How To Build

1. Install flutter

2. Clone the repo:

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

3. Choose your target platform below and enable support for it.

3.1 If you want, enable Googles Firebase Cloud Messaging:

git apply ./scripts/enable-android-google-services.patch

4. Debug with: flutter run

Android

• Install CMake from the SDK Manager

• Build with: flutter build apk

iOS / iPadOS

• 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

Web

• Enable web support in Flutter: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/web

• Build with:

./scripts/prepare-web.sh # To install libolm
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. None of these values have to exist, the ones stated here are the default ones. If you e.g. only want to change the default homeserver, then only modify the default_homeserver key.

Desktop (Linux, Windows, macOS)

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

Install custom dependencies (Linux)

sudo apt install libjsoncpp1 libsecret-1-dev libsecret-1-0 librhash0 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libolm3

• Build with one of these:

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

For encryption support you have to install libolm on your system.
