I've been compiling and running Signal on Android for years. Every week I check the git repository for new tags, check them out, recompile a new signed build, then update my phone.
- xorcist 9y agoCare to share how you do this? Last time I tried, my self compiled Signal wouldn't work with Signal's servers. I just assumed I needed some sort of key. Perhaps my problem was something else? A self built Signal would go a long way to be usable for me. One that didn't depend on Google Services would be even better.
- aorth 9y agoSure. You should just open the project in Android Studio and it will download all the dependencies it needs. After that it's more fun to compile from the command line, you just need to create a key and then make sure local.properties and signing.properties are filled in correctly[0] and then run `./gradlew aR` to build a signed release build with your own key.
