mVoter Cloud Functions

This repo contains code for updating and deploying mechanism for mVoter 2020 mobile applications. This is open sourced for educational purpose, and because we believe that softwares made with public money should be publicly available. Read more on Public Money, Public Code here.

Requirements

• NodeJS version 10
• Firebase CLI

Setup environment

• Download your own serviceAccount.json from Firebase Console and put it in ./functions.
• Create keys.json file in ./functions and add the following.

{
  "hash": "YOUR_OWN_SECRET_KEY"
}

What this does? (Background)

By running this on Firebase cloud function, we give 4 endpoints for the developers to work with between forced and relaxed updates.

/ios/update /android/update endpoints are embedded in end user's application to ping whenever there is a update and the function compares if there is a forced update between the user's current version and latest version ranges. It sends back the self updating links with a special is_forced_update flag.

/ios/deploy and /android/deploy endpoints are mainly used for Developers. Android app altogether with special flags, uploads the APK file on build time to self-hosted storage. iOS app however does the same thing but instead it will only point to App Store.
