* Remove "abi" product flavor and introduce "engine" product flavor.
This patch will allow us to build Fenix against GeckoView Nightly and GeckoView Beta by
introducing a new flavor dimension: engine = [geckoNightly, geckoBeta].
In addition to that it adds a "fenix" prefix to the nightly, beta and production flavors
to reduce the ambiguity between fenix beta/nightly and GeckoView beta/nightly.
For now the build types have the following engine variants enabled:
**debug**: geckoNightly, geckoBeta
Both variants enabled for local development and testing.
**forPerformanceTest**: geckoNightly, geckoBeta
Both variants enabled unless the perf team only cares about Nightly (tbd)
**fenixNightlyLegacy**: geckoBeta
Uses GeckoView Beta for now - the same version we ship production builds with (same behavior
as before). This release type will eventualyl be decommissioned once we switch to a separate
Nightly app on Google Play.
**fenixNightly**: geckoBeta
Uses GeckoView Beta for now - the same version we ship production builds with (same behavior
as before). Changing this build to use GeckoView Nightly is currently being discussed.
**fenixBeta**: geckoBeta
Fenix Beta uses GeckoView Beta.
**fenixProduction**
Fenix Production uses GeckoView Beta (69) currently.
* gradle.py/variant.py: Replace "abi" with "engine".
* Disable enableUnitTestBinaryResources until we can switch to Android Gradle plugin 3.5.
* Fenix nightly should use both geckoview nightly and beta
* Updates automation to use apk splitting and support different engine
* Adding l10n screenshot tests for Fenix
* fixing comments
* fix klint and detekt error and adding all tests
* better test name and doc added explaining tests
This was merged in after feature freeze so we're pulling it out for
now. Pull to refresh will continue to work in debug mode so that the
design can be iterated on easily.
* Closes#2782: Hide send tab when no devices available
* For #2752: Enabled send tab for debug and nightly builds
* For #2753: Add Send Tab functionality to UI
* Updates Fenix taskcluster tasks to support beta release
* Throw error if -PversionName isn't set for release builds
* Uses beta secrets for beta
* Improves nightly and beta treeherder symbols
This fetches the Google Advertising ID, salts it and
then applies hashing before sending a ping with it,
at startup. Hashing and salting are used in order
to prevent ourselves to correlate advertising IDs
from the same user running different products we
own off a single device. We will never send the
client_id and the Google Advertising ID in the same
ping.
Our main dependency - android-components - is tightly integrated
against a certain version of appservices. Having a direct dependency
at the Fenix level is a foot-gun: it allows Fenix to consume an API-incompatible
version of appservices, breaking parts of android-components. Due to
how gradle dependency resolution works, this breakage is "silent": there are
no compile time warnings. A recent example of this is broken history sync,
and buggy FxA experience in Fenix.
This patch removes a direct dependency, letting android-components dictate
which appservices version should be used Fenix builds.
This patch integrates the new a-c BackgroundSyncManager, which is the
main entry point for interacting with Sync. Behind the scenes, it uses
WorkManager in order to sync configured syncable stores.
Current behaviour:
- sync runs on start, with a slight delay
- sync runs on a schedule few times a day, to lessen the startup sync burden
Also included is a basic UI integration in order to allow user to synchronize
on demand, and monitor sync state.
This patch integrates relevant a-c components, and updates the current Preferences
UI to allow signing-in and displaying basic account information (email, displayName).
Currently there's no Accounts UI, and so singing out or otherwise interacting with the
account isn't possible.

For now it will be a bit annoying to have all those flavors. But once the transition has been
successfully completed we can start to tear them down again.
Once GeckoView universal builds are available we can get rid of the "abi" dimension.
If this is going to slow down the CI process then I might look into parallelizing the build
or potentially introducing a taskcluster CI setup (if that makes sense).
The Android Lifecycle Architecture component does not have fine-grained enough lifecycle event callbacks to safely manage Rx subscriptions in Fragment lifecycles. Added autodispose to simplify.
This fixes a regression from https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/pull/294
That patch adds a dependency which loads some native libraries. Those native libs are
shipped for a variety of architectures. Specifically, there are versions of aarch64 and armv7.
What seems to happen is that since those libraries are loaded first (GV is lazily initialized
after history stuff), and since aarch64 versions of these libs is chosen by the native loader,
consequent native loads select for the same abi type. aarch64 version of libmozglue isn't there,
loader fails to find it and we crash.
Being explicit with the abiFilter in the product flavour definitions strips out aarch64 app-services
libs from the apk. When they're loaded first, armv7 versions are picked (since we don't have any other
ones), and everything works correctly afterwards.
Another way to achieve the same result would be to exclude arm64 libs via packagignOptions directive:
packagingOptions { exclude "lib/arm64-v8a/**" }
... but that's a less flexible approach in the longer term.
