* Fixes service issues - no more crashes after start of a service with battery optimization enabled - no more service restarts after the app exit with disabled private notifications * Disable service restart even after reboot if the user didn't allow this * [Experimental] Disabling logic of start up process from application process. The same is enabled in a service anyway - every application process creation makes the service running even in situations when it's not needed. For example, RescheduleReceiver from WorkManager receives boot completed event and it triggers service start up * Returned unneeded part of code. It may be useful (in theory) if user's device doesn't allow any services to be started (it's something that should never happen) Co-authored-by: Evgeny Poberezkin <2769109+epoberezkin@users.noreply.github.com>
Android App Development
This readme is currently a stub and as such is in development.
Ultimately, this readme will act as a guide to contributing to the develop of the SimpleX android app.

SHA Signature for verification for app links/deep links
In order for the SimpleX app to be automatically adopted for opening links from https://simplex.chat the SHA certificate fingerprint for the App installed on the phone must be in the hosted assetlinks.json file on simplex.chat.
The accepted fingerprints are in the sha256_cert_fingerprints list.
To find your SHA certificate fingerprint perform the following steps.
- Build and install your development version of the app as usual
- From the terminal in Android studio run
adb shell pm get-app-links chat.simplex.app - Copy the signature listed in
signaturesin the result - Add your signature to assetlinks.json in the website repo and make a PR. On approval, wait a few minutes for the changes to propagate to the public website and then you should be able to verify SimpleX.
More information is available here. If there is no response when running the pm get-app-links command, the intents in AndroidManifest.xml are likely misspecified. A verification attempt can be triggered using adb shell pm verify-app-links --re-verify chat.simplex.app.
Note that this is not an issue for the app store build of the app as this is signed with our app store credentials and thus there is a stable signature over users. Developers do not have general access to these credentials for development and testing.
