openbazaar-go for mobile

Purpose

This target allows a version of openbazaar-go to be compiled for use with Android or iOS. The primary changes are shorter timeouts around network requests and tighter resource management with a few details which allows a native frontend to speak with the server process.

Prepare

There are a few dependencies which must be installed and setup before a build can be completed.

iOS dependencies

• go get golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gomobile
• gomobile init
• Install xcode and accept EULA/T&Cs.

Android dependencies

• go get -u golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/...
• gomobile init -ndk ~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/ (your Android NDK path may be different that this)

Build

iOS

• Execute make ios_framework in your local openbazaar-go repo. This should produce a Mobile.framework file which may be included in your iOS project.

Android

• Execute make android_framework in your local openbazaar-go repo. These must be executed from the root of the project and cannot be built inside a virtualized container or process.
