To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Following README instruction to build the app using Android Studio

Expected behavior Successful compilation

Screenshots It seems like the .debug namespace used for Firebase doesn't match any more the gradle config. I am suspecting that the README file is out of date compared to this commented out line:

This is likely causing config problems, resulting in loss of BuildConfig variables like here:

At the end of the day, I am with this first error out of 12: e: file:///Dev/AndroidLab/habitica-android/Habitica/src/main/java/com/habitrpg/android/habitica/helpers/Analytics.kt:84:50 Unresolved reference: STORE

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: [e.g. Moto G5]
• OS: [e.g. Android 9]
• App Version: [e.g. 2.2]
• Habitica Username:

I faced the same issue, additionally, if I change the .STORE with .DEBUG that is present on BuildConfig class, the compilation still fails for me with following errors:

e: file:///Users/dokkis/Documents/Projects/habitica-android/Habitica/src/main/java/com/habitrpg/android/habitica/ui/activities/ClassSelectionActivity.kt:78:32 Unresolved reference: isClassSelected e: file:///Users/dokkis/Documents/Projects/habitica-android/Habitica/src/main/java/com/habitrpg/android/habitica/ui/activities/ClassSelectionActivity.kt:210:45 Unresolved reference: opt_out_description e: file:///Users/dokkis/Documents/Projects/habitica-android/Habitica/src/main/java/com/habitrpg/android/habitica/ui/activities/ClassSelectionActivity.kt:226:49 Unresolved reference: change_class_confirmation_message e: file:///Users/dokkis/Documents/Projects/habitica-android/Habitica/src/main/java/com/habitrpg/android/habitica/ui/activities/ClassSelectionActivity.kt:276:72 Unresolved reference: choosing_class_progress

@phillipthelen I reverted locally the last commit https://github.com/HabitRPG/habitica-android/commit/7d230ecfa1e5c621ef9b1f543e07f231cf7d26d1 and it seems to compiling just fine now. Is it possible you missed to commit some files, there are some straightforward things missing, such as missing strings in the xml file, e.g. opt_out_description, change_class_confirmation_message and choosing_class_progress and other stuff that prevent the project to compile. Also the error about the BuildConfig.STORE is gone after reverting the last commit you made. Can you please take a look into it?

By reverting I can run the app in the emulator, but I see following error now making the app crashing

it might require additional config that is not present in the README.

Even after reverting the last commit I have a problem to login.

Here the login throws. It throws because because in ApiClientImpl we're trying to setUserID to Amplitude. But Amplitude is never initialized in debug mode here.

Locally I've commented the line. But I don't know how should we proceed to make it work.

Maybe place a guard in every method of AmplitudeManager like it's the case for sendEvent

    fun sendEvent(
        eventAction: String?,
        eventCategory: String?,
        hitType: String?,
        additionalData: Map<String, Any>? = null
    ) {
        if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            return
        }

Hi, I've made it work a while ago, but I had to do so many changes that I don't know which one will help. I didn't have to modify the code, only the config files.

• I set up my own keystore
• I set up Firebase, but also registered the app in my own Google Ad account, even if the app is not published
• I use my own domain name instead of habitica's, to avoid collisions with the release app that I also use for my own habit tracking. Everything is connecting to a self-hosted habitica server through a docker container at home.
• I forked Haffzle's version/4.3.0 instead of the main developer branch

Anyways, I was about to push a commit on my personal fork, but I'm too new to this, I feel shy making my changes public at the moment.

But again, here below you can see that there shouldn't be any need to alter code, as far as I'm concerned.

Also, every time, I have to make sure that the correct flavor is selected for all modules of the app, because many times, changing one does not necessarily synchronize properly the others.

[nikonhub]

Yes the app builds. But can you login ?

[diyoyo]

Well, I can login to the accounts I have set up on my self-hosted instance. Of course, this is separate from the official habitica network.

assigned our developer to take a look at the readme instructions when he has a chance. we've been doing a lot of important maintenance and optimizations recently, so it may be a bit before we have to time to dig into this. thanks for your feedback and patience!

I followed the README steps re: setting habitica files and grabbing the google-services json and was able to sync/build without trouble.
