An example configuration can be found in the config.sample.json file.

1. To build FluffyChat you need Flutter and Rust

2. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/krille-chan/fluffychat.git
cd fluffychat

1. Choose your target platform below and enable support for it. 3.1 If you want, enable Googles Firebase Cloud Messaging:

./scripts/add-firebase-messaging.sh

1. Debug with: flutter run

• Build with: flutter build apk

• Have a Mac with Xcode installed, and set up for Xcode-managed app signing
• If you want automatic app installation to connected devices, make sure you have Apple Configurator installed, with the Automation Tools (cfgutil) enabled
• Set a few environment variables
  • FLUFFYCHAT_NEW_TEAM: the Apple Developer team that your certificates should live under
  • FLUFFYCHAT_NEW_GROUP: the group you want App IDs and such to live under (ie: com.example.fluffychat)
  • FLUFFYCHAT_INSTALL_IPA: set to 1 if you want the IPA to be deployed to connected devices after building, otherwise unset
• Run ./scripts/build-ios.sh

• Build with:

./scripts/prepare-web.sh # To install Vodozemac
flutter build web --release

• Optionally configure by serving a config.json at the same path as fluffychat. An example can be found at config.sample.json. All values there are optional. Please only the values, you really need. If you e.g. only want to change the default homeserver, then only modify the defaultHomeserver key.

• Enable Desktop support in Flutter: https://flutter.dev/desktop

sudo apt install libjsoncpp1 libsecret-1-dev libsecret-1-0 librhash0 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev lld

• Build with one of these:

flutter build linux --release
flutter build windows --release
flutter build macos --release

You need to have docker installed locally! Run the preparation script before every test run:

./scripts/prepare_integration_test.sh

Then run all tests with:

flutter test integration_test/mobile_test.dart
