Fedora App

[Sanjay Prajapat]

Hello Everyone,
           I read about Fedora App and i want to contribute into it. But
i'have some questions :
           Fedora App project is divided into two parts :
                             1. UI/UX Research and Design
                             2. Backend
           Can i apply for only one part or both ?

I am trying to clone the App repository
https://github.com/sumantro93/Fedora-Community-App and build the app
since last 2-3 days but project build is not working. I am using Android
Studio 3.0.1, Does this project is build under something different version
of android studio or different IDE like Eclipse or am i missing something ?

Hi, you can apply for both projects.  I encourage you to talk to the specific mentors and see if there is one that suits you better than the other so we have that data when reading applications.

I am going to let the mentors reply here.

They are two different project ideas, but you can talk to the mentors
and ask them if you can work on both if you would like to do so. The
points of contact for the project are Kanika Murarka and Sumantro Mukherjee.

You should discuss this in the repository issue tracker, not in this
mailing list. Writing documentation on whatever you do to solve your
problems or fixing the builds (if they are broken) are a good start
which could boost your chances of being accepted in the project.

The app isn't native Android (the regular JAVA based app), rather it's
a hybrid app[1] using Ionic Framework[2] and Cordova[3]. You need
those three along with the Android SDK to build the app. I have
outlined the requirements in a patch I submitted -- it's pending
review. You can see them in this pull request.[4]

It's isn't very straightforward to build the app in its current form.
I have tried to address some of the issues in my PR, but there are
still some additional bits.

1. Remove the `node_modules` folder.
2. Install python, gcc, gcc-c++ and make if you are on Linux or XCode
if you are on a mac. Good luck if you are in windows as the procedure
for installing the compilers is awful. (You need the correct version
of Visual Studio, depending on the version of NodeJS installed)

Hi Sanjay, 
As mentioned in previous replies, you can contribute to both the parts, but you can be selected for only one of it.
