Install the mobile aat setup package

This package will help you make the mobile AAT app. If you haven't installed Python yet. First, install Python 3

Once Python is installed, run this from your Terminal App on a Mac or from Command Prompt on Windows:

pip install mobile_aat_setup (if pip does not work, try pip3)

Setup the app

Next you run the four lines below to download the newest version of the mobile AAT app. The code also changes the app’s package ID (so you can upload your own version of the app to the Playstore) and links the app to your google Firebase account.

Adjust the paths in the following lines so they point to the path where you want to store the mobile AAT app and to the path of the google-services.json that you downloaded from firebase. Next run those four lines with python. To open python, go into your Terminal and type python or python3:

from mobile_aat_setup.setup import setup_aat

PATH_TO_WHERE_YOU_WANT_TO_STORE_THE_APP = '/Users/hilmarzech/Desktop/mobileaat'
PATH_TO_GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON = '/Users/hilmarzech/Desktop/google-services.json'

setup_aat(PATH_TO_WHERE_YOU_WANT_TO_STORE_THE_APP, PATH_TO_GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON)

Download Android Studio and open the created app folder
