+# PrivacyCentralApp
+An app to let you control and protect your privacy.
+
+# Features
+The following features are currently part of PrivacyCentral app.
+1. Centralized overview dashboard.
+2. Fake location.
+3. Hiding IP address.
+4. Manage granular permissions.
+5. Control trackers across apps.
+
+# Technologies
+- Kotlin as main language
+- Kotlin coroutines and flow for asynchronous code
+- AndroidX (core-ktx, fragment-ktx, and lifecycle etc.)
+- Google Material Design component for UI elements
+- Timber for logging
+- Room for database (may use datastore too)
+- Hilt for DI
+- MapBox for map support
+- LeakCanary for keeping an eye on memory leaks.
+- Junit for unit testing
+- Espresso for integration testing.
+-
+
+# Flavours
+This app comes in two flavours, one for /e/OS and second one for other android (where app doesn't have system access). For more information refer to [Architecture Guide](DEVELOPMENT.md)
+
+# Testing
+Need to write test and add code coverage.
+
+# Development
+
+## Setup
+You can use any latest stable version of android studio to be able to build this app.
+
+## Supported Versions
+- Minimum SDK: 24 (Android N)
+- Compile SDK: 30 (Android R)
+- Target SDK: 30 (Android R)
+
+## API Keys
+This project uses [Mapbox](https://docs.mapbox.com/android/maps/guides/install/) sdk for displaying maps. To download and use the mapbox sdk, you need to supply API key and secret and set them as follows:
+
+### For local build
+You can set them in local.properties
+```
+MAPBOX_KEY=<insert mapbox public key>
+MAPBOX_SECRET_KEY=<insert mapbox secret key>
+```
+*IMP: Never add this file to version control.*
+
+### For CI build
+When building in CI environment, we don't have local.properties file. So the following environment variables must be set:
+```
+export MAPBOX_KEY=<insert mapbox public key>
+export MAPBOX_SECRET_KEY=<insert mapbox secret key>
+```
+
+## Code Style and Quality
+This project uses [ktlint](https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint), provided via the [spotless](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless) gradle plugin. To maintain the same code style, all the codestyle configuration has been bundled into the project.
+
+To check for any codestyle related error, `./gradlew spotlessCheck`. Use `./gradlew spotlessApply` to autoformat in order to fix any code quality related issues.
+
+### Setting up pre-commit hooks
+To strictly enforce the code quality, this project has a pre-commit hook which is triggered everytime before you commit any changes (only applies to *.kt, *.gradle, *.md and *.gitignore). You must setup the pre-commit hook before doing any changes to the project. For that, this project has a script which can executed as follows:
+```bash
+hooks/pre-commit
+```
+
+## Build
+If you'd like to build PrivacyCentral locally, you should be able to just clone and build with no issues.
+
+For building from CLI, you can execute this command:
+```bash
+./gradlew build
+```
+
+## How to use PrivacyCentral apk
+You can build the apk locally by using above instructions or you can download the latest stable apk from `master` branch pipeline.
+
+### To run apk on /e/OS devices
+PrivacyCentral needs to be installed as system app and whitelisting in order to grant some system specific permissions. Follow these steps to make it work properly on /e/OS
+1. Sign the apk with platform certificate. You can use this command to do that -> `apksigner sign --key <platform-key> --cert <platform-cert> --out PrivacyCentral.apk <downloaded-apk-path>`
+2. Install apk as system app and push permissions whitelist with following commands:
+```bash
+adb root && adb remount
+adb shell mkdir system/priv-app/PrivacyCentral
+adb push PrivacyCentral.apk system/priv-app/PrivacyCentral
+```
+
+3. To push permissions whitelist, you can use the following command. It requires the whitelisting [privapp-permissions-foundation.e.privacycentralapp.xml](privapp-permissions-foundation.e.privacycentralapp.xml) file that can be found in the project repository.
+```bash
+adb push privapp-permissions-foundation.e.privacycentralapp.xml /system/etc/permissions/
+
+# Now reboot the device
+adb reboot
+```
+
+### To run apk on stock android devices
+You can simply install the apk. Keep in that mind all features won't be available on stock android devices.
+
+Volla!!!, PrivacyCentral is installed successfully in your device.
+
+# Distribution
+This project can be distributed as prebuilt apk with /e/OS or it can be published on other app stores for non /e/OS devices.
+
+# For developers and contributers
+Please refer to [Development Guide](DEVELOPMENT.md) for detailed instructions about project structure, architecture, design patterns and testing guide.
