# KROW Workforce Mobile 📱
This folder holds the mobile app code for the KROW Workforce apps.
This project uses [Melos](https://melos.invertase.dev/) to manage multiple Flutter packages and applications.
## 📂 Project Structure
The project is organized into modular packages to ensure separation of concerns and maintainability.
- **`apps/`**: Main application entry points.
- `client`: The application for businesses/clients.
- `staff`: The application for workforce/staff.
- `design_system_viewer`: A gallery of our design system components.
- **`packages/`**: Shared logic and feature modules.
- `features/`: UI and business logic for specific features (e.g., Auth, Home, Hubs).
- `features/client`: Client specific features.
- `features/staff`: Staff specific features.
- `design_system/`: Shared UI components, tokens (colors, spacing), and core widgets.
- `domain/`: Shared business entities and repository interfaces.
- `data_connect/`: Data access layer (Mocks and Firebase Data Connect SDK).
- `core_localization/`: Internationalization using Slang.
- `core/`: Base utilities and common logic.
## 🚀 Getting Started
### 1. Prerequisites
Ensure you have the Flutter SDK installed and configured.
### 2. Android Keystore Setup (Required for Release Builds)
To build release APKs/AABs for Android, you need the signing keystores. The keystore configuration (`key.properties`) is committed to the repository, but the actual keystore files are **not** for security reasons.
#### For Local Development (First-time Setup)
Contact your team lead to obtain the keystore files:
- `krow_with_us_client_dev.jks` - Client app signing keystore
- `krow_with_us_staff_dev.jks` - Staff app signing keystore
Once you have the keystores, copy them to the respective app directories:
```bash
# Copy keystores to their locations
cp krow_with_us_client_dev.jks apps/mobile/apps/client/android/app/
cp krow_with_us_staff_dev.jks apps/mobile/apps/staff/android/app/
```
The `key.properties` configuration files are already in the repository:
- `apps/mobile/apps/client/android/key.properties`
- `apps/mobile/apps/staff/android/key.properties`
No manual property file creation is needed — just place the `.jks` files in the correct locations.
#### For CI/CD (CodeMagic)
CodeMagic uses a native keystore management system. Follow these steps:
**Step 1: Upload Keystores to CodeMagic**
1. Go to **CodeMagic Team Settings****Code signing identities****Android keystores**
2. Upload the keystore files with these **Reference names** (important!):
- `krow_client_dev` (for dev builds)
- `krow_client_staging` (for staging builds)
- `krow_client_prod` (for production builds)
- `krow_staff_dev` (for dev builds)
- `krow_staff_staging` (for staging builds)
- `krow_staff_prod` (for production builds)
3. When uploading, enter the keystore password, key alias, and key password for each keystore
**Step 2: Automatic Environment Variables**
CodeMagic automatically injects the following environment variables based on the keystore reference:
- `CM_KEYSTORE_PATH_CLIENT` / `CM_KEYSTORE_PATH_STAFF` - Path to the keystore file
- `CM_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_CLIENT` / `CM_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_STAFF` - Keystore password
- `CM_KEY_ALIAS_CLIENT` / `CM_KEY_ALIAS_STAFF` - Key alias
- `CM_KEY_PASSWORD_CLIENT` / `CM_KEY_PASSWORD_STAFF` - Key password
**Step 3: Build Configuration**
The `build.gradle.kts` files are already configured to:
- Use CodeMagic environment variables when running in CI (`CI=true`)
- Fall back to `key.properties` for local development
Reference: [CodeMagic Android Signing Documentation](https://docs.codemagic.io/yaml-code-signing/signing-android/)
### 3. Initial Setup
Run the following command from the **project root** to install Melos, bootstrap all packages, generate localization files, and generate the Firebase Data Connect SDK:
```bash
# Using Makefile (Recommended)
make mobile-install
```
This command will:
- Install Melos if not already installed
- Generate the Firebase Data Connect SDK from schema files
- Bootstrap all packages (install dependencies)
- Generate localization files
**Note:** The Firebase Data Connect SDK files (`dataconnect_generated/`) are auto-generated and not committed to the repository. They will be regenerated automatically when you run `make mobile-install` or any mobile development commands.
### 4. Running the Apps
You can run the applications using Melos scripts or through the `Makefile`:
First, find your device ID:
```bash
flutter devices
```
#### Client App
```bash
# Using Melos
melos run start:client -- -d <device_id>
# Using Makefile (DEVICE defaults to 'android' if not specified)
make mobile-client-dev-android DEVICE=<device_id>
```
#### Staff App
```bash
# Using Melos
melos run start:staff -- -d <device_id>
# Using Makefile (DEVICE defaults to 'android' if not specified)
make mobile-staff-dev-android DEVICE=<device_id>
```
## 🛠 Useful Commands
- **Bootstrap**: `melos bootstrap` (Installs all dependencies)
- **Generate All**: `melos run gen:all` (Localization + Code Generation)
- **Analyze**: `melos run analyze:all`
- **Test**: `melos run test:all`
- **Help**: `melos run info` (Shows all available custom scripts)
## 🏗 Coding Principles
- **Clean Architecture**: We strictly follow Domain-Driven Design and Clean Architecture.
- **Modularity**: Every feature should be its own package in `packages/features/`. Client and staff specific features should be in their respective packages.
- **Consistency**: Use the `design_system` package for all UI elements to ensure a premium, unified look.
