Tournesol app

The mobile application for Tournesol.

See the wiki page Contribute to Tournesol for details.

Dev setup

This project uses React Native.

React Native applications are written in JavaScript using React components, and generate native UI elements at runtime.

It should support Android and iOS, although we only support Android until further notice.

Follow https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup to setup the environment, then launch the application :

• Create a .env file with configuration at the root of the project (see below)
• If you run a server locally (see BASE_API_URL in configuration), map the 8000 port to the one on your device using adb reverse tcp:8000 tcp:8000
• Launch Metro with npx react-native start
• Launch the application using npx react-native run-android

Configuration

Configuration is handled using react-native-config. Create a .env file at the root of the project with the following items:

# Use https://staging.tournesol.app in dev
BASE_API_URL=https://tournesol.app
# Tournesol introduction video
TOURNESOL_YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID=xSqqXN0D4fY

Android Application

The Android application is available on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesolapp.

To release a new version, you can generate a signed AAB bundle (see below) and then upload it using the Google Play Console (you need access to the Tournesol account).

Generating a signed AAB bundle

This bundle needs to be signed with a local key, although the final APK released on the Play Store will be automatically signed using the Play Console and the dedicated Tournesol account.
