Client

Configuration and compilation of the client side (Flutter)

First, we will proceed with the necessary updates for both the Android and iOS apps.

Android

To begin, we need to create release keystores for signing the APKs or aab bundles. You can use the command provided below, replacing [key_alias_name] with the desired alias name of your choice:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore keystore.jks -alias [your_alias_name] -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Ensure you have copied this file to the driver's and rider's frontend folders. Then, open the key.properties file located in the android folder and enter the alias name and password you have chosen for the keystore in the appropriate fields.

Now, execute the following command to display the signature of both your system's debug keystore and the release keystore. Take a copy of the SHA-1 and SHA-256 values, as we will need them later.

../gradlew signingreport

Next, open the build.gradle file located in the app folder. Inside this file, you will find the line that specifies the applicationId. Update this line to match the application identifier of your own brand.

android {
    compileSdkVersion 33

    sourceSets {
        main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
    }

    defaultConfig {
        // TODO: Specify your own unique Application ID 
-       applicationId com.ridy.taxi.rider
+       applicationId com.yourCompanyName.taxi.driver

iOS

Next, we will do the same for iOS apps. Please open the Runner.xcworkspace in either rider-frontend/driver-frontend's ios folder. Next click on the Runner project in the left panel so the project settings would appear. Then under the Signing and Capabilities tab, you can change the bundle identifier:

Firebase

You can now head to the Firebase console and create a Flutter Firebase app on the project created during the first Firebase setup.

During the flutter application creation, you will be instructed on how to install Firebase CLI & FlutterFire tool:

Once you have installed those tools, Firebase will prompt you to connect your apps to the Firebase project. This process is seamless and can be accomplished by executing a command similar to the one provided below by Firebase:

flutterfire configure --project=something

When you run this command, you will be presented with the option to configure which apps you want to connect with Firebase. You can uncheck macOS since ridy does not support macOS client officially.

Here's a clear and concise documentation section you can use:

🔧 Configure API Base URL

Before running the Rider and Driver apps, you must set the correct API endpoints in the environment files.

Step 1: Locate the .env files

Each of the following folders contains two environment files:

• apps/rider-frontend

• apps/driver-frontend

Inside each, you'll find:

• .env.dev

• .env.prod

Step 2: Set the BASE_URL variable

Edit both .env.dev and .env.prod files in each app.

Set the BASE_URL variable as follows:

• For the Rider app (apps/rider-frontend):

  BASE_URL=http://your-server-ip/rider-api/

• For the Driver app (apps/driver-frontend):

  BASE_URL=http://your-server-ip/driver-api/

💡 You can find your your-server-ip by taking the URL you used to access the admin panel and removing the /admin suffix.

For example, if you accessed the admin panel at:

http://127.0.0.1/admin

Then:

• Rider BASE_URL → http://127.0.0.1/rider-api/

• Driver BASE_URL → http://127.0.0.1/driver-api/

Make sure each URL ends with a trailing slash (/) to avoid request issues.

Let me know if you want a table or script snippet to automatically fill in these values.

With the above steps completed, you can now compile either the driver or rider app using Flutter's standard build commands.

Android

// Build with debug keystore
flutter build apk
flutter build appbundle

// Build with release keystore
flutter build apk --release
flutter build appbundle --release

iOS
