A Bitcoin wallet for Arkade built with Tauri 2 (React + TypeScript frontend, Rust backend).

Signed, reproducible builds are published on the Releases page. Each release includes:

• avark-<version>-android-arm64-v8a.apk — modern 64-bit phones (most users).
• avark-<version>-android-armeabi-v7a.apk — older / budget 32-bit phones (many Tecno, Infinix, itel, entry-level Samsung).
• SHA256SUMS + SHA256SUMS.asc — checksums and a GPG signature over them, made by the Avark release key.

See docs/VERIFYING.md if you're unsure which APK to pick (TL;DR: arm64-v8a unless your phone refuses it).

iOS builds are not yet published — track #iOS-release if you want it. For now, iOS users can build locally with pnpm tauri ios build.

Before you install, verify. This is a Bitcoin wallet — users who can't verify shouldn't be trusting it with their sats. See docs/VERIFYING.md for the full process. TL;DR:

gpg --import docs/release-signing-key.asc
gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc SHA256SUMS
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

If any check fails, do not install the binary — open an issue.

• Node.js (v20.19+ or v22.12+)
• pnpm
• Rust (1.86+)

pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev

# Dev mode (hot reload)
pnpm tauri dev

# Production build
pnpm tauri build

1. Install Android Studio and add the NDK via SDK Manager (tested with NDK 26.1.10909125).

2. Install GNU Make 4+ (macOS ships Make 3.81 which can't build vendored OpenSSL):

   brew install make

3. Add Android SDK paths to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):

   export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Library/Android/sdk"
   export NDK_HOME="$ANDROID_HOME/ndk/26.1.10909125"
   export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools"

4. Add the Android Rust targets:

   rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi i686-linux-android x86_64-linux-android

5. Initialize the Tauri Android project (only needed once):

   pnpm tauri android init

The project includes NDK toolchain shims (src-tauri/.ndk-shims/) and Cargo config (src-tauri/.cargo/config.toml) that handle cross-compilation automatically — no manual NDK symlinks or env vars needed beyond the above.

# Dev mode (deploys to connected device/emulator)
pnpm tauri android dev -- --features vendored-openssl

# Production build (APK + AAB for all architectures)
pnpm tauri android build -- --features vendored-openssl

The vendored-openssl feature compiles OpenSSL from source for Android targets. Build output:

• APK: src-tauri/gen/android/app/build/outputs/apk/universal/release/
• AAB: src-tauri/gen/android/app/build/outputs/bundle/universalRelease/

pnpm tauri ios dev
pnpm tauri ios build

tauri.conf.json pins bundle.iOS.developmentTeam to the maintainer's Apple Team ID. If you're building iOS under a different Apple Developer account, override it locally — either edit that field to your own Team ID (don't commit), or set DEVELOPMENT_TEAM via an .xcconfig / Xcode's Signing & Capabilities tab before building.

# Frontend-only dev server (no Tauri, port 1420)
pnpm dev

# Type-check frontend
tsc

# Build frontend only
pnpm build

# Run Rust tests
cargo test --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml

• VS Code + Tauri + rust-analyzer

• Frontend (src/): React 19 + TypeScript, bundled with Vite 7
• Backend (src-tauri/): Rust (Tauri 2), using Arkade rust-sdk for Ark protocol operations
• IPC: Frontend calls Rust commands via invoke() from @tauri-apps/api/core
