Altme

ALTME – THE UNIVERSAL WALLET THAT WORKS FOR YOU The Web 3 revolution is all about redistributing the power to the average consumer. This is why we are building Altme, to help you get control over your data back.

---

Getting Started 🚀

This project contains 3 flavors:

• development
• staging
• production

To run the desired flavor either use the launch configuration in VSCode/Android Studio or use the following commands:

# Development
$ flutter run --flavor development --target lib/main_development.dart

# Staging
$ flutter run --flavor staging --target lib/main_staging.dart

# Production
$ flutter run --flavor production --target lib/main_production.dart

*Altme works on iOS and Android.

---

Common Dependencies

To manually build Altme for either Android or iOS, you will need to install the following dependencies:

• Rust
• Java 7 or higher
• Flutter (dev channel)
• DIDKit/SSI
• PolygonID Flutter SDK

Rust

It is recommended to use rustup to manage your Rust installation.

Java

On Ubuntu you could run:

$ apt update
$ apt install openjdk-8-jdk

For more information, please refer to the documentation of your favorite flavour of Java and your operating system/package manager.

Flutter

Please follow the official instalation instructions available here to install Flutter, don't forget to also install the build dependencies for the platform you will be building (Android SDK/NDK, Xcode, etc).

We currently only support build this project using the dev channel of Flutter.

To change your installation to the dev channel, please execute the following command:

$ flutter channel dev
$ flutter upgrade

To confirm that everything is setup correctly, please run the following command and resolve any issues that arise before proceeding to the next steps.

$ flutter doctor

DIDKit and SSI

This project also depends on two other Spruce projects, DIDKit and SSI.

These projects are all configured to work with relative paths by default, so it is recommended to clone them all under the same root directory, for example $HOME/$FOLDER_NAME/{didkit,ssi,altme}.

PolygonID Flutter SDK

This is a flutter Plugin for PolygonID Mobile SDK (https://polygon.technology/polygon-id) This plugin provides a cross-platform tool (iOS, Android) to communicate with the PolygonID platform.

Target-Specific Dependencies

Android Dependencies

To build Altme for Android, you will require both the Android SDK and NDK.

These two dependencies can be easily obtained with Android Studio, which install further dependencies upon first being opened after installation. Installing the appropriate Android NDK (often not the newest) in Android Studio can be accomplished by going to Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK and selecting to install the "NDK (Side by Side)".

An alternative method of installing SDK and NDK without Android Studio can be found in the script below:

cd $HOME
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip
unzip sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip -d Android
rm sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-6200805_latest.zip
unzip commandlinetools-linux-6200805_latest.zip -d Android/cmdline-tools
rm commandlinetools-linux-6200805_latest.zip
echo 'export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Android' >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64' >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/tools/bin:"$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/tools/lib:"$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools:"$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:"$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc
. $HOME/.bashrc
sdkmanager --sdk_root=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT --install "system-images;android-29;google_apis;x86" "system-images;android-29;google_apis;x86_64" "platform-tools" "platforms;android-29" "build-tools;29.0.3" "ndk;22.0.7026061" "cmdline-tools;latest"
sdkmanager --licenses

If your Android SDK doesn't live at $HOME/Android/Sdk you will need to set ANDROID_SDK_ROOT like so:

$ export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/path/to/Android/Sdk

Note: Some users have experienced difficulties with cross-compilation artefacts missing from the newest NDK, which is downloaded by default in the installation process. If you experience errors of this kind, you may have to manually downgrade or install multiple NDK versions as [shown here])(img/ndk_downgrade.png) in the Android Studio installer (screengrabbed from an Ubuntu installation).

If your build-tools and/or NDK live in different locations than the default ones inside /SDK/, or if you want to specify a specific NDK or build-tools version, you can manually configure the following two environment variables:

$ export ANDROID_TOOLS=/path/to/SDK/build-tools/XX.X.X/
$ export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/path/to/SDK/ndk/XX.X.XXXXX/

:::

iOS Dependencies

To build Altme for iOS you will need to install CocoaPods, which can be done with Homebrew on MacOS.

$ brew install cocoapods

Building DIDKit for different targets

Android

To build DIDKit for the Android targets, you will go to the root of DIDKit and run:

$ make -C lib install-rustup-android
$ make -C lib ../target/test/java.stamp
$ make -C lib ../target/test/android.stamp
$ make -C lib ../target/test/flutter.stamp
$ cargo build

This may take some time as it compiles the entire project for multiple targets

iOS

To build DIDKit for the iOS targets, you will go to the root of DIDKit and run:

$ make -C lib install-rustup-ios
$ make -C lib ../target/test/ios.stamp
$ cargo build

Shortcut setup

In order to handle installation of didkit, ssi, polygonid-flutter-sdk and altme, we can run shortcut script. We can also get the warnings if we have not configured the required things for building Altme.

For consistent app builts we can use fvm.

You have to add the install_altme.sh in the directory $HOME/$FOLDER_NAME/. Then run the following command to do the setup:

# Android
$ ./install_altme.sh -android

# iOS
$ ./install_altme.sh -ios

Generate missing .g.dart file

In order to generate all *.g.dart files, run the following command:

$ flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

PolygonID Flutter SDK Configuration

For iOS only:

1. Add to your app's Podfile the following post_install code:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    ...
    end
    # polygon-setup
    if target.name == "Pods-Runner"
      puts "Updating #{target.name} OTHER_LDFLAGS"
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                      xcconfig_path = config.base_configuration_reference.real_path
                      xcconfig = File.read(xcconfig_path)
                      new_xcconfig = xcconfig.sub('OTHER_LDFLAGS = $(inherited)', 'OTHER_LDFLAGS = $(inherited) -force_load "${PODS_ROOT}/../.symlinks/plugins/polygonid_flutter_sdk/ios/librapidsnark.a" -force_load "${PODS_ROOT}/../.symlinks/plugins/polygonid_flutter_sdk/ios/libwitnesscalc_authV2.a" -force_load "${PODS_ROOT}/../.symlinks/plugins/polygonid_flutter_sdk/ios/libwitnesscalc_credentialAtomicQueryMTPV2.a" -force_load "${PODS_ROOT}/../.symlinks/plugins/polygonid_flutter_sdk/ios/libwitnesscalc_credentialAtomicQuerySigV2.a" -force_load "${PODS_ROOT}/../.symlinks/plugins/polygonid_flutter_sdk/ios/libgmp.a" -force_load "${PODS_ROOT}/../.symlinks/plugins/polygonid_flutter_sdk/ios/libpolygonid.a"')
                      File.open(xcconfig_path, "w") { |file| file << new_xcconfig }
         end
     end
  end
end

Note

Please check PolygonID Flutter SDK for smooth running of polygonid-flutter-sdk.

P.S. Using iOS simulator for testing wallet sdk is right now under maintenance and will be available soon.

For instance, on Flutter, you can delete build files to start over by running:

$ flutter clean

Also, reviewing the install_altme.sh script may be helpful.

Supported Protocols

All QRCode interactions start as listed below:

• User scans a QRCode containing a URL;
• User is presented the choice to trust the domain in the URL;
• App makes a GET request to the URL;

Then, depending on the type of message, one of the following protocols will be executed.

CredentialOffer

After receiving a CredentialOffer from a trusted host, the app calls the API with subject_id in the form body, that value is the didKey obtained from the private key stored in the FlutterSecureStorage, which is backed by KeyStore on Android and Keychain on iOS.

The flow of events and actions is listed below:

• User is presented a credential preview to review and make a decision;
• App generates didKey from the stored private key using DIDKit.keyToDIDKey;
• App makes a POST request to the initial URL with the subject set to the didKey;
• App receives and stores the new credential;
• User is redirect back to the wallet.

And below is another version of the step-by-step:

Wallet	1		Server
Scan QRCode 2
Trust Host	○ / ×
HTTP GET		→	https://domain.tld/endpoint
		←	CredentialOffer
Preview Credential
Choose DID	○ / ×
HTTP POST 3		→	https://domain.tld/endpoint
		←	VerifiableCredential
Verify Credential
Store Credential

¹ Whether this action requires user confirmation, exiting the flow early when the user denies.
² The QRCode should contain the HTTP endpoint where the requests will be made.
³ The body of the request contains a field subject_id set to the chosen DID.

VerifiablePresentationRequest

After receiving a VerifiablePresentationRequest from a trusted host, the app calls the API with presentation the form body, that value is a JSON encoded string with the presentation obtained from the selected credential and signed with the credential's private key using DIDKit.issuePresentation.

Here are some of the parameters used to generate a presentation:

• presentation
  • id is set to a random UUID.v4 string;
  • holder is set to the selected credential's didKey;
  • verifiableCredential is set to the credential value;
• options
  • verificationMethod is set to the DID's verificationMethod id;
  • proofPurpose is set to 'authentication';
  • challenge is set to the request's `challenge';
  • domain is set to the request's `domain';
• key is the credential's stored private key;

The flow of events and actions is listed below:

• User is presented a presentation request to review and make a decision;
• App generates didKey from the stored private key using DIDKit.keyToDIDKey;
• App issues a presentation using DIDKit.issuePresentation;
• App makes a POST request to the initial URL with the presentation;
• User is redirect back to the wallet.

And below is another version of the step-by-step:

Wallet	1		Server
Scan QRCode 2
Trust Host	○ / ×
HTTP GET		→	https://domain.tld/endpoint
		←	VerifiablePresentationRequest
Preview Presentation
Choose Verifiable Credential	○ / ×
HTTP POST 3		→	https://domain.tld/endpoint
		←	Result

Working with Translations 🌐

This project relies on flutter_localizations and follows the official internationalization guide for Flutter.

Adding Strings

1. To add a new localizable string, open the app_en.arb file at lib/l10n/arb/app_en.arb.

{
    "@@locale": "en",
    "counterAppBarTitle": "Counter",
    "@counterAppBarTitle": {
        "description": "Text shown in the AppBar of the Counter Page"
    }
}

2. Then add a new key/value and description

{
    "@@locale": "en",
    "counterAppBarTitle": "Counter",
    "@counterAppBarTitle": {
        "description": "Text shown in the AppBar of the Counter Page"
    },
    "helloWorld": "Hello World",
    "@helloWorld": {
        "description": "Hello World Text"
    }
}

3. Use the new string

import 'package:altme/l10n/l10n.dart';

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  final l10n = context.l10n;
  return Text(l10n.helloWorld);
}

Adding Supported Locales

Update the CFBundleLocalizations array in the Info.plist at ios/Runner/Info.plist to include the new locale.

    ...

    <key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
	<array>
		<string>en</string>
		<string>es</string>
	</array>

    ...

Adding Translations

1. For each supported locale, add a new ARB file in lib/l10n/arb.

├── l10n
│   ├── arb
│   │   ├── app_en.arb
│   │   └── app_es.arb

2. Add the translated strings to each .arb file:

app_en.arb

{
    "@@locale": "en",
    "counterAppBarTitle": "Counter",
    "@counterAppBarTitle": {
        "description": "Text shown in the AppBar of the Counter Page"
    }
}

app_es.arb

{
    "@@locale": "es",
    "counterAppBarTitle": "Contador",
    "@counterAppBarTitle": {
        "description": "Texto mostrado en la AppBar de la página del contador"
    }
}
