Plugin development?
Where can I find any hints on plugin development for ATAK-CIV?
Couple good write-ups on this blog. https://www.ballantyne.online/category/atak/
@takdeveloper, @nconder, What is the process for getting a plugin published with ATAK? I have been working on getting my COT over Bluetooth serial (https://github.com/deptofdefense/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV/pull/87) converted from a main app modification to a plugin. It is unclear how one would go about making the plugin available.
@W3DMJ Publish to the Play Store! A few are up there already (e.g. Hammer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atakmap.android.cot_utility.plugin).
our developer has issues with the proper signature on the plugin, so we are stuck in the situation where we can only use it with self-compiled base CaivTAK and it always shows "development version" message atop
per our developer, plugin needs to get a proper signature to be published to the store and be compatible with the store-publiched CivTAK
is it any instruction available on how to publish the plugin?
@takdeveloper as mentioned by @andriyfomenko there is the issue with the cert when building the release version of the plugin. Currently I am using the self-signed cert with the debug version of ATAK-CIV. The tutorials given on https://www.ballantyne.online/build-an-atak-dev-environment/ are good but it stops at getting the development environment established.
What is needed is the process to obtain a copy of the trusted certs or how to register my self-signed cert so it can be added as trusted so the plugin will be recognized as a valid plugin by the published version of ATAK-Civ.
You need to register at tak.gov for an account. You can then submit your code to be signed by the TAK team.
