Beta channel

In order to receive updates quicker than others, you need to do two things:

1. Join the G+ group so you are eligible for testing
2. Then explicitly enable beta versions of the software in Google Play

As beta testers, please make sure you have a recent backup of the masterseed and all private keys inside Mycelium. Beta testers will experience many bugs. So far, restoring the wallet from masterseed has never been necessary, but we offer no guarantees.

Building

To build everything from source, simply checkout the source and build using gradle on the build system you need:

• JDK 1.7

Then you need to use the Android SDK manager to install the following components:

• ANDROID_HOME environment variable pointing to the directory where the SDK is installed
• Android SDK Tools 22.6.4
• SDK Platform Tools 19.0.2
• Android SDK build Tools 19.1.0
• Android 4.4.2 (API 19) (at least SDK Platform Rev. 3)
• Android Extras:
  • Android Support Repository rev 5
  • Android Support Library rev 19.1
  • Google Play services for Froyo rev 12
  • Google Play services rev 17
  • Google Repository rev 8

The project layout is designed to be used with a recent version of Android Studio (currently 1.1.0)

Build commands

On the console type:

git clone https://github.com/mycelium-com/wallet-android.git
cd wallet-android
git submodule update --init --recursive

Linux/Mac type:

./gradlew clean test mbw::asProdRel mbw::asBtRel

Windows type:

gradlew.bat clean test mbw::asProdRel mbw::asBtRel

• Voila, look into mbw/build/outputs/apk/ to see the generated apk. There are versions for both prodnet and testnet.

Alternatively you can install the latest version from the Play Store.

If you cannot access the Play store, you can obtain the apk directly from https://mycelium.com/bitcoinwallet

Deterministic builds

To validate the Mycelium image you obtain from Google Play Store, you can rebuild the Mycelium wallet yourself using Docker and compare both images following these steps:

• Create your own Docker image from our simple Dockerfile

    $ docker build . --tag mycelium-wallet
  

  Check that this step succeeds by listing the available docker images:

    $ docker images | grep mycelium-wallet
  

• Build Mycelium using Docker

    $ docker run --rm --volume $(pwd):/project --workdir /project mycelium-wallet \
        ./gradlew clean test :mbw:assProdRel :modulespvbch:assProdRel -x :bitcoincashj:core:test \
        && sudo chown -R $USER:$USER . \
        && ./collectApks.sh
  

  If this step complains about the ndk not being available, check your local.properties and comment out everything.

  (As maintainer you want to run a slightly different command: docker run --rm --volume $(pwd):/project --volume 'path/to/keys.properties':/project/keys.properties --volume 'path/to/keystore_mbwProd':/project/keystore_mbwProd --volume 'path/to/keystore_mbwTest':/project/keystore_mbwTest --workdir /project mycelium-wallet ./gradlew clean test :mbw:assBtctRel :modulespvbch:assBtctRel :mbw:assProdRel :modulespvbch:assProdRel :mbw:assBtctDeb :modulespvbch:assBtctDeb :mbw:assProdDeb :modulespvbch:assProdDeb -PenforceReleaseSigning -x :bitcoincashj:core:test to build all debug and release variants of both mbw and the bch module, with the release signing keys being enforced and mounted in docker.)

  After this step succeeds, the mbw apk is in mbw/builds/outputs/apk.

• Retrieve Google Play Mycelium APK from your phone Gets package path:

    $ adb shell pm path com.mycelium.wallet
    package:/data/app/com.mycelium.wallet-1/base.apk
  

  Retrieve file:

    $ adb pull /data/app/com.mycelium.wallet-1/base.apk mycelium-signed.apk
  

• Compare signed apk with unsigned locally built apk using Signal's apkdiff

    python apkdiff.py mycelium-signed.apk mbw/build/outputs/apk/.....your-prodnet.apk
  

• You might have to sudo chown -R $USER:$USER . as the docker user might create files that you have no access to under your normal user.

This work is based on WhisperSystems Signal reproducible builds 1 2
