Install

Desktop

Linux

Download from latest release, .AppImage to run on any distribution, .deb for Debian.

Windows

Download from latest release the .exe file.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Flutter SDK (3.8.1 or higher) - Installation guide
• Dart SDK (3.8.1 or higher) - Usually comes with Flutter
• Android Studio - For Android development
• Android SDK - API level 21+ (Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher)
• Java JDK - Version 11 or higher

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/magicgrants/skylight-wallet.git
cd skylight-wallet

2. Install Dependencies

flutter pub get

3. Configure Android Development Environment

1. Install Android Studio and the Android SDK
2. Accept Android licenses:

   flutter doctor --android-licenses

3. Set up a device:
   • Use an Android emulator (AVD Manager in Android Studio), or
   • Connect a physical Android device with USB debugging enabled
4. Verify setup:

   flutter doctor

   This will check for any missing dependencies

Development

Running the App

Debug Mode (Development)

Run the app in debug mode with hot reload:

# Run on connected device or emulator
flutter run

# List available Android devices/emulators
flutter devices

# Run on a specific device
flutter run -d <device_id>

Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a physical device connected before running the app.

Building for Android

Debug APK

Build a debug APK for testing:

flutter build apk --debug

The APK will be located at: build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk

Release APK

Build a debug APK for release:

flutter build apk --release

The APK will be located at: build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk

Split APKs by ABI (smaller file sizes)

flutter build apk --split-per-abi --release

This creates separate APKs for each architecture:

• app-armeabi-v7a-release.apk (32-bit ARM)
• app-arm64-v8a-release.apk (64-bit ARM)
• app-x86_64-release.apk (64-bit x86)

Installing the APK

To install the built APK on your device:

# Install debug APK
flutter install

# Or manually using adb
adb install build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk

Note: Other platforms (iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, Web) are not currently supported but may be added in future releases.

Localization

The app uses Flutter's internationalization framework. To add a new language:

1. Create a new ARB file in lib/l10n/ (e.g., app_es.arb for Spanish)
2. Copy the structure from app_en.arb and translate the strings
3. Run code generation:

   flutter gen-l10n

4. The generated localization files will be in lib/l10n/

Building libmonero_libwallet2_api_c.so

This is needed for the wallet functions and is located at android/app/src/main/jniLibs/<platform>/.

These instructions should work on Ubuntu 22.04. You can use the ubuntu:22.04 Docker image if you don't use Ubuntu as your OS.
