Graysky is a Bluesky client written in React Native.

Get it here: https://graysky.app/download

You'll need pnpm, and some sort of simulator or device to run the app on.

pnpm install

In the /apps/expo directory, build the dev client using EAS:

cd apps/expo
pnpm build:dev-client:ios
// or
pnpm build:dev-client:android

You can then start the expo server with:

pnpm dev

• Change handle
  • own domain
  • bsky.social
  • community handles
• Push notifications
• Drafts
• Lists support
• Share post as image
• Pro features
  • Polls
  • Analytics

• Install Android Studio, and the Android SDK
• Install Oracle Java 11 JDK
• Make Gradle faster in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx20g -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=2g
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.configureondemand=true
org.gradle.daemon=false
org.gradle.caching=true

You can now either run pnpm build:android to build the app and automatically submit it with eas submit, or if you want to sign a build manually you can do the following:

• Create a signing key in Android Studio
• Build it with: eas build --platform android --profile production-apk --non-interactive --local --output="./foo.apk" --wait
• Sign it with: /Users/alice/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/33.0.0/apksigner sign -ks sideload.jks foo.apk

pnpm build:ios
