How to build

• Install OpenJDK 17
• Install maven: https://maven.apache.org/install.html
• Setup a database (MariaDB is officially supported)
• Setup an email server or use an existing one (any provider with IMAP support should work)
• Enter credentials for database server, email server and encryption keys in application.properties
• Execute "mvn install" in the root folder

Or you can use Docker and Docker compose. To bring up the server, after setting the required values in src/main/resources/application.properties you can just run below commands:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f

Debugging

• Spring Tool Suite / IntelliJ is recommended for debugging
• Install lombok for your IDE (Not needed for IntelliJ)

alovoa-expo's Issues

[BUG] Missing favicon

Possible solution: expo/expo#21853 (comment)

[Android] [Feature Request] Themed / Monochrome app icon support

https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/launch/icon_design_adaptive#User_Theming

[BUG] Login with email on web not working

Works locally, so it seems to be a security issue

[BUG] Login issues

If you encounter login issues, please post the following info:

• Platform (web/app), OS version and authentication method (E-mail, Google, Facebook).
• Try login in at least 2 more times

Also, login via web on Android using any oAuth provider is not working at the moment (#22), please use the native application.

F-Droid build failed

https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds/log/com.alovoa.expo/15#site-footer

Could you please take a look? Thanks!

If you press "back" it signs you out

Pressing a back button while in the app will sign you out.

Please make the back button function as exit the app, not sign out.

F-Droid can't build

Anyway, let me remove that line...

To honour the JVM settings for this build a single-use Daemon process will be forked. See https://docs.gradle.org/7.5.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#sec:disabling_the_daemon.
Daemon will be stopped at the end of the build

About Location on f-droid

So this basically means when using expo, location feature is unavailable if we are targeting f-droid?

I'm also writing an opensource app, I want to upload it to f-droid, so I'm learning how to do it on your repo, thanks!

Add view for hidden, blocked and liked users

Use a single component for all views, including the likes view

[BUG][Web][Android] Oauth not possible

Tested on Firefox for Android. You get right back to the login screen. Google Oauth works fine.

impossible to sign in

Hi,
I tried to sign in maybe 10 times but always show me the message "an error occured please try again".
I also try with a Google account, same message.
So, impossible to use your app.

Android app - search shows nothing blank screen

Search is just a blank screen.

1. Tried allowing location access
2. Tried forbidding location access

Still just blank screen in any case. (After pink loading circle)

Other screens work fine.

Installed via F-Droid.

Documentation

Config documentation of Alovoa-Expo should be improved, does URL.tsx contain any config options?

[FEATURE] Add verification

Build not reproducable

I am followed instructions from README.md, after yarn start following happens:

app crashing

Hello, I don't understand why,
multiple times when I click on someone who liked me (or same the profile picture)
the app crash...
I don't really understand why.

Also when I press ❤️ to someone, it didn't work.
I need to use the webbrowser to be able to do that.

Regards.
