Getting started

0. Import this project as a whole.

1. Run the server app:

$./gradlew server:run

2. Run the Android app:

$./gradlew android:assembleDebug

or you can import the project with android studio.

3. Run the iOS app:

a. Build the protos common: $./gradlew protos:build

b. Open XCode and import the iOS module and run.

Note: Remember: for development purpose we are running on localhost, so you may want to update the pointing address on each client app.

Troubleshoot

1. On IntelliJ/Android Studio, from :server, I cannot reference to generatedSrc of :protos

-> To fix this: Open Module Settings -> Project Settings -> Modules -> Add "Dinosaurs.protos.commonMain" as a Provided Dependency.

-> If necessary, File -> Invalidate Cache and Restart.
