against local versions of some of the dependencies. This could be done either by using a local maven repository (quite cumbersome), or via Gradle's dependency substitutions (not at all cumbersome!).
Currently, the substitution flow is streamlined for some of the core dependencies via configuration flags in local.properties. You can build against a local checkout of the following dependencies by specifying their local paths:
- application-services, specifying its path via
substitutions.application-services.dir=../application-services- This assumes that you have an
application-servicesproject at the same level in the directory hierarchy as thereference-browser.
- This assumes that you have an
- GeckoView, specifying its path via
dependencySubstitutions.geckoviewTopsrcdir=/path/to/mozilla-central(and, optionally,dependencySubstitutions.geckoviewTopobjdir=/path/to/topobjdir). See Bug 1533465.- This assumes that you have built, packaged, and published your local GeckoView -- but don't worry, the dependency substitution script has the latest instructions for doing that.
Do not forget to run a Gradle sync in Android Studio after changing local.properties. If you specified any substitutions, they will be reflected in the modules list, and you'll be able to modify them from a single Android Studio window.
