Things we should probably fix

Card for voting on name should probably have a max height and scroller.

Vision for the future

This app is free, open-source and without ads. This will never change. I can imagine a future where we create some freemium model to compensate for the infrastructure and maintenance costs, but the idea is initially to serve the cirque community, while not costing me (too much) money.

Future functionality should be largely influenced by the community. I am always open to feedback, feature requests, bugs, or any thoughts, positive or negative, on the app.

I want users to use the app to find new tricks, document stuff they've done, mark their progress on their skills,

Build and development quirks

Android Build error (Firebase / Support library)

Related: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51747801/ionic-3-execution-failed-for-task-appprocessdebugmanifest

Fix:

1. Open platforms/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
2. Add the following namespace to the <manifest> tag <manifest [...] xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
3. Under <Application> add the following element: <meta-data android:name="android.support.VERSION" android:value="26.1.0" tools:replace="android:value" />

Possibly do cordova clean to unfuck the current build.

Firebase Setup

Place your google-services.json and the IOS one into the root folder of the project to have it picked up by the FireBase plugin.

Android custom Notification Icon

Add this to AndroidManifest.xml

<meta-data android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon" android:resource="@drawable/ic_notification" />

Then extract the zip file: resources/android/ic_notification.zip to platforms/android/src/main.

Then pray to whatever god you believe in, and build. todo: Automate this stuff so that it's not longer a manual action.

Android Debug Manifest for local development

Android doesn't allow unsecured http connections anymore, which makes local testing a but difficult. Link Create platforms/android/app/src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml and paste the following in it:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<manifest android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:versionCode="600" android:versionName="0.6.0" package="com.cirquelapp.app" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true">
    </application>
</manifest>
