Can't use source code

[lalitsharmaking]

I am very new to coding and I have tried everything searched everywhere but can't understand the meaning of - " cd in the project repo or how to run bootstrap " can someone help me because I tried to open this project without it and it's showing error

The instructions say:

cd into the project repo and run make bootstrap to bootstrap your Android development environment. Keep an eye on the output to see if any manual steps are required.

That means that you should run the following:

git clone https://github.com/kickstarter/android-oss.git

And then cd into it:

cd android-oss

And then run make bootstrap. The output should say if any manual steps are required.

What happens when you follow these instructions?

would be greatful if u can help

Sadly, I can't. I never even heard of this project before you mentioned it on lazygit's issue board.

Hopefully someone from the dev team can help you. Good luck!

kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_11.toString() useIR = true } it is also saying - a problem occured while evaluating the app

caused by : groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Could not set unknown property 'useIR' for object of type org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.dsl.KotlinJvmOptionsImpl

Hello there @lalitsharmaking , the error indicates that some of the Firebase google-services.json configuration files are not available, as those are private configuration files, but there are some templates on the repository such as https://github.com/kickstarter/android-oss/blob/master/config/externalDebug/google-services.example.json You can simple rename those files taking out the .example on your local project. Also make sure you have installed in your local machine the correct Java version, in this case as the jvmTarget indicates is version 11.

As a suggestion for handling versions on your local machine you probably want to use some kind of version manager tool such as https://sdkman.io/

Have fun exploring our project! 💖
