TechConf-db

Building a concise list of technology conferences and conference venues in South Africa

Contributors

Looking for a new open source project to work on? Well, I am looking for you!! I am looking for contributors to help maintain and build new features; source events, venues, and speakers. Anyone is welcome whether you are a developer, designer, project manager, or tester. I have a growing list of exciting (NOT!) features and bugs you can help me with.

Project setup

npm install

Run on the browser - development

npm run serve

Design

Native

Using Capacitor for native builds

Prepare native builds

iOS testing and distribution

1. Download latest Xcode
2. npm run build
3. npx cap add ios
4. npx cap copy
5. npx cap open ios Xcode takes a few minutes to index the files; keep an eye at the top of Xcode's window for progress.

[Not compulsory] For sanity check click on the play button in top left. This will prepare and run the app in a simulator, if all goes well you should be able to login and click around. If not, create an issue 🤷 and I will have a look.

Icons and launch images - Xcode (v11.5) cannot map icons listed in config.xml so this has to be done manually 😞. In the root folder look for Resources and select Images.xcassets. A panel will show up where you can select AppIcon to add app icons or LaunchImage to add launch images.

Android testing and distribution

1. Download latest Android Studio
2. npm run build
3. npx cap add android
4. npx cap copy
5. npx cap open android Android Studio takes a few minutes to index the files, keep an eye at the bottom of Android Studio for progress.
6. Testing - When indexing is complete, look for a green play button. Click the play button and it will launch the app in an emulator (See here to setup Emulator) or on the phone if a phone is connected via USB.
