How to Build

GMS Flavor

To build the GMS (Google Mobile Services) flavor, you must configure your Google project settings and manually import weather icons from Flaticon.

Step 1. Fork or download the 'aaf-easydiary' project.
Step 2. Import the project into Android Studio.
Step 3. Configure 'storeFile' and 'storePassword' in your 'local.properties' file.
       +++++++ local.properties +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
       storeFile=your signing key location
       storePassword=your password
       ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
       +++++++ example ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
       storeFile=C:/dev/android/app-signing.jks
       storePassword=sjdiSDAss3!@#
       ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
       If you do not have a signing key, you can generate one here:

The FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) flavor requires no additional configuration. Note that Google Drive backup is unavailable in this version as it excludes Google Mobile Services. It also uses a simpler set of weather icons.

Note: New features are prioritized for the GMS flavor and may be delayed in the FOSS version.

Step 3. Configure 'storeFile' and 'storePassword' in your 'local.properties' file.
Step 4. Build the project in Android Studio.
       a. Build > Select Build Variant
       b. Select 'fossRelease' and run.
