Release builds had R8 and resource shrinking off, so every class of every dependency went into the APK unminified: the published 0.1.62 is 42.8 MB for arm64, 25.85 MB of it dex (PF9 in the audit). Turn both on through the properties build.gradle already reads (`android.enableMinifyInReleaseBuilds` and `android.enableShrinkResourcesInReleaseBuilds`). The consumer rules of React Native, Expo, Firebase, ML Kit and the other libraries cover what they load by reflection. The app's own package is kept whole, which costs a few KB and keeps its frames readable in an obfuscated stack trace. Measured on a local x86_64 release build: - APK: 44.7 MB -> 38.0 MB (download size 23.8 MB -> 17.2 MB) - dex: 30.4 MB in 4 files -> 11.3 MB in 2 files - classes: 27,631 -> 16,724 With `-dontobfuscate` the APK would be 38.8 MB (13.5 MB of dex), so obfuscation stays on. Library frames in a release stack trace are now obfuscated; retrace them with that build's `android/app/build/outputs/mapping/release/mapping.txt`. Checked on the emulator: cold start in light and dark mode, German and Russian strings, SENDTO and VIEW mailto and SEND share intents, every sign-in screen, the QR scanner with ML Kit, and an FCM data message starting the headless push task.
Bulwark Mobile
Beta - work in progress. Many features are unfinished or rough. Expect bugs, missing functionality, and breaking changes between releases. Do not rely on this for primary email yet.
React Native (Expo SDK 54) client for Bulwark Webmail - a JMAP-based mail, calendar, and contacts app.
What works today
- Sign in to any JMAP server (e.g. Stalwart)
- Multiple accounts
- Email list, threads, compose
- Calendar (basic)
- Contacts (basic)
- Push notifications via the Bulwark relay - FCM by default, or UnifiedPush (e.g. ntfy) for devices without Google Play services
- In-app sideload updates from GitHub Releases
What's missing or rough
- iOS builds, but push notifications and client certificates are Android-only so far
- S/MIME, plugins, themes - UI stubs only (filters & rules, the vacation responder and file storage are real implementations)
- Calendar editing is partial; contacts editing is basic
- No Play Store distribution yet (sideload APK from Releases); iOS ships via TestFlight
Run locally
npm install
npx expo start
Then press a for Android, i for iOS, or scan the QR with Expo Go.
For release APK builds and signing see docs/android-release.md. For iOS builds and TestFlight distribution see docs/ios-release.md.
